Payed my customs fee earlier today, now just waiting for it to arrive. It says the package is at an Ontario Service Area, but I don't think it will make it to my house today :( The estimated date of arrival is still Tuesday, but I am hoping for Monday!

Edit: The customs fee was $48 CAD.

Mine is scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day! So excited!

For those who have received theirs, was the latest firmware pre-installed?

Was thinking of buying a second one to keep sealed, but after conversion and ~$50 CAD customs fee, not sure if it's worth it.

Analog told me there was a delivery exception the same day it shipped, and the next day. But ups says it won't be here til next Monday so I'm assuming it's an error?

I didn't worry about it but now the tracking number hasn't updated in three days. It did move once though, and it was after their alerts.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Well this is weird, just checked the DHL tracking information and it is saying that it was sent on the 2nd, arrived in Japan on the 3rd with customs status updated, and now its saying its back in Los Angeles. The estimated arrival date is still October 9th. Is this normal or does it look like there was a problem with customs and its been sent back?
Mine's the same, I think it's just tracking errors. I'm just gonna wait it out.

Yeah, its an expensive investment. All told, it comes in at nearly $400 CAD! I ended up purchasing two original SNES controllers from Kijiji for $20 that are in pretty good shape! I think I probably spent another $200 or more on actually getting games to play on the system.

Yooo the packaging and device itself are so so nice!! Can't play yet because my brother still has all our carts and controllers so I gotta wait a bit yet.

I should get an SD card for this thing. I suppose it doesn't matter much which, right?

I spent most of the weekend playing this thing, and I can honestly say it's the absolute best way to play Super Nintendo games, period.

They look perfect on my big TV, and the amount of customization options for the video out is staggering. I was also impressed with how little lag there was. I couldn't perceive any, and it has been so long since I've played many of these games without some delay.

My only question to Analoge now is, when are you guys going to produce and release an updated NES NT?

They have kind of claimed they aren't going back to the NES. I find it weird that the clear Super is listed as "Discontinued" while the NES's are "Out of Stock" yet they claim they aren't making more. So, who knows.

I think they're just making the distinction between discontinued meaning they ceased production of a faulty form factor, and Out of Stock just meaning they sold out.

Got mine today, just as DHL tracking said. Unfortunately got hit with 1880 yen in customs tax.

Anyway, this thing rules so hard. It's just as good as the SFC+OSSC combo I was using before (once I worked out to turn off interpolation and set it to 720p for scanlines), but with far less hassle and in a little slick box. Even dumped my Dragon Quest 2 save!

So you had to pay when they came to the door? Damn, ah well.

I have plans tonight so I scheduled mine for tomorrow. Not sure what I'll play first yet.

Edit: I'm remembering you also live in Japan as I wrote that. You do, right?

Edit2: is there another thread to talk about the system itself? We can ask questions here?

Just gonna cross post here...

I know a lot of new folks are getting their Super Nt. If you have an SNES Classic it is possible to transfer your saves over, as well this post covers a lot of little details about how saving works on the SNT, so if you thought you'd have to abandon your half way complete run of Secret of Mana then give it a look.

And it doesn't work with my tv.

"An incompatible video signal has been received."

Any advice?

Just got mine delivered and had a quick play on f-zero. Really, really impressed by the quality of everything, I love the design, packaging, boot up animation and the amount visual options available. The games look fantastic and run perfectly, just as good as an RGB cabled SNES through a framemeister.

The only negative thing about getting the Super NT is DHL. The package is very light and there is no way it costs as much as it did to send, plus I got stung by customs so that was an extra ¥1,800 on top of what I paid. I really hope Analogue look into other options for international shipping as the prices DHL are charging are ludicrous.

Same thing happened to me on my old 1080i CRT. It works on my KS8000 though.

I'm able to use my retroUSB AVS on the CRT so I don't know what the deal is.

My TV is 720p/1080i from like 2007 or so. Feels like I bought an expensive paper weight. Wish I could've known there were issues.

Also unable to update the firmware. Follow the instructions and it's just a white light.

edit: have emailed support.

edit2: I suppose it's already updated to the latest firmware, as it's new?

