kidswasted Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Are there any numbers on GEN vs. SNES in the signups? Curious to see if more SNES players are coming out of the woodwork as the site is more catered toward SNES in terms of ROMs and leagues.

There’s about 260 sign ups and it’s around a 61/39 split for in favour of sega registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's geared more towards Genesis is what I meant LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidswasted Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 What’s everyone using for controllers? I was originally using the ibuffalo snes controller for both gens and snes but my left thumb was killing me from pushing the d pad down too hard lol. I started using an Xbox one controller the other day with the joystick and it feels a lot better. Curious to see what others are using.

For SNES, I recommend using an original SNES controller with USB converter. If you don't have one, find one on kijiji or ebay, but make sure it's original and not a cheap reprod. For USB converter, I highly recommend this one. It works great, excellent quality, and matches the SNES purple/grey aesthetic: https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=29&osCsid=5847653417198baa1a153a618bbc8ef2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockwise Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Originally was going to use Philly, but I'll be running MTL after I had some really good exis. 3 shut outs in a row and a couple wins after. Won a league with them back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada, South Carolina and Finland! Wow, congrats, Hali! This could be a great recruitment tool for the community! I hope there is some terrific, unknown talent discovered. Maybe with Corona happening, this will be how King of 94 V will be done? Or is that event certified as "in-person only"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played a few new guys already...some great skils! King of 94 will stay as a live event. SoChel is the online event. I'm not sure if this will be a one time thing or if we'll do it again next year. I guess we'll see how the next couple of weeks go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
