    and the door has just gone, it's a man with an official SNES controller. Finally my setup is complete.

    one RGB NTSC NES with two official controllers
    one all-region Super Famicom with one official controller
    one XRGBmini upscaler
    two HDMI cables
    two scart cables
    one scart switch box
    one HDMI switch box
    one scart to JP21 converter
    one UK NES AC adaptor
    one Megadrive AC adaptor
    one NES everdrive flashcart
    one SD2SNES flashcart
    45 NES carts
    7 SNES carts
    One English XRGBmini controller overlay

    Up till today I've been switching cables in and out of everything and using an aftermarket SNES pad with a 1ft cable which I had to take apart and fix as soon as I got it. One foot cable ffs. I was practically in my TV.

    Now when I hook all this up I should have access to every single NES, Famicom, Super Famicom and SNES game (except Action 52, L'Empereur, Stunt Race FX, Mario RPG, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Kirby 3 and a few obscure other SNES & NES titles), on original hardware, at 720p, within a button push or two.

    Oh fuck, I've still got hack some more shit off my super famicom. I'll do that tonight as well.

    What did all that cost me?

    about £1,400 I reckon.

    Or you can do the same thing with a Raspberry Pi for about £25.

    LOL
