so...........i would emulate first. Get a USB SNEScontroller and try some games.
If you love it and can't get enough I'd look into getting original hardware. But if you don't have that need to play it all on original hardware on a CRT TV then emulation is a good place to start.
I use the Buffalo USB snes controller. I got it off Amazon for around 10 bucks. Feels like I'm playing with an original snes controller.
Edit: Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad for PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002B9XB0E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yh-Eyb9KR28PQ
Looks like its 18 now. Still worth it in my opinion.
Can't you buy a USB 3.5 floppy adapter for about $11, dump the disk, and try it in an emulator?
It’s a shell you can purchase on amazon. Took about 2.5 hours with a special tool kit from amazon too. It was a challenge but well worth it!

have you played it? its one of the worst mario games ever made
that being said start with plastic razor blades for the edges something like this
the front label is tough to not damage
they sell these on amazon, btw.
this model is the 2.4ghz wireless usb one, though. no bluetooth support, and only works with the controller port on the nes/snes classic.
there are bluetooth models - these new ones come with a bluetooth receiver that plugs into the snes.
I saw a few the other day at a target in California and they're on amazon readily available with prime shipping for $79.99
Edit: Super NES Classic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721GGGS9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I99VBbQK48N37
It looks like one of the ports of Lunar: The Silver Star, and judging from how clean the sprites look, likely Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for PSOne. Could be wrong.
Pretty sure there's a rom that has the complete story. I have it, but not sure of the rom sharing here so Google for a complete file, they're out there.
Edit- I realized I had the third quest as one rom not the tablet one.
https://cdromance.com/snes-rom/the-legend-of-zelda-bs-the-ancient-stone-tablets-english-patched/
Try that. Sorry mods if this isn't allowed.
Re-released recently here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Retro-Bit-Europe-Ultimate-Collection-Cartridge/dp/B077NGWPWM/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=joe+and+mac&qid=1624626771&sr=8-2
This is a fun game which my family regularly play on my arcade emulator machine.
It's part of the mold, so you'll have to replace the entire panel. They're available from various sellers including Amazon.
I finally got my pre-ordered case from PDP via Amazon and it's pretty dope. The only problem I've had is the cable compartment is just big enough for the cables to fit, so it takes a little jostling to get everything in.
I love the feel of the actual hardware too, so you can still have every single game for a bit less than that.(which might not be truly unopened,just resealed console)
Just buy the SD2SNES or Everdrive for 150.00
or full amazon link:
After looking, I found these two, but I haven't tried them yet. They look promising though.
This game looks really interesting, pretty cool concept. It would be neat to see a sequel with the flaws fixed. The only game I can think that is similar is Wizorb but that's more like Arkanoid in a fantasy setting with RPG elements. I still enjoyed Wizorb a lot and I'll definitely try Firestriker.
There's always the DIY route. Retroflag case in your desired style, Raspberry Pi (or one of the dozens of other single-board computers out there) inside to power it, and RetroPie for the OS.
I don't like the idea of supporting companies trying to sell me pirated software that I can find on my own, so that's my solution. I've had various models of Raspberry Pi since buying the first one 9 years ago. I've got a Super NES Mini and a Playstation Classic too, both modified to add more games.
That's not really right. Nintendo's default sound engine was shit, which allowed Shin'en to make a small fortune by licensing their own engine, Gax, to others. The GBA sound rather good with it.
as nostalgic as this is the format (youtube video) is pretty useless. Here is a collection of 790 3d boxarts and 787 snes cart images from my frontend setup. have at it
Chrono Trigger is shockingly short. Its only like 20-25 hours + Another 5 to get all the endings. It just feels longer. Howlongtobeat puts the average main plus at 26 hours.
Great work!!
Would be awesome if this could somehow be ported into the SNES version via an MSU rom mod. Or better yet, have it replace the less than stellar Junya Nakano rearrangements of the DS & PSP versions (specifically the PSP version, which graphically is the best port of the game).
I would suggest a Raspberry Pi and then put RetroPie on it and emulate to your heart's content. It hooks up via HDMI, has 4 usb ports on it so just plug in an xbox 360 controller. He can find it here since he's in the UK (except it's backordered :/ ): http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/832-6274/
It's only £24.90. There are other places to find it too. Or the older Pi B+ is just as good for emulating, just not as good for N64 as the Pi 2.
