It appears suddenly and without warning over my right shoulder, punching through my peripheral vision like a locomotive, which is not a simile because it is in fact a locomotive. Actually, it's three locomotives hauling automobiles and whatnot across the Nebraska landscape at 70mph. The Zero is silent (of course) so I can hear the clatter of train cars over the joints in the track and then the howl of the whistle as it approaches road crossings. I am taken aback by the power of it all; it's one thing to propel a 400 pound motorcycle 70mph on flat ground but it's another things altogether to pull tons and tons of steel at the same speed. Frankly, it's a bit frightening and I roll off at the sight and sound of it. But then I think, "Picture! You gotta capture this!" and I roll on to 70mph and (Mom, don't read this) 80mph to close the gap. I get the shot and we ride side by side for a while, past, present, and future all chasing the horizon. We part ways as the tracks and Lincoln Highway diverge. It's a scene of brute power that I won't soon forget.

 

I'm fairly certain, George A Wyman, that steam trains back in 1903 travelled much slower, and I know that you had at least two close calls, but there's no way in hell that I'd put any motorcycle in front of three modern locomotives surging along at 70mph.

 

[Kids, do not try this at home. Professional rider on a closed course and all of that jazz.]

After two years of construction on interstate 69, traffic above ground flows smoothly in Rosenberg, Texas, near Houston. Now, side work is needed to create new access roads and ramps. Oh, and I like photographing concrete pumps bent into interesting positions delivering the material to hard to reach places. No hand operated wheelberrows required.

Getting some answers.

 

Random Fact: Peripheral neuropathy, a result of nerve damage, often causes numbness and pain in your hands and feet. People typically describe the pain of peripheral neuropathy as tingling or burning, while they may compare the loss of sensation to the feeling of wearing a thin stocking or glove.

 

Peripheral neuropathy can result from problems such as traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes.

 

In many cases, peripheral neuropathy symptoms improve with time — especially if the condition is caused by an underlying condition that can be treated. A number of medications often are used to reduce the painful symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Dr. R. Kim (right), Chief Medical Officer, Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India, performs a peripheral retinal examination on M. Kaliappan's, 75, left eye using an indirect ophthalmoscope (not pictured) and a 20 diopter viewing lens in the eye examination room, Friday, Nov. 16, 2018. Mr. Kaliappan who had undergone retinal detachment surgery in his left eye 10 years back had come for a routine follow-up. Apart from his regular clinical work, Dr. Kim is involved in driving innovation in the organisation. "People ask me, 'How can you let a machine screen a patient?' I tell them, 'Why not when they can trust a driverless vehicle while traveling?'"

Vogue has always been a glam diva.

You see that sticker on the left lens? You'd think I'd notice it too wouldn't you? I'll get to that in a minute. I buy cheapo reading glasses in multi-packs because I constantly sit on them, lose them or just break the arms off them as I absently mindedly fiddle with them. An arm broke off a pair this afternoon so I reached for another pair from the desk drawer and put them on. It honestly took me 15 minutes looking at a screen with a vague blurry blob in my left peripheral vision before I realised that the sticker was still on there. In my defence I have all sorts of floaters and weird visual defects so I just assumed it was par for the course. This has pretty much been the 'highlight' of my day so far so therefore this rather crappy pic of my specs shall stay and feed the 'pic of the day' monster.

Peripheral Vision: A Chicago Perimeter Ride project (2015-ongoing)

compoundyellow.com/events/2017/3/5/peripheral-vision-a-ch...

 

"Here's the three Rs -- Repetition. Repetition. Repetition." -- Mark e. Smith (the Fall)

 

Is the presence of a bicycle in an art gallery an inevitable Duchampian gesture, or is it sometimes just Freud's cigar? A bicycle without a cyclist is simply a potential ride, while a cyclist without a bicycle is a bi-ped.

 

"All is in flux, nothing stays still." -- Heraclitus

 

The Chicago Perimeter Ride is a fleeting, ephemeral yet concrete, street traffic performance staged site-specific on the outskirts and along the city limits of Chicago. The streets serve as a fringe theater where the methodical, methodized actor-cyclist performs his routine. This ritual ride is repeated like a meditation, a prayer, poem, a song.

