I think you need a BS-X .bin file because all my BS-X games play fine.

I have that .bin file... with out it, the Satellaview/BS-X town wouldn't even load, I would have just seen a blank black screen. If you have the No Intro set, try to run BS F-Zero Grand Prix - Knight League and see if it loads for you; I tried it again at lunch and the robot just sits there, mocking me.

Is an official US Super NES adapter the same as the official Famicom and Super Famicom adapter? It looks like the output's the same, but I'm not sure if the end is different or if there's some other issue that would fry the systems.

I had the same issue with F-Zero and as I said it's likely the audio crap they play alongside and BS-X support isn't 100% yet. I was able to get mario weekend to work if you want to really try a BSX game.

No I know for a fact that I played through BS-X F-Zero on my SD2SNES back during 0.1.3 or 0.1.4. I only played through the first level though and then I don't think I played past that. Certain games will start up and play until they make a call to the relevant enhancement chip, and then freeze when that doesn't work. Top Gear 3000 will play until the race starts if you don't have a good dsp4.bin.

The regular Famicom, regular Super Famicom and the US SNES all take DC10V 850mA in. But I think the physical power plug might be slightly different in size between them? Assuming you have a working power adaptor around, you could put a new plug on its end and use it, if it doesn't fit. Plug size should be the only incompatibility, if there even is any at all. Electrically they're identical.

My step-down converter for my Famicom arrived. Only now do I read online advice more closely and realize I only need it if I intend to use the original power adapter and can just use any old US adapter that matches the proper output (like my Genesis one). I feel extra stupid because I wasn't excited about buying a $30/5lb box in the first place and was thinking there had to be an easier way.  Looks like I gotta make a return...

Finished my NES pad adapter for my twin famicom, game pads work great in P1 & P2 ports My zapper will flash the screen but it won't read so I'm not sure if it's broken or if I hosed up a line on P2. Whatever, gently caress it. I mostly wanted the pads to work.

Ended up going to Best Buy and got a new stand for the tv and am pretty happy with it. Have a s-video switch on the way for my genny, sfc and soon to arrive duo-r. My AV cables for the Duo are too short so I didn't bother connecting it since it will be replaced soon anyways. I'll likely put the duo-r up top and the genesis down below so I can keep my white/black systems consistent This looks awesome. Wish I had the room for more than 1 TV. I also have never seen a 480p-only CRT. I know the DC and Wii look fantastic on it, but how does the NES or SNES? No weird pixelation stuff going on?

It's actually 480p/1050i but I leave it in 480p mode. NES/SNES look fine on it, scanlines just aren't as pronounced. Going to exchange my zapper for another as I got it to register a few times fiddling with the wire on it so I think it's at fault.

Are Intellivision games not that fun to go back and play? I know I traded my 2600 for a Gamecube just so I could have something I'd enjoy to play and wouldn't just sit on the shelf. I figured it was just a lack of nostalgia for the system though as I never played one as a kid and could not get into the games.

Huh, after some digging, I found out the problem with my XRGB3, turns out my AC Adapter is hosed and that they're prone to that. I'm glad this makes the fix relatively simple, although the AC Adapter in question is a weird one, outputting 11V and 2A. Apparently the only way to really obtain something reliable is to buy something with the right electrical output and then solder a replacement cable back in. Still cheaper than dealing with sending the whole shebang back to Japan, at least. There's a Panasonic camera with the right outputs and easily-found AC adapters, hopefully one of those will work.

I don't know how the collections play out but my Intellivision still gets some use because the Dungeons & Dragons games are really good. The controller sucks but I like the console. If you didn't play your 2600 then no, don't bother clogging your shelf.

It's internal, but if you open it up, it's a little board you can unplug and pop right out. I believe mine died as it won't turn on or show any signs of life whatsoever and that's a thing that can happen.

The Atari 8-bit computer line and the Colecovision are pretty fun to play still if you're into classic arcade titles from that era, but I don't care so much for the 2600 or Intellivision.
