Differed to treasure trucks, sorry
My Amazon UK shipment is arriving today while my Amazon US order is still trapped in order purgatory. Should have just stuck with Best Buy for the US model. Ended up canceling it figuring Amazon US would come through but they dropped the ball with the treasure truck baloney.

This Amazon fiasco may be the final straw to make me cancel my Prime.

Do it. They've become everything they used to be different from. A company more interested in just being big than actually being good anymore.

Have you tried with the 60hz patch? Maybe this emulator can't handle PAL games?Yeeeah about that..
I can't get Terranigma working right now.

Does it require NTSC ROMs? I wonder if Tenchi Sozo would work in its place.
No, but there's an NTSC patch for the PAL version
Games I plan to add:
-Chrono Trigger (patched with DS translation if it exists)
-Turtles in Time
-Super Mario All-Stars (with brick fix)
-Legend of the Mystical Ninja (and its sequels, if fan translations exist)
-DKC 2
-Terranigma
-Treasure of the Rudras
-Final Fight (havent decided which yet)
-Megaman and Bass (the only MM game I havent finished)
-Seiken Densetsu 3
-Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (not sure if these are better/worse than the NES originals, but until I get an NES Mini...)
And for those interested, I made a thread for games that never left Japan: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1441427

Ah, thank god!
edit: They also have a Super Probotector NTSC-patch. Excellent.

I of course applied the NTSC patch, but the SNES Mini doesn't seem to want to output any audio. Trying a few things now, because Terranigma is course a must have.
(Guys, I made this thread where the second patch listed is Terranigma NTSC)
Also that 8x16 patch sadly messes up the Yomi menu room, I couldn't stand that.

I tried doing this and if I use both hacks it goes to shit. Some thing when trying to apply the PAL edition hack to Mario RPG and a translation. I must be doing something wrong.

Wait, the mod isnt out yet is it? Or did you go the physical modding method?
Robin64

How difficult was it? What tools were needed?
Ill very likely wait for the software method but Im just curious.

You need the current version of hakchi2, an FTP client, a hex editor, the latest version of Python, and Notepad++. It's pretty daunting, but not hard if you go slow. However, people have soft-bricked, and I've made mistakes that have given me small heart attacks too, so definitely wait for the tool. I'm just.. impatient, and I like to tinker.
Oh man, I like a lot of what that game is pitching.
Like Star Fox 2, Im going to enjoy that as a lost SNES game.

Even more weirdness, Tenchi Souzou displays the Enix logo, fades to black, and then.. stays there. Definitely something a little odd with this game.
The native PAL version lets me input my name, the first chapter name appears, then fades to black and stays black. Also it has no audio.
With the NTSC patch applied, it's playable, but still has no audio.

Dpad is loose for me but pretty accurate. I have done some brief testing with Contra 3 which is one of THE games to expose shitty input. It is better than any 8bitdo product I have used. Not super tight and accurate like pre-switch Nintendo OEM stuff or the included wired pads.
The buttons feel as good as OEM to me, and the layout is basically just giving you the option of buttons for triggers with the triggers still functioning. Great for street fighter.
I grabbed a pair on the box artwork alone and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Then again Hori has been making officially licenced Nintendo products for a long time so it should be no surprise.
Such nice box art. matches perfectly with the console.

Got my one from Amazon UK today, but it's not the one I wanted. Only grabbed it because I wasn't sure I could get a US preorder. Amazon US is fucking up. How have they not shipped any yet? The fuck? Give me my shit boi

Yep, same as mine. My order was placed on 8/22. Fuckkkkkkkk this shit

Oh awesome! Just got a backorder notification email from Walmart from my 8/22 order (Walmart.com anticipated delivery date of tomorrow).
"If we can't ship the items by 11/30, we'll cancel the items, begin processing your refund and let you know by email."
I'm hoping that's just a form letter because fuck!

Any hacking news on whether anti-epilepsy measures can be patched out? Any news on whether the YI touch fuzzy glitch can be fixed?
Hmm I still haven't gotten the email. What does the website say for your order. Mine is still preparing.

Ordered on 8/22, still says preparing for me.

As bad as the pre-order issues are with Amazon et all, I had a just a bad experience with the site Very...I was under the impression from late june-to September that my pre-order would be successfully processed through, even though at the time it was stated in my account sorry no stock available, which I interpreted as meaning they don't have any physical stock yet....
I asked their support representatives TWICE to see if my order would still get processed through, what was the status of it, they assured me that yes I would be receiving the console late-September, I would even get emails from their customer service manager saying my "order is on track"....and "any changes we'll let you know immediately"...
Come the 29th of September and asking where my pre-order was they said sorry as there is no stock you won't be receiving one from us and no money has been taken towards it...
Ultimately I ended up buying the mini from e-bay...but not for a stupid price, saying that it was a bit more than it's original retail price....but it WAS NOT a route I wanted to go through....

It will likely be the use of SNES9x instead of the internal emulator which fixes the fuzzy glitch UNLESS it is actually tied to the epilepsy filter.
I don't think it was specifically mentioned by Cluster, but based on the previous version of hakchi, I am pretty confident we can rid the stupid epilepsy thing from the console.
Here's to hoping we can ditch babysitter filter and that by some miracle it fixes SMW2 fuzzy glitch.
I wonder if that email goes out a day before your order is supposed to arrive but it hasn't shipped. I haven't gotten any emails about a backorder, I've only been told about the backorder from CS reps, but my delivery date is the 5th. Wonder if I'll get that email tomorrow.

I'm comfy with hex editing and notepad++ / regex, but I'm kind of a noob scripter with Python.
Waiting for a hakchi2 software update myself, I've got 8 other things to tinker with in my spare time as it is. I've been tinkering with a retropie setup for weeks, I'll burn the time on that and wait for the guys to do their good work in the mean time.

Pretty bad if they allowed that past QA
Also once it's easily hackable I'm gonna test some of the games byuu mentioned with flaws on emulators other than bsnes/higan, like Speedy Gonzales and that helicopter game with a missing shadow.

Nothing new from Amazon US on my end.
What's my best option here to ask for any compensation or update?

Yeah. If anything, the effect on the SNES mini is harsher than the original. Once mine shows up, I'm gonna dump the ROM out and run it through BSNES to double check. I know that renders it a lot closer.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
11/30 is a lot better than "next week", at least. There's at least a decent chance they will restock and fulfill preorders by then.