 

"Repetition is a form of change." -- Brian Eno

 

The route is routinized but varies from time to time. This routine act, spinning bicycle and body, tracing boundaries and memories, traverses 90+ miles through Chicago's built environment. There have been 97 performances to date, both clock-wise and counter, encountering 39 of Chicago's 77 community areas and 30 adjacent municipalities, covering over 8,900 miles. During this same span another 10,000+ miles were pedaled outside the parameters of this project. These cyclical edge performances, fluid and mechanical, topographical but not isochronous, are typically six to seven hours in duration. Completing a circuit, I physically echo previous rides while simultaneously feel the invisible pull of (and anxiously anticipate) the next cycle round, looping endless endless.

 

The photographic canvases in this exhibition contextualize the space, the cityscape, in which the exercise is negotiated and performed -- the lakefront, Burnham Greenway, brownfields, arterial and residential streets, barber shops, hot dog stands, liquor stores and tap rooms, tamale carts, taverns, tire shops, taquerias, corner stores / bodegas, car washes, auto parts & repair, stranded boats and trailers, pink walls, graffiti scrawls, Virgin Marys and of Guadalupe, pylons and bridges, railroad crossings and church crosses, the Chicago and Calumet rivers, the Sanitary and Ship Canal, Wolf Lake, frozen beaches and on-ramp interstate wetlands, banquet halls, pizza joints, beauty salons, sub shops, paleterias and neverias, day care centers and cleaners, motels and shrimp shacks, travel agencies and print shops, Nicky's -- the home of the Big Baby, a power plant and a comfort station, American Legion posts and tanks along the border, Dinette World and dollar stores, joyerias and Jewel Stores, muffler men and upholstery shops, and the countless apartments above the shop or bar. Given the scope and scale of this project and its highly mobile nature, I hope to present multiple iterations at various locations throughout the city over time.

 

The two bikes on display, a 1987/1988 Peugeot Cologne and a late 1980s/early 1990s Quattro Assi, are two of the four machines on which the 2015-2016 Perimeter Rides were performed upon. The French-built Peugeot, made specifically for the German market for just two years, is constructed of Reynolds 531, the legendary steel tubing of Tour de France champions. The Italian-made, golden anodized aluminum "Four Aces" was a custom-designed rare bird built for a small bicycle shop in Texas. The two other bikes employed are a 1986/1987 titanium Litespeed and a 2003 carbon fiber/aluminum Colnago Dream.

 

In conjunction with the closing of the show in late March, I will invite all that are interested to join me on a guided perimeter ride, starting at Promontory Point in Hyde Park. We will stop at various select points along the route for refreshments, including a stop at Compound Yellow.

September is CMT Awareness Month. CMT, which stands for Charcot (Shar-kote) Marie Tooth, is a Peripheral Nervous System disease, it is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy, bares the names of the three physicians who realized a bunch of different diseases were actually the same thing (the same three named Multiple Sclerosis, and Charcot named ALS), it has nothing to do with teeth, and there is no treatment nor cure.

 

CMT has an occurrence rate of 1 in 2,500, which is the same as Stroke in the US, yet it is considered rare. There is very little known about it; it is usually inherited, but can occur randomly; it varies widely from person to person, even in the same family; and if you are not born with it, you will never have it.

 

There are currently twenty-two identified types of CMT. I have type 1A, which is the most common. I inherited it from my dad, who wasn't diagnosed until after I was, and I wasn't diagnosed until I was 28.

 

My CMT has caused me to lose a lot of muscle mass in my legs, feet, arms, and hands. I have extremely high arches, weak ankles, I walk funny, have balance issues, and I wear leg braces. I am in constant pain that never lets up, my shoulders are wrecked, my hand dexterity and strength is greatly diminished, and I suffer from scoliosis and kyphosis; plus a whole lot more. I have my bad days, and I have my not so bad days. However, I do not let it get me down or stop me from doing what I want.

 

Because my type is the most common, and fortunately for me, CMT 1A is where a vast majority of the research is being conducted. While CMT is not a form/type of Muscular Dystrophy, the MDA includes CMT under its umbrella. They are an invaluable resource and many of the gains in CMT over the last 25 years would not have happened without MDA support. Most of what is known about CMT came from MDA initiatives and researchers receiving MDA funding.

