Do these have more longevity than the regular SNES?

Simplified motherboard, less components likely to fail.Unfortunately, this model lacks RGB support.

No native s-video, either

The US model SNES specially the SHVC is prone to fried CPUs because of poor power filtering. However SFC and PAL SNES should be safe.

I don't understand why these aren't more sought after. They have the best picture output quality and you don't have to gamble on getting a 1chip or 2 chip model. I was surprised how cheap they were on ebay.

Time to learn how to solder fucko. You're gonna have to eventually, these are decades old my guy.

I literally had this exact same package, with the Yoshi's Island Game Pak included. I think it cost under $100, which was a steal, but then again the N64 era was well under way at the time.

The internal video encoder still supports S-Video and RGB, it's just that the pins on the encoder were left unused. Even if you did not use S-Video, the composite output was much improved from the original SNES. I modded mine to support S-Video years ago using this guide here: https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av:snes2rgb

Same, this is what I have - love this thing
here is a quick and dirty composite vs RGB comparison i did on a PVM

this can be avoided by using the original Nintendo power brick and a surge protector

And since I'll get called out for being a PVM shitlord, for the record I have a separate shadowmask set that I run a lot of consoles/games into with composite or S-Video

I think there's a time and a place for both, but for the SNES overall I prefer RGB running into the PVM - obviously it all comes down purely to personal preference. But for me, glad I have RGB modded into the SNES Jr.

good job ruining the rest of the library for new SNES owners by including a literal 12/10 as the pack-in, Nintendo

you want to include a main-in coupon for a free copy of Chrono Trigger while you're at it?

Its the same situation as the launch model Neo geo where all the voltage regulation components are in the brick instead of the system then?

>> No.9422427

>>9422390
I think so. The US SNES has a large filter cap in the brick but nothing on the console side. SFCs and PAL SNESes instead have a cap at C58 for power filtering. It does seem that dead SNESes are almost invariably US models, usually the SHVC and GPM-01.

It doesn’t work with the multi tap so no 4 player bomberman.
