Sup /vr/. My snes has a tiny problem where there are some curvy lines that appear while I play (as shown in the picture). It's not really a big deal but I was just wondering why it happens and if there is any way to fix/improve it. I'm using the RF output by the way. (The red/yellow/white cable doesn't work because the chip in the snes is busted)

I know that sounded dumb as hell, but the composite output is way worse, where all you see is a mess of green lines that barely resembles the game. The only thing that could be wrong is something in the snes since I tried like 3 different new composite cables.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 17 00:33:25 2013 No.809149 >>809138 I tried using both cables in different TVs, the only thing that changed is that the composite only has sound and no video, but the RF stays the same.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 17 01:25:24 2013 No.809284 >>809149 Sounds more like a bad joint or discreet component. It can't be a broken chip. Both the RF and composite source video from the same chip (the PPU). And in the case of composite, it's sourced directly.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 17 01:45:24 2013 No.809324 >>809284 The PPU doesn't output straight composite. This isn't a NES. There's an encoder chip. (which also outputs S-video and GLORIOUS RGB) The composite from that then goes to the RF modulator I guess.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 17 04:30:55 2013 No.809821 >>809096 I stand corrected. The shield is actually in there.
