So, today I tried to hook up my SNES, inserted a game and the console started up but all I got was a black screen.

The console is clearly on power, as evidenced by the red light. It's a PAL one and I connected it through a generic composite video cable. The TV also reacts to it when I turn it on but all I get is this black screen.

Any idea how to fix this?
Side note: My N64 and PS1 work.

Hey guys I need some /vr/ certified tips

I'm playing this for the first time. It's also my first SH game and I'm loving it so far, I just need to know a few things.

Is it intended for me to fight most enemies or run from most enemies and only fight when I have to? I feel like I'm burning through resources, but running away from everything doesn't feel like the way the game was supposed to be played.

Also any general tips on what weapons to use, and how to kill stuff efficiently would be great. I'm pretty early on in the game by the way, just put the medallions in the clock tower of the school

What's the most convenient way to convert a VGA output from a laptop into component/composite/s-video? I want to run emulators on my CRT.

Of these Final Fantasies, which is the best? I've already played IV, VI, and VII, so disregard those.

Also Final Fantasy thread I guess.

Hey guys, can we have a thread dedicated to interesting articles or interviews about retro vidya?

I'll start by posting This 1989 discussion between Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Horii.

>always hated metroidvanias
>everyone says how perfect super metroid is
Perfect games don't exi..
>play this


And I still don't like metroidvanias but Super Metroid is probably by far the best one in the genre so it doesn't really matter. I don't even know what to say. The graphics, the music, the atmosphere, the controls, the level design, the game progression, no handholding - forcing the player to learn trough the level design, the game is just masterfully crafted.

ITT: Thoughts on the Everdrive 64 v3

A custom N64 flashcart cartridge that can play all PAL, NTSC-U & NTSC-J roms on any N64 console WITHOUT EMULATION! We are essentially bypassing the dodgy N64 emulation options by using real hardware with real software, albeit software from roms. No slowdown, no glitchiness, no emulation jank.

It allows us to have nearly 100% compatability with all N64 games ever released worldwide, allows us to play N64 software with our authentic controllers, allows us to quickly use the inbuilt gameshark feature to unlock everything or activate cheats etc., and it allows us to play many modded, homebrew, unreleased and demo games on official hardware.

These mods include:
- Banjo-Kazooie, thanks to the community over at Banjo's Backpack who have crafted many new levels and games in the Banjo-Kazooie engine
- Goldeneye, thanks to the community at GoldeneyeVault, who bring us 85 new multiplayer levels, 93 new singleplayer levels, and most importantly, GOLDENEYE X - which is Goldeneye multiplayer in the more powerful Perfect Dark Engine.
- Perfect Dark mods
- F-Zero mods
- Diddy Kong racing mods
- Etc.

Now my questions to all of /vr/ are:
1) What do you think of the Everdrive N64 v3
2) Do you think it's the perfect way to play N64 roms as it circumvents janky emulation
3) If you had the money, and wanted to buy something really special for your SO who loves the N64, would you buy this as a gift

Cheers guys, some links with more info below.
