I found and was told to keep a SNES a few days ago. I've desoldered the broken power jack and the replacement arrives tomorrow. What games should I grab for it? I'm a PS and Sega Genesis person so I don't know the library beyond the really big titles

That was in the box as well. It's the one without SMW, but there were two carts of that as well for some reason, along with DKC 1 and 2, and a Power Rangers game. The only game I know I want for sure is Super Metroid

This is the first time I've ever held a soldering gun. I should've researched what I was doing better and referenced more pictures of the topside, yeah, but you're acting like a Reddit moderator, the exact kind of person to screech and power trip online and only online. That's the only reason I take issue

Since you're a Sega person I stuck to arcade and arcade-ish games. Some of these games are expensive so a flashcart / bootleg might be the only reasonable option, games that could use patches mostly to fix slowdown or for translation are separate.

You caused some damage but nothing too difficult to fix. Make sure these connections are bridged, the through-hole via close to the edge can still make contact but removing more mask will give it a stronger foundation to adhere to and prevent future issues.

The US SNES power connector is awful.

Positive encouragement here would be detrimental to the end user and posture up a wrongly placed sense of accomplishment
I’m rubbing his fucking nose in it so he never does this again.
“Oh but no one will know we are anonymous”
Now OP has me burned into his brain.
Don’t ever fuckup like that again in earnest.

I’m more interested in no one on this fucking board thinking this is okay.
We already have entire generations of dumbasses thinking the GameCube for example was an easy mod.
Now the consoles working or not are actually valuable again simply because so many were broken by this or discovered by eBay hoarders to be functionally scrap because of climate control or whatever other SNAFU
Also you told this moron to bridge connections
He bought a soldering gun
Maybe give him some material
OP if you’re done sucking your thumb go watch Jame’s channel on YouTube
That is a funny channel
Because of his barbaric ass techniques
Your posts aren’t fucking funny it’s just a lack of skill masquerading as proficiency

you don't know what you're talking about. i've never touched a PCB that old where the traces didn't crumble and the pads delaminate the moment you breathe on them. repairing pad and trace is par for the course on any old PCB. if it's the first time OP is doing this it will be good practice in repairing old boards. even if he botches it nothing of value is lost, it's just a toy after all. i read through the rest of your cringefest posts itt and you need to get a grip. this isn't life and death, spaz.

Double check the polarity when you install that its probably fine but why risk it.

Its a different flavour to genesis, nothing really anything that close to outrun, afterburner, golden axe or streets of rage but there are some games sort of in that direction.

Genesis feeling games could be
Darius Twin
Gradius
King of Dragons
Jackie Crush
Rushing beat 2
Soldier of Fortune / Chaos Engine
Road Runner has similarities to sonic as well as the Speedy Gonzalis game
Jame Pond 3 has kind of genesis looking graphics unlike the 2nd one on snes
Oscar also has a really sonic looking character
Super Aleste in a way but its kind of pc engine feeling

He doesn't have to scrape shit, the traces all lead to the IC right next to it, you can just put a bodge wire there to replace the torn traces.

I just figured it was half ripped off already. Whatever though. It's not my SNES.
mine has a cracked power jack too, but it still works... I guess I should replace it at some point. Need to replace the plastic on a PS2 controller port too, it's just a bunch of exposed pins rn...

It's the exact same approach except without doing further fucking damage to the board.

I mean I can understand that maybe the solder pads on the IC are too small for you to work with but then maybe you shouldn't by soldering shit to microelectronics in the first place.

Wrong. You can create an anchor point that's further removed from a component which interfaces with 4 other traces thus minimizing potential future damage. Removing solder mask to expose copper is hardly "fucking damage" especially when done in a controlled environment.

I plowed forward on a lot of shit like this. It's how most people learn: Trying.
I thought I fucked up a motherboard on a Compaq Presario when changing caps, but nope, works despite the ugly solder job.
Other jobs have gone more smoothly, but I get a better feel after every one.
I wouldn't tackle anything I cared a great deal for without being sure I could do it, but those things might (for some reason) mean a deal to someone else. OPs SNES meant just enough to give it a whack, it'll probably be fine in the end. It's not anyone else's business to give a shit.