 

I created this graphic as a tool to spread awareness. The blue ribbon is the Charcot Marie Tooth Association's awareness ribbon and was provided compliments of the CMTA for the graphic. The design and remaining images are my own. :)

The only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the Saarland

St. Peter was erected as a monastery church around 1200 by Wadgasser Premonstratensian canons, who came to Merzig as successors of the Augustinian canons. The layout shows a three-aisled basilica with a transept, chancel peripheral towers, side-apses and a western single tower. The gothic cross-vault ornamented with heraldry was not put in until the 16th century. In the course of a renovation in the 60s of the last century, the nave was extended to the west around the Mary Chapel, while the southern side nave was given a new entrance hall. Special architectural attention deserve the two north portals, the small "cemetery portal" at the transept and the larger main and lay portal at the side ship. In the course of the extensive external restoration of St. Peter, completed in December 2004, the former main portal was reopened in the west tower.

In the interior of St. Peter the visitor can see a large number of cultic works, especially from the Baroque period. The Christ, Mary and the 12 apostles, who were made around 1700 by Wolfgang Stupeler, are particularly worth mentioning. Also worth seeing is the 17th-century Pietà in the side chapel in the northern transept. Further attention-getters are the high altar with the crowning pelican figure around 1738 probably carved by the Saarlouis sculptor Ferdinand Ganal, an early Christian symbol, the stemming from the 4th century Gothic plague cross over the altar, the revolving baptismal font, or the St. Nicholas statue rediscovered and restored just a few years ago. In extensive reconstruction work in 1984/85, the paintings by the Merzig painter Heinrich Klein, which had been coated in the framework of the Second Vatican Council, were also exposed, the latter one has made them in the style of the Nazarene school after models of Eduard von Steinle.

As the most important building in our city and the only preserved Romanesque sacred building in the state of Saarland, characterises the parish church of St. Peter most of all for those coming from the east from the direction of Brotdorf the image of the core city. In spite of the many changes that St. Peter has undergone during the course of his long history through fire catastrophes, war destructions or transformations in the style of the particular zeitgeist, the church has, apart from the Westbau (west wing), kept its original shape.

 

Einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland

St. Peter wurde um 1200 von Wadgasser Prämonstratenserchorherren, die als Nachfolger der Augustinerchorherren 1182 nach Merzig gekommen waren, als Klosterkirche errichtet. Der Grundriss zeigt eine dreischiffige Basilika mit Querhaus, Chornebentürmen, Nebenapsiden und einem westlichen Einzelturm. Das wappenverzierte gotische Kreuzgewölbe wurde erst im 16. Jahrhundert nach einem Brand eingezogen. Im Zuge einer Renovierung in den 60er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts wurde das Nordseitenschiff um die Marienkapelle nach Westen verlängert, während das südliche Seitenschiff eine neue Eingangshalle erhielt. Besondere architektonische Aufmerksamkeit verdienen die beiden Nordportale, das kleine "Friedhofsportal" am Querhaus und das größere Haupt- und Laienportal am Seitenschiff. Im Zuge der im Dezember 2004 abgeschlossenen umfangreichen Außensanierung von St. Peter wurde das frühere Hauptportal im Westturm wieder geöffnet.

Im Innern von St. Peter erwartet den Besucher eine große Zahl kultischer Kunstwerke, vor allem aus der Zeit des Barock. Besonderes zu erwähnen sind beispielsweise die Christus, Maria und die 12 Apostel darstellenden Figuren, die um 1700 von Wolfgang Stupeler gefertigt wurden. Sehenswert ist auch die aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammende Pietà in der Nebenkapelle im Nordquerhaus. Weitere Blickfänge sind der um 1738 vermutlich von dem Saarlouiser Bildhauer Ferdinand Ganal geschaffene Hochaltar mit der krönenden Pelikanfigur, einem frühchristlichen Symbol, das aus dem 14. Jahrhundert stammende gotische Pestkreuz über dem Altar, die Drehtaufe oder die erst vor wenigen Jahren wiederentdeckte und restaurierte Nikolausstatue. Bei umfangreichen Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahr 1984/85 wurden auch wieder die im Rahmen des II. Vatikanischen Konzils überstrichenen Malereien des Merziger Malers Heinrich Klein freigelegt, der diese nach Vorlagen von Eduard von Steinle im Stil der Nazarener Schule gefertigt hat.