This is pretty awesome. I actually was just making myself a list of games yesterday that I wanna play through. I had a habit of moving on to other games before beating the previous, so I've never seen the end of most games I love.
I decided to find out which games I might be able to beat in an evening after work, which lead to me finding this useful website: http://howlongtobeat.com/
I thought I might document my playthroughs with brief writeups just because I enjoy that kinda thing.
No, but OpenEmu was released not too long ago, which is a really good front-end with downloadable cores (back ends) for many emulators. It is a very easy emulation experience, and it has brought in a lot of new mac people into emulation.
I went through your car’s manual online, and if your entertainment system is the same one I looked at. Unfortunately, this is the only “non-invasive” hope at adding the SNES. I also use a dual USB car charger for power in my 370z. Hope this helps ❤️!
Retro-Bit, Hyperkin, Old Skool, and others make clones, some of them with built-in HDMI. I had one of these years and years ago, but ended up giving it to my brother because I couldn't shake the feeling that it was lagging more than the original system did.
Regardless, the controllers that they come with tend to be pretty terrible, so you'll want to add in the cost of replacing them.
Not sure why you wouldn't just go for an actual SNES though.
Amazon has one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Portta-Composite-S-Video-Converter-upscaler/dp/B001VLO5BC
Don't know how well it would work since i don't own one of those adapters. I'll keep looking and update my comment if i find another one.
I thought the SNES controller Old Skool included with their Classiq 2 HD was decent. They go for about $20 on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Skool-Gamer-SNES-Controller-Super-Nintendo/dp/B01N2IRP0F?ref=ast_p_ep
A Raspberry Pi 2 B is about $40. It's also very small so it's easier to permanently tuck behind your TV. And finally, barely uses any electricity -- the Raspberry Pi Foundation estimates that a hamburger costs more than enough electricity to power a Pi for a year.
> So, does anyone know where I can find a good SNES clone console with no input lag (and no frame rate drop lag, either), and a Game Genie cheat system like the one I described up above? If so, then please comment down below where I can find it.
There is no silver bullet for what you want, but let me google that for you.
As for cheats, some flashcarts support cheats. You have to do the work though and place your cheat file in the memory card. You have to configure the flashcart to activate them for you.
Another alternative is to use an Emulation Station flavored OS like Batocera or Recalbox. As far as I know these include a cheat system but you have to figure it out. I am not sure but * I think * there is an online look up feature (could be wrong). You also got a few exyta perks like rewind, configurable auto-fire and custom button mapping features.
You could use an old laptop or buy one of those low powered mini PCs that are on sale right now (like this one), install Recalbox or Batocera on it, plug it to your HDMI TV set and a world of possibilities opens up.
There is also another very popular fpga device you could search for, but I have no idea if that particular device supports cheats. Still considering how popular it is I would not be surprised if it has something set up already.
Good luck!
Oh, sorry. Reading is hard. Yeah, a purple one is available now. Absolutely nothing was wrong with my black one, but I liked the atomic purple a lot so I picked one up:
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Bluetooth-Raspberry/dp/B07WRCHV8S
I play videogames in a hot tub often so having a backup is nice, having two is nice so gf can use the same controller as me, and purple looks really nice. I did buy some spare button sets from 8bitdo also to make the face buttons all yellow.
Does it look anything like my old SNES?
If so, it's an issue with the console.
I think it depends a little on where you live. I bought mine from a retro game box store in Sweden (https://www.retrospelboxar.se/sv/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NebBhDDARIsAANiDD27gd2AfEanD3GXuLxu9BQZP6swREq1I1pyO0cqDI5xVO3_Z-mTHXIaAue3EALw_wcB). But I think Amazon may have some as well (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Case%EF%BC%88empty%EF%BC%89-Genesis-MegaDrive-Nintendo-64/dp/B08Z2VJ7PT). But you need to get the cover prints from somewhere as well, and I'm not sure where to get your hands on those where you are at though.
I'm still refining my techniques, but I use a sparkly sticker label and just cut it with an xacto blade. It works ok but sometimes they don't stick great and it picks up fingerprints very bad.
