Re: SNES core hangs/freezes after leaving intro running for a couple hours
Micro SD cards have not ever proven to be reliable in the long term for an OS in my experience. I would pop it out and check it for errors if you can. Or maybe setup a spare card and test this there. Is your MiSTer cooled? Could it be overheating? That's half true. With Modern OS yes such as Windows 10/11, you don't want to run off a SD card. Olde...

Re: Safe to hotplug SNAC devices?
I'm wondering, is it safe to swap controllers into your SNAC connector (the level shifter thing) while your MiSTer is on? I'm guessing it is but does anyone know? It it safe to Hotswap controllers on the Snac while the MiSTer is on? Electrically I want to say yes, the majority of the time you should be fine. But I would exit out of the core first ...

Re: DC Extension Cable?
You should be okay as long as the Extension not too long. Yes the length of wire will drop voltage.
If you want to use a DC extension cord, the ones rated for CCTV Cameras work well for this purpose.
if you are worried, or if the DC extension don't work, you can try to use a extension cable from your outlet to your AC/DC converter instead.

Re: Does a Metal Enclosure Need to Be Grounded?
screwing the brass stand-offs into the metal of the case is often enough to get a ground connection going. Oh, maybe I should just skip the plexiglass then. Hard to say without knowing what enclosure you are using. You can always have a wire going from top of the brass stand off going to a spot on the metal case. There lot of places you can tap gr...

It wouldn't be hard to ground the case. As there multiple places to tap onto ground, example screwing the brass stand-offs into the metal of the case is often enough to get a ground connection going. Grounding would also protect from any static discharge. If you are real nervous about it, having a wire going from the case to any of the many ground ...

There is a region-free MegaCD BIOS, so you would not need to use multiple BIOS files, and I wonder why the Update_All_MiSTer script does not use it?

Re: Hide System Menus like Key Settings possible?
Nothing that I am aware of.
The MiSTer Menus are kinda stripped down for technical reasons, although I don't see why the option to hide or disable parts of menu can't be enabled.
You can go and not map the Home/guide button on the control pad. But that's the best I can think of at this time.

Re: HDMI Powering Stuff - Potential Damage?
ARC is a separate issue from CEC
CEC is a "Networking feature" of HDMI while ARC is more an alternative to S/PDIF to transmit Audio.
A dental pick popping out a pin in a short HDMI extender or Male to Female coupler, or buying a remade adapter should eliminate the powering up issue entirely.

The vibration of the PS1/PS2 pads are from a 7 to 9 volt line. Nothing on the MiSTer supplies that.
