This is why I decided not to install the Starfox series bro. I thought you didn't like it and would rather have some other games installed instead. Let me know if you need someone to hack that Snes moe, it's no hassle for me, not to mention that a kitten dies everytime Nintendo sells a Snes mini without Turtles in Time :hammer:

haha, oh yeah the Starfox games were by no means necessary - I would have bought the Classic SNES even if you included them in the mod :)

And my recollection was correct...I am not too crazy about Starfox 2. Wasn't back then and still am not :) Starfox 1 is good, but has not aged as well as some other of the SNES games...and certainly not as well as Starfox 64.

Hehehe, I may take you up on your offer though in a little while though, hmm... :)

Rumor is...there some sort of licensing issue with TMNT...

On topic, I'll be hacking the thing once I get some of the romz.

TMNT license was Konami, then went to UbiSoft. Lately either Activision or Nickelodeon have been developing and publishing the games.

The SNES game has Konami branding on it and whoever controls it now probably doesn't want to allow a game out with someone else's name on it so it's just going to rot unless it gets hacked.
Or Konami pays another third party to let them sell their old game.

I doubt it is that. THere have been TMNT re-rerelases in the past 10 years or so.

My guess is that whatever Nintendo was paying to the publishers per title wasn't enough to cover the money that would have to go to the TMNT people.

I just hacked my unit using Hackchi v2.21d. The install was pretty straight forward, everything loaded perfectly, all the games I wanted are there and work flawlessly. The only real issue I had was getting the actual console to sync with the software. Plugging it in, holding RESET and then hitting PWR was causing it to fail to power up. I had to plug it in to USB, hit PWR, turn off the power, then do the RESET + PWR thing. Even then, the power light didn't come on the unit for a while.

This thing with stock OS/Games was a nice little package for the $$...hacked, the unit is a flat out home run. I only put some 70 games on it, uploading a bunch of shovel-ware wasn't something I was interested in.

I'm going to spend some time with the thing and see if it all took, but my random, over lunch break testing showed everything was working ok.

One last thing...the controller back-to-menu button combo. Just in case you didn't know (like is didn't), on stock settings, you have to press and HOLD down + SEL for a few seconds. Simply pressing them quickly (like you'd do on the Retron) doesn't do anything. This drove me nuts for a few min.

TMNT
Mario All-Stars
R-types
Gradius
Bomberman(s)
Chrono Trigger

Thanks to MySoberCompanion, I got the Euro SNES Mini. Even with the exorbitant shipping, the final cost is still well below scalper prices around here.

Anyway, I am going to hackchi it soon since it is missing most of my favorite games. Star Fox 2 sucks btw, not surprising why they shit can it back in the day.

R-type 3 yes

with R-type,Gradius and Star fox games would be good if there would be a overclocked snes emu for snes mini but maybe that would fuck up the music :/

with Final Fights the 1 is okay rest are bad and CPS1 games work in Snes mini so that is better way to go. Same with Bust A move. Dracula X no. Firemen no. Killer Instict and MK2 no. Sunset Riders no. Never heard of Sanrio World Smash Ball! does not look really great game but maybe it is.
I would add Magical Quest games, Smash TV and Spankys Quest.

I never understood why people like to play way inferior ports of certain games on consoles. I understand if the game is very close to the arcade version or there is something different in a good way. I remember back in the days playing Samurai Shodown 3 blades of blood on the ps1. I loved that game but only played it because I had no other choice at the time. Once I acquired the Neo Version, I never touched the ps1 version ever again.

The original MK wasn't that good on both Genny and Snes. MKII wasn't bad on the Snes but doesn't compare to the arcade version. I guess the only reason would be Nostalgia.

I agree completely, there are far better ports of those games elsewhere. This dawned on me when I played Bust a Move a few days ago, I've never played it on the SNES before. The Neo version blows it away in every way.

I have the Midway Arcade comps, as well as the Taito, Capcom, and others...much better versions to be found there, like Smash TV.

I actually liked the SNES MK back in the day. It was neutered but I felt it looks and play better than the Genesis version, which was washed out. MK2 made MK1 completely unplayable though.

Early 90's? I liked the SNES version one better as well. Many of the sound samples on the Gen version were so bad, it drove me nuts. You're dead on with MKII, once it hit the SNES, MKI was trash.

Early 90s! My 2 roomates in college, we used to play SNES (and later Neo Geo) all night. We once did 100 matches of MK1 on SNES (I think I did 7 diamonds on those bonus stages).

Had some time over the weekend so I messed about with the system.

I put on it that dual-boot feature with Hackchi. So I have the choice to switch between the NES Classic mode (it's the exact same interface as you'd get with that system), and then back to this current systems lineup.
