I would probably have a much higher opinion of the Raspberry Pi if not for the Raspberry Pi community.

This SNES variant looks like it would do the trick if you can't get ahold of a SNES at a reasonable price and want to try the Pi world.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not usually a fan of the US-styled SNES. But damn, that looks good.

I just wish I'd known about this new case a few weeks ago when I bought a Nespi case. The Nespi cases are nice but they have to be modded before the reset button will run a power down script.

From the product's set up instructions, it looks like the reset switch on this newer case will work properly out of the box.

Im going to go into all the pi threads and suggest they replace the pi with the guts from a SNES Classic.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.

I downloaded a few "complete sets" and attract mode sucks balls on it.

That was your first mistake. The "complete set" images are generally a major PITA. They take forever to download, only fit on stupidly expensive SD cards, and you'll never play 99% of the games on them.

I've had much better luck with the smaller more tightly focused images. For example, I tried out MaxLittlePixel's Nintendo classic image about 6 months ago, and I've never looked back. It's only 8gb but contains pretty much every NES/SNES/Famicon game ever made.

Since then I haven't bothered with images over 8gb. They tend to be full of mostly untested shovelware, and the vast number of games makes the menus too unwieldy to navigate.

The problem with the case you linked to is that it doesn't appear to have working power and reset buttons.

Just wait for RetroFlag to release their SNESPi case. Those guys know how to make a nice RPi case.

I don't plan on buying it... (yes I have a Rasberry Pi). I just hate how every company is cashing in on the nostalgic thing... Plus I can't stand Nintendo, for all of the bs they put you fan boys through... Release NES classic... run out right away, release more... run out right away, stop production (due to costs?). Release Nintendo Switch... run out of consoles, Release SNES classic... run out right away. Etc.

Nintendo has to be the worst company right now. Can't keep up with demand, keeps releasing more hardware, creates this black market of $200+ nes classics. It's freaking crazy!



Just to be clear I am not a Nintendo Fanboy, I was always more of a Genesis/Sega Cd/Dreamcast kid. I actually never owned a Nintendo product aside from the Virtual boy ahahahaha That being said I purchased this as a plug and play device that I did not have to create! Man the hours and hours I spent with Hyperspin lol But ya I HATE the black market.


Oh, I wasn't talking about you specifically... I have a lot of friends that are just die hard (to the point of being obnoxious) fanboys.
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

Retroflag does make nice NESPi cases, but you need to do a mod and install a script to send a safe shutdown command instead of just interrupting power when you press the reset button.

So far, the easiest mod for the NES case appears to be the one in by ETA PRIME.
- Bridge a few solder points (red lines)
- Solder two resistors and a wire with a female Dupont pin (yellow line) that connects to GPIO pin 5
- Install the script



Of course, if you want something easier, fully-legal and more bulletproof, a NES classic/SNES classic is the better choice.   ;D

I have the RetroFlag NesPi case and I connected mine with the default wires.  It instantly powers off and resets.  (Hard power and hard reset).  Haven't had a corrupt image yet.  I have the SD card imaged so if it does get corrupted I simply re-image it in 10 minutes.  But again, never had an issue.  For me, it's not worth the hassle to mod and add the extra shutdown script.

However, you're right, the SNES one doesn't have the power and rest.  But VWBus is right, the RetroFlag SNES case is going to be just as good and I'm sure it will include both power and reset as well once it's released.

I was going to do this very mod last week but then it occurred to me that it is a somewhat pointless mod. You don't ever really have to use the Reset switch on the case. If you need to exit a game just hold start + select at the same time. And if you need to shut down the system, just use the shutdown command build into the software.

I guess if you want to show someone a neat trick, you could do this mod...but I found it to not really be worth the trouble.

That was a really helpful reply. Everybody knows you have a pi. We get it.
Wait, what's this now? I didn't know that. I must have been the lone hold-out. Now that I'm finally up to speed, you're right, he should never mention it again.

Im going to go into all the pi threads and suggest they replace the pi with the guts from a SNES Classic.
I endorse this idea. The differences between the responses you get doing that versus the responses in this thread have the potential to teach you a lesson.


I think of it as nerd magic. They can create drama out of thin air.

Can you Pi cultists please just start your own thread? You can all congratulate each other for being intellectually superior to us commoners. Then you can leave the rest of us alone. I think all of the Pi posts belong in Politics and Religion.

tell ya what.
come to a truce, pi cultists will pull back if the guys that have a brain aneurysm every time pi is mentioned pull back also.
the main forum can be a neutral zone where pi and anti-pi unofficially comment. :)

The greatest irony of all: the "anti-Pi-comment" comments actually outnumber the "Pi" comments by a ratio of about 10:1.  That alone is hilarious.

Not bad....and looks like the best version so far.

I'd like to hold out for the EU version. It just looked so much better than the US version.

