Super NES Classic: Damn you Nintendo!

Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2017 5:38 am Post subject:

Been seeing tweets from the NYC Nintendo store. They're going to be making people queue up outside and even after that anybody wanting a SNES wii have to show I.D. and will only be able to pay with a card with their name on it

Our system of quickly navigating an overloaded website was better than that sounds, at least

I thought y'all were being sarcastic.

I have one coming.

I'll put chrono trigger on it and dkc2 once it's hacked.

Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2017 3:25 pm Post subject:

Yeah, FFII, CT, and DKC2 are just about all this needs to be perfect. Ok, there are a few other games that would be nice to add for completeness, but those are the only ones I really feel them missing.

I'm not really a fan of Pilotwings, but I feel that should have been on it.

I like the penguin-diving game in Pilotwings. Check!

Bouncing off the explosives on the ground with rocket pack was always super fun.

You remember more about the game than I do

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:15 pm Post subject:

I don't think I've ever played Pilotwings.

It frustrated the hell out of me back in the day. Doubt I'd have the patience for it now.

I owned it and played it a decent amount. Only occasionally got to the point where your trainer gets kidnapped and you have to actually rescue him, or something like that.

Yeah I'm not telling people to stop talking about it. I still think it's a prominent SNES game that could have easily made the cut. More so than Kirby's Dream Course, anyway.

Yeah it feels like a different game. I half-doubted I was thinking of the right game when I wrote that.

I've been playing Final Fantasy VI with a SNES controller for the first time ever. It really is amazing what a difference it makes!

It is sad that you've been denied that up to now, but I am happy for you.

I first played it on emulator with a computer keyboard. I quickly moved on to a bad PC gamepad. I then played it on Dualshock and then iPhone screen.
This is the SNES version's official debut over here

Did you name your SNES?

Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2017 5:26 pm Post subject:

Name it

Naming your consoles is super weird. I've never done it.

The closest Ive come to naming a console is calling it a useless piece of shit.

Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2017 2:49 pm Post subject:

I've never even heard of people naming their consoles.
It's different (never referred to it as this), but my PS3 system name is "ps3 lol", but that's because I was an early adopter of the console and at launch there were pretty much no games worth playing on it, so I found it funny that I had one.

Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:32 pm Post subject:

Do they make you name your system? I guess I might have a name for it saved then, but I have no idea what it is, because I would have just filled something out to get through the setup.

I think they did when I first set mine up.

The console has now been hacked Mr. Green

Sounds like a pain in the ass.

Seems pretty quick and simple actually.

Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 11:32 pm Post subject:

Especially seeing as you have two, are you going to try this? Almost makes these seem worth having!

I've sold the other one already Mr. Green

I'd already made a list of roms to add when the thing got hacked. I may try it tonight (if the Overwatch Halloween update is delayed or sucks).

Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 8:54 am Post subject:

This is basically too tempting to ignore. Let me know how it goes Damien

Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 11:36 am Post subject:

Wii do. Haven't found the time yet (need to work out where you get SNES Roms in 2017 first), but when I eventually manage it/brick the console, I'll let you know in this thread.

just go to emu russia and go to the english section

Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:02 pm Post subject:

Cool

I'm only going to add about 20 games. Quality over quantity!

Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:26 pm Post subject:

Careful, the Russian ROMs are probably littered with propaganda promoting political division.

Successfully hacked!
ROM sites are a terrible pain to navigate and not every ROM I've loaded currently works, but it's a work in progress and I'll get there eventually. Wasn't that much faff really.

Well done u r 1337 h4x0r now

I'm up there alongside Br4d. A few of the ROMs I loaded didn't work, but it's super easy to add and remove (just plug it into your computer and sync with the application. Takes about half a minute). Some ROMs may just be a bit dodgy. I'm sure somebody is working on 100% compatibility. Will eventually get Seiken Densetsu 3 and Final Fantasy V English versions running

Doing the actual task isn't a pain at all. It's the crappy ROM sites that are a pain. I already had the ROMs somewhere, but couldn't be bothered to go find them.

If it comes down to it, I'll help you out Golbez.

Honestly. After spending literally weeks trying to figure out how to hack BEMANI games to make them playable on my PC (including fucking with ports and setting up virtual servers and all sorts of shite like that), this was an absolute walk in the park. A 10 minute job, most of which is a progress bar within a user friendly application. It's almost enjoyable.
Adding more ROMs is even less fuss. You just plug it into your computer, drop the ROM in the list and then press sync (which takes about 5 seconds).

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2017 1:04 pm Post subject:

The only thing i'm not looking forward to is looking for the ROMS.
