It's nice, but as cacophony said, a lot of work to get implemented. Maybe in the future.

Cowboy up and enter them manually, like our forefathers did.

If you're not going to work to get good at the game, at least put in the work to enter the cheats

Does the image fill the entire screen on an HDTV with this?

You can customize the width and height to be whatever you want in the settings.

Decent is in the eye of the beholder, but it will look stretched compared to setting a 4:3 aspect ratio.

You mean stretched to 16:9 aspect? idk, never tried as the whole point of the SNT is to recreate the original experience (just with better audio/video quality). Stretching an image generally looks horrible IMO.

Yeah you don't want to stretch it out wide. You can definitely make sure it fills from top to bottom though.

So, I hope everyone else haven't had the customer service issue I've had.

Get an email saying my label was generated. Four days later, they still haven't shipped it yet. Sent two emails with no answer and I have no recourse if they decide not to send it to me because they didn't accept PayPal and my bank said there's nothing they can't do because it's an authorized charge. Hopefully I'm not out $230 and I actually get my Super NT, but I'll say this, I'll never buy another Analogue product again with the lack of customer service (especially after charging nearly forty f'n dollars for shipping and it STILL hasn't gone out four (soon to be five) days after tracking was generated...

Yeah, my tracking number was generated a week before it actually shipped. So, why the $48 shipping if it shipped with the slowest UPS ground option? I never got a response from them either. I am not happy with their poor business practices and customer service.

Yep. They can produce the best retro gaming system ever that can play every old 8/16 bit game with original hardware accuracy, but as long as their customer service is shit, they won't see another dime from me... and that's a shame, because I really like Kevtris's work.

How will you hold any leverage by not buying when Analogue doesn't even supply enough to fill their current demand lol that's some funny shit right there.

Oh I know that in the grand scheme of things them losing one lousy customer doesn't mean shit to them, but it's the principle of the matter (and yes, I know that means nothing as well, but they really need to improve the basics of their damn customer service)

Take for instance Bunnyboy. He is a one or two person operation for retrousb and his customer service blows Analogue out of the fucking water. Doesn't provide tracking a week before it fn ships and, even though it may take a couple days, actually replies to CS emails...

No i do actually agee that efficient procedure should be an important aspect it's just that a bizarre situation arises unintentionally.

Nah, totally disagree. They both have reasonably good customer support given their small sizes. Analogue is only ~4 people and is dealing with significantly more orders (~10k units).

I've seen plenty of people complaining to Retrousb on twitter for not getting a response. Stuff happens. Emails get lost in spam folders. A sudden surge of requests causes a 1 person support team to get days behind. Many people (myself included) waited a couple weeks before their AVS preorder was shipped.

This is all perfectly acceptable given the circumstances and as a result most people act reasonably in these situations by exercising some patience.

It's all circumstantial and subjective. I went a whole month not getting my refund from RetroUSB for the two controllers I bought, and they didn't respond to multiple emails. Maybe they were just busy.

As cacophony states above - both are small companies.

The only problem I have with Analog is their cart and checkout service. I don't know if they're dodging taxes, dumping it all into bit coin, or what, but I really hope they give us a better option if they do any more consoles. Their routing payments through china is really flaky.

Pretty much. Ive had times retrousb just never replied, and the opposite where Analogue replied the same day I sent the email. I try to not let it bother me because I know both are small teams, but some of you probably recall the back and forth I had on the AVS forums here about it. So it just depends.

The jailbreak was updated on 3/4 and I never saw that mentioned in the thread. Changelog says it fixes the save issues. Gonna try it...

Yeah, the core save issue is fixed, but one issue remains related to it: Don't use back/cancel to get to the Settings mid game. Use the intended "start" button. If you use "back" it will no longer give you the option to save the sram on menu entry. There's an open issue for this so hopefully it gets fixed in the next version.

Super Nt with jailbeak doesn't find my existing SD2SNES saves for the couple games I launched. I'll have to move the card back to the SD2SNES and make sure the SD2SNES still sees them.

Is anyone else having issues with certain PAL games?
Mine doesn't seem to recognize Twinbee or Asterix & Obelix.
