CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Looks fine, if you're willing to pay the price. I've just had so many of these things for so long, I've lost track of how many we actually have and back in the day, they didn't cost that much. I think I paid that much for a model 2 SNES complete in the box back in 2014 on vacation. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I go through a bunch to have it look good on my HDTV and now 4k TV. I think if someon goes with emulation don't half ass it with real carts that simply dump a rom. If you want emulation go straight emulation. I think you can clean up a SNES for the most part. If it is Yellow there are ways to clean that up. I did a few years ago and posted here before the boards died. I also wrote up a article on it here. http://www.nostalgicpixel.com/?p=147 Yep, the husband has used the RetroBrite method on several devices. It's definitely time consuming, though. All this just depends on how into the hobby you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Favorite birthday present ever was when my husband bought me a SNES model 2 with Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World.

I’ve been wanting to play this for a very long time. Again thanks for steering me in the right direction. I checked in those other consoles but some reviews said they graphics were washed out or just simply not too good. Which concerned me.

It is the simplest route for you and you get hdmi out. you just need hackchi and the rom, you just follow the readme that has you boot the unit holding down reset, click to archive the device then click to update. There you’re done in like 5 mins. I second this post for anyone else having an itch to play an older game. Buy a WiiU Classic controller and you can play anything from NES to N64 (I think) as well as gameboy, PS1, sega, etc. Super simple to set up, super simple to get running. If you wanna upgrade some older stuff (like the NES RBG mod) though you can check out these guys. It ain't cheap though. https://store.retrofixes.com/collections/services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured people in these retro threads will have great recommendations. Super Metroid is frequently ranked among the best games of all time. Since you haven't heard of it, I have no idea what else you're aware of on the system. A lot of games have been made available through the VC service and have had ports on newer systems. Have you ever played A Link to the Past? Normally, I'd assume that'd be a yes, but in light of your posts, I have no idea now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you much with the sports games, I don't even play modern sports games, with the exception of zany stuff like Mario sports. Same with fighting games. I'm not even really familiar with any fighting games on the SNES, aside from the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter stuff. Tons of RPGs. Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy, Lufia, Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana, for starters. Some of those aren't super cheap, though. Other good stuff, like the Donkey Kong Country games, Super Adventure Island, Joe & Mac, Super Ghouls & Ghosts, the Kirby games, Castlevania IV, Actraiser, Batman Returns, Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, Yoshi's Island. Phew, I'll stop there for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Castlevania sounds good. As does Chrono Trigger. I had no idea that was on the SNES. I’ve only have played it on the DS.
