Super Nintendo collecting thread.

I did collect a bit for the snes mainly PAL boxed complete stuff.Must have had about 80-90 titles at one point.Just gets to damn expensive though and half the time the games turn up all bashed in

Have gotten rid of the majoity now and the only games i will be keeping are the Boxed Star wars trilogy,Super Punchout,And Mario all stars/World.Also have my wildcard with a couple of hundred floppies considering parting company with that to though.

Got shot of console (Emulation all the way).Did keep back my Mint copies of:

Mr DO! and Choplifter 3 though, as they cost me a pretty penny.

I tried emulation, it is ok but not great. On a PC is is decent, can be setup nicely even with a high res monitor. On the Xbox it was awful. The higher resolution of the machine gave you far too much interlacing flicker on my CRT. That is fine for Xbox, GC, PS2 etc but not for 16 bit 2d. I am sure there are ways around it but I don't know any.

It great on the xbox mate.You can adjust the flicker filter within the emulator to have it looking like you are playing through RF on 30 year old portable tv or looks ultra sharp .Tons of options to have it looking as good or bad you like on the xbox snes emu.All you need to do is go into the options menu and have a fiddle with the different settings till the pic is how you like.

Had a fair bit of fiddling and fannying'abart on various Emulators on both Xbox and PSP to get things just right.Once done? Never looked back.

I dunno, i tried getting SNES games to run on a PSP and it was never quite right. I think the PSP is just slightly too slow for SNES emu. The Xbox is great - if you dont mind the horrid controllers.

[SJ_Sathanas]

Here is a rough list of what I am after. Most are not too expensive but I was shocked at the prices of most games.

Stunt Race FX.
Star Fox.
SUper Mario World.
Aleste.
Axelay.
Pilotwings.
Turtles.
SUper Tennis.
Castlevania.
Metroid.
Smash TV
Actraiser.

Good list. I've been really reluctant to get Starfox as I expect it to be terribile after all these years. Even back then the framerate was "sketchy".
Get Smash Tennis instead of/as well as Super, though. Also if you like a bit of Desert Strike get Desert Fighter- it's awesome.

Does anyone know is Super Metriod JP contains english? I think it does.

Yes it has an option for all text to be in english. Great to see all this love for the SNES!

I've got a lovely mint PAL SNES with a 50/60 switch and widended cart slot which I'll NEVER part with. I only have Starfox, Stunt Race FX, Mario Allstars (with SMW), Contra III and F-Zero. I sold all my games I had collected as emulation on the Wii is the exact same thing, because I'm running them 60hz through RGB at 240p so they look indistinguishable. I even bought an adaptor to use my SNES pad but tbh it's rubbish compared to the CCP so no, I don't collect for this amazing machine anymore, it's just wasted money to me.

I do play SNES an awful lot though, I never stopped tbh.

A scan converter like Extron Emotia is what you are looking for (or a wii preferably) because the Xbox doesn't support lower progressive resolutions I feel the exact same way, I hate the 480i look as it's messy with the flickering all over the place even with point filtering and everything scaled evenly to 2x. Everything looks blocky without the proper scanlines to separate the pixels, when it should look crisp and just beautiful.

Xbox SNES emulation isn't that great anyway tbh, so it's not really worth it for that alone.

I've got a lovely mint PAL SNES widended cart

Surely the widened cart slot means it's not mint?

[C=Style]

Well yeah probably but you know what I mean, no yellowing or scratches etc. I think it looks nice with US cart sitting in it.

It isn't really a console I go out of my way to collect for, but I pick up the odd game if I see it in a bargain bin. I feel I've got a pretty good collection, considering that virtually all of the games were either bought for about a quid in Cash Convertors, given to me by mates or came with the machine itself (which I got about 11 years ago in exchange for a third-party N64 rumble pack...and nothing more!)