Otherwise you are a really pathetic person in my opinion. Belittling people because of an opinion or preference, is just sad.[/size]
So, you're a really pathetic person since your are belittling people because of an opinion or preference?
Wow, you're an arrogant and dumb ---tallywhacker---. Were you bullied at school? You are the reason normal people don't like specialist forums.... Arrogant ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- with no arguments (because if someone does if differently than !, it's wrong!!).

Just found this thread. Didn't realize the anti-pi and pro-pi camps were at war. I posted my Pi R2D2 build here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,155476.msg1631425.html#msg1631425 It's a pretty sweet case that holds the controllers and cables when not playing.

My Pi takes less than 20 seconds to come up and the theme is called Comic Book. It's the best one out there (not opinion! lol)

Oh geez, I see Get-Off-My-Lawn Malenko is just as cheerful as ever. I'm so sure all your posts are on target.

Maybe I'm getting my streams crossed, but I thought someone said something about the Pi's taking 3 minutes to boot and having terrible front ends. I posted a pic of a cool front end and shared my experience of boot times. Seems on topic to me.  ;)

Leapinlew, just out of curiosity, is your pi completely set-up?  Like all emulators work, with the right control configs and input-lag tuned for your LCD?
If so, may I ask how long it too you total to get it to this point?

2 big factors I can't stand the Pi.  Set-up time, and the fact the emulators are out of date. Mame especially.

It's completely setup for me.

I don't use it for mame, I'm only using it for consoles, so I avoided that whole mess. I use iPacs and PC's for my mame setups. I don't think the Pi has enough ass to deal with Mame, not to mention, I'm not sure how the setup would go. Hell, I have enough issues using an ipac and getting my game selection, button mappings, etc. to make sense.

For consoles, it works great. The only issue I had was changing an icon that displayed as Sega Master System icon instead of Sega Genesis. I'm only playing Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis on it. I only loaded the games on it that I want to play, because I'm done with scrolling through 200 games I'll never play to get to the game I want.

As for input-lag, I've experienced that only once with a modded Wii. Even if I put the TV in game mode. The Pi, with the TV I'm using, has no noticeable lag. I play Super Mario World and other precision platformers and don't see any issues.

Maybe I went into the Pi with low expectations. It's certainly got it's place. I imaged the SD card and have loaded up other Pi's. I plug it in and unplug it without shutting it down proper. I've heard they take a dump when you do that, but I haven't seen that yet.

Leapinlew, just out of curiosity, is your pi completely set-up?  Like all emulators work, with the right control configs and input-lag tuned for your LCD?

I know you didnt ask me but i found the same as Lew generally.

Ive built 3 pi systems.

1) The Neo Geo bartop
2) A megadrive with MS,MS & 32x systems
3) NESpi with NES & SNES.

With the tv set to the correct AV mode no noticeable lag is present (mistake many people make with the pi)

I did have some trouble getting the controls to work correct on the megadrive pi but that was partly a problem of my own making and with a few hours of effort all sorted out.

But the NES I had built/programmed/set up & playing properly within maybe 4 hours.

Its pretty intense in here.  Next thing you know people will be fighting over DC vs Marvel.  Or Chevy vs Ford.  Or Yotsuya vs pbj.
Let him who hath understanding reckon the words of Drake Tungsten: What you are seeing here, and elsewhere, is not PI vs ant-Pi. Nobody gets this emotional over a dinky piece of hardware. This has just been a band of chimps attempting to mark their territory, leaving the rest of us either confused or amused. We get that 'round these parts from time to time.

Dont feed Drake Rew
For the love of God, take this advice.  To make it easier for you: In case you're not aware, there is a handy "ignore" feature in these forums. I encourage anyone who is worried about "feeding" me to make use of it. The fewer cowards there are making straw men of my words, the more enjoyable this place will be.

I once went over to the surgery ward at my local hospital and found a older gentleman waiting to get a prosthetic hip. I mentioned to him “why pay for that when you can get a pi for $35!”. He punched me in the face... I felt shame.

The end.

Back on topic, the SNES Classic has been hacked!

Now you can add your own games to it. I haven't done it yet, but from what I heard, other games will work even if they use special chips, like the Mega Man X2 and X3 games with the C4 chip.

Also you can select options to reset to the menu using a button combination on the controller.

Here's one of the videos. Not sure if it's the most current method, but I'm sure you guys in the know can hit the usual sites for the latest hacking methods.

(Edit: Video embedding doesn't seem to show up for me. I think it's on my end, but just click the link anyway.)

Edited, but the video doesn't show up for me in the thread on either Chrome (my default browser) or Internet Explorer. Never seems to whenever someone posts a video here or on KLOV. All I see is a large blank space with "! No Longer Available" (but clicking that still takes me to the video.) Nobody else ever says anything, so it must be an issue with my computer.

*Tried it with Opera browser. It does show up there and works. Still says "! No long available" under it though. Wierd.

Same happens to me on iOS using safari. It's not just you.
