    Play Japanese copies with translation patches was precisely why I ended up getting a Retron 5 - now to start making some progress on these RPGs :)

    I just picked up all the Dragon Quest, Final fantasy, Ys, and Seiken Densetsu games for Super Famicom. This video was super helpful, and I love that you linked right to the patch files! Downloading as we speak! Thanks!

    Just a quick note to give my appreciation for this video. I thought I was in trouble when I didn't get the "Game Specific Settings" menu option for my Japanese version of Chrono Trigger. However, a quick firmware update remedied that. Should be a blast to complete this game that I failed to do in 1995. Better late than never. Thanks again!

    Very cool feature, especially in how easy it makes the process. I'd never considered picking up games from different regions before but I can see my ebay spending habits doubling once I pick up this bit of kit. Another good vid, cheers Gemma!.

    I got the 8BITDO controller I mentioned it in your last vid. It works as a great replacement for the Retron5 controller. No wires, no terribly shaped controller. Looks just like a SNes controller and feels great.

    Make a translation adapter, so we can plug in the Japanese SF, and at the same time add Famicom games, Floppy disc games and a better SuperGameBoy player all in one, that would be cool to have.
    So it can play Famicom, Nintendo, Super Famicom and at the same time translate them.
