To me the ultimate super Nintendo would be the SNES CD MSU1 attachment. But still cool nonetheless
Are you comparing a 1chip or a 2chip snes? There is a huge difference!
@@PersianImm0rtal yes I need to edit that big typo I meant the SNES MSU1 media enhancement
can i ask what flux you were using in the syringe while soldering ?
Do you have a link to your music playlist?
While I have no intent on doing these mods for myself, it was a real treat watching you do it. Thanks for the awesome videos, your soldering skills make even complex mods like this look easy
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
I like watching them as well. It's so cool people come up with these custom boards.
I have no intention of learning how to solder or mod a console but I still watch Nacho do all the connections because I find the music and him working therapeutic.
there are better options out there to play snes games with original carts clearly, but this mod is mainly for aesthetics mostly
So your the kind of guy who doesn't have the balls to hunt and shoot an animal, but all the same love the smell of a backyard BBQ huh?
@@KeyboardBusterwhy hunt and shoot an animal? You can buy meat
If you're reading this, go and read that comment again but in hank hill's voice. It's worth it
True story, man👍 Had exactly the same feeling while watching)
Good to know more about the RGB filter.
At the time of setting up this video we didn't know about Voultars upcoming RGB upgrade for a 2-chip console, so that's good to hear.
The shell is absolutly gorgeous!
There are some definite differences in the RGB comparison at 14:19. The unmodified one has a lot more pixel bleed if you look at the reds and oranges. If you look at the black diagonal in the lower left, it causes the unmodified image to have a gradient in the grays.
I think Tito needs to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist. lol
Yep saw this. The blending effect is something lots of people put time into so surprising he didn’t notice
yeah I noticed a difference too, question is though do you actually notice any difference when viewing it from a normal distance?
Yeah I felt it was obvious, don't know how he missed it.
That's an amazing shell. It's like a Japanese Super Famicom console box art and SNES box art mixed.
Totally agree! RAW talent ART makes fantastic shells!
The Japanese & Euro SNES always looked so much better than the US version.
Proof we always want what we can't have. For me is the Snes Jr. And various other toploaders.
@@Tieigo0 Que pena que la SNES JR o SFC Jr no sacan S-video ni RGB ,Top Loader japonesa tiene AV la Top Loader Americana solo tiene RF
I live in Europe and i have Japan Super Famicom. it looks decent, but i always prefer US style instead.
I like the USA one better
Negativo
Yeah, that shell rules. Long live the SNES. And man - Japan's box art was always better than what we got :/
Probably my favorite SFC box art has to be the Kirby Super Star art.
That case is sooooo nice. That case and a flash cart is all you really need to be stylin'.
I just wish it bad a modded cartridge slot so that you don't have to use an adapter. This thing looks sick as hell but it's *far* from being the "ultimate" SNES.
@@Psythik yeah i didn't understand why he didn't modify the cart slot to fit both carts built in instead of an adaptor, even the retron 5 consoles have space for universal carts from all regions
I immediately saw an improvement with the RGB mod. Much sharper and clearer pixels. Definitely worth doing.
I'm not a SNES or modding expert at all. But interesting how people actually "see" much sharper pixels and whatnot for something called an "RGB"-mod. What I see for sure on a decent colorspace screen however, is quite some noticeable degradation in color brightness/saturation. The RGB-mod color examples shown in this video at least look considerably darker/dirtier as if they had (s)RGB-"typical" reduced colorspace. It's not even marginal, it's actually quite noticeable. Combined with the risks mentioned I don't quite see why anyone would want to degrade their SNES colourspace voluntarily.
so you're blind, or dumb.
I really enjoyed viewing this channel's mods for older consoles. its like restoring my childhood now that im in 40's, especially the ones we previously couldn't afford.
So glad to see your mod videos in my feed again and boy does that SNES/SFC look damn nice!
the quality of your videos just keeps going up! that snes looks unreal
Thank you! 🙏
The cause of jitter on the NES and SNES is that these systems output one fewer non-visible pixel on every odd frame versus every even frame. This is important to combat dot crawl on the composite video output but not needed with higher video quality outputs.
That shell looks great!
Totally agree! RAW Talent Art did an amazing job!
SEGA Megadrive asthetics lol
colours looks ugly in my opinion
Awesome work, Tito! I love that awesome shell, your soldering is so clean. Thanks for sharing. I am happy to see the SNES mod content.
That paint job and your soldering work are stunning.
The RGB filter would probably be better for earlier SNES's. The early SNES's DAC's output a really soft picture and they also have grey line in the middle that show's up on dark areas in games. I have personally experienced this myself with one of my SNES's so I stick with my one chip Super Famicom which looks way sharper. My life in gaming has a good video on it. Great video as always!
