Super 8 / Tri-Star Review: Play NES & Famicom Games on an SNES!

[aBoxfulOfVids]

Was encouraged to get one of those having seen your review, and I'm happy I've got it; should be ordering more games soon (someday I'll get a PAL game to test out if I can get one cheap). And oh yes, the cart slots are so damn tight.

If u <3 the SNES cuntroller and want to taste [the] purity [of the original, non-emulated H/W], look up the "Dogbone" controller for the NES. It's its older brother. I have 2 and use them with extreme prejudice.

Have you ever tried any PAL NES or SNES games on this? I'm curious if it would actually play those. ESPECIALLY the PAL SNES games.

@MrHossCartwright The device is only a passthrough for SNES games (though some games that detect "copying" devices won't run - like Killer Instinct), so they're not going to work on an NTSC SNES. I also don't own any PAL SNES games or NES games, and probably won't be getting any. If you're looking to play PAL NES and SNES games with this device, you need to find the PAL version of it (it's just labelled "Tri-Star"), and play it with a PAL SNES (or PAL-modded SNES).

Hello!

were did you buy it?, plz answer, im waiting so long to play nes games on a Snes!!!

[nusilver]

@Lorrer09 Hmm...it appears I can't post a link to eBay here? Strange. Search the phrase "SNES Super Nintendo Console NES 8 Bit Adaptor System" on eBay, and you'll find what you're looking for. The second listing ($39.99 + $15 shipping) is the one I purchased. They ship worldwide, so you should be good, wherever you are :)

I bought one of these off e-bay over a year ago and have been happy with it ever since.....I can play all my NES/Famicon and super famicom games all on my Mini SNES on my LCD tv....it's gaming bliss ...

[nusilver]

@gametothemacks I wish I could! I don't have a capture card or I would've done that instead of use a TV. And actually, I've never had one, so I don't have any experience with them either. Have you tried going directly out from your TV? If your TV or receiver has a video out option, you might try that as well.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! What model is your capture card?

[gametothemacks]

hey i have a snes but for some reson my capture card dosnt work as in capturing it it just sais no single could you please help me please respond quik

@SatoshiMatrix1 Thanks! Been a bit too busy to post anything here or at my blog, but I appreciate your comments. I've got plenty of stuff going on with regards to retro gaming...I just need to sit down and pick something to talk about. :)

[SushiSunshine2000]

Damn!! I wonder why Nintendo didn't think of that at the time?!!

I don't have an NES nor Famicom but I'd like to buy this!!