Als das bedeutendste Bauwerk unserer Stadt und einziger erhaltener romanischer Sakralbau im Saarland prägt die Pfarrkirche St. Peter vor allem für die Besucher, die von Osten her aus Richtung Brotdorf kommen, das Bild der Kernstadt. Trotz der vielfältigen Veränderungen, die St. Peter im Lauf seiner langen Geschichte durch Brandkatastrophen, Kriegszerstörungen oder Umgestaltungen im Stile des jeweiligen Zeitgeistes erfahren hat, hat die Kirche, abgesehen vom Westbau, ihre ursprüngliche Gestalt weitgehend behalten.

Urban planning and its avatar the urbanism, a word invented by Iidefons Cerdã in Barcelona in 1880, at the same time as the criticism by Camillo Sitte against Hoffman’s hygienic cities.

The urbis is a form of satellite journey, this gives peripheral spaces hostages of the center and brings consecration to the perpendicular city with the horrible poem called "The right angle", and maybe its disastrous consequences today?

Critical? Almost illegal at present of the Grand Master Le Corbusier comes from raven [corbeau like corbu in French word that's joke with a play of sonority] first rank of the Mithra sect. Le Corbusier invent new module gold --Modulor or Mystery with transhumanism- Dream of the machine to live and then failure of the conditions of displacement and their relationship with an urban form that breaks the bonds. As in a living body, it is established through a morphology of red blood cells. The body of a city is only designed for the car without interactions, pedestrians become ants. You cannot stop in a metro corridor for example.

Form of people and formatting ... village in a circled encounter / chessboard and failure of the relations by the division of the soil that projects ways to move and access the properties, the culture of the vacuum of the modern street produces displacements without random encounters other than traffic accidents. The system of a grid city is imposed as a simple way to enlarge or create a city from a track, to the extreme case in which cities exist only on a track composed of boxes with parking lots to ease the access. Thus many districts resemble to chess boards with malls build on crop fields, agricultural production being managed at the regional or national level.

It will be better to study the city and the importance of its geometry, the journeys of city dwellers in a quadrangular city and the absence or the failures of businesses in these neighborhoods .... The linear path and the absence of landmarks . The weight of a past and the possibility of making evolve the city with its time. The fatality of being born or living in a linear neighborhood composed of parking lots and housing without shops or public facilities, the porosity of public facilities ... The true meaning of the word church ... we do not live only with trade and business .. Towards a Citizen Church? One must understand and try to stop glorifying architecture buildings too fashionable and fragile in the maintenance and financed with 100% public funding ... donations are never as well received as those that are a participatory mix and Plus a systematic right that is expensive in management ... one can make schools freer for those many who are in failure in the primary school and can run schools like startup companies already do in incubators. The form of cities is the main factor in the failure of poor neighborhoods. Urban planners were born in this convenience to reproduce in copy / pasted an eternal vision of car parks and blocks with well insulated facades using fragile materials. The architects follow modern fashion as a priesthood, the novelty of forms has become a dogma, the facades are like paintings with no link other than the geometry of the piece of land. Life could not have been born in these cities cloned with a grid, they have voluntarily erased all ties with history and regional anchoring, architectural globalization produces the same cities all over the World. This is an observation that nobody criticizes, it's a bit like a single party?

 

the creation of self sufficient small towns, really very nice towns if you were docile and had no plans of your own and did not mind spending your life with others with no plans of their own.

  

Trame urbaine et son avatar l'urbanisme, un mot inventé par Cerda à Barcelone en 1880, en même temps que la critique par Sitte des villes hygiéniques de Hoffmann.

L'urbis c'est une forme de trajet en satellite, cela donne des espaces périphériques otages du centre et la consécration depuis de la ville perpendiculaire avec l'horrible poème de "L'angle droit " et ses conséquences désastreuses aujourd'hui ?

Critique? Presque illégale actuellement du Grand Maître Le Corbusier vient de corbeau premier grades de la secte de Mithra. ...module or --Modulor-Mystère transhumanisme- Rêve de la machine à habiter puis échec actuellement des conditions de déplacement et de leurs relations avec une forme urbaine qui brise les liens. Comme dans un corps vivant, il s'établit à travers une morphologie des globules rouges .Le corps d'une ville est uniquement conçu pour la voiture sans interactions, entre des piétons devenus des fourmis. Impossible de s'arrêter dans un couloir de metro par exemple.

