    It's funny how this episode is basically the last 3 months of my SNES' Life for me.
    My SNES Jr. was the one that Voultar discovered the C11 fix with in the mega-thread about it on Shmups. What a ride this has been. I'm really glad he found a fix and, even better, he actually hand-tuned all color channels for me and will be shipping the SNES back soon with as accurate an image as possible via analog.
    I'm looking forward to testing the Super nt in February against this super beast SNES. Thanks to MLig, Voultar, and RetroRGB for all your info & help in this rocky transition.

      Good stuff GigaBoots. I just installed Voultar's THS7374 RGB bypass board in my recently acquired brand new mini/jr 1chip, and to my dismay it has the same problem described in the forum thread. The wobble on the left side of the screen and the ghosting are pretty bad. I'd bet the issue is a bit more widespread than they think.

    It’s super cool to know how to get this good of image quality. Replacing the capacitor especially helps, cause I always notice the repeating patterns. Once a mod is available for the first revision though, that’ll be even better since you won’t have to compromise on the games that have problems on the 1CHIP, no matter how small that list might be.

      Oh and i forgot: ALWAYS add resistors(+a cap) when going the RGB route, add it to the sync line...i think its 470 ohms and an added 220uF cap for terminal connections

  • @RedArremer
    @RedArremer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Hey I recognize a lot of that comparison work with Mega Man X ;-) It was discovered unfortunately that some games show a glitch much more obviously with the C11 fix. Specifically some Capcom games (especially the Street Fighter series) will show darkened rows of pixels at the top of the screen. The higher the cap rating, the worse the glitch becomes. It should be noted that this glitch even shows up with the stock capacitor, so it's not the fault of the fix, but more just another in the list of issues with the 1CHIP compatibility of the SNES library. Also I want to point out that you can sometimes get lucky with the 1CHIP series and get beautifully sharp graphics WITHOUT a bypass board, but this is pure chance. My mini is modded with Voultar's board, but my SNES 1CHIP-03 is stock (though I added 750 Ohm resistors on the RGB lines myself to bring the brightness down to spec). I also restored the csync on my 1CHIP-03 using Console5's kit. This is an important PSA: previous methods of restoring csync on the 1CHIP-03 was to use a jumper wire soldered on the board. This is now considered bad practice, because the caps and resistors needed to ensure the csync line is in spec are missing. It requires SMD soldering skill, so have a modder do it you're not experienced with soldering. Lastly, ALL SNES consoles can be modded with digital sound output, which delivers crystal clear audio to compatible receivers and amps. Thankfully most amps are, as is my Sony amp. I also found a cheap USB digital audio box that lets me feed the SNES digital audio directly into my computer's sound recording program, making for perfect digital sound when recording gameplay footage, or just ripping my favorite SNES soundtracks.

    • @nickwallette6201
      @nickwallette6201 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've had problems with digital output from game consoles before where, during silence, the output was not just zeroes, but completely unclocked. There is always a slight delay in starting up an external DAC when sound comes back in, because the digital audio receiver chip has to synch up to the new audio clock. This leads to just a bit of missing audio at the very start.
      This was particularly bad on the PS2 in games where there would be something like footsteps with no BG music. Every foot step would require the receiver to recover the stream anew, and you might not even hear the "step" because it was barely longer than the resynch time. (My receiver's display would constantly be scrolling "PCM 44kHz" as it reacquired the signal every 600ms or so.)
      This may not be an issue with the SNES, because it had a fixed clock, whereas the PS2 can be set for a few different sample rates. In that case, it might always be running whether there's audio or not. If so, then great!
      Point being, it's worth testing before going to the trouble of modding, and sometimes it's just better to stick with analog.

    • @RedArremer
      @RedArremer 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nick, thankfully the SNES is fixed. You miss like 1 second of audio when first powering on the game, but then it stays on after that.

    • @RedArremer
      @RedArremer 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ Unmaker, Sure no problem. Please note that your software recorder must be set to the same sample rate as the USB box, then you change the "playback rate" of the recording to 32Khz to correct the speed of the recording. Do not confuse "playback rate" with "sample rate" though. The USB box can be set to 44.1Khz or 48Khz. I just set mine to 48Khz, record the audio, and then change the playback rate to 32Khz. If you try playing the recording at the original 48Khz, it will sound really sped up. Anyway, here's the link to the one I use:

    @shmehfleh3115 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hold on, guys. Let's not confuse electrolytic capacitors with capacitors in general. It's a safe bet that electrolytic caps, especially the cheap crappy ones often used in old game consoles, will dry up, leak, or otherwise die eventually. However, ceramic caps, which most SMD packages are, generally don't fail or drift out of spec unless they're damaged by something like a voltage spike or excessive heat. I wouldn't be surprised if C11 on the 1Chip SNES was badly-speced from the factory, and that ghosting issue was there from the start.

      Canada-only for the moment. I want to get domestic shipments running smoothly before I ship anything internationally. I'm hoping to look into it in the near future in order to help Voultar spread his warez all over the planet.

    I just installed Voultar's board into a SNES mini for a friend, and it looks great! Still waiting on the fix for smearing on my 3 chip SNES however. Already lifted PPU2 pin 3 to clear up the grid pattern across the screen, just need a fix for smearing...

    SNES RGB may look better than S-Video at a first glance but after awhile you will notice that the S Video coming out of the SNES is not as bright, is sharper and the colors look right. For right now im convinced that what ever set up you use. That the S-Video signal on a SNES is better than the RGB signal. So by default everyone says that the RGB signal is better than S-Video which is true for most retro consoles but not for the Super Nintendo and I might say that the Super Nintendo has a very good stock S-Video signal.
    My favorite SNES game Super Castlevania IV doesn't look good in RGB in my opinion (original or 1chip snes) but looks good in S-Video on original hardware and a 1 chip.
    With that being said the best way to play SNES in my opinon for the best video on stock is S-Video.

    I love the video quality of the SNES Mini and the older 1CHIP SNES revisions, but the fact that they slow down Super FX games is a deal breaker for me. So I've instead settled for my SNES that has an SNS-CPU-GPM-02 motherboard. Its S-ENC video encoder outputs a softer, decent look on RGB to component. I don't mind it at all, I actually prefer it.

    @My Life In Gaming "The outside of the system doesn't give any tell tale signs" It can help though ... there is a page on retroRGB about this. Assuming you are not being conned the serial numbers can tell you if the inside components should be a 1chip. The probability of a UN31.... barcode being a 1Chip unless the insides have been gutted is extremely high. This is how I have managed to find them.

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      [Try4ce] Yes, but you still can't be sure. I grabbed a $8 SNES that I thought had a good chance of being a 1CHIP, but alas, it was not.

    This is kind of outside the scope of a video on image quality, but what are your thoughts on the SuperCIC? Pulling the security tabs out might work for playing Japanese games on an NTSC console, but if you want to play PAL games the SuperCIC is the way to go. I had my PAL SNES fitted with one, and it works with every US and Japanese game I've thrown at it. Of course, the US games require an adapter. The modification also lets you change the output from 50Hz to 60Hz or Auto, which detects whether the game is PAL or NTSC and sets the output accordingly.

  • @nintenjoe5k422
    @nintenjoe5k422 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    There are cosmetic differences between a launch SNES and a 1Chip SNES. Look at the eject button. If the word “eject” is painted on it, it’s a launch SNES. If it’s embossed in the plastic, it’s probably a 1Chip. Also, later SNES consoles had a sticker under the power button.

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      [Try4ce] Yes this is true, but not at all 100% marker of 1CHIP. The embossed Eject buttons and stickers can absolutely be on non-1CHIP consoles.
