SNES

Introduction
A favorite of retro-gamers, many consider it to be the best system of all time due to it being the strongest 16-bit console (other than the Neo Geo but very few had that (unless you were rich as fuck)) and a lot of companies really pushed it to its limits! The library really backs it up there, and it has something for everybody, especially in the RPG category. SNES is recommended over SFC because it's just easier to mod, though the SFC looks better and you could just buy a converter.

For portable SNES gaming, check out the SupaBoy or wait for the RetroDuo Portable. (The FC-16 Go is an older, cheaper alternative, but no longer recommended as it has region tabs and inferior build quality).

For flashcarts, the absolute best recommendation is the SD2SNES, without question. The firmware is consistently updated and has the largest ROM support of any SNES flashcarts. A secondary recommendation (though less so), is the Retrozone Powerpak, which is a bit cheaper and high wuality build, but doesn't support as many ROMs and is also harder to manage files and saves.

Romhacks and Translations can be found at romhacking.net under the relevant sections. Although you might luck out and find a pre-patched translated Rom image along with the original versions if you don't know how to correctly patch a rom.

Final Notice
Satellaview games and Romhacks are slowly being built. If you have a good one we haven't heard of, be sure to contribute or let us know in the discussion page!

SNES
Includes games released in North America and Europe. Japanese-only Super Famicom games are found below this table.

Super Famicom


These are for the Japan-only SFC games. A good chunk of these are translated. Some aren't, and then there's those that don't even need translations.

BS-X Satellaview


Imagine being a vidya playing kid in 1995, and someone told you that you could play legal and exclusive games from THE INTERNET on your SNES/SFC. Anywhere but Japan, you'd think they were crazy, but in lucky ol' Japan, this was quite a reality. You can learn more about the nitty-gritty elsewhere, as this table is all about the vidya that was on it.

NOTE: A lot of games on the Satellaview were either broadcast versions of cart games (like BS Harvest Moon), or were popular enough to warrant a Nintendo Power or commercial release later (like BS Shin Onigashima)... this list should only apply to games that ONLY appeared on Satellaview. Those games can probably be found in their relevant section.

Romhacks


Like the NES, the SNES also has a number of romhacks to improve and/or modify a game's aspects or make an entirely new game on the game's engine, sometimes with new graphics and music. Some of these "new games" tend to be quite the challenge, so approach with caution. Everything else should explain what you're getting into just fine.
