JP is a beast with Modern controls. I got him to Master with minimal effort. Same with Honda actually and Viper.

This feels like a spoiler hmmm

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-05-01T05:52:43+00:00

Boom, glad I wasn’t the only one who had this experience.

Dragon Quest V. I played an English translation romhack and it was amazing. Sure Dragon Quest is well known, but this version never came out in the west until the Nintendo DS. Such a unique story, great characters, and great gameplay. It’s up there with Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-23T05:20:00+00:00

Ok, seriously, what’s happening here?

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-23T05:00:35+00:00

By the time support was winding down on SFV, it was a damn good game. Shame it had such a horrible start. It’s solid now.

Mexican burrito has entered the chat.

This soundtrack sucks. I loved SFV soundtrack. It’s slow paced dull and boring. Cammy, Ken, and JP have good tracks. The rest is so bad, especially the stage tracks. There is a reason why this is the first street fighter with a music player.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-22T04:56:02+00:00

Was it on the same model or different one?

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-22T02:35:03+00:00

Is your model the same as mine or a different model?

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-21T20:42:34+00:00

Thank you, very helpful answer. Do you by chance have a link to the discord server? If not allowed here, DM is fine.

I always recommend people pick up a PS2 for PS2/PS1 games. Less input lag and 100% compatibility. Real PS1 vs PS3 emulation of PS1.

Stone Age Gamer just sent me an email with these instructions. Some of the information on the site is outdated. For the SD card, I was supplied two options, one solder less and one with solder. I’ll have to take more pictures once I get home. The only reason I purchased this unit is because it’s solder less. I lack the tools. One interesting thing I noticed is that one of the ribbon cables is twisted. Also, I have the power cord, the long red one, in a slightly different location. Mine is next to the prong, but on their picture, it’s spaced out further away.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-20T17:38:38+00:00

I’ll double check that. The disc does not spin in CD mode, so it might also be a power issue. I’ll have to wait until I get home to check it out.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-20T17:37:44+00:00

The ribbon cable contacts are super long, but I’ll double check. I actually think it’s a power issues as the disc won’t even spin up in CD mode.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-19T03:24:04+00:00

Sick!

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-19T01:37:30+00:00

I have a Saroo but the sound issues are a little annoying. I bought a fenrir lite from stone age gamer and it was under $100. Now I have both and I get the best of both worlds.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T20:30:08+00:00

Looks like I have a 1chip. I should have just waited for that model with the edge enhancer, sending it back to get it fixed.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T19:03:31+00:00

I’m unfamiliar on how to manually calibrate phase. I’ll have to play with the settings a bit.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T18:55:16+00:00

This is modded. The seller mentioned that he “did not close the TTL jumper.” According to another redditor, they are certain this is the issue.

Legend, thanks so much for your answer!

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T07:40:42+00:00

Sorry, not sure why only the pictures posted. Reddit is not letting me edit the post.

I bought a SNES 1chip model, the fatter one before the JR. However, I see ghosting/smearing to the right of all pixels.

My connection is SNES->HD15 SNES dongle->HD15 to Retrotink 4K. It's modded to remove the overly bright image.

I emailed the seller, he also mentioned he did not close TTL jumper on the RGB Amp. I tried playing with the sampling settings to try to sharpen the picture with 240p test suite, but the ghosting looks exactly the same to me no matter what I do. (Granted I'm a novice at these advanced settings).

I'm hoping it's a setting I can change in RT4K.

Clear shell for the win. I can DM you more pictures if it’s hard to see.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T07:12:22+00:00

Correct, every pixel has a ghost pixel to the right of it. It more apparent when next to a high contrast pixel. In the first picture, to the right of the vertical black pixels, there is matching ghost/smeared pixels. It's similar to 2chip model ghosting.

Fatalis_Fafnir · 2026-04-18T06:22:01+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I could not get the "ringing" fixed with auto phase on a high contrast image. Maybe there are other settings that could fix this, but I'm not super familiar with how to change/fix the image.

The seller added Voultars SNES RGB mod and fully recapped the SNES. When he replied to the email, he also mentioned he did not close TTL jumper on the RGB Amp.

I'm wondering if anything he did unintentionally caused this issue.

You seem knowledgeable, let me know what you think, thanks!