Printable Holographic Sticker (not an affiliate link) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091TS1MMD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I'd give this a 5/10. It works well enough for personal use but I wouldn't sell these commercially.
The label I designed with the help of the template a fella uploaded on here some time ago.
the SHVC-CPU-01 chipset runs amazingly hot. (probably all of the 3-chip models do) if you have an SHVC-CPU-01 and it's working fine, put copper heatsinks on the CPU and PPU chips.
you want something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Heatsink-Conductive-Adhesive-14mmx12mmx5mm/dp/B091KMJKY4/ref=sr_1_21?crid=2R3PS9RK7W2WN
they fit perfectly onto the chips and underneath the internal metal shielding inside the SNES/SFC.
i cannot say for certain if they prevent a 3-chip model from eventually cooking itself, but they can't hurt, and speaking for myself, my own SHVC-CPU-01 Super Fami (with heatsinks inside) is still chugging along.
If you're referring to the sticker on the front, you can remove those with Bestine (US) or Undu (CA). I'd try it out on another sticker first before attempting this one. If any glue residue is left behind, you can keep wetting it with Bestine/Undu and wipe it off gently. Whatever you do, do not apply any pressure what-so-ever or you'll take off the ink as well.
Usually, when there's a combo cable with both composite and S-Video, this occurs. OP (/u/yuGmooD420), get yourself a dedicated S-Video cable! This should be a good upgrade!
Where in eu do you live? I imported 8bitdo 2.4g from regular us amazon to sweden.
There is a lot of people mentioning the retrotinks and Super NT. But if money is a concern of yours, perhaps buy a clone console.
This is generally the cheaper and more practical way to go.
You can find a 'HDTV Converter' for Snes/N64. It's a simple adaptor with a HDMI socket for output. I got mine from Amazon for $25 and works perfectly.
Any cr2032 with soldering tabs on opposite sides horizontally will do. Meaning the same way the original.
And for Amazon, looks like they have the correct one also: https://www.amazon.com/EEMB-CR2032-Non-Rechargeable-Batteries-CR2032-VBY2/dp/B095P2MJZV
Get something like this.
Yes you can do it but be aware there's already one available at difficult to beat price point. The Hyperkin Supaboy. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-SupaBoy-Portable-Console-Famicom-nintendo/dp/B09MMHJTPX Of course there's always room for competition but you may want to look into something that's not being done really at this point. Good luck with whatever you decide to do 👍
Do you think these will work? Its the only CR2032 holders I have currently
There are adapters that convert HDMI input to DVI out and 3.5mm or RCA audio out. Here’s one.
Alright good idea. By any chance, do you know if I can solder [on these] to the cartridge? Would they work or nah(https://www.amazon.com/RuiLing-CR2032-Button-Battery-Holder/dp/B07PNK5D6H/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_2_4/147-4165384-4326641?pd_rd_w=L5eEl&content-id=amzn1.sym.52496815-75d1-441b-a973-439c7b1bea7c&pf_rd_p=52496815-75d1-441b-a973-439c7b1bea7c&pf...)
Yeah, it’s tricky without a multimeter. You can only test if things get hot. The AC adapter should get hot after some minutes even if no console is plugged in. (Hence, unplug it if you are not using it.). If it is cold, then you need a different AC adapter. Similarly, if you plug it into the console, turn on the console, let it run for some minutes, then turn off the console. Then this big cooler / RF shield on which the 7805 is mounted should be relatively hot. If not, then you didn’t get any power into the console.
There is nothing wrong with an analogue multimeter. You can use those as well, they are just not as common these days. You just need to measure DC voltage (below 10V) and continuity. You can look that up on YouTube if you never used a multimeter before.
If you still want to buy a digital one and are in Europe then the following is quite affordable:
I agree regarding the tools. This one is quite good but pretty affordable:
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Precision-Screwdriver-Repairing-Smartphone-Console/dp/B08NWKMT8V
I use it for all my cartridge verifications, maintenances, console cleaning and modding endeavors across multiple Nintendo consoles, and this got you pretty much covered,
What you can do, is swap the shell for the time being then. So you have a working one in a good shell, and the broken shell can just be a temporary housing for the broken PCB
Luckily taking apart the SNES is really straightforward compared to modern day electronics, as the majority of the case are large mechanical parts.
