I can't tell how nice it is to play mario world on the snes classic with a wireless snes pad on a lazy Sunday. I've dreamed of something like this for ages.

I've done it. Once. In 25 years of playing it.
Where can one acquire said wireless SNES controller?

Their SNES30 paired with an NES retro receiver with the most recent firmware.
That's the coolest, good to know thanks.

So do we know when therell be a restock? Ive called/visited every store in middle TN and had no luck. Anybody in TN and know of a hookup?
Be careful when you say NES retro receiver.
8bitdo also sells a product that plugs into a regular NES controller port and allows you to use wireless controllers. Obviously thats not what you want. Make sure it says nes classic and/or look at the pic and make sure it plugs into the Wii port.
Mine works fine. Charges and QCF/QCB all good, dicey on SRK but I think thats more of the input polling for the game than the controller.
Tested 3,5,20 feet away, with direct line of sight and objects in the way.
The one thing with the NES classic hack was that the games werent listed in the same row as the originals. There was an icon for an other folder that took you to another screen with the added games. Its not a big deal but just something to note.

Yeah sorry, the one that plugs into the NES Classic.

Not true, you could set it up that way in a separate folder, have it seamlessly with your other NES games, or a ton of other display options.

Today marks 26 years since the first time I played an SNES - at my friend's birthday.
We stayed up all night playing Mario World, it was wonderful.
It was a very difficult 2 month and 11 day wait until my birthday when I got my SNES.
Absolutely love this system.

I can give a very solid endorsement to the Hori Fighting Commander. Comes with the wireless dongle and is only $25. Got my set at gamestop. They are officially licenced.
Buttons are setup for 6 face buttons which makes Street Fighter a dream.

Started playing Final Fantasy 6 for the first time. Seeing the opening credits sequence where the three mech suits march through the snowy mountain area made me want a remake of this game in the style of Project Octopath Traveller even more.

It's Sunday. Just wait until tomorrow to start calling. Though, if it's anything like the NES Classic, calling aint gonna help. You may actually have to physically go to the stores to snag one as they're not likely to hold one for you. It's first come first serve.

Can I flip flop between an NES30 on a NES Classic and a SNES30 on a SNES Classic using the same receiver? Without re-pairing every time, of course.
Absolutely just move the receiver.
Sadly mine no longer works.
I was playing Super Mario RPG, pressed the reset button, and then got no resoonse from my controller.
Turned it off, turned it back on, still no response.
Console boots up fine its just neither controller will work anymore. Maybe the ports are no longer getting power?
Weirdly it was working fine yesterday and Friday. Id say be careful when pressing the reset button but i dont know if that even makes a difference.
Either way have to send it to Nintendo and it'll be a 2-3 weeks. Hopefully they can salvage my save data.

US or Euro model for curiosity sake.

US model, strangely i cant find anyone else with this issue so it could be rare
And if you kept them all in one single row, you lost save state functionality. So sure, I was wrong. You COULD do it. But you wouldnt want to.

Only if you went way overboard with how many you had. I added about 20 games to the NES Mini, kept it one row, and all was fine.
On SNES Mini, I'll be adding about 10, maybe 12, so I should be fine there too.

Please follow these steps to sync the controller:
1. Insert the receiver dongle into the SNES Classic console USB port.
2. LED light on receiver will blink red.
3. Press and hold the Start button on the controller for 3 seconds.
4. LED on receiver will stop blinking.
5. Controller sync is complete.
even though this was noticeably absent from the included instructions, I still feel kinda dumb. it's been working great now.

How are the diagonals in SF2T? Heard a lot of complaints about them, it's had me considering cancelling my order. Can you pull off specials easily?

So how much free space is there on these things for 'adding' games? I know the total is 512MB.

So I assume the Wii Classic controller works on this just like it does with the NES Classic? One of the nice things about using the Wii Classic controller is that the home button acts as the reset button. Also, my ThinkGeek order from Friday is still processing... Ive had four SNES Classic preorders cancelled thus far so Im very curious how things will go Monday

I have a few extra games added from when the NES Classic was first hacked, they appear in the same row as all the other games and save states absolutely do work.
Which power adapter were you using? Have you tried a different one?
It does indeed; I'm using a Classic Controller Pro right now for just that reason.

I heard something like 300mb free space. Enough for all the really good games and then a few guilty pleasures.

What would be just as massive as getting Star Fox 2 to officially play on the system, is if somehow Wing Commander 2 which was due to get a release on the system but was cancelled, a prototype which could then be added to play on the SNES-Mini would be brilliant..!!!
From what is known it was all ready for release back in 1994-1995, and is a completely different take on the original PC release...

I apologise for the ignorance, but when newer games are able to be added to the system, will they work seamlessly with the rest of the console, with the same functionality (e.g. save states, ability to rewind, cartridge art), or would it be obvious that they've been added later and be missing those features?
There's a few classics I'd love to add, but for them to not be implemented seamlessly might bother me too much for me to try.
Not sure my question makes any sense, I know what I mean
Was this anwered yet?
If I remember correctly with regards to the NES mini, everything would work exactly as with the preloaded games except for the attract mode demo (that runs when you leave the console on idle) skipping the additional games. This is assuming you put box art on it using the tools provided as far as the art showing up goes I believe.
That said, I've not kept up with developments nor tried adding games on either console so far (partly because of the fear I might screw up the OS / factory settings, even if people back then told me that this is very unlikely to happen) and would like to get confirmation / additional info on whether things will be the same with the SNES mini and whether the attract mode issue has ever been improved.
Edit: sorry, it seems Robin64 answered already. No mention of the attract mode issue but I'll assume that this now works as well or that people mostly don't care about it (unlike me). I'll also stop adding to the derail of discussing modding by the way; apologies.

I have a poster? Oh man I bet it's folded to with the manual I never opened...?!
I was just reading into it. Its still an issue. Save states are limited when you do it. Glad you havent had a problem yet and Im gonna experiment.

I support the thread title update.
"Stop asking modding questions."
Seriously, there are amazing games on this thing - let's talk about them.

I think only 5% of the posts in this thread have been about games. Mostly about stock, modding, and controllers/sound stuff :-(
Yeah, somebody had suggested a game-talk only OT, but here we are.
Wouldn't mind having individual game OTs for this thing. Lots of folks getting to rediscover some classics.

Can someone recommend me a good site/guide/walk through for Secret of Mana? I'm looking to 100% it, and would love one that has Maps, an item checklist by area, etc.
Starmen.net has me spoiled. I've been using that site along with my Earthbound guide to play and it's been an amazing experience.
I beat SoM 4-5 times as a kid, but it's been 15+ years and I'd love to get everything in one go.
