/vr/ - Retro Games

These have better picture quality than earlier SNES revisions, also they have proper power buffering so eliminating the problem with the CPU getting zapped by voltage spikes (although the SNES can be modded to prevent this).

>>8752632
>can be modded to prevent this
Good call.

>>8752652
Replace the 7805 with one that has a higher rating or attach a 16V cap to the existing 7805. That will fix this issue.

>>8751942
Maybe sometime someone will come up with an FPGA replacement for those fried SNES CPUs; you can still get new 65816s from WDC so it would just be a matter of recreating the components that are unique to it namely the DMA controller and multiplier/divider.

if you can't answer that question yourself, the answer is no

>>8752628

Fixes or worth? Go buy Super NT, Supa Retron, and Gamerz Tek.

>>8752628
I'm surprised there's so much interest in acquiring a 1CHIP when you can just get a snes jr. which has as good video quality, without having to roll the dice on if you got a 1 or 2 chip motherboard.

>>8752628
they are emulator-tier, merely imitating the experience of proper SNES.

>>8752628

>>8752990
what is with the excessive bait posting around here
>>8752628
It's not worth going out of your way to find it no

>>8753305
He's fishing for (you)s. Anyway I just picked up a sns-101 last week to mod, unfortunately the chips are backordered for 3 months out. I really don't get why they aren't more popular.

>>8752628
You decide.

>>8752628
I'll take a whole bag of chips mate

>>8752628
I have one. Why? Is it super valuable or something?

>>8752632
I mod my composite encoder and power supply anyways, don't see the problem.

>>8754068
You compared the wrong one dumbass

>>8753305
>what is with the excessive bait posting around here
just stating facts.

>>8752990
What if it's literally made by nintendo?

the 1 chip is an upgrade of the original, like the newer switch versions.

>>8754852
Is it worth spending the extra money on?

>>8752628
>1chips
>has mutiple chips

>>8755373
It's referring to the video chip

SNES Jr ($100)
+
Voultar chip mod ($35)
+
HD retrovision cables ($65)
+
Random Sony Trinitron ($0-100)

How does this sound for a build?

>>8753250
See how Game Freak do proper SNES version of Pokemon or Pulseman

>>8755218
If you really like SNES and good video quality, than yes

>>8754803
ps2 slim has tons of compatibility-quirks/-issues with previously released ps2-games and was made by sony.
same situation with the 1chip.
what's your point?

>>8755845
What are the 1chip compatibility issues?

One bit.

>>8756152
Wat

I have every Snes revision, and to be honest i cant tell the sifference between my componwnt modded GPM02 and my 1chip-03 with Svideo.

I play on a 30" Trinitron and they both look great, so its up to your autism if you trully really want a 1chip, but of you dont want to spens so much, just get a GPM02 and moddit fpr component.

>>8755871
super turrican audio glitch
super castlevania sprite glitch
etc.

>>8757421
Program issues

>>8757585
not with an original snes
__:^)__

bump

See here. Deficient power filtering causing voltage spikes that shorted out components in the console.

>>8755635
Sounds like you're overpaying for a Junior, mate

And this is the preventative fix. Attach 16V cap to the ground and out of the 7805.

>>8761027
I am told that SFCs usually have the big C17 cap but it's often missing from US models.

bump

>>8752990
Pretty much this. Nintendo saved a lot of money with the 1 chip design and it shows with the jagged sharp picture and over saturated colors.

>>8761027
>>8761287
Or just replace the 7805 with one rated for 2A. Console5 sells em for $1 each.

>>8761027
Note that an unmodified SNES won't immediately get zapped, you might use it for years without any problems but if your house doesn't have the best power grid or you don't use a surge protector you could be fucked.

>>8761006
How much do Jr SNESes go for?

>>8762484
That anon is still in denial about the current retro game market and inflation. SNES Jrs go for 85-100 so yeah I wouldn't feel too bad paying 100.

Some 1chips can't csync.

>>8764253
What's csync?

>>8761002
> see here
> nothing to see
very interesting

>>8764565
composite sync

>>8764565
https://www.retrorgb.com/snescsync.html

>>8764719
>>8764726
why bother with composite sync
what's wrong with using cvbs for sync

>>8764732
not exactly sure myself. just replying with the definition and what it is. i wouldn't use it. i think it's just an argument anon was making to not use 1chip but it really doesn't matter at the end of the day, as long as machine runs and looks fine. the autism here is a bit too much for me to comprehend.

>>8764732
>>8764565
it's not allowed to post in /vr/ unless you know the ins and outs of csync.

>>8752632
Does nobody here use surge protectors? Do you all just plug your shit straight into the wall like a bunch of animals?

>>8762484
>>8762868
I would say that $100 is definitely on the upper end of the acceptable range, but not completely ridiculous. Prices have really gone up just in the past 6 months. If you were planning to pay $100 for a SNES Jr in March 2021 I would have told you that you were overpaying by at least 30%, but now that's a pretty acceptable price, especially if the console is in good physical condition.

>>8752990
Yep. Sound is off too. May as well play on your Wii instead.

>>8765372
>Do you all just plug your shit straight into the wall like a bunch of animals?
I used to do it in an old house with old wiring. I honestly don't know how my SNES is still alive but it is. That was long before I knew about its, ahem, design flaws.

>>8761002
How do you know that has been caused by a power issue? That post doesn't really explain anything, it's just a guy who has a faulty snes which he may have dropped

>>8765423
The power filtering issues with the SNES are well documented. It's not protected sufficiently from voltage spikes and those short out the ICs.

>>8761006
>>8762484
>>8765372
I paid $100, I thought it was really clean though. Came with a controller and a 3rd party power adapter. I have the cables in the mail right now and the chip is on backorder. I am trying to find a Trinitron locally but I know that's a waiting game sometimes, I'll be waiting a few months for the chip anyways.

>>8762868
>>8765372
>>8765507
I got mine with a controller for around $96 after shipping and taxes last August.

>>8766197
Did yours come with the sns-101 controller? What do you think of it?

>>8752628
The Super Famicom is a great console, it's worth to spend a little extra to get better image quality.

>>8765392
as I said a good surge protector means you're pretty safe but still I wouldn't risk an unmodified SNES

>>8761002
I definitely experienced those Mario Kart problems he had on my childhood SNES.

>>8767176
Mario Kart uses the multiplier/divider. If that's damaged you may not immediately notice until you play a game that uses it.

>>8767176
Knew a guy whose launch SNES purchased in August '91 died not long after he got it.

>>8752679
Oh yeah

I have only three SNES games: SMW, Yoshi's Island, and ALTTP none of which use the multiplier/divider that I'm aware of. Mine could be bad and I don't even know it.

>>8757421
Super Turrican is literally my favorite game, bummer!

>>8766197
Hey I'm >>8765507 and >>8766265 , did your controller look like this?

>>8752628
sure

>>8766265
Nah, it was a regular snes controller. I do love the Jr, as it is super compact.

>>8770079
Are you interested in owning this guy >>8768140 ? desu I ordered an SN30 and don't see myself using the original controller at all.

>>8770769
Sure, I'm at work right now so I can't send messages on their wifi or my data. Are you just looking to give it away?

>>8770945
Yeah, I'm not trying to make money and I don't need it, I'd like it to stay with a Jr if possible. All I'd ask is that you cover shipping

>>8765460
I'm surprised that Nintendo made such a horrible and so easily avoidable design mistake as this.

>>8770979
I wouldn't mind that at all, just depends on the costs. I live in Texas if that gives a good estimate.