I can't believe you missed the opportunity of titling the video "Making the super nintendo even more super"
I like that better, just changed it 😁thank you!!
About time you worked on the SNES! Now I have some ideas for what to do for mine!
I know! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make a video 😅. More videos to come in the near future!
YEEEES!! Another fine video showcasing the pinnacle of modding right now. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this mod!! Thanks Tito!!
As usual, you make it look so easy. And that shell is just beautiful.
Man, I recently came across your channel, and I absolutely love your content. Keep bringing it, and I'll continue to consume and support however I can.
They Live
Great video and amazing shell! Though I can hugely see the difference in the RGB images!
Video with RGB mod is definitely more sharp. I don't know if it will make a difference on real games in motion, but I saw improvement even without zoom.
Great video, Tito, as usual! The case it's very cool, but I was hoping for some more mods to justify the "ultimate" tag: for example the fix of the fps difference from NTSC and PAL, or an hdmi output for modern TV, with an upscaler chipset... Hoping for the future, there's a lot of space in SNES case :)
I can vouch for Rob. He’s done LOADS of custom shells and mods for me. I highly recommend
Yaaass an SNES video!
*Edit* awesome video, I will say that if you get a Super Famicom it will play all North American carts as well. The issue with the PAL region is more that it runs at 50hz rather than 60hz.
I myself prefer the original look of the Super Famicom over the north American SNES so that shell is 🔥.
I have a clear SFC shell on my Super Famicom with a wider cartridge hole at the top to allow north American carts.
i thought that too, i can remember when i was a kid we also had those converters to play US games. (im from Europe)
@@mrxpexplorer6318 I have the converter as well. Or one very much like it because I was using my SFC in its original shell for a long time. When I upgraded my shell there was an option for it to have the same cart slot as the North American SNES which allows all the carts to fit, so I went with that.
I much prefer the look of the Japanese/PAL region console.
I actually came here to mention this. Both the Japanese Super Famicom and North American Super Nintendo are using NTSC at 60Hz. They are electrically identical. The only thing preventing the carts from working is the different sized and shaped carts and slots.
You can do the opposite and make the North American SNES run Japanese SFC games with minimal modification. There are 2 plastic tabs that prevent the SFC cartridges from seating in a SNES. I know this because I modified my North American SNES to remove those tabs. I just took a pair of pliers and bent and tore those out. I have a few Japanese SFC games that I've played on my North American SNES without any soldering or cartridge adapters. They just work.
Also funny story is that the Japanese Super Metroid is the exact same game as the North American version, but with Japanese subtitles turned on. Everything is in English by default. And I'm pretty sure it ended up being cheaper to buy than a North American version when I purchased it. Go figure.
The cartridge adapter should only be necessary to fit the larger cartridges into the SFC slot without modifying the case. But then it wouldn't look nearly as sleek and sexy. The Japanese SFC and European SNES hands down looked so much better than the boxy North American SNES. It's a shame. Maybe I'll have to pick up a Japanese SFC and do a case swap on it for something like this. That would be gorgeous.
@@MechaBouncer yeah I've removed the plastic tabs on my north American console as well. But I'm glad for the more elegant solution of a new shell for my SFC. My SFC is a one-chip model so it's my preferred way to play. I'll do the RGB bypass mod from Voultar on it eventually.
If only there is a custom face plate for super famicom and pal SNES to fit ntsc SNES carts 😭. Great video anyways!
That would be awesome! I think retro game restore was working on one
I can definitely see a difference in that filter comparison. More contrast, deeper colors and a bit less fuzzy fringing on the edges of the pixels.
Another top notch video! That shell is absolutely stunning, the little details really make it! Keep up the amazing work Tito!
Tito, your videos, designs, and mods make my wallet and soldering station weep. I love it.
Thanks for your honesty! I can't wait for Voultar's 2 Chip RGB board to come out...game changer!
That Raw case us just superb. The black with red trim is outrageous. Wish there was a before and after for the original case.
Another great video, Tito. That shell is magnificent.😮 Raw Talent does incredible work glad you got a super Nintendo video up on the channel 👍
In the RGM filter comparison the colour hue is slightly darker in the modded system, while the unmodded has a warmer colour hue.
The work on the shell in particular is amazing! reminds me that I have basically a working pcb and such of a snes sitting around because the original shell it was in had gotten to the point of being brittle.
Thinking about all the community work that went into making this gorgeous machine possible gives me serious goosebumps. Console mod developers really are the lifeblood of the retro gaming space.
Amazing build, you definitely went above and beyond. The paint job is next level. Keep modding and creating cool stuff like this, and we'll keep watching.👏👍🤙🕹
14:04 maybe it's my decade as a pc gamer, but I absolutely can tell a difference here. The right looks cleaner. Not a lot, but it's there.
