[Try4ce] For those curious about some of the more obscure games featured in the episode... since these mods are installed in a Super Famicom, I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to use every Japanese cart that I own in the making of this video. Some games were off the FX Pak Pro, and some were American carts, but I'd say most clips were recorded using my actual real Japanese carts... the list of which can be found here: backloggery.com/games.php?user=Try4ce&search=&console=SNES&status=&unplayed=&rating=®ion=1&own=0

Classic style episode, brings back memories of watching the 100 & 200 series with my dad ❤

I am so glad I stayed until after the credits. That memoriam bit was exquisite. 🍷

I am definetly in the "those pixels are not supposed to be sharp" and "composite on CRT or go home" camp and even though I mostly play through emulation these days it is always via CRT-Royale filter. 😁 But I am still always excited to see how much extra people are managing to extract from these old hardware. 👍

My thoughts exactly! Even if I prefer the CRT look that blends things you can't help but admire the work that people are able to do in modifying consoles to look how they want. Also kudos to the amazing camera and editing work from the video's creator! Such high production value that a lot of channels could take notes from

I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos. They are so wonderfully filmed and edited. You’re channel has introduced me to such a interesting and welcoming community. Thanks!

Everyone who works on getting the most out of these classic consoles and making them look their best is doing an amazing job. Also, I think MLIG has done fantastic work over the years since RGB101 in explaining what can be confusing and very technical details in a way that makes sense to us non electrical engineers, so thank you!

That power switch sticker was added when Nintendo removed the power interlock and redesigned American cartridges to defeat it. Supposedly you could blow a fuse but enough people were breaking the console anyway that they calculated there would be fewer returns for blown fuses than whatever was happening with the oafs who couldn’t handle the interlock!

I don't mind a bit of blur. It helps mask limitations in pixel design and can aid in achieving the illusion of smooth animation. But each to their own, maybe you want all your games to look like 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Video capture and streaming seem to benefit most from pixel sharpness, tbh in regards of enjoyment of actual gameplay nowadays, the video image being supersharp makes zero difference to me, but I do know that most CRT fans like a little blur to their screen also to gift the picture with more authentic results.

The quality of your cameras and capture systems are incredible. Thank you for the years of continually impressive content!

The work you put into your videos is insane. I love it so much. Every one is so high quality and thought through, I am in awe 100% percent of the time with your thoughtfulness and rigor.

I appreciate all the effort in capturing from everything from the Framemeister to the Tink 4k and then CRT comparisons. Excellent work and thank you! Very impressive what Voultar has achieved and the effort put into making these mods work. As it stands right now, I could order these boards and be completely happy with the results. Though, somehow I also get the feeling that he'll take the feedback as a challenge and if it's possible, future revisions will be near identical to 1CHIP in all aspects.

[Try4ce] I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on this. If you noticed that one pic I showed of his in development process, he over-sharpened to the point there were halos! So my takeaway from that is that this may be the best balance. I'm not sure if you can get quite to the 1CHIP without replacing the PPU with an FPGA, in which case you lose part of that original hardware appeal. Either way, I feel the differences between models now is so small that the small clarity advantage to the 1CHIPs is mostly an academic difference at this point. It's there, and I wanted to point it out for those who really can't compromise on it so people have realistic expectations going in.

The best video game channel on youtube by faaaar. Been a fan since over 10 years!

This video cleared up a lot of questions I had for this mod, thanks a bunch! I primarily play my SNES on my CRT so this mod seems to not be in dire need for me at this moment but if my setup ever changes I will definitely be in the market. Voultar does great work!

My original 1-CHIP console, combined with an rgb cable from retro gaming cables and a sony trinitron CRT was the way to go for me! Amazing image quality, vibrant colors with no ghosting whatsoever.

Always a good day to get a new video from you guys! I totally get the difficulty in peeling that sticker at the end. All of my Xbox 360 and One consoles still have the stickers under the disc drives. I have a backwards compatible PS3 with the sticker bubbling up from the power/eject button. I don't know why, but I feel like they look like they belong. If I still had my original SNES, the sticker would probably still be on it, in the same condition yours was.

This is really fascinating! I used to be super obsessed with video quality and watched your videos multiple times for fun, but as I’ve got older I’ve moved on from that and just use my recently acquired consoles over composite so I won’t have to pay for expensive hardware and cables, but nonetheless this was a greatly entertaining video and it’s great to see new developments in this field. This issue has been around for so long and I’m glad someone finally solved it!

