(Part 2) Top products from r/nesclassicmods

Good catch with 2.4g vs. bluetooth, I always forget about that.

The biggest differences between each 8bitdo line are aesthetics and features such as rumble, analog sticks, motion controls, triggers and turbo:

• The SN30 is a base model that only features a d-pad, face buttons and a set of L and R buttons on the top. It resembles a SNES/SFC controller and works over Bluetooth and USB-C.
  
  
• The SN30 Pro takes the SN30 form factor and adds rumble, analog sticks, motion controls, turbo, and a second set of triggers. Still works over Bluetooth and USB-C.
  
  
• The NS30 Pro 2 has all the features of a SN30 Pro controller with a slightly different layout. The second set of shoulder buttons are set inside the first set.
  
  
• The SN30 Pro+ is a SN30 Pro controller in a form factor that adds grips similar to a Sony Dualshock controller. Still works over Bluetooth and USB-C.
  
  Features
  
  It all boils down to what features you want. The SN30 is a great replacement for a stock SNES/NES controller and is about $10 US cheaper than the other models. The Pro and Pro+ will also work great with the NES Classic, and will allow you to play PS1 games that require analog sticks.
  
  Aesthetics
  
  8bitdo has a number of color variants for each of their lines that have no effect on how the controllers operate. The SN30 GP line are a set of SN30 controllers stylized like the original Game Boy Pocket line. There's no functional difference between a SN30 and SN30 GP controller other than how it looks. The SN30 Pro line has two options: One that matches the original Game Boy and another that looks like a U.S. Super Nintendo controller.
  
  And there's the newer NS30 Pro2, which has an NES option that should match well with the NES Classic.
  
  ---
  
  For me, I like the SN30 Pro because it's a good compromise with the SNES controller form factor combined with modern features. The triggers aren't great for modern games, so I only really use my SN30 Pro for emulators and retro-style games.
  
  I already own a set of Dualshock 4 controllers, so I didn't see a need to have grips on my 8bitdo controller. But if I were using an 8bitdo controller as my daily controller, I would strongly consider getting the SN30 Pro+ for the added grips.
  
  8bitdo doesn't do a great job at describing the differences between each of their controller lines. Some sort of feature grid would be extremely helpful.

It can definitely be done. Just a matter of finding a powered USB OTG cable.

Something along the lines of this:

Hardware wise, connecting usb storage while charging is easy. Getting the software to play nice is a different task.

or you could've just copied the list here...

OTG Adapters for the NES/SNES Classic: Inateck:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Inateck-3-Port-USB-2-0-OTG-Hub-Adapter-Cable-SD-Card-Reader-for-Smartphone/602986265
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8
Note: Only the USB 2.0 version is compatible with the NES/SNES Classic out of the box. You would need an adapter for the USB-C version to connect to the NESC/SNESC, and whether it actually would work is currently unknown.

Also, be aware that it uses its own power cable instead of the NES/SNES Classic's USB cable, and it is very short (roughly 12-14 inches long).Consider getting an extension USB cable or using an extension cord.

TUSITA ("octopus" style): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM
This one has been reported as working for many people, but can also reportedly break easily.

Simpler OTGs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCZ2FQQ
OTGs like these have only one port for USB. A simple choice if you only want to use USB and not wifi...or vice versa.

We do not recommend the small angled adapter featured on snesclassicmods.com and elsewhere. It looks great, but easily loses data connection at the slightest nudge.

Some capture devices say they record directly to SD, like this one, but I've never used any of them, so I can't speak to how good they are.

This is the best one I can find. I recently ordered it and it's coming today.

There is a HW repair (solder) by cluster. Seek it in this sub or on his site. The issue with 3d party lies in the signal quality. So you have to solder a diod if I recall correctly.
I think you can go for hori controllers. They work great with the nes mini unmodded. Check youtube.

those rock on the Nes mini.

> huh, I️ wonder why.

Because they've got new models coming in February 2018 to coincide with the Analogue Super NT.

• Black
  
• Classic
  
• SF
  
• Transparent

I have the UART connection soldered in so it lets me look through the directories and backup saves if I needed to. It's pretty easy to solder in a UART connection as the pads are decently sized and then I just use a UART to USB cable and Putty to connect.

You could retrieve your saves by compiling Madmonkey's latest hakchi build which has a NAND dump feature.

thank you!

just to double check and show others who have the same issue as me in the future, its this one right?

edit: fixed URL, same product though

No but holy shit that looks amazing! I may have to pickup the physical copy of that one. I got the Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics back when i came out a few months ago. Its a damn good book as well, but this Ultimate Guide seems to blow it out of the water.

I tried both of these:

Portta HDMI to HDMI Mini Audio Extractor Converter v1.3 Stereo SPDIF Digital support 1080p LPCM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HIW7TZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oSdyzb1K0B8PY

Tendak 4K x 2K HDMI to HDMI and Optical TOSLINK SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo Audio Extractor Converter HDMI Audio Splitter Adapter(HDMI Input, HDMI + Digital / Analog Audio Output) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017B6WFP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YSdyzbNZCW0VS

I bought this RDS Industries NES Classic Edition Carrying Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFRCWF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_yhQw26EJxHILs

I have no regrets. Everything fit perfectly and it has a hard shell

You can try this, for just under 10 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Zettaguard-Classic-Controller-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B003ANMB6A/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1496012451&sr=1-3&keywords=wii+classic+controller

I believe it's the same one I use, though it could be an off brand.

This is the one I have but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I was going to use an RCA to headphone adapter or something to get the audio.

I am currently using this. I haven't experienced any issues yet, and even the Home button works to take back to main screen. I don't like the button layout however, just feels wonky.

This is what I am using. Works well and all of the buttons work on SNES games. ( Street Fighter, Killer instinct etc..) https://www.amazon.com/Old-Skool-Classic-Controller-WiiU-White/dp/B00VBW7N9C/ref=sr_1_10?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1492606875&sr=1-10&keywords=wii+pro+controller
