The 'SupaBoy S' is the perfect way to enjoy Super Nintendo games on the go!

Looks nice, but i don't think, that it could play my european games good. The "RetroDuo Portable" played my games a little bit different than the snes, because it is designed for us games :/
I'm happy with Snes9x 3DS

 

[Cha0tic]

Damn, and I just got the previous modeL last year.

 

[DarthDub]

All they had to do was release it with a 480p HDMI out... But they had to go and fuck that up.

The PSP's 480x272 screen ratio is 16:9, not 4:3.

4 point 3 inch sized screen. Learn to read.

The machine is manufactured in the UK, is region free and even has a switch to choose between PAL and NTSC. All this is in the opening post.

Still, bit expensive given given the homebrew capabilities of modern handhelds.

Pretty cool? But my psp phat from the 2000s was the best snes I ever carried around.

- Is this an ad?
- What's the LCD's resolution?
- Is the LCD TN or IPS?
- Does it have HDMI out?
- Does it run Android?
- Which processor does it have? How much RAM?
- It's too expensive

These are the answers we must have.

Henkaku enabled Vita FTW as far as portable SNES emulation goes.

For those people questioning its (SupaBoy) compatibilty with special chip games - it's the chip in the cartridge that is hard for flashcarts to emulate, this thing will likely play any existing official SNES/SFC cartridge as it is probably as system-on-a-chip hardware clone.

Also someone a couple pages back mentioned SD2SNES doesn't work with SA-1 or SFX games, but there's actually only about 10 good games that use those chips, so it shouldn't put you off, just buying original copies of Eathbound and Harvest Moon would more than exceed the cost of an SD2SNES.

I will wait a Hackable Nintendo Switch

They should have used the Super Famicom/PAL coloring, it looks much more appealing.

Not to mention with how much the cartridge sticks out this thing is far from portable unless you're using an Super Everdrive. I don't play handhelds in public much unless I'm on a long train ride but if I had the choice between chucking my 3DS in my bag and this together with a couple of large cartridges in my bag I'd chose my 3DS.

Would be better if it had it's own Everdrive-type device built in and just required an SD card with your ROMs on it. The device would be instantly more portable and wouldn't look so awkward with a cartridge in.

 

[Pluupy]

$125?! I'll stick with my DSTwo and PSP emulators, thank you.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

So this thing is an emulator but uses real cartridges? Not much point in it then. Just use a PSP, Android or whatever this seems overpriced and has the purple buttons.

Specially since the New 3ds can run SNES VC games.

The normal 3DS got SNES VC too.

I hate seeing this 'cause Bandai Namco said on Twitter European customers would receive Super Butoden 2 too although it never happened. It kinda is possible though,if one purchases the New 3DS Extreme Butoden bundle.

"Just 99.99 Pound" Whaaat ?

Nothx... I prefer the RetroDuoPortable... at least it supports the Super Retro Advance natively...

 

[FragrantGingerCalamari]

StarFox?

 

[Mikemk]

StarFox?

Yes, it would play StarFox if you have an actual StarFox cartridge or flashcart with SA1

 

[FragrantGingerCalamari]

Yes, it would play StarFox if you have an actual StarFox cartridge or flashcart with SA1

That means it could play Yoshi's Island.

 

[Mikemk]

That means it could play Yoshi's Island.

Yes, it could, it's an actual SNES miniaturized with a screen attached, using actual cartridges.

 

[FragrantGingerCalamari]

Yes, it could, it's an actual SNES miniaturized with a screen attached, using actual cartridges.

Cool!

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Yes, it could, it's an actual SNES miniaturized with a screen attached, using actual cartridges.

Just a shame about the purple buttons but there's supposedly coming a PAL/JP version out too.