Forme des gens et formatage ... village en cercle rencontre / échiquier et échec des relations par la division du sol qui projette des voies pour circuler et accéder au propriétés , la culture du vide de la rue moderne produit des déplacements sans rencontres aléatoires autres que des accidents de circulation. Le système d'une ville quadrillée c'est imposé comme un moyen simple d'agrandir ou de créer une ville à partir d'une voie, à l'extrême certaine villes n'existent que sur une voie composée de boites avec des parkings pour faciliter l'accès. Ainsi beaucoup de quartiers ressemblent à des échiquiers avec des zones commerciales sur les anciennes zones maraîchères, la production agricole étant gérée au niveau régional ou national.

Il faudra mieux étudier la ville et l'importance de sa géométrie, les trajets des citadins dans une ville quadrangulaire et l'absence ou l'échec des commerces dans ces quartiers.... Le trajet linéaire et l'absence de repères ... Le poids d'un passé et la possibilité de faire évoluer la ville avec son temps. La fatalité de naître ou de vivre dans un quartier linéaire composé de parking et de logements sans commerces ni équipements publics, la porosité des équipements publics... Le vrai sens du mot église... on ne vit pas avec du tout commerce ... Vers une église citoyenne? Il faut comprendre et essayer d'arrêter de glorifier les bâtiments d'architecture trop mode et fragile dans l'entretien et décidé avec Le financement 100% public... les dons ne sont jamais aussi bien reçu que ceux qui sont un mélange participatif et plus un droit systématique qui coûte cher en gestion... on peut faire des écoles plus libres pour ceux nombreux qui sont en échec dans Le primaire et faire tourner les écoles comme le font déjà les entreprises dans les incubateurs. La forme des villes est le principal facteur d'échec des quartiers pauvres. Les urbanistes sont nés dans cette facilité de reproduire en copie/collé une éternelle vision de parkings et de blocs maintenant biens isolés en façades avec des matériaux fragiles. Les architectes suivent la mode moderne comme un sacerdoce, la nouveauté des formes est devenue un dogme, les façades sont comme des tableaux sans lien autre que la géométrie du parcellaire. La vie n'as pas pu naître dans ces villes clonées avec une grille, elles ont volontairement effacé tout les liens avec l'histoire et l'ancrage régional, la globalisation architecturale produit les mêmes villes dans le Monde. C'est un constat que personne ne critique, c'est un peu comme un parti unique ? C’est un vœu de mes années étudiantes, créer un nouveau village et rendre hommage à mon coloriste préféré Vincent Van Gogh , un mystique qui ignorait la genèse scolaire pour vivre intensément dans l’intuition d’un Monde au-dessus et bien plus subtil que l’épreuve d’une vie terrienne, Vincent un extraterrestre 👽 mais bien sûr, salut 👋 les terriens

The 19 has taken the brunt of road developments across the city in recent times, the current regular disruption being at Milltimber where the city bypass works continue.

 

For one weekend, Culter and the west was unaccessible from the A93. As a result, the 19 was terminating short at the roadworks and passengers had to walk through the works to a shuttle bus in Culter on the other side.

 

An opportunity to use a rarely seen screen in service - Kippie Lodge has never had a useful turning point day to day for late running!

 

Seen at the AWPR, Milltimber on Saturday 14th October 2017.

The biopsy of peripheral nerve observed by optic microscopy reveled many myelinated and unmyelinated axons, associated with the schwann cells. In the normal condition the myelin sheaths are organized periodically. Small changes in the structure of myelin can only be observed by electron microscopy. In this micrograph, you can be observed small details of myelin sheaths, it is evident the formation of winding roads, that view you are esthetically eye-catching, even if that tell of the image, these changes may be involved in loss of function and poor nerve conduction for the patient.

The "copycat-style" killings in Copenhagen this Valentine's Day weekend, perhaps inspired by last month's murderous attacks in Paris, have saddened and aggrieved me. This is particularly true as I've been studying Danish (and its linguistic "siblings," Norwegian and Swedish) for the past few years. I frequently see films set in Copenhagen, so although I've never visited the place, I feel a certain proximity to the city and its citizens, including its Jewish inhabitants. The fact that a man was killed while doing volunteer security during a young girl's Bat Mitzvah ceremony adds an additional level of sorrow and heartbreak... When will it all end?

