I was hoping to collect a few games that are translated into english that didnt release in the USA. I know i could just download them and play them with an emulator but I really like having the physical carts. Any place I can buy them? Any recommendations for games that are good but didnt make it to USA?

I recently picked up this untested console, but I think need to clean the cartridge slot. I'm pretty sure the PPU is fine, because the audio is also messed up. Depending on how much I wiggle the game in the slot, different songs and sound effects from the game play.

Elder Millennial checking in. I need to pump my game numbers but I'm happy with what I've got so far.

Finally got this gem from my childhood and I think I have to say it’s probably my favorite cover art from what I’m assuming is the generation that is king for cover/box arts (I thought I remember hearing about just how much more important cover arts were back in the day since it was essentially the main way to market the game).

I just love how Super R-Type’s cover art drips with aura. It really embodies that feeling of you being this tiny little space ship taking on truly terrifyingly large alien creatures in the deepest depths of space.

So which SNES cover art is your favorite and why?

My coworker mentioned getting rid of an SNES and asked if I’d be interested, of course I was and still am.

Anyways, she gave me the bundle today to go and sort through so I can give her a fair price. The console has just been sitting around for quite some time, it’s a little dirty and has definitely had some love. Console seems to boot up with no issue but that’s where the problem starts. Theres 16 different games + the gameboy adapter and a few game boy games. Out of all of them, only one is playable without sound and one boots the developer title screen and then goes black. The rest show a black screen and it dims a little.

I’ve tried cleaning the contacts with 99% iso on both the system and games, entering & ejecting game 10-20, the classic blow into the bottom. Most of the games still won’t play - which sucks because I would like to play some Mario/dk, not John Madden’s football lol.

I did notice some copper oxidization in some of the games and tried to clean the best I could. I’m guessing this is probably the stem of the issue.

Basically I need to know, what’s my next step?

I’m thinking I’ll probably have to go out and grab some electronics cleaner and give that a whirl. Next up would be electronics repair shop. Before I take that next step, any suggestions?

Um pouco sobre as modificações que fiz no meu SNES jr:

Desbloqueio

Remoção da trava de região

Transcodificação para NTSC

Instalação de saída multi out

Instalação de capacitores

Troca do smd c11

Mod RGB

Luz de power

Retrobright

Estou muito feliz com o resultado e por ter conseguido fazer tudo em casa

Fighting the urge to impulse buy

****(EDIT)****

I’m an expat living in Taiwan.

Seller is asking 33,000NT (1,064USD)

Capacitors have been recapped and two original controllers.

Currently stuck on Snow Barrel Blast and can’t tell if I suck or am dealing with a bit of controller input lag using the Hyperkin Retron SNES-HDMI adapter….timing those barrel shots seems way harder than I remember as a kid.

Going for 100% completion for the first time.

Hii, I just turned 26, and I got a few dollars as a gift so I took it to my local retro shop. It wasn’t for a deal or anything, just retail, but it was in really good condition, just a few black scuffs so I carefully took a Q Tip to some isopropyl and those came right up. Label is in great condition and the battery was dead but I got it replaced so it’s now good to go for some new saves. Super excited to get absorbed into Hyrule tonight!! :)

Got into collecting in the last year and chose to focus on 4 main franchises (Zelda, Metal Gear, Metroid, 007) and 1 console. Chose the SNES since it's what I first played growing up and it is still my favorite. Previously I sold most of everything I had for the SNES except 4 titles to make room for other games growing up. Now, I've gotten this collection back up to a level my childhood self couldn't have dreamed of.

Purchases were equal parts eBay, conventions (chiefly LI Retro and its winter counterpart), local shops, and a trip to Japan.

My top 5 are: A Link to the Past (my fave game ever), Mario World, Mario RPG, Castlevania IV, and Yoshi's Island. HM: Super Metroid, never got around to finishing it.
