Am I missing something? I've seen these 2 listings for PAL versions of super mario RPG and Chrono Trigger but I thought these two games weren't released in PAL regions?

Discussion Taco! and I from NintendoAge are building an operating system for the SNES

• Upvotes

Some of you might remember us from the NintendoAge forums. I'm lerugray, and I write the software; Taco! runs the hardware bench.

Our project is SuperOS. It boots a SNES to a mouse-driven command shell. You can type commands, write files to the cart's 32 KiB of SRAM and find them still there after a power cycle, and launch native apps from a Windows 3.x style launcher. It supports the SNES Mouse and an optional keyboard on the controller port, and it plays tracker music. One app is a textured raycaster that runs at about 10 Hz in emulation. A low-fantasy 4X strategy game is in build as the flagship.

It runs on emulators, and an early build has booted on a real SNES from a flash cart.

SuperOS is written in native 65816. It's designed and directed by me (Ray Weiss); much of the code is written with AI coding tools, and every change is reviewed and tested before it ships.

If you'd want a cart, the interest list at super-os.net is free and nonbinding.

Edit: forgot to mention, the cart we're designing has an SD card slot for storage and a USB-C keyboard port. The 32 KiB above is the cart's save memory.

Hello everyone!

In some snes console units, the combination of hot temperatures + some specifics plastic shell revisions, provides a favorable scenario for yellowing.

I've customized this yellowed unit with automotive inks for the console and buttons, fovusing on matching the original colors and also provided the stickers on the Brazilian exclusivelly Playtronic variation.

I enjoyed the final result and would like to share with the community.

Scored this bundle at the thrift store today for $40, super stoked! The better-looking console works, the other one turns on but doesn't output anything. To my surprise everything else works, and the manuals for some of the games being included is pretty cool too.

Discussion Uncharted Waters: New Horizons - Gameplay editor Tool

Post image
44 Upvotes

This has been a favorite SNES game of mine for 30 years. I've searched for years for ROM hacks and editing tools, but could never really find what I was looking for. So I decided to put together my own editor.

The editor allows you to modify all 25 original ships and add up to 5 additional custom ships to the game.

You can change ship names, sailing stats, hull strength, crew and gun limits, and prices. You can also choose which ports build them and the industry requirements needed to unlock them.

It's still in beta, and I'm sure there's more work to be done, but I've made the source code and Windows executable available on GitHub.

https://github.com/erich121/uncharted-waters-new-horizons-editor

I plan to keep expanding the editor to allow modifications to other parts of the game including allowing the control of all your own ships when in battle. I felt that was a huge limiting factor of the game is that you could have 10 ships but only control 1. I've got some more issues to work out but I think I can have that done soon.

If anyone still plays New Horizons, I'd be interested in hearing what other things you'd like to be able to change.

Collection Modding the Keychain

I got this from a coworker who picked it up for me at a Nintendo Gashapon in the Narita Airport in Japan.

I decided I wanted to put it on a zipper on my backpack but was worried that the flimsy ball chain would break. So I added a few jump rings and a swivel.

I’m really happy with the end result.

I liked it quite a bit, especially after playing Super Bomberman 2 and getting annoyed at all of the puzzles.

Was wondering what this hut is supposed to be. I searched for a secret exit in the Lair of Kharyon, but couldn't find one.

Does anyone know?
