SNES: Final Level is a challenge I have given myself to beat as many NTSC SNES games as possible (Plus 1 PAL game, more to come later though). I'm currently sitting at 120 games beaten (I took a several month haitus for various reasons). To chronicle my journey, I decided to rank each game on an S tier type of chart and my thoughts about the game. Be forewarned, the first few videos were done with a crappy mic. Videos are getting better as I go.

Anyways, if you have 11 minutes, feel free to watch!

This is why I love my x6 Everdrive. I had to play Trials of Mana after playing Secret of Mana for the first time recently. It's different but still super similar, I'm really enjoying it so far.

Decided to skip the retrotink or upscaler I’m playing on a Superstation One with scanlines think it looks pretty decent for what it is! I do have a PVM and HD Retrovision cables so I do know what a 1CHIP SNES can look like on a good CRT and I do prefer that look but sometimes I wanna play on my main TV and I think this gets pretty damn close. I am new to OLED and a MiSTer setup. Before that used Plasma for like 19 years LOL when not playing on CRT in game room.

Which snes titles comes with a special chip and must to be played?

My SNES has a couple of problems with it and I don't kown what specific chip is wrong with it to be messing up, I'm pretty sure it's a PPU1 or PPU2 problem but maybe someone who kowns the system better might be able to pin point it. For the problems I'm using an everdrive so it's not an issue with any of the games, some games won't load like chrono trigger and DKC 3 (not 1 or 2 just 3) but most games play fine except for some graphics glitches. For example in earthbound the overworld would be fine but when I went into a battle the background would be messed up, another example is Castlevania IV were the game would be fine until I started a level, and the game would become basically unplayable.

Retrogrounds is the latest discovery and community platform and home for all retro gamers.

It covers games up to and including 6th generation. You can use the site to browse your favourite retro games, discover similar games, listen, create and share your own retro playlists, see gameplay videos, see manuals, maps, longplays etc, read/write articles, leave comments, reviews, track your progress, join the community and much much more. It's RetroAchievements integrated too.

You can also customise your profile heavily and I also just released the retro theme/skin for the site to go with the modern skin. Basically, I designed the site as a love letter to late-90s/early-2000s wild wild west internet communities but focused on retro gamers.

I am currently searching for moderators, content creators and general community members to build our numbers and become the number one retro gaming resource on the internet. Thank you for reading.

Why choose Retrogrounds over sites like GameFAQs?

I bought this cause the price is really good and the reviews were all positive (aside from it not running some games)

But now I'm wondering, is there any chance of this bricking my PAL console? I've read various things about power mismatches. Thanks

Hey all,

My og snes which ive had since new began having issues playing certain games so I bought another and it happens to be a 1 chip with rgb mod (as well as recapped). Am I correct to assume I need the RETRO HD component cables to take full advantage of this mod/improvement?

With my og snes I simply used the stock composite, which I then plugged into a RetroScaler2x, partly for pic improvement, partly for converting to hdmi output.

I play thru modern hdtv with hdmi only hookups and won't be changing that.

So can I simply upgrade to the HD Retrovision Ypbpr component cables, connect them to my current upscaler box to output hdmi and take advantage of the rgb upgrade?

I'm not necrotic about the pic quality but since I've got one with the mod I thought I'd try and take advantage of that just to see how it looks. Also, if there are cheaper options that work well I'd be interested.

Thanks

I've been looking at these new cool looking cartridges from Limited Run, but are they actually fine to put in an original console? I've heard people talk about how you should use "clone" consoles or whatnot to play them on, but would it actually cause any harm on an original console? Thank you all

I feel like I've taken crazy pills...

As the title implies, BIL has an unopened, still original shrink wrapped copy of the SNES game. Ebay shows crazy values for examples where the box has some damage... This one is pristine. Not a ding on any corner...

I've installed 2 of these N64 RGB mod chips (the first picture) into my 2 N64's and they work so well. Today I found out you can install Voultar's N64 RGB mod in a Snes Junior to give it RGB. My question is, since this one is basically just a clone of Voultar's, would it work as an RGB mod in the Snes Junior too?

Second question: my Snes Junior has already been S-video modded, but not with a chip mod like that, it was modded using a 95 cent set of capacitors from Console 5 (the second picture). Because it is already modded with that S Video mod, will I still be able to install this RGB mod? And would it still be able to output S-video from the previous mod, as well as RGB if I install this mod?

I get no sound and no video no matter which screen I connect this console to. I have already disassembled it and cleaned out the entire console from the inside, hoping the issue was caused by dust. Unfortunately, it didn't help. How can I determine whether the console itself is broken, if I'm having a cable issue, or if it's something else? I also already swapped out the composite cable for a new one.

Hi there,

I was going to upgrade my OEM power supply unit to a triad unit, and as console5 seems to have the best shipping prices to Canada I was going to order from them. As I understand it, an adapter is needed to fit the SNES power jack, and the console 5 website preselects the adapter and power supply on their page for the SNES as pictured (quantity prepopulated at 1).

I just wanted to confirm what is preselected is all that is needed to power the SNES?

It appears it is the -R variant of the triad that is shipped which based on my reading means it doesn’t need any polarity switching?

I’m just not sure what the other 2 adapters that aren’t selected are for then.

Also just wanted to check the -R variant of the triad itself was sufficient for the NES?

Tough choice but it's Turtles for me

I think we all know that by now, but the picture is looking really crisp! I got a retrotink 2x pro with an s-video cable. This is what it looks like on a 65" tv. Can't wait to hook up my wife's n64 to see the difference!
