+stupus Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I will take one as well! Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 So we are up to five? Anybody else? Winter is lurking nearby and a warm soldering iron is good for getting warm fingers again. ? I think I'm going to order some SCART-cables and some DIN-Connectors soon. Maybe we can organize shipping in a cheaper way, if I put all US-bound cables into one box and you dispatch nationally. Probably shipping within the US is cheaper? What do you think? DHL tracked parcels from Germany to US are currently charged with something like US$15. -Rolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm personally fine with $15 for shipping. It's a lot, but worth it for such a hard to get item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we have three in line right now: @Yosikuma, @CommodoreCEO and @Bill Loguidice. Yes! Sorry for the late reply... I've been away and busy with work lately. I'll definitely take one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Super Cassette Lady Vision + 26 boxed games listed on eBay for $6209.90 (yes, you read that right - just over six thousand dollars). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194500388155 * Operation unconfirmed * Due to aging, the cord and a part of the surface of the main body are melted and scratched. Ladies' set of Epoch's game machine "Super Cassette Vision". I don't know if it will work now because there is no TV that can display it. Please treat it as junk. Operation cannot be guaranteed for 26 game cassettes as they cannot be checked for operation. As one of the collections Also, why not buy one who knows how to repair? Sure, it is a rare edition of a uncommon console with an entire (?) collection of boxed games but the price is hefty to say the least. In particular if you consider that the standard SCV just a handful of years ago was one of the cheapest to collect for - in line with 2600 - with the exception for some of the top of the line games. I know that the market has changed a lot recently but still... If the console was in very good condition, tested working I almost could see a figure perhaps around $2000-$3000. Then again the seller does take offers so possibly it is available at a far lower price than the one set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I just ordered connectors for ten Super Cassette Vision DIN8-to-SCART-cables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Meanwhile, I just noticed that Inufuto added his 34th (if I kept count) system he is porting his games to, the Super Cassette Vision (furthest down the list). To begin with, here is Mazy: http://inufuto.web.fc2.com/8bit/mazy/#scv I'm sure more will follow, he has some 8-9 different games to port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This is great news. The library could use some new titles! Sorry no progress in making the SCART cables. I had to many non-retro things going on the last couple of weeks. I had no real motivation to sit down and solder things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosikuma Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 So dumb question: there seem to be a few homebrews for the system. Is there a flash media solution or something in order to play these games on actual hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I think some multicart solutions let you swap EPROM, so you could program one with new games and change the chip. Not quite as smooth as a flashable solution but better than nothing in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the games are available on carts from here: https://team-europe.blogspot.com/2021/04/super-cassette-vision-project-finished.html They work well for me.

Yosikuma Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 As seen here: https://www.jauce.com/auction/p1038814095 I have seen here and there, several SCV systems with Super Famicom controllers swapped into the system. Does anyone know about these? How would one go about doing this without spending $200+ to get a new system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I believe that might be a question for @Rolo who already built his own controllers for the SCV: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/315672-super-cassette-vision-detachable-joysticks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well, I don't know the wiring of the Famicom controllers, but in the end, there is not much inside the SCV-controllers, except switches and two diodes. You could attach almost any joystick with a little bit of modification. Maybe you really check out the post mentioned above to see how it works.

Does anyone know about these? How would one go about doing this without spending $200+ to get a new system? The Super Famicom controller uses a really basic serial connection with 3 wires (Latch in, Clock in, Data out) like so: Based on https://atariage.com/forums/topic/315672-super-cassette-vision-detachable-joysticks/ it looks like the SCV uses a sort of keyboard matrix for its controllers (6 pairs for each controller). A microcontroller or a few chips could break the SNES data into parallel lines going into something like an 8-channel analog switch to short the 5 SCV controller wires. Should be a simple enough electronics project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
