Three things that I would like to add. One I need to make a correction 
about the region switch.
When the switch is to the left you can play PAL region games. When the 
switch is to the right you can play NTSC games.
Second is that if you don't want to carry around a bunch of cartridges. 
Just get a flash cartridge.
Then you can hold your entire library. The third is for me I play 2D 
fighting games.
I personally have problems playing games where you can move in all eight 
directions. That is why I play games that only let you move forwards and 
backwards.



From what I understand I have all of the 2D fighting games for the SNES.

Re: [blind-gamers] Review of Hyperkin's Supaboy portable and home video game console

2021-06-10 Thread Charles Rivard
To me, “marginally playable” won’t cut it.  In a bowling game, I have to be 
able to accurately determine where to throw the ball from, what pins remaining 
after the first ball was thrown, and how to accurately aim for getting the 
spare, and an indication as to my success or lack of success.  What frame am I 
in, and what the current score is.  Simply throwing the ball and hoping for 
success is not good enough.  When using a pinball machine, when do I hit which 
flipper, and, after the ball is lost, what is the score?  Just banging away 
madly at all flippers in hopes of a score is not acceptable.  These are only 2 
examples.  I want to play a game using actual skill rather than sheer luck.

It's true that you can't play every game with complete success, but many games 
are at least marginally playable, and nothing beats nostalgia. 
I have a greater reason for wanting to purchase something like this: my kids 
would love it too, but I can see a fairly dedicated gamer enjoying something 
like this.

  Hyperkin's Supaboy will play both Super Nintendo and Super Famacom 
  cartridges. Also the console will play the different flash cartridges 
  for both Super Nintendo and Super Famacom.

  Here is a description of what the Supaboy looks like. The back of the 
  Supaboy has a door that has a screw inti that contain a rechargeable battery.
  The battery last up to ten hours. It takes two to four hours to fully charge.
  On top the the Supaboy from left to right is the following items. On 
  the left shoulder is the L button. The next item that you come to is 
  the micro usb charging port.
  Then it's the charging light indicator. If light is red the Supaboy is 
  charging.
  If the light is green the Supaboy is fully charge. After the light is 
  the region switch. If the switch is to the right then you can play 
  games from the PAL region.
  This would be all of the Super Famacom games. If the switch is to the 
  left then you can play games from the NTSC region.
  This would be all of the Super Nintendo games.
  Next is the power switch. To the left the Supaboy is off. To the right 
  the Supaboy is on.
  Next is the audio video composite port. The audio video composite cord 
  comes with the  Supaboy.
  The audio video composite allows you to play the Supaboy on your tv. 
  Next on the right shoulder is the R button.
  Also on the top of the Supaboy behind all of the items on the console 
  is a cartridge slot. The Supaboy is design so that if you bump or jerk 
  or shake the console hard it will not cause your game to freeze or lock 
  up like it did on the original Super Nintendo and Super Famacom.

  On the front from left to right is the following items. The directional pad.
  Next closer to the top of the front is the select and start buttons. 
  Under those button is the left speaker.
  Next is the 4.3 inch color LCD.
  Next to the screen is the right speaker. Next is the Y button, X 
  button, B button and the A button. Below the speakers and screen are 
  two controller ports.
  This allow usage of Super Nintendo and Super Famacom accessories.

  On the bottom of the Supaboy from left to right is the following items. 
  Headphone jack which is 3.5mm.
  Next is the volume control knob. When playing the Supaboy on the tv 
  turn the volume completely down. since the sound will be playing from 
  the tv speakers.
  Next is the button that controls screen size and brightness. Hold down 
  the button for three seconds to switch from 4:3 to 16:9. Press the 
  button to change the brightness.
  There are five brightness settings. On the bottom right towards the 
  back is a hole where the wrist band goes that comes with the Supaboy.

  The Supaboy is light and comfortable when holding the console. The 
  current color of the console is black with the buttons being gold.
  It comes with a soft bag to carry the console in when you are on the go 
  while not playing it.

