Playing SNES games with mouse, joystick, and controller! Super Nintendo Retrospective

In this video, I play a lot of classic SNES games, and try out my more unusual peripherals for it -- the Quickshot joystick and the SNES mouse.

The SNES has probably my favourite library of titles of any console ever released. Originally developed in 1990 as the Super Famicom, this is the 1992 European PAL edition. Using the 16-bit 65C816 processor, like the Apple IIgs, it is backwards compatible with the earlier 6502 processor, allowing many NES games to be ported to it easily. It contains 128KB of general purpose RAM and 64KB of separate VRAM.

In addition to a Super Everdrive to load ROMs from SD card, and a lot of game cartridges, I also have a sync-on-luma SCART cable for clearer video and several controller peripherals that I test in this video. My console is in generally good condition and plays well.

I have fitted a superCIC chip to this to enable greater compatibility with NTSC ROMs and ROMs from other regions.