I think it defaults to 1080p, though I THINK there might be a way to make it default to 480p and then you can set it to 720p from there.

Most likely the EDID for the display isn't telling the SNT that your display doesn't support whatever format the SNT is outputting. If you have another display available try using that to set the SNT to 480p or 720p and then reconnect it to that display.

I think I've got the settings I like!

I am using my Super NT on a 27" AOC Agon AG271QX 1440p 144Hz monitor. At first I thought it wouldn't look that great due to the Super NT outputting at 1080p, but to my surprise the image looks crisp!

Take a look:

Gave mine a quick test run and damn this thing is great!! Haven't fiddled around with screen settings yet

Some of my games don't work but that most likely means they need a proper cleaning

I'm also really hoping other cores will get released at some point, would love to play Genesis and GBA and the like on this

Thanks. That sounds plausible. I have a monitor at work, I could try to hook it up to that and see if it works (and then set the SNT appropriately).

I'm a little more concerned that I can't update the firmware. I've tried theee different SD cards, reformatted them all to Fat32, but only the one file on them and then put it in the Super NT before turning it on. Is there an obvious thing I could be overlooking?

Edit: updated to 4.4 first and then it worked. I don't know why. Now I just need to try it on a different monitor. Guessing my 27 inch at work in my open Japanese office wouldn't go over too well. May go to a friends on the weekend.

I've been watching videos on youtube, and I think I can change the settings without my TV.

Three down to go to settings, hit X.

Hit X again to click on video.

Hit X again to click on resolution.

I haven't seen a video where they actually click on resolution, but I will do trial and error, and hopefully be able to click on 480p or 720p.

(If anyone can provide me with the steps after clicking resolution, I would be grateful!)

Try this?

- Holding reset on powerup will force 480p mode. This should fix the issue people were having with non-detection of EDID leading to blank screens. Once booted, you can attempt to change modes to a higher one (i.e. 720p).

Got my starter kit ready to go. Got an SFC Super Metroid cart on the way. Hopefully the battery ain't dead, but if it is I'll just have to beat it in one sitting (unless the game is unplayable with a dead battery). Saving up for an SD2SNES.

The HORI Fighting Commander I imported is godlike. I might even prefer it over the Saturn pad for fighting games (the SNES d-pad and evenly sized buttons edge it out). It's nice and broken in too. Feels great. It's going to hold me down until I figure out an arcade stick solution for the system.

Took a picture from my TV with my phone. I'm running 720p at 4:3 (on a 1080p TV). Got normal scanlines set to 120 depth. Gamma raised to 1.20. I really like how it looks right now, but I'm still tweaking it:

You can replace the battery, FYI. But it's a slight hassle, you'll have to solder a bit. SD2SNES is a solid idea either way, I use it a lot just for the convenience of not having to dig through my carts. Don't forget you can dump your games and play back ROMs with the jailbreak firmware. It's certainly not as good as an SD2SNES, but might be a neat stop gap solution.

I don't know why so many people go the SD2SNES route tbh. I returned mine when this batch of Super NTs went up for preorder because of the jailbreak firmware. The number of special chip games is so low that I just bought the 8 or so I wanted and I can have everything else on the SD.

I love the SNES so much, I got the sd2snes and wasn't going to get the NT, but relented and got the classic edition in August. It arrived yesterday. Played with it for about 45 minutes or so. Seems good. I need to dive into the settings soon. Might jailbreak it too. That way I can leave the sd2snes in the supaboy.

I plan on picking up a sd2snes because I still find it useful for original hardware. And while msu stuff has been mostly silly up to this point I'd still like the option to check it out on snt/og.

The SD2SNES is going to get official SA-1 support very soon (the beta firmware for it is pretty damn solid), which means some of the systems really expensive games will be supported.

Hope you have enough by Black Friday for the yearly 20% off sale. It's the best time of year to get one.

20%! I'll def wait to cop then.

I'm gonna give the jailbreak a go this weekend. Are there battery replacement services? I know it's supposed to be an easy fix, but I have zero soldering skills and don't want to risk it.