That RGB filter made a large difference in my opinion.
Yeah, it wasn't groundbreaking but the colours were definitely richer, which in turn slightly improved the pixel edge clarity.
its the same pixelated horseshit man
Man Nacho I always love your videos dude they always so polished.
P.s that's mean paint job. One of my favourite colours. Gunmetal gray with some Pearl through it but what I love the most is the individual colour pinstriping so dope and creative. Love it
And by polished I mean the works!! Seriously brother watching your work is like a treat. To me personally your work is art. Thank you
That paint job. 🤩
Did an rgb mod on a SNES mini. Worked great! I do love the classic form factor but the mini saves a bit of space
I've been using that RGB filter mod on a launch model motherboard SHVC-CPU-01 and it works great, no damaged.
It's best used on ones that have a very bad black line smear. Honestly a bad comparison here as it does great work but maybe not in the best way.
Definitely looking forward to trying out Voultar's RGB Filter once it's ready. At the end of the day, great video man. Thanks.
Great video as always! Perhaps you can do a follow-up with the digital audio mod?
since retrotink 4k has optical in!
Just a quick note for anyone purchasing those cartridge adapters. The VAST majority of them do NOT pass the expansion pins to the console, Even if the pins exist on both sides, many times they are NOT connected internally. I have only ever seen ONE youtube video of an adapter from South Korea that passes those pins and can work with expansion chip games. But i have never been able to track one down myself. This is the ONLY reason why i still use my north american SNES with torn out tabs rather than just rely on the more available, cheaper SFCs.
Dang, that Super Famicom looks crisp! If there were a Super Famicom shell with a US SNES rectangular slot instead that would probably be the mod I'd prefer for my own SNES rather than region-unlock a PAL and use a cartridge adapter.
That’s the best looking shell I’ve seen for any console. I really want to try painting one myself but I doubt I’ll be able to get that kind of quality
Nicely done! Do you know if your stock SNES is a 1-Chip or 2-Chip model?
Man, your soldering job is a piece of art! :)
btw, for Seiken Densetsu 3, "Seiken" is pronounced like "say ken" and not "sigh ken". In Japanese, "e" is always "eh".
The way you're saying it, it would have to be spelled "Saiken Densetsu 3."
Japanese is pronounced remarkable similarly to Spanish, so if you know any, that's a safe way to sound it out.
so that's why it's spelled, "baka gaijin~!!"
I wish i had soldering skills like Mr. Naco! Great content!
The EU Snes Model looks so much better than the US. Just my opinion.
The Japanese and pal snes certainly has much sleaker design
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more SNES content on your channel. Hopefully someone will produce an HDMI mod one day.
Does the SuperCIC mod automatically switch between 50 and 60Hz as well as changing region?
The shell and the LEDs, the perfectly colored vents on the back... This is my personal favorite SNES. Hats off.
i can see the modded PAL console image is slightly sharper than the unmodded NTSC when you zoom in. it's not a huge difference but it is indeed there.
That shell is a bloody work of art. Absolutely amazing 😍
Great video showing the soldering skills at hand! Only one part of the video did not come out (probably?) as intended, being the zoom-in of the retrotink 5x pro side by side showing the detail. It looks even more blurry since you enabled the premium bitrate on your channel. That aside everything else was excellent. Makes me want to try some of these mods on my SFC.
Kind of a sidenote but the japanese box of Chrono Trigger looks amazing and the one you got seems to be in pretty much perfect shape!
Dude, your one of my favorite channels. Watching you mod is so satisfying! 😎
I think the RGB filter is intended for Two Chip consoles. I don't know the technical details, but the earliest models used two processing chips and produced a softer RGB image. Later board revisions consolidated the two processing chips into one. These models are called One Chip consoles, and have significantly sharper video. If your stock NTSC is a One Chip, I wouldn't expect much change between it and a Two Chip console with the RGB filter.
Looks sick! 🤩
That shell sure is gorgeous
That is undoubtedly the best looking SNES I've ever seen. Exactly how I've always wanted to paint my dream car. Love that he doesn't paint good condition original examples.
Beautiful soldering job, it looks so pro.
I'm always interest about the new way for build up old console to making it still relevant until now and adding some hardware for upgrade it
Me too!
I don't know if that Super CIC has dual oscillators, but if it doesn't you should get a standalone DFO to avoid desync speed issues between the PAL console and NTSC games.
Love the SNES content. I had a opportunity to chat with Tito at Retro World Expo. Real good guy.
usually pal got the short end of the stick when it came to picture quality back in the days and the whole 50hz limitation, but we sure got the better looking super nintendo.
