Which firmware is better?
it's what you prefer, the first experimental has 3 extra functions: realtime savestate (not working in every game), Gameboy roms support and Gameboy Color roms support, but not tested as good as the second fw option.
furious firmware is based on mrehkopf firmware, so the functions they share should be as good as they can be. mrehkopf is also linked to disigning the hardware, so mrekopf is more reliable.
i didn't stresstest the furious fw yet, but so far it works like charm.

When did you buy it? Where and how much?

I bought it when it was readily available on the company's web site. No idea why they stop making stuff though. By now I forgot how much I paid. All I remember is I sold a CIB snes system (which didn't have the original deck included because it was yellowed and fucking ugly) and that pretty much paid off the entire Analogue Super NT. A guy called "spoonman" says that the original SNES decks are dying these days and he doesn't recommend even buying one. I don't think he has an Analogue Super NT though.

Do you recommend paying extra for it like 500-1000? Hehe I regret not buying it in December.

It really depends how much you like SNES I guess. I generally try not to pay more than MSRP for stuff and usually pay for stuff when on sale. Except for this, since I knew it would never have a sale price and also yeah the shipping cost was more than I thought it needed to be but it didn't break the bank.

That purple SNES is in great shape, but personally, I'd go for the Japanese SNES with an adapter than the U.S. one. Never liked that kiddy color scheme.

Ewww! Purple console from America. UGLY! Go with Europe SNES since you are in EUROPE. Looks much cooler than America version. Here:

The PAL/JPN definitely looks better for most of the world, but folks in U.S. and Canada, they grew up with the purple one so they tend to favor that one.

Design aside, the USA model runs the games correctly whereas the EUR model doesn't due to being PAL. It can be modified to run at 60, too.

I did buy the latest version FXpak pro. I am worried that I dont have snes system yet hehe and after I these flash carts I learned that snes hardware is another world hehe too many models.
Out of curiosity, are you going to play it on a CRT or HD TV?

Crtv because it is cheaper and maybe easy to find nicer models. I already have one but the quality of it is ok and it is not flat tv unfortunately.

There is also big flat crtv at home but it is inside a room outside of the house And I dont have a place for it.

If it were HD, I was going to say this is what you should have went for (well, something like it) as it's a lot more convenient:

That was exactly my thought as well.

Plus considering the fact that the Purple SNES in the first post is in REALLY good condition makes it even more interesting.
It is becoming increbibly rare to not find a yellowed unit heck even the stock stickers are still there.