These two are meant for opening the cartridges (3.8mm) and the console (4.5mm). You'll also need a Philips head (no 2 size I believe, but technically you can get away with using most cross shaped bits).
I'm not big fan of Brasso with carts, you have to really make sure all of it is off otherwise it damages the cart and the console. I'd rather just use the ip at first and some felt furniture pads (essentially a 1up card). If its still bad deoxit, which cleans and helps protect the contacts.
If your budget is 400 USD and you have a CRT TV, then I would go for a used Super Nintendo (preferably a 1CHIP version) + FXPak Pro.
If you want to make something for a newer LED TV, then wait for a Super NT + FXPak Pro.
In both cases, I would suggest that you buy these wireless controllers from 8bitdo:
They are really affordable, convenient because they are wireless, and feel the same like the original controllers. That was one of the best purchases in my life.
Otherwise, make a cheap retro pie setup on a raspberry pie. Again there are 8bitdo controllers that you could use wit that kind of setup as well, look them up on their website.
Here is one of the 8Bitdo wireless SNES controllers, these are pretty much the original design, but 2.4ghz wireless. https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-SN30-Wireless-Gamepad-Original-nintendo/dp/B08536VCZL/ref=sr_1_3?crid=32ONYUYH2M39U&keywords=8bitdo%2Bsnes&qid=1658689606&sprefix=8bitdo%2Bsnes%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-3&th=1
One thing you could do is tether your systems to a wall. Like give them a safety harness so if your shelf falls again the tethers will catch the systems.
I have a cat and as much as I love the little furball I don't trust him around carpets. So if you can't install a carpet, i would definitely maybe try the tether idea.
I found these and they could work. Not sure how you could attach this to your SuperNT without damaging it. Adhesive?
Something like this should work to give you both sound channels. It won't be stereo as that TV doesn't support stereo but both channels should be mixed down to mono with the adapter. Also some games have an option to use mono audio, but many don't.
That is the cheap way of doing it though and sometimes can cause issues. If you want to do it the higher quality way you need a summing adapter like this one.
There was a multitap released in North America as well. It just looked plain in comparison. I think this was it?
I'm pretty sure the two are interchangeable, and will work in any region.
Might want to go with a SNES to HDMI cable, those composite to HDMI adapters aren’t worth it:
Ive used an adapter before and havent had issues, plus I dont think they are too expensive
Here is one on amazon for $13
they're these ones from amazon.
The metal legs need to be bent carefully, or they will snap unfortunately, however patience and a pair of pliers works well, plus I tin the bent contacts to reinforce the connection because I prefer to be prudent.
If done properly, they slide exactly into the same holes as the SNES game's board, and it's a really easy solder job from there.
It's this: https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-HDTV-Cable-GameCube-N64-Super/dp/B07SCPHHVB
​
It gets rebranded by a few names I've noticed. It creates a sharp clean image. Has a switch on there to keep it in a box or stretch if you like filling the screen as many do too.
I didn't have any ghosting, bleed, it's not as super sharp as the SuperNT is, but it's quite crisp still, a step back, but more than the best sharpness you'll get from lesser methods.
All of them. The full set of games isn’t that big. Like less than 2 gigs or so. You just get the right USB OTG cable so you can connect a flash drive to the back and put tons of games on it.
Unfortunately, I did not go that in-depth as I don't own an oscilloscope. I bought this pre-built here:
You can either use the potentiometer to manually adjust the output voltage or in my case utilize the fixed voltage.
Incase anyone might want to try to call bullshit on this
https://www.amazon.com/Lhistoire-Wii-R%C3%A9volution-palais-Retrogaming/dp/2377843042
It's used in this book with the same signature (in a different place)
You're probably going to need one to figure it out.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NC1C83C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ACIDT2Z2VDRG2&psc=1
it's compatible with Pro Controllers not sure about the Switch online controllers.
Yep, just get this thing and update the firmware. It's really easy to do just go to their website.
8Bitdo SNES - Adapter - Bluetooth SNES Retro Receiver - Super NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1T9CZS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_Y5EWC2R9R2VA1Z77DK8A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
There are new versions of the 8bitdo SN30 for original SNES that are fantastic, IMO.
