Even after haxchi is released, I'm not going to touch it for awhile... I'm afraid once I do, my Classic will become just another 'gadget' to tinker with. It's like every time I have the urge to play Skyrim, I'll reinstall it, spend 3 hours tinkering with addons, then play for 15 minutes before I quit playing.
Right now it's just turn on, play game... and even then I'm intentionally making myself only play 2-3 games at a time (1 RPG, 1-2 secondary games) so I don't get overwhelmed, play every game for 5 minutes, then lose interest cause I can't focus on a single game or goal.
It's one of the reasons I'm enjoying the Classic thread we have going, with a set goal and time limit even if I completely blew through the first one on the first day
FTFY.
This. I have an Nvidia Shield TV and have spent more time adding ROMs and tinkering than actually playing. Now with the SNES Mini I've actually just focused on playing the games!

If I recall correctly the anti-seizure-measures of the NES Mini were a filter at the system level and not edited roms (not withstanding former VC-edits). I'd imagine it's the same with the SNES Mini, so probably every game could have this. Once the NES Mini was modded you could turn the filter off for each game (or turn it on for added games).
Same here, got the controller today but need to wait for the adapter. Hopefully arrives by Friday.
Once it does, do I update the firmware through the controller or the adapter? Or both?

Got the Nyko Miniboss and Hori Fighting Commander today. Both are a POS and going back to Gamestop.
The Nyko feels cheap and wouldn't even sync with the dongle.
The Hori sync'd up no problem and actually felt a little higher quality, but the battery bump in the back (2xAA) just made holding it awkward. Also, diagonals were abysmal. Like 1 our of 5 tries I would launch a fireball in SFII Turbo.
I guess I'll keep using the extension cable for now.
PS: The Nyko lets you get back to the home screen using the controller, the Hori does not.

I tried pixel perfect, but I ended up going back to CRT since I'd rather have more things use the correct aspect ratio on average.

Got my SNES Classic today. So happy that it finally arrived.
To think I have another two coming tomorrow. Never expected all of them to get processed and shipped.

Ok. Not sure I fully understand. Does the CRT setting simply act as a filter, emphasising the horizontal dimension, or does it actually change the aspect ratio?
I am not sure. I would assume update everything. I want to put it inside the SNES Classic like some others have done earlier in the thread
CRT isn't gimmicky, it legitimately looks better for a lot of the games.

Pixel perfect here.
CRT looks like shit, it's not a filter it's just bad picture quality.

It uses the 4:3 setting, pixel perfect on SNES isn't 4:3.

Last night the tracking said Thursday, but low and behold my Walmart order showed up today.
Unboxing it now.

theres only 2 colours. Press start for the default SF2 colour.

And just like that the employee stopped you from bugging him - calling again, going into the store, etc. for almost a month!
Everything he said was most likely BS, with the NES Mini the employees never knew in advance when units would come, except in a few special cases where they were holding them for a big release or it was the day or two before.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Pretty sure all the slowdown in all games is SNES accurate

Nope. Shit is seriously messed up.Any news from amazon's shipment?
I can vouch. Slowdown was a common trend with SNES games and often a mercy.
That said I will be applying slowdown removal patches, when available.

Multiple colors only existed in Super SF2 and onwards.
From Turbo and prior it was only the Player 1 color and Player 2 color for every character.

I had two orders, one from Target and one from Amazon, just to make sure I got one (and as a backup for my friend just in case he wasn't able to get one himself, but he was able to). My Target order finally arrived today. My Amazon order still hadn't shipped, so I just cancelled it.
Played the first level of Star Fox just to unlock Star Fox 2. Never played the original Star Fox before, but I've played a lot of Star Fox 64. It seemed pretty good, though the framerate... took some getting used to.

Mega Man Soccer was legit, dude. I loved that game growing up. Always shocked at how well it played. Wonder if it still holds up - haven't played it in ages.
FWIW mine said the same thing on Saturday and was delivered today without issue.

You can't actually delete any built in games, just hide them.
I should but I don't, I just wasn't having fun with it.
I do own the Wii version and I will probably like that more...more so since Donkey Kong is in that game.
Ah damn it, guess I will just hide it then.
How many games can the SNES Mini classic hold then?
