I have no doubt that I'll get my monitor to display the game and it'll be playable, but if the ranges are mismatched you end up with full black and full white both being displayed as shades of grey with everything in between looking really washed out. I'll probably end up just picking up a small garbage grade TV to play this on so I can play it sitting on the floor next to a precariously balanced beverage and a bunch of my old Nintendo Power magazines.

HDMI RGB ranges are definitely a real thing so I dunno what to tell you guys, but if it looks fine maybe it autodetects or something. I don't have my SNES yet, that's why I was asking about it.

You know I may not play this this thing every single day or even every single week but it feels so good to be able to have a little, cool, dedicated machine with controllers that feel pretty much how they used to, available at any time for some wholesome rear end Super Nintendo gamin Just a night or two ago I smoked a blunt and started playing FF5 again (with the GBA script patch) and god drat, I definitely still like it more than 6 even after all these years

My question was whether or not it could switch modes and people are just telling me that the video signal somehow doesn't matter because the games are SNES games, which makes no sense.https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNES/comments/7379t5/psa_the_snes_mini_seems_to_output_only_limited/ https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/issues/724 Cojawfee posted:The SNES only displayed like 256 colors, I doubt you need the full HDMI range.

Anyone have any tips for getting Rush’N Attack/Green Beret to run on the SNES Classic and, if so, what revisions should I be tracking down? Can’t seem to get Mame2003 or FBA cores to play right (either way too fast or not well at all, never inbetween). I would say the same thing about Gyruss Arcade, but I KNOW I’ve exhausted every avenue on that because I have the legit cab right next and it would throw shade the entire time.

So I recently got a new PC; and I, in ignorance, forgot to save my SNES Classic backup. Are the kernel backups unique to each SNES? Or can I use anyone's?

For anyone still looking and up this late, Rakuten has the European model for $85 and free shipping with coupon code SAVE15 https://www.rakuten.com/shop/altata...vbH0OOFNgZVKm0g Might be worth it for the European model and the 6' controller cable extension included.

Stan Taylor posted:What does this mean? I seriously want to know, I like learning about weird tech stuff. Is there a blog post explaining this? This explains it: https://referencehometheater.com/2014/commentary/rgb-full-vs-limited/ Limited isn't necessarily worse than full, but the ranges need to be matched between the video source and the display. When using an SNES Classic on a monitor, contrast is greatly reduced and nothing can be displayed as completely black or completely white. It makes sense for the SNES to default to limited, but it sucks that there's no way to change it. If you do it the other way around and have a game console output full range to a TV that's expecting a limited signal, details in light or dark areas will be lost and blown out to pure white or pure black. This has been a pain in the rear end issue with everything involving HDMI ever since stuff started having HDMI ports.

Stan Taylor posted:What does this mean? I seriously want to know, I like learning about weird tech stuff. Is there a blog post explaining this? NTSC in North America is a bit weird in that stuff is calibrated so that there's wiggle room both at the upper and lower bounds of luminance. In other words, there are "blacker than blacks" and "whiter than whites". Now on a normally-calibrated TV this means that you won't be able to differentiate black (luminance of 16) from blacker-than-black (luminances from 0-15) and white (235) from whiter-than-white (236-255). Now the gotcha is that monitors, newer TV's, plus I believe Japanese NTSC which uses the full range, actually have 0 as the "darkest" and 255 as the "lightest". What this means is that what should be black will instead be a very very dark grey, and what should be white will be a very very light grey, and other colors will be off a tiny bit as well. I mean, the games will still be playable, and largely be fine, but the colors won't be 100% accurate if you're not using it on a North American TV. I wonder if the Japanese Super Famicom does the same thing, now, given NTSC-J working differently as I mentioned.

Wii CC: Works with wiimote, classic systems, and Mayflash adapter NES CC: Works with wiimote, classic systems, and Mayflash adapter SNES CC: Works with wiimote and classic systems, does not work with Mayflash adapter. Works with Raphnet adapter. gently caress if I know, until I ran into the problem I thought they were all functionally the same controller in different casings.

Classic games can be extra-weird, too, since they'll do dithering as a way of faking transparency because, since everyone is connecting their consoles with either an RF switch or, if they're really fancy, composite, it'll blend it together.   (Note how the game's title was designed to have a gradual color shift effect)