Looks great - liked the SNES coverage!
Voultars rgb mod for the snes is a complete game changer. No more hunting for 1-chip snes can literally have any model and it look chrispy.
That case though is super sexy! Does he take commissions for custom work?
It would be nice to see the S-ENC component mod as well. Thank you for posting the video
Not even 15 seconds in and I'm hit with massive nostalgia at my two favorite games of all time. A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger. Absolute masterpieces.
Try looking at the RGB filter comparison on an IPS screen. My laptop is IPS, and even though it wasn't great, I could clearly see a difference between the filtered and non-filtered images.
That is freaking sexy looking.
Almost looks like something out of TRON
I can't get over how good that thing looks, it's insane
RAWTALENTART Shells looks stunning, thanks for sharing this! I wonder what kind of paint is that? Would love to paint some of mine.
Great video! But you should force 4:3 mode on your monitor, because the picture is stretched in 16:9 (since the Super Nintendo does not natively support widescreen).
Can’t wait for the Hyper Nintendo Entertainment System!
Beautiful shell, it's like something out of Tron or Knight Rider.
Cool to see you doing a video about the SNES. I still wish that one day we'll get to see an HDMI mod for it like we have (had) for the NES and for the N64.
Pixelfx was starting work on sneshd but recently dropped it but im wondering if they will incorporate snes into the retrogem.
@@matthewjohnson1891 Would sure like to see something. Wonder why they dropped the SNESHD project.
Great video so exciting to watch. I think it looks amazing.
I love the shell and the fact that you went all out to mod a PAL system to play all regions. I didn't know that PAL systems have the lock-out chip as the USA regions don't. Back in the day, I played a Dragon Ball Z fighting game that was Japanese, which is also NTSC. I used the SNES Game Geanie kinda like how you used the adaptor. Maybe doing an HDMI mod and undoing the RPG MOD would be cool?
NTSC snes have a region lock. You can’t play PAL games on it without modding it
So you are only out exclusive European and Chinese games, mostly. All Japanese games will work in a NA SNES with a small modification. The removal of 2 plastic tabs.
I kind of wonder about designing and 3D printing a new shell. I could 3D scan the inside of the old one to get the alignment right. I've done it with a game controller and it came out really cool.
You really need to re-cap the motherboard too. They are prone to leaking. There are also lots of other good mods you could have done, like adding 100nf ceramic caps on-top of the existing caps that surround the PPU chips to reduce ghosting. There is also another mod where you put a 1700uf (or so) cap across the main power transistor, which reduces ghosting further. Also, it makes more sense to use a Japenese SNES since it can play both USA and JP games at 60hz without the need of a SuperCIC.
Hey there Tito! I know you've got the name of the intro song in the description, but I've always wondered what the song is that plays throughout all your videos. Keep up the great work dude! ❤️
that looks amazing well done
I don't understand how you're not seeing the difference with the RGB filter, because I see it absolutely clear as day.
Nice video and a slick looking SNES for sure, but I'd hardly call it the "ultimate" SNES until it's modded for optical audio.
Great video. I'm really looking forward to seeing you feature Voultar's new upcoming mod.
Great video!
Thanks tito,to make ultimate childhood console
You’re most welcome! So glad you enjoyed the video
Main reason for DeJitter has traditionally been for OSSC. Many TVs don’t support 3x or more through OSSC without it. I even have a PC monitor that works with 3x, gets flaky with 4x, and doesn’t work at all with 5x… until you do DeJitter. Of course, we now have other scalers that can deal with this better, like RetroTink 5x.
You’re going to win car shows with that paint job!
On the US version you can break off two tabs and play most if not all NA or Japanese on it. Pal I believe needs a game genie or action replay to get are the electrical lock. That shell is pretty sick though.
NA and Japanese machines have the same region chip.
Does it ran at the PAL frame rate when playing US games? 25 FPS instead of 30?
Great video as always, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Just out of curiosity do you have any plans for any other consoles to make them better than they are?
I do! Also check out some of my older videos. A lot of them show how to improve other consoles
That's basically what his channel is all about lol
@@MachoNachoProductions ok thanks
That was one of the most beautiful, super Nintendo's I've ever seen😮
I would say that there's *definitely* more colour gamut in the RGB filtered one. If you look at the reds of the arm wrap on Raphael's right arm ( 14:19 ) it is definitely 'more' of whatever reds are there.
yeah, they look pretty visibly different to me. a definite improvement with the mod
With the dark green of the space between the grates being darker and the grates themselves looking a bit sharper, Raphael’s arm stands out much better altogether. There could still be a little better definition of his sai, but overall, it’s still a considerable improvement.
