What does the Classic Demo option do? And anyone know how does the burn-in reduction feature work, and if it has any effect on image quality? Is there a benefit to keep it on for an LCD display?

I checked my lottery ticket today and I'll be able to buy a super famicom tomorrow at Joshin! Got lucky this time. 
Going to have my girl pick it up for me tomorrow. Can't wait to play all the great classics during the weekend.

I see why they have a rewind function for complete shit gamers like myself that die all the time on every level against everything in games like Super Mario World, Super Metroid etc.
I suck at these games.
I would be mad af if they sent my box in an envelope. Mine was shipped in a box inside it was fixed in place so it couldnt rattle around. Shouldnt Amazon know what the fuck they are doing?

Holy fuck, my friend received my SNES Classic in the mail from Amazon.ca .
They. Fucking. Shipped. It. In. An. ENVELOPPE!!!!!
Corner of the box is crushed, and so am I.
Now I'm either returning it hoping that a restock comes soon or just...deal with it.
Amazon really sucks.

Humans over 6 feet need not apply. Large being their biggest size, and most items being sold out,
I like a few of the pieces but if worn unironically, it sort of reminds me of that "(not so) subtle gamer clothing" thread.
They triple charged me. I ordered 1 unit on August 22.
Is that a Citibank card? I've been charged multiple times for thing in Pending status that end up working themselves out by the time it actually posts

dude that is unacceptable. I'm surprised Amazon would do this. They usually have stellar customer service.

Yes. It's Citibank.

Somebody packed it, looked at it in the envelope, and said "this is fine".

I really wish they had put in a hot key on the controller to trigger the rewind feature so I wouldn't have to keep hitting the reset button on the console. It was my one big gripe with the NES mini as well.

Yes exactly, wish I had that yesterday when playing Metroid...

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Nope. I theorize this may be a method to try and have an issue with my CC provider so they can cancel.
In some ways it does help discourage constant usage of it. I remember when I discovered rewind in ZSNES - I abused it a lot because it was a simply button press away.
Yeah, fuck it, I'm returning it, this is indeed unacceptable.

Yeah I'm in Canada too and thought it was weird it came like that.
No damage on mine though, thankfully.

Had this happen with another item before, called customer service they refunded me and told me to keep the item. Was a $60 item. Worst case you get a credit of some sort. Call them. Explain the packaging was important as the item is collectable.
Welp, didn't last long. :lol

Would have been useful...
In the future, if you can't wait, you can upgrade a surepost order to be fulfilled by UPS for 3.50 USD. According to them it will usually only arrive a day earlier though.

Good news.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Has anyone posted any videos to youtube or whatever showing the CRT filter on various games? The DF review didn't show it much. My unit is out for delivery but it's gonna be a long day at work and I want to see some stuff.

Halfway through making it I started expected it too but meh, whatever.

I thought it made things blurry as fuck. Which sucks 'cause I want my scanlines. Wish there was just an option for the scanlines, but not whatever other filter is going on.

Made a custom frame. Haha. It's very easy to do.
crt filter should be the default tbh. non filtered these games dont look anywhere near what my memory told me. Way to crisp and hard edged.

Now copy the options.txt files and the mask.png file from the ambient folder into your folder, see if the colour change works on it.

I don't know, I only tested SMW on my 24" PC monitor, and crt filter looked the worse option to me.
I can see it working better for certain games and/or from a farther viewing distance.
Quick question:
Soon I'll be living 4 months away from home without my media setup. I'll be bringing my computer screen which doesn't have any sound output or input channel and connect it via VGA -> HDMI adapter to my consoles. For sound I'll just use headphones.
Now, how will I be able to get sound in whatever way from the SNES Mini? Any ideas for an easy solution?

It's really pretty bad. Losing a third of the screen is an enormous blow. It really messes with the visual language of the game when you can't see the thing you're supposed to interact with overhead or the platform you need to jump down to. That alone is enough to make it painful to play for me.Doesn't sound like that big of a deal tbh. I'll brush off people hating on the GBA version as elitism

Do share, I've definitely got a few ideas to work on.
Really depends on the game.
Mario RPG and FF3 look better with CRT but Zelda and Metroid look fucking incredible without it.

If you already have hakchi installed, it's easy. Copy the backgrounds folder from /usr/share/ to /var/lib/hakchi/rootfs/usr/share/ and then add a line to one of the files p in the /var/lib/etc/preinit.p folder that says
overmount /usr/share/backgrounds/
After that you can make a copy of one of the background folders and modify the files inside to make your custom frame. You don't have to modify an existing frame, it will automatically add new ones you make to the menu!
Saving this for once I get everything setup. I can't imagine a huge limit on the amount of frames, considering they are 1280x720, iirc. Would love a custom frame for each game/series, but we'll see. Thanks for the info.
I think that shows who has been used to playing on emulators all these years and who hasn't. I really dig the clean, unfiltered look of the 4:3 mode... and, to be honest, I'm really used to a pixel perfect image, so that looks great to me.
The CRT filter looks gorgeous, but I notice it's a filter. I know there's something "fake" between the raw image and the image that I'm seeing, if that makes any sense.

Within a few days I'm sure there will be a nice frontend for making frames built into hakchi2. It's a bit tedious now, because there's a separate frame for 4:3 and pixel perfect, separate smaller versions for the display preview, and a thumbnail.

Seriously, that thread looked so much better than this one.
Close this thread and make that thread the OT.
