so you own a physical copy of starfox 2? its in your owned list

[unleadedlogic]

@alareac Yup. Had it for awhile now.

[alareac]

@unleadedlogic oh thats cool just wondering i make them along with other unreleased/translated games

[unleadedlogic]

@alareac Nice! Yeah I got guy from Racketboy who makes them from time to time. I was a huge fan of the original Star Fox and was bumed when SF2 was cancelled. Glad to have it in some form it least.

[alareac]

@unleadedlogic totally dude that was my inspiration was it ziggy? over at racketboy if he he helped me get started

[unleadedlogic]

@alareac Yup! It was Ziggy! :)

@Fluggy2003 If your into emulation (as your obviously are.) then your comment is valid, but Snes 9X still can't touch the full speed and sound of the original SNES hardware. I prefer to play it on the actual hardware as its 100 percent accurate, but to each their own.

@starblazers1969 fuck what that other guy said just torrent the games... 1 torrent will give u a "FULL SET" IF U SEARCH CORRECTLY its not a big file compressed... its like 600+megbytes (less than the size of a CD) so if space is your concern you can burn it to disk and load it into an emulator (i dont recomend cuz once ur disk scratches ur fucked ive had it happen). peace.

zsnes buffers the sound and video and gets u higher res but seeing this video makes me sad that i gave away my snes. i should've just buaght this flashcart shit..it would have been cool to play games on the snes with its original controller... fuck. :(

zsnes has alot of better quality options and all... but still who doesn't love using that snes controller sony exbox sega dreamcast and all pirated its design for theyre consels xbox even colors theyre buttons like the jap snes controller lmfao..

[TwoXSmokeX]

I want it but its way to much :(

@starblazers1969 You just search for SNES roms and can download them from various sites. Rom Nation is a good one. Some may be harder to find because some sites won't list certain games because of copyright claims. Apparently it's illegal though to have the roms if you don't own the physical games. That never seemed to stop anyone in the past though.

[starblazers1969]

Where do you get the games? Is the web site included when you buy this product?

[johneymute]

got the powerpak and it works including dsp1 games,too bad the megaman series do,nt work becouse iof their c4 chip,BUT i,ve readed that the cx4 chip was used for effect the snes allready can do,so i was thinking if some one could be able to reverse the roms to the point to identify the cx4 code and then replace that code for the code that can tell the snes ppu to do all those spacial effects instead.this way the megaman series can be theoritically compatible with the powerpak!!

My thoughts: "Demon Crest, there's a hard son-of-a-bitch."

Him: "Let's Demon Crest."

Well then.