Pop Subversion starring Robert Williams

Feb 8th thru Mar 2nd, 2008

 

Opening Reception: Friday, February 8th, 7:00PM-9:00PM

 

Pop Subversion contains a healthy dose of both established and emerging artists from the realms of street art, pop surrealism, lowbrow, illustration, print making, tattoo and so much more. Through this group exhibition, promising young artists will have the chance to exhibit side by side with some of the more established artists in these fields. This mixture will allow the viewer to experience a plethora of varying styles and techniques rising out of this powerful New Contemporary movement in art. At the center of this exhibition lies the original artwork of Juxtapoz founder (and quite arguably the 'father' of this New Contemporary movement in art) Robert Williams!

 

Participating artists include: aiko, lisa alisa, lisa bloodgood, john breiner, wayne coe, molly crabapple, brendan danielsson, camilla d'errico, elbowtoe, ian fagan, fawn fruits, gil, joshua hagler, aaron horkey, kenichi hoshine, jeremyville, sarah joncas, lady pink, benjamin lacombe, lauralee, kris lewis, brian life, francesco locastro, carlos nine, pagan, peripheral media projects, jenn porreca, martina secondo russo, chris stain, robert steel, elisabeth timpone, connie wang, joe vaux, robert williams, jaeran won, genevive zacconi

Peripheral out of focus areas due to curvature of field are common with Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes, and are readily apparent with my Celestron 1250mm SCT when mounted on my FX, DX, and even CX cameras when using the entire sensor.

 

Using a teleconverter reduces this effect. On this test image, there are no visible out of focus areas due to curvature of field, since only a small central portion of the image plane is captured by the 13.2 x 8.8mm CX sensor on the V1 when used with a 1.4X teleconverter.

i prefer the colour version, slightly. but i'd say the black and white one has its merits too, though it really doesn't work as well at this smaller 500 pixel size. what do you think ?

As part of what I've sometimes jokingly reffered to as being "the generation raised on video gaming", I've certainly owned my share of video game consoles and peripherals of various sorts.

 

Both ones that were popular and easy to find, others, not nearly so common place in nature.

 

The video game stuff pictured here represents the latter of the two things.

 

In fact, I'm fairly sure this kind of stuff doesn't tend to turn up on Ebay much at all.

 

Every last thing pictured here in unlicensed, and is all for the Super NES/Super Famicom.

 

all told, it's 3 video game enhancers (much like the Game genie) and one NES/Famicom to Super NES adapter. (Actually, also let's Super Famicom games be played as well, not that I ever owned any import games.

 

From left to right, it foes as follows...

  

"Game Wizard" by Innovation

(Basically the US equivalent of the UK made Pro Action Replay (the original PAR, not the 2nd one).

 

"Game Mage" by Leisure

(Of Asian origin... possibly China, if i recall... designed for the Super Famicom, not the American Super NES, but since Nintendo used a physical lockout rather than a software one on the Super NES & Super Famicom, much like with their N64, it was just more a matter of making the thing fit in your Super NES. It accepted both foreign and US Super NES games, and used the exact same codes that the Game genie used, but unlike the Game genie, also came with cheat codes built-in for some games.

 

"Pro Action Replay 2" by Datel (A game enhancer made in England).

Unlike other game enhancers (including their own Pro Action Replay 1) this puppy let you plug in up to 100 cheat codes at a time, thereby essentially letting the gamer re-write entire sections of the game program code. It came with a book loaded full of codes already, plus like the original PAR, it contained a "trainer" mode, which let a gamer devise their own codes by using methods to track which part of the game code you wanted to change. Using this thing, I was able to sometimes (though not always) carack which part of the program code in fighting games controlled the character data for which fighter you're selecting. Hence, I sometimes was able to get fighting games with no official boss code listed let me play (often glitchy in nature at best) as unplayable "boss" characters, like Shang Tsung and Goro in MK 1 on Super NES. But, it barely worked before glitching for those particular codes in that game.

 

"Super 8" by Innovation

With this, you could play both NES and Famicom games as well as Super Famicom games on an American model Super NES. It came with no instruction manual, since the only instructions one needs is listed right on the outside of the box. I have no idea of whether or not this would work on a redesigned model Super NES.
