Check out the "How to Add to the List" tab.
I have to let folks in to the sharing circle in order for them to be able to add to it.
I know it sounds elitist but really it's not.
Becoming a maintainer of the list is simple. Get similar results as the rest of us on at least 20 games in the list and have a bunch of games we haven't added yet and you're in. If you hose the list or cause trouble. You're out and we restore from a backup.
It's done that way to ensure what's on the list is as definitive as possible. When I started the list folks on Facebook were giving all kinds of well intentioned but conflicting information.
Some of the most insistent people were just flat out wrong.
If you see 3 or four people vouch for a game working on the list and your copy doesn't either:
A) there is a bug in the firmware you are using. (We list what firmware we confirmed with)
B) your game is dirty (even if it works in your nes every time)
C) your game is broken (not always obvious I'll provide details on this in a separate post)
D) your Retron 5 pins might be physically damaged. (Obvious to tell by looking)
E) we could be lying because we are secretly shilling for Hyperkin (we're not I promise)
At some point I'd like to make the list wide open but I have yet to figure out a way to do it that maintains it's accuracy. Because it's so accurate Hyperkin actually reviews it from time to time to find out what they need to fix.
Jurassic Park (SNES)
Super Street Fighter II
Were fixed the very next build after they were published as not working.
And
Mega Man X
Was fixed (in part) because we had 4 people on the list report their copies didn't work.