8Bitdo SN30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad for Original SNES/SFC (SF Edition) - Super NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08536V3PH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_0B4YRNN7ACFRFMQ6DQ92?psc=1
I recommend these screwdrivers from Amazon for opening older games: https://www.amazon.com/ATLIN-Screwdriver-Security-Nintendo-Cartridges/dp/B01N3UO3V7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=AF6VNA9W2ULJ&keywords=atlin+screwdriver&qid=1649415561&sprefix=atlin+screwdriver%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1
Also whenever you take your SNES games apart (or any game really); when putting the screws back in; always hold the cartridge closed and turn left until the screw clicks into place, and then right after turn it right. Doing this will prevent the plastic threads from being damaged by the metal screw. It's setting the screw to it's original threading instead of creating new ones, and don't overtighten them.
The second one from akku-king will work with amrical SNES, like I've said I use it on Super Famicom which has 110v original power supply as US. As converter I use this one, it works fine but loud und unpractical, if you want to use your consoles regulary I would suggest to replace power supply, I only did for PS1 and N64. Check this link with more info which power supply is compatible.
You don't need converter, just buy power supply like this one and use it without issues. You need converter only with internal power supplies like in N64, PS1 etc.
I never noticed that, but looking at reviews on Amazon it looks like someone had an issue with doom. Tbh I didn't even know the original worked with that game haha!
Then I got curious what games its supposed to work with, and the list is way longer than I thought! Here it is if you're curious like I was.

I used these ones from Amazon but you might want to find some smaller one's because they were a pretty tight fit. No glue was needed though as they have those sticky sheets on the back, forgot what it's called. CKAuto 1/4oz, 0.25oz, Grey, Adhesive Stick on Wheel Weights, EasyPeel Type. Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Motorcycles, RC Cars. Low Profile, 12oz/Box, U.S. OEM Quality, (48pcs) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B085L74KS4/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_A5J5MT2C01X8W27HYT82?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These use 2.4g wireless instead of Bluetooth, so there's less input lag when playing; something you definitely don't want with these more difficult, old games.
> will have to look at more videos and guides to see ho tricky it is.
I have almost 10 years of experience with it, so maybe it would be harder for a newcomer than I think, haha. This is a link to the RetroPie setup documentation, so that you can judge for yourself.
> thats just too much, the $55 one is really enticing
That's what I bought. I have most of the enhancement-chip games that I want, so the cheaper flashcart just opened up the rest of the game library for me.

happier then a pig in shit! :)
disregard my horrendously dirty console. hydrogen peroxide coming this week to restore to nice original grey.
This is either a knockoff, or a redesign. The original one had less.of that brown-ish gray circle on the right, and was a deeper, kinda blu-ish gray. Also, the carved Nintendo logo on the top is a dead giveaway. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the snes controller has "SUPER NINTENDO" with the smaller words underneath at the top. Also, it was not engraved, it was printed.
Edit: Doing a bit of reasherching, I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000035Y6C/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_ACXJBGXWZC3AJ1DNNVZP
Even if this was real, there is no chance that it sells for almost 800.
I grabbed the Black Bluetooth model early 2020 on Amazon, looking now I'm surprised to see they don't have any with the SNES adapter anymore (mine came with one, though I never use it). Looks like you can get the 2.4G pads from the American site (they ship to Canada, and it'll cost about the same as I paid for mine after shipping/exchange). As for Bluetooth options, the Canadian site has these versions in various colours.

I bought a dual adapter for $7 few years ago. They seem to be a little more expansive now but I would still recommend them.
Playstation adapters are also very great for SNES emulation and pc gaming. the extra buttons are handy in many games or could be mapped to emulator functions (save state, fast forward, etc..)
I didn't think I would find myself going to the cheats so quickly, but this game is rough! There is also a cheat for extra continues. I think I will invoke that cheat first and see how far I can get.
Spoiler!
~~Doesn't sound like Evermore; that one didn't really have guns that I remember, unless you got them near the end.~~ (Also, Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore are different yet similar games, though I don't think either had guns.)