  The Supaboy cost a hundred dollars. You can order it from hyperkin.com 
  or call Hyperkin at 9093978788


  Here is my thoughts on the Supaboy. I have had mine since 2018. I carry

Me personally I play fighting games. There are other blind people who 
play other types of games.
It's all base on what you want to play. Of course there are some games 
that totally blind people can't play.

Betreff: [blind-gamers] Review of Hyperkin's Supaboy portable and home video 
game console


Have you ever wanted to take your home video game console with you on 
the go? Well now that is possible with the Supaboy from Hyperkin.
This console is for those of us who grew up in the nineties with Super 
Nintendo and Super Famacom video game console. Also this give younger 
generation of gamers the opportunity to enjoy retro gaming at it's 
finest with the Supaboy from Hyperkin.
Hyperkin's Supaboy will play both Super Nintendo and Super Famacom 
cartridges. Also the console will play the different flash cartridges 
for both Super Nintendo and Super Famacom.

Here is a description of what the Supaboy looks like. The back of the 
Supaboy has a door that has a screw inti that contain a rechargeable battery.
The battery last up to ten hours. It takes two to four hours to fully charge.
On top the the Supaboy from left to right is the following items. On 
the left shoulder is the L button. The next item that you come to is 
the micro usb charging port.
Then it's the charging light indicator. If light is red the Supaboy is 
charging.
If the light is green the Supaboy is fully charge. After the light is 
the region switch. If the switch is to the right then you can play 
games from the PAL region.
This would be all of the Super Famacom games. If the switch is to the 
left then you can play games from the NTSC region.
This would be all of the Super Nintendo games.
Next is the power switch. To the left the Supaboy is off. To the right 
the Supaboy is on.
Next is the audio video composite port. The audio video composite cord 
comes with the  Supaboy.
The audio video composite allows you to play the Supaboy on your tv. 
Next on the right shoulder is the R button.
Also on the top of the Supaboy behind all of the items on the console 
is a cartridge slot. The Supaboy is design so that if you bump or jerk 
or shake the console hard it will not cause your game to freeze or lock 
up like it did on the original Super Nintendo and Super Famacom.

On the front from left to right is the following items. The directional pad.
Next closer to the top of the front is the select and start buttons. 
Under those button is the left speaker.
Next is the 4.3 inch color LCD.
Next to the screen is the right speaker. Next is the Y button, X 
button, B button and the A button. Below the speakers and screen are 
two controller ports.
This allow usage of Super Nintendo and Super Famacom accessories.

On the bottom of the Supaboy from left to right is the following items. 
Headphone jack which is 3.5mm.
Next is the volume control knob. When playing the Supaboy on the tv 
turn the volume completely down. since the sound will be playing from 
the tv speakers.
Next is the button that controls screen size and brightness. Hold down 
the button for three seconds to switch from 4:3 to 16:9. Press the 
button to change the brightness.
There are five brightness settings. On the bottom right towards the 
back is a hole where the wrist band goes that comes with the Supaboy.

The Supaboy is light and comfortable when holding the console. The 
current color of the console is black with the buttons being gold.
It comes with a soft bag to carry the console in when you are on the go 
while not playing it.

The Supaboy cost a hundred dollars. You can order it from hyperkin.com 
or call Hyperkin at 9093978788


Here is my thoughts on the Supaboy. I have had mine since 2018. I carry 
mine every where I go.
The sound is good although it could be a little bit lounder when using 
the built in speakers. It plays games great.
When using a flash cartridge it plays the games on there great. I would 
suggest any gamer to purchase one.
When using Super Nintendo and Super Famacom accessories it plays great 
with them.
To tell you the truth The Supaboy from Hyperkin is the best Super 
Nintendo and Super Famacom console that I have own and played. The 
button don't stick.
Even if you are doing some hard button mashing. I play my Supaboy more 
then I play the Xbox series.
That is no joke or lie.

I Hope you will consider getting you the Supaboy from Hyperkin.

2021-06-06 Thread Brennen Kinch
Are there any accessible games for completely blind users to play on this 
device otherwise I’m not sure how this device could be relevant to the list 
besides the fact that it’s game related also does this have some kind of a 
screen reader on it where completely blind person can use some of the functions 
that are not exclusively games
