keepdreamin Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Has there been any u.s. tv with SCART connectors? Yes. A few high end sets did come with an EIA Multiport. (US name for SCART) But from what little info I can find, sounds like it supported composite only. Which is understandable. Scart doesn't necessarily mean RGB. Since the connector was designed to carry everything, there's scart cables that will do composite, svideo, and RGB. One of those signals or maybe even all. This is true even for Europe.

+thanatos Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Back on-topic for a moment, I managed to get a pre-order from Amazon France. It is marked as shipped and my card has been charged. It won't be the US looking one, but the Super Famicom one looks cool too. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/264614-super-nintendo-classic-edition-snes-mini-thread/page/16/#findComment-3860855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hey it all works the same plus it's more sleek and colorful so it's really an all around win there unless you're nostalgically bound to the original molding.

Sylish like an old Cadillac, with carts that you can actually read the titles in a stack. And purple (my favorite color) have a long history with Nintendo. GBC, GBA, and Game Cube all launched in purple. What's funny is the SMRPG have the wrong colors on the action buttons unless they ripped the Japanese colors...

Kismet Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 My TV has a Cable Card slot, but I've never been able to find one that works to use it. Are those even supported anymore? I've never seen a TV with a cablecard slot, and no cableco in Canada supports them (no in-the-clear digital channels either), my guess is that US market TV's that were DTV ready had them, and all other markets didn't. Also keep in mind that CRT's are calibrated for the magnetic fields that they are shipped to, so if you take your CRT to the other side of the continent you end up with different magnetic distortions in the screen. Like, I do not miss CRT's one bit. If it wasn't for the utterly poor quality game input on HD and UHD screens, I'd almost say there's a market for a legitimate "gaming" screen, which is so far filled with TN monitors with poor color gamuts. Veering back on target, I asked the local BestBuy how many SNES Mini's they had, and they said about 80, and they were gone before noon. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/264614-super-nintendo-classic-edition-snes-mini-thread/page/16/#findComment-3861319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Cable cards are neat, but cable companies don't advertise them -- seems like they'd prefer monthly income from renting their boxes. They SHOULD have become a stronger standard, but you know, business. I have a pair of cable cards for my Tivo boxes, which I rent from Verizon for about $3.99 a month for each one. It was enough of a pain in the ass to get them to support them that I don't envision changing my equipment or subscription anytime soon.

Tanooki Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think that's what you were looking for there. Seriously though damn and wow. NAND dump decrypted and works in that format within a week of the things release. I'm impressed. But let's take another angle with this. Would they could they and probably should they convert that emulator to some other formats if at all possible. I'd like to see what really could be thrown at it and see what sticks. I look at this as I did back in the 90s at a research/academic view point when SNES emulation was an infant and kept growing adding modes, eventually audio, and so on. This could be fun.

Hydro Thunder Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Silly uninformed question that feels stupid to have to ask but what the hey... The USB power for the SNES Classic mini is like, zero feet long (okay it's about three feet), and I could use more due to the placement (especially with those unbelievably short controller cords, which I'll be getting an extension for). Is it ok for me to use a USB extension on this, or would that dilute the power to the system enough to cause trouble? Or perhaps I just need to buy a generic, longer mini-USB to standard USB cord for this?

icemanxp300 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Is it ok for me to use a USB extension on this, or would that dilute the power to the system enough to cause trouble? If you do that it will run too much current through the psionic coupler and cause the flux capacitor to overheat. Better not do that. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/264614-super-nintendo-classic-edition-snes-mini-thread/page/16/#findComment-3863048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get an extension cord for the wall outlet if you're concerned, but in all seriousness, USB extension cords depends on the gauge of the wire used, not the length, because thinner wires run hotter. So if you're worried, make sure the USB extension cord is thick, and not one of those zippy-ribbon kind. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/264614-super-nintendo-classic-edition-snes-mini-thread/page/16/#findComment-3863055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDD1 isn't looking good unless something is being missed in settings or emulator command lines. Mega Man X2 and X3 (C4) that does work. DSP2-4 (which run 1 game only, don't work.) SA1 is being worked on, appears that it may be 100% or only most/some functions done as a few games aren't working so far, but because of a unique header/footer format the SNES roms use on the little system it could be just not understanding how they work yet entirely too as could be said for any chip. Ok scratch that, fresh host post on that reddit -- https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNES/comments/74z4oo/street_fighter_alpha_2_running_on_canoe/ SFA2 works, person explaining it as of yet but gave proof.