EDIT: I stand corrected (thanks Deathmic). You start with a bazooka (which you don't keep for long). I think it is Secret of Evermore now. Check this video and see if it looks familiar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5e_RgqpCMM
If not, here's a list of Action/RPGs, maybe this will help your search. http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/list-73
Was there a lot of dialog (e.g. stuff to read)? Your details are scant. Anything more you can give would be helpful.
I remember reading a Kotaku article by Tim Rogers that claims the code base for Resident Evil on the PSX is the same as Goof Troop for the SNES.
> A friend who is a genius computer programmer once explained to me how Resident Evil was built upon the source code of Capcom's Goof Troop—which was a 2D game for the Super Nintendo. This blew my mind—and then it blew my mind even harder when he showed me proof and walked me through the details.
Then this was repeated on several websites as fact. Sure, maybe this "computer genius" friend proved it to Rogers, but I've never seen any actual proof. Perhaps someone could prove it to the rest of us laymen? Something other than some guy saying his buddy told him it was in a Kotaku article?
Shinji Mikami directed both games. If RE was indeed originally developed for the SNES, it would make a lot of sense if it were based on Goof Troop.
The game still sucks, so definitely not worth it, but there were elements there that could have made it really good. Ultimately I think it was probably doomed from the start in that there was no clear market. Home users couldn't afford the gear, and gyms are in the business of selling you body image, not entertainment.
If you're interested, I put together a quick sprite test (in Scratch) for a couple of the side scroller animations. I still think the artwork for the game was fantastic, but I don't remember if Mark (the original programmer) used bitmasks or bounding boxes for the collision detection. Also, you can see with the two sprites which are using 8 frame cycles, Speed's walk/run cycle is pretty dynamic. The problem is it was hard to get the crispness in the controls with those longer animations. Here's a link.
I don’t know what the heck battery holder you tried to put there but put these next time. Bend the tabs straight and it’s a serious direct fit.

I find the red feels a little off maybe or I could be way off, it’s being done through a projector at 1080p
Great quality, plays amazing, cheaper than the retrotink by 3-4x
The problem you are describing is absolutely an RF/coax issue, and it would seem as if the RF signal is weak or experiencing interference. I'd try a new RF box (or you can use a standard RCA cable and an RCA-to-coax adapter) if that TV only accepts coax input, or definitely use composite if you can.
Please do not blow on electronics to clean them. Your breath is humid and can make things worse. Use contact cleaner. These products contain compounds reverse and neutralize the oxidation. My go-to product is detoxIT. Amazon link below.

Ys but TV with 2 RGB are really rare like super rare so we can keep in mind that the RGB scart is AV1
You can use a scart spliter to have multiple console on one scart, I use and highly recommend this kind (I found another one celled for one euro last day) : https://www.amazon.es/Vivanco-SBX-84-Splitter-Euroconector/dp/B000KPW6RK
I personally would just buy the cable :)

I use these for my RAD2x's
If money is an issue, you might want to consider RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi 3.
You spend $35 on the RPi plus some accessories, and you have every game on every retro system ever for free.
Then when you have a bit more money, you can invest in a collection.
i loved this game
the control bugged me when i tried to pay it recently
edit: i think i had the pc version which would explain my control issues
edit 2 oh hey the pc version is abondonware http://www.myabandonware.com/game/simant-the-electronic-ant-colony-197
Last night I streamed on my show, Thrilljo's Throwbakcs on my twitch channel last night, Demon's Crest. Love that game. Super unrated, excellent game play, fabulous art style, and the music really sets the tone/mood. Also posted footage on my YouTube if you want to check out some game play footage of it
Good stuff! I'm not an expert but I adjusted the geometry on my trinitron by using this free test suite(requires a flash car though):
http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/240p_test_suite
and you can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/testsuite240p/files/SNES_SFC/?
I fiddled around with the settings on several different test patterns for a few hours until I got a geometry I was happy with (you won't get it perfect). I believe all of the geometry settings are under VP1. Be careful though, you might end up with settings that you aren't happy with so I suggest you write down the current values of your settings incase you want to go back to your prior settings. Also each setting must be saved if you want it to stay that way. You save by pressing MUTE then ENTER.
If your TV supports composite or S-video you could use one of these

and then route one of the outputs into a RetroTINK or something similar to convert to HDMI for capture.
