SNES Mini Classic

Yeah, it's completely ridiculous.

Just use your phone charger? Or plug it into the USB port in the TV/X-Box/Receiver/Sky/USB hub.

 

[Bluecube]

You can plug them into any USB port on your TV. I started off using a phone charger before discovering this trick. However, I would’ve preferred a plug to be included.

 

[Converge]

Ah cool OK, i'll do that! Sorry haven't actually opened it yet, just saw the big message stating you need an AC adapter!

 

[adam cool dude]

Just plug it into a USB port. Looks a bit lost next to my GameCube and N64. Really hope for a mini N64 next year!

 

[ShiWarrior]

phone charger wall socket will do fine

 

[Raymond Lin]

I got mine plugged into the USB port in the TV, wasn't using it anyway so might as well.

Permanently or disconnecting when not in use?

I might pack it away when finished with it.

Missed the boat with the pre-orders

I know it's wrong to encourage profiteers, sad to say I have just bought one off eBay.

I reasoned that overpricing was not too bad (£20) £99 in all, we'll see if it turns up.

I'm hoping that isn't the case... there could genuinely be an issue as Tesco seems to have corrupted my address a bit on the order - on the e-mail I've got from them today it has my flat number and block number but on the order details when I log into their site they've not got the flat number displaying and have stuck some random zeros in front of the block number for whatever reason... I wonder if there is some label on the package with an incomplete address somehow

Nice to see the scalpers making next to nothing after fee's and delivery.

I would get in contact with DPD if you have a tracking and see if you can correct it.

The recent announcement that Nintendo will be making lots more seem to have worked.

Edit: SNES not bricked; just not working through an audio visual receiver. Trouble shooting required.

Mine didn't work through my Denon, had to plug it straight in to the TV.

Very odd. Denon supports 720p output.

Edit: Found this post which is about the NES mini classic, which is the exact same internal chipset:

The NES Mini outputs in 8bit RGB while the front HDMI only supports YCbCr420.

 

[montymint]

That's odd, works fine through my denon

 

[VincentHanna]

Through the front?

Apparently it works fine in the back

 

[montymint]

Haven't tried the front yet - but I will when I get out of bed. I had a spare port in the back of mine from my old sky box, which worked instantly.
