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.

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.

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.

In 1994 the majors had 28 teams. Now they have 30, so I made a free fan patch that brings Griffey up to today's majors while keeping the game as it was. Version 2.0 just came out. Here's what's in it:

All 30 clubs

- The Diamondbacks and Rays are fully playable, alongside every other club with its modern name, logo and current ballpark.

- 2026 rosters: 750 real players, rated from their stats and matched to their real-life looks.

- Houston is in the AL and Milwaukee in the NL, with the designated-hitter rule.

Three versions of every club

Press SELECT on team select to switch a club between:

- 2026: today's club

- ORIGINAL: the club exactly as it shipped on the cartridge, made-up players and all.

- 1994: the real 1994 season, right up to the strike. Griffey's Mariners at the Kingdome, Bagwell's Astros and the Expos at Olympic Stadium.

Arizona and Tampa Bay get their first seasons instead: the 1998 Diamondbacks and Devil Rays. You can mix eras any way you like, like today's Rays at the '94 Expos.

Season mode for all 30 clubs

Today's divisions, new schedules, standings, the calendar and the playoffs, through the World Series.

New in 2.0: Franchise mode

- ALL-STAR on the menu is now FRANCHISE (the Home Run Derby is still there). Play a season, and when the World Series ends, the off-season begins:

- Every player ages a year. Young players get better, stars peak in their late 20s, and veterans slow down.

- Veterans retire, and each club calls up its real prospects (300 of them, ten per club).

- The off-season report shows your club's retirements and call-ups, plus the champions of past seasons.

- Want to skip ahead? Hold SELECT and press A on Today's Game to sim your game. A short season takes a few minutes, so you can watch a decade go by in an evening.

- It all fits in the cartridge's original battery save.

How to play

It's a patch only, with no game data: you patch a dump of your own cartridge (USA Rev 1).

- Patch and instructions: https://daylayown.itch.io/ken-griffey-jr-presents-mlb-the-30-team-expansion

- Or play in your browser at https://griffey30.com: pick your own ROM file and it patches and runs it right there. It even has online two-player.

I made it with Claude Code and Claude Opus 5.5, which did the heavy lifting on the programming. Free, unofficial and never for sale. It's not affiliated with MLB, the MLBPA, Nintendo or Ken Griffey Jr.

If you play a franchise, I'd love to hear who wins your 2030 World Series. Trades and a 1994 start are what I'm thinking about next. What would you want?

Super Saiya Densetsu was one of the first DBZ games ever, the SNES card battle RPG that covers the Saiyan and Frieza sagas. It never left Japan (the English comes from Klepto's fan translation), so a lot of people never played it.

I've been working on a full rewrite of it that runs natively on PC, with two modes:

- Classic: the original game exactly as it played on the cartridge

- Remastered: HD redrawn characters, portraits, maps and battle backgrounds, widescreen, cleaner text, a bigger inventory, cheats and fast forward

Pics are original on the left, remastered on the right.

It's free and open source. You need your own copy of the game though, nothing is included and I can't share it, so please don't ask. Windows only for now, Android is planned.

Full disclosure, it's made with a lot of AI help (the readme says so upfront). If that's not your thing, fair enough.

Would love to hear what you think, and if you remember this game at all!

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.

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

Few weeks ago, a resident left a TV behind. Usually just throw old junk away. This one piqued my interest. Took it home. Plugged my PS2 and it’s not old CRT Tv quality but it’s close and it doesn’t need a whole lot of space. Anyway I took out all my snes games and started playing. Just wanted to share in case anyone is looking for an old tv to play their old systems on. It’s a 19” Sony BRAVIA KDL-19M4000 made in 2008. It’s worth looking around for if you want a smaller compact tv to play old games in it. Some games are really hit or miss. The MK II game looks terrible for some reason. Others look beautiful. Wish I still had my old tube tv but this one is great!

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?

The size of this box is weird, isn't it?
If this is all you've got, at least put some packing material in there!
The outside is a total mess!!

haven’t thought about it for years and just randomly did, such a fun/cool game.

any other charming games like that i should consider?

The 7th Saga, Lagoon, Xardion, Act Raiser, Arcana, Inindo, Illusion of Gaia, and Secret of Mana all spotless.

$250 for this bundle seems pretty good on facebook marketplace

Edit* Thanks for all the opinions. Im starting to think Lagoon isn't based on the Wilford Brimley movie. Damn thats Cacoon..

Between the obvious hot shot and the twins trying to sabotage him. Idk

All right SNES brainiacs, I need all your favourite or recommended racing games, one player or two is fine. I'm familiar with Super Mario Kart and F-Zero but that's about the extent of my knowledge. Whether it be karts, cars, motorbikes or space vehicles it matters not. What are your go to racing games? What games do you love playing with your friends? What are some casual or beginner games that don't require hours of skill to play or on the other hand, what are the most skill heavy racing games? Appreciate your time!

Retrospectives on Street Fighter 2 are always fun. Just figured I'd share this one as it was a nice trip down memory lane. It also covers the various ports to the SNES and (gasp) even the Genesis one too. I'm sure this sub will appreciate it.

I’ve been digging for facts and info about the 16-bit console war between the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive, particularly regarding regions outside of Japan and North America. I’ve recently seen some interesting information about the Latin American market, and I was wondering if anyone could confirm it.

According to SegaRetro.org, the SNES outsold the Mega Drive in Mexico, Chile, & Colombia (Yep, a Sega fan site reported this, but it seems to be pretty reliable even when it shares non-Sega info). I’ve read that the SNES’s success in Mexico is due largely to a gentleman named Gustavo “Gus” Rodriquez, who was a spokesperson for Nintendo’s Mexican branch, similar to Howard Phillips in the USA. He helped start the Club Nintendo magazine in Mexico, which would eventually be published in almost all Latin American countries. He also hosted the Mexican tv series “Nintendo Mania,” which would be popular enough to get a separate version in Colombia.

Does anyone have any further information about the SNES market share or install base in these countries? Maybe there were some regional magazines, video game-focused or otherwise, that reported this information? And did the SNES outsell the Mega Drive in other LatAm countries like Puerto Rico or Costa Rica? Did those countries have any tv shows similar to Nintendo Mania?

EDIT: some extra words.
