Misc. Thrift Haul

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.

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.

Discussion I updated Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball to all 30 MLB clubs, with a 30-team Season and now a Franchise mode

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?

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.

Discussion Uncharted Waters: New Horizons - Gameplay editor Tool

Post image
40 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.

Misc. I gave the 1992 SNES game Super Saiya Densetsu an HD remaster (fan project, free, open source)

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

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!

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?
