No worries, happy to help. Had fun making them. I put a link up to the imgur album they are all in on r/minsnesmods already :)
I started a few but with finals coming up and everything, I haven't gotten to it again. I probably will do some mid December.Is nobody creating logo-less Switch-type icons anymore?
Those may have been my favorite icons to use on my SNES, such as this one:
I didn't get to post my gallery update from yesterday... but I went back and redid some of my earlier boxart efforts, so in my gallery post you can grab
- Updated Lufia 2 boxart, where I better managed to capture the Super Famicom art for US proportions.
- Updated Breath of Fire, which I used (I think most likely, but it also could be concept art) some fantastic quality fanart
- Sonic Blast Man II. where it is now containing the much more in line with the game tone of the Super Famicom art
- Super Buster Bros... with Super Pang art
- I made a US version of my custom SFC Famicom Detective Club Part 2 box art
Enjoy if you want them!

oh no fam, that's official artwork from the Japanese GBA re-release
Thanks, I was hoping someone would make one for BoF1. Pairs nicely with the one for BoFII made by another member from the BoFII GBA port:
Oh wow that's cool! I did not know that. The best clean version I found of that BOF art listed it as "fan art" or "concept art" Stupid listings!
...Well, I'm glad you got some use out of it!
First time I've played around with the 3D tool in Photoshop. I feel the logo came out well.
Took a bit of liberty having the artwork for Live A Live go all the way to the right hand edge, but it looked weird having just a white border to one side.
EDIT: After looking at it for awhile, I felt the need to redo the Seiken Densetsu 3 logo

Holy Crap. I'm using those! Thanks! BEAAUAUUUUTIFUL
Another alternate boxart added to my gallery post... this time for Lost Vikings 2.
I really just don't like the original Playstation 3D model styled cover. Feels alittle off to me haha

Understandable, it's the stuff of nightmares. :D Yours is awesome, I'm so using it; thanks!
It's where 50% of American SNES Mini Classic owners bought their system from.
You're welcome!
The sequel went multiplatform and ports were contracted for 32-bit systems... I guess the cover was made for parity. Blah!
Haha... I was gonna say it's the land of pals, banding together against the tyranny of 50hz oppression... and gather round to read the latest issue of Super Play (best SNES magazine ever)
Gentleman, one question. I got the japanese version is there any chance to change the GUI language to English?
I absolutely adore Tom Dubois' SNES box art for Konami... however his work with them came to an end in 1994 and Konami's boxarts thereafter, lacked a certain gravitas!
So I took a stab at an alternative Adventures of Batman and Robin boxcover. The original cover always looked like a cheap children's book knock off of the show's art style. So I searched and came across a cool painting from the animated series. Theme-wise, it fit perfectly with the Joker's rollercoaster battle in the game - in the first level called "Amused to Death".
I kept the official licensed Batman product holographic seal and I also added some text to the front from the PAL version of the game that reads:
"Criminally insane super-villains have escaped from Arkham Asylum and only one hero stands between them and the destruction of Gotham City!"
I love this game, one of my favourite carts to plug in from my real collection! You can grapple hook the file away from my galley post!
EDIT:
With Batman on my mind... I have now alternated Batman Returns as well. From the original's sliced up movie stills, here instead, I used the Super Famicom cartridge label for the coverart. I really liked how the Japan office used bold comic book imagery for their packaging of this sweet beat 'em up!

Somehow I managed to snag one today. Should I just mod it right away and add some games? Seems pretty simple.
Neat, but I don't understand how it's different to the current version...
I just witnessed Illusion of Gaia's SFC cover. Woah It's a thing of beauty, so I jumped right on in for a US box adaption. I may tweak it further down the road once I solve a composition idea I still have. Get it from my gallery post!

It can be optimised for the platform, hopefully reducing input latency and just generally improving how Retroarch functions on the SNES Mini.
I bought two of these at the time and now the 2nd one isnt wanted, so I might just keep one as a pure SNES machine, and mod the other to be like a SNES port machine. I mean like running different versions of games that (sort of) came out on the snes. Like Final Fight arcade instead of the port, and so on.
Anyway just curious, whats the actual amount of memory you can use safely for games, is it only 70 meg? That's what my current hakchi wont go over, but ive not used the space mod.

Those are truly amazing! Just a tiny heads up, post linking seems to be semi-broken for people with different posts per page; however, you can use single post permalinks to get around that: here's the one for your gallery post:

It is pretty simple if youre computer literate, and essential to remove the blur filter to be honest (by adding the screen mod and a small command line).
Great thread and great device from Nintendo. I was today finally able to geld hold of a SNES mini and put some more games on the machine. Worked like a charm and the screensaver feature is amazing.
One Question: To play NES Games I need a NES mini, right?

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I just want to let fellow retro enthusiasts know that we now have an official Super Nintendo |OT| here on ERA. Come check it out and join the discussion!
What do you mean your hakchi won't go over that? I have 180 megs worth of games added.
Use retroarch.
If you want to play them legally, yes.
If not, then you can add NES (and other consoles) to the SNESC using retroarch. Or you can add the NES Classic kernel to the SNESC and have a dual boot system with SNES and NES.
Nope, you've got two options to play them on the SNES mini: First and easier, you can install Retroarch and emulate NES (and other systems); second and more work, you can dual boot your system into a NES mini. I did this method from reddit and it has worked pretty nicely for me.
That sounds good. Will give Retroarch a try tomorrow. Thanks.
If I use Retroarch I can manage all the NES / SNES games on the system with hakchi2?
That's kind of awesome then. I knew there were a few minor issues with input lag etc with the current iteration, and I'm sure with the classic bring such a widespread platform that there'll be plenty of support :)
Thank you! Short and clean... I might go back and edit some posts now haha

Do you know who "owns" the compatibility list? Someone should make a backup of the list and lock it because the other backups are too old and outdated. I made a backup of the current list, but I don't have the ability to lock it, so it gets deleted by who knows who. The reason is because too many idiots screw up the list by removing games and notes. Too many idiots with bad roms reporting glitches, or idiots unknowingly using retroarch removing bug reports because they didn't notice anything with their game. Every couple of days I go through the list and I see names and notes deleted and I have to restore it. But I'm getting tired of it and eventually it's going to turn into a wasteland of bad information when good people stop updating it.

Yup, I notice the same thing. I think the original owner is this guy:

A friend is going to be installing the emulator tomorrow for me while I'm at work, a few questions:
What are the best known fan translations for DQ V and VI? Does the current version of the emulator automatically come with sharper scanlines? If not how do you add the sharper scanline command? Thanks in advance for answering all this.

When you start hakchi2 you can select the mini you have and the Super Famicom is there, too.
Thanks. I tried it today and worked great. Fantastic little hardware.
Mine only shows 70 left, I guess ive filled it with save states and junk. Whats the stock default amount of space on the thing?
How do you install custom mods? I wanted to install https://github.com/DanTheMan827/custom_boxart.hmod to see if I can get some custom box art for the original games (in folders)
I have no idea. This guy pointed me there.
https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmo...ule_hmod_to_change_original_box_art/?sort=new
He kept saying he knew the issue with his MOD and was going to fix it, but kept making excused and not fixing it. So I was going to try the one he pointed us to.
I hope it is persistent?
