NEW VIDEO | Sharp SF1: A Super Famicom TV!

I really like how this video turned out. I went into a surprising rabbit-hole while doing research. Now I feel like this video serves as a "everything you need to know" about the Sharp SF1. I cover everything, from what each button does to why the EXT port looks different than the SFC version. View Post
