Spill-over comments of the same game will not be counted.

What this means is if you want to nominate a game and see someone else has already nominated it, reply to their comment so that it counts! All upvotes in that comment thread, including the ones you get, will be counted towards the tally.

Thank you!

I actually already owned a copy of this game that I kept since I was a kid. Helped a guy I work with move his dad into a new house and as payment apart from the beer and the pizza he handed me a box of games and this one was among them. I tried to tell them that this was actually something they could make money on and they said they already knew that, but just wanted it to go to a new home, and thanked me for the help. I still can't believe it.

Hey, maybe someone can help me.

I have 2 sfc boards here

One has a garbled background layer in some games.

The second one is just more yellow???

Both use the same set of cables and the same game.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the background back to normal or to fix the color?

The installation is a bit questionable from a physical standpoint, since the Edge Sharpener Revision C slightly overlaps with the other board underneath. However, the two PCBs do not interfere with each other in any problematic way.

The difference in image quality is definitely noticeable, so the Edge Sharpener actually does what it is supposed to do, while everything else continues to function as expected.

Region switching between 50Hz and 60Hz works properly, the console now has a clean C-Sync signal, and all the other nice little features of the AIO mod are working as well.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the result. The setup is still in the testing phase, but so far everything appears to be working exactly as intended.

i have 94 on the save select screen and i’ve been looking for these last two for hours i feel like a crazy person at this point

I'll just share this post from someone whose more experienced on this subject who goes by the name of @dsmania

"Explanation of what's going on here and why there's no speed up in the Japanese revision. The USA version is in 448i, in which the "i" represents it's interlaced, meanwhile the Japanese version is 224p. An interlaced video format is that in which in even frames you paint even lines, and in odd frames you paint odd lines. For this reason, in computational terms, in both cases in every frame only 224 lines are painted. Interlaced allows higher resolutions, yes, but also introduces a visual artifact which consists in a blinder effect when the image has changes: if you pause the image when they accelerate on a slope, or if you focus on the changing numbers of the time count, dark lines can be seen alternating with the expected image, these are the ones from the previous frame that are unchanged. For this reason also the texts in the American version are thicker: they had to duplicate the thickness so the artifact is less noticeable. In CRTs this effect was not a big issue because the image had a slower decay than in modern displays, producing a ghosting that made the blinder effect less noticeable.

CRTs also have an extra effect and is that they blur the image because the pixels are not just dots/squares (well, neither are in modern displays, but much less noticeable) and because how the light diffuses. This blur eases the pixellation and thus a higher resolution is not that of a big gain as would be nowadays. What about the horizontal resolution? In the American version it's double indeed, that means double the video memory, but not strictly much more computation is required (this is debatable but in general but there are no visual effects, just scrolling the terrain map, which is cheap), so using 224p would not save enough resources that would help accelerate the Japanese version. Also is worth noting that the vehicles in the US version seem at lower resolution compared to the terrain (they are the same in both versions) and this is because their pixels are duplicated horizontally, making them low res. On the other hand, since they had double the video memory, they had the chance to add textures for bushes and rocks. In my opinion, when playing this on a CRT, the interlacing is not noticeable but higher resolution is not a big gain either, meanwhile the rocks and bushes give a better finishing, and that might be the reason they changed this in the revision."

Me gusta mucho la serie de Megaman X, de joven pasé cada juego exprimiendo cada pixel al máximo, me imponia auto retos como el pasarlos solo con buster, sin armadura o creando password extraños, hoy en dia estoy muy oxidado y con poco tiempo para hacer esas hazañas pero los sigo jugando de vez en cuando. Mi favorito es el X3.

Earlier today I popped my Japanese copy of Mystic Quest into my Super Famicom and found all my saves gone.

Didn't think much of it at the time. Sometimes all the planets align themselves in the right way and my saves vanish. I start a new game and save. As a test after saving I switch off the Super Famicom and swap Mystic Quest for Final Fantasy VI. Once I'm at the game saves, I turn off the Super Famicom and swap back. My saves are still there. Okay. Just had bad luck.

Several hours later I start the system again and my saves are wiped again! I open the game up expecting a bad battery and I see this. The battery looks fine. I guess? But one of the capacitors leaked or exploded? The gunk is everywhere.

First time something like this has happened. Any suggestions?

I’ve never met anyone else who has ever played this game. Is this a hidden gem or a well known secret?

I absolutely loved this game and think it is one of the best SNES games not made by Nintendo.

So I happened to notice Giltesa having USB-C mods for SNES, but the site states that it works with standard, non PD power supply, supplying 5V.

But isn't the SNES a 9V system?

Anyone got any experience on these USB-C mods?

Very limited information, sorry in advance

Top down dungeon type environment where you collect colored keys (red, blue, green (?)) to open doors that matched that same color. I remember something about a wizard, no idea in what capacity.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I'm sorry guys. I'm trying hard researching myself and you all have given great answers. I'm afraid none of them have been it. I'm almost wondering if the game existed outside my head. I know if I saw just one picture it would hit. FWIW, I've been through all kinds of lists including this video and picture list. the 2nd link is actually really cool if you're looking for a specific game
