The Supaboy - New SNES handheld from Hyperkin

[JSnake]

Yeah, my EB cart works perfectly fine on my SupaBoy as well.

After seeing the pokefami DX in action I have to say to all users here, check it out instead. The screen warmth appeared more natural looking and the form and size of the system is pretty good. I might buy one myself eventually.

I haven't heard anything from Hyperkin about the status of my Supaboy (I will email Lawrence...right now!), but my Pokefami DX finally shipped, after almost a week and a half after I placed the order (there was some confusion about whether I wanted the fami/md adapters right away, which I don't.) Looks like it's right on track to get here by the end of January.

Wonder which one will arrive first?

Where's the best place to buy a Pokefami DX?

right now, ebay and Amazon are your only options; eBay is the cheapest list price at about $135 + shipping. Search my posts and you'll find a link to the current auction, which doesn't list them as pokefami dxes, but Super Famicoms.

I just received my Supaboy from Stone Age Gamer, and the high pitch noise is godawful, which even plays through headphones... I also seem to get some weird lines on the screen playing Star Fox, yet Stunt Rally FX plays just dandy. The unit also doesn't play Mario RPG and Kirby Superstar (I'm 99.9% sure that these are 1st rev.) I'll have to check back up on Yoshi's Island for issues, but none so far. Mario RPG has the number 34 punched in the back label and KSS has a 40 stamped in the back. I bought this assuming I was right with the 1st software revisions on both...

from what i recall, the stamps only mean what factory the games were assembled at, not which revision.

I recently received Kaboomer's copy of Super Mario RPG - one that works on a Supaboy. I don't have my Supaboy to test right now, but I can confirm from watching his video that it's the same cartridge. Having said that, when I opened up both copies of the game that I have, the insides are using the same PCB revision, though the chips look slightly different. I honestly don't know how to differentiate between a clone-compatible copy and a non-working copy. Sigh.