You cannot appeciate this older consoles graphics without composite video. Most graphics and games were designed around composite video and crts from the Nes, Snes, Master System, Sega Genesis/MD, PC Engine, Sega Saturn, Play Station, N64 and even the Dreamcast, Ps2, Gamecube and original Xbox era.

worth noting that doing all the mods to the 1chip will lively introduce a few flickering scanlines to the top few lines of the display. I noticed it constantly happening in Street Fighter, and it was one of the things that pushed me to the MiSTer instead of the endless headache of maintaining old hardware

I love how much work you guys put into these videos. It's been my favorite retro gaming channel for years, by far. It's very interesting to see the differences between all these mods, and how sharp the image can get, but I have to say: I still prefer my blurry composite cables on a consumer CRT, just because of all that color bleeding and stuff that blends the colors so well. Sometimes, I even put on the RF cable to see more bleeding lol.

Great video. Always top quality. I would like to make a suggestion though; I would love it if you guys started putting titles for the games on screen as you show them. Every one of your videos I watch, I always see games I think I would like to try, but can't identify them.

This is one of your best episodes in terms of educational value! really nice explanations!

The deepest nerdy nerd channel in the world! I love your work 👌🏼i have a rgb modded 1 chip jr. It looks perfect with the RetroTink 5x

Ya know I literally don’t have any retro consoles or clone consoles hooked up, hell my oldest console is a ps2 which is also shelved. So I’m really not the target demographic for these videos and yet I still adore them! Your passion and knowledge is just palpable

Holy heck this is so informative. I can only imagine the effort that goes into making this sort of video! Oh my goodness that epilogue. :D

I made my Super Nintendo sharp by filing down the edges. Now it's very sharp.

Oh my god, that ending skit was hilarious. You should do stuff like that in the style of Game Sac's end skits more often.

Awesome video, Try! I really love the RGB series of MLiG. ❤ And Damn, the end scene really made me sad.

This is great. I have been waiting for this mod for a while, to clean up my childhood 2-chip SNES.

I always really enjoy MLiG videos, they're a really informative dive into new developments and usually tell me the exact kind of things I'd want to know. I was sad you took that sticker off. Hopefully there's an "Adhesive101" series coming up that documents your attempts to re-attach it!

Nice touch at the very end of the video. I still have my original European SNES in decent condition too. One of my favourite consoles of all time.

Voultar was literally the first person I ever saw refer to the 3-chip consoles as “2-chip.” Someone asked him about it and he said that this is what the community has always called them but I think he is confused with people referring to dual PPUs. Regardless, referring to all non-1chips as 2-chips seems to be catching on now. Still, from my recollection the earliest consoles were always referred to as 3-chip or 2-PPU with “3-chip” being a commonly-understood retcon referring to the ones with discrete PPU and CPU chips. It’s all semantics now and I much appreciate his work. :)

I use CRTs and modern style displays Im sure this would make the image much more cleaner on a modern flatscreen :)

Interesting stuff. As a purest, you could say playing these on a consumer CRT, blur and all, is how we experienced it growing up. It is the most "accurate" way to play these games. I'll stick to playing SNES games on the MiSTer connected to a PVM via RGB :)

Bonus points for showing some very interesting titles on the SFC!

Wonderful video. How is it so long? Also the bit after the credits generated much mirth

I was curious with the OSSC to compare the "reverse LPF" filter with this new mod, since they're both designed to address the same kind of blurring. I imagine that the mod will do better, but I was wondering how close the filter can get.

I love the effort to get razor sharp pixels, only to then interpolate them and add scanlines effects etc. A lot of classic gaming enthusiasts chase their own tale trying to simultaneously get image quality that's inauthentically sharp AND recreate all the imperfections of old tech to create that subconscious nostalgic atmosphere. Paying to deblur and then paying again to reblur.

Despite being counterintuitive as heck, it actually kinda makes sense. People growing to prefer better image quality and the games being supposed to be CRT-filtered are both true. Going both routes at once is inauthentic, but it often ends up looking better to a lot of people.

After 8 years from your original snes video, things has changed a lot.

Some of the games shown I'm not familiar with but look fun to play - do you have a list of what game is shown in what video?

Hi... I recently got a Sony Wega 21 inch CRT and I'm planning on hooking up an snes to it. The thing is: it doesn't have S-Video input but it does support component. How can I get maximum results? I was thinking about the HD Retrovision component cable, but I don't know. I must say I'm pretty new at this and I'm very excited to finally have a (what I think is) a nice CRT in my setup. Thanks!

@mylifeingaming

[Try4ce] For that type of setup, HD Retrovision is by far the easiest way to get the best result. It will work as long as your SNES isn't the Jr. model, which needs a mod to output RGB (which HD Retrovision) converts to component.

I am so hyped for this mod, have been watching it evolve for years.

Can't wait to upgrade my 2-Chip when the kit becomes available. I also have a recap kit I've been waiting to add but I want to do it all at the same time. 2024 is the year of the SNES! 🙂

I've tested both 1chip and the earliest SFC on my CRT TV yesterday - both 100% stock unmodded and I was surprised that you can notice 1chip being much sharper even on CRT but to be fair both look absolutely great. With SNES systems getting cheaper and cheaper each month and retro consoles getting out of fashion past year or so it might be a lot cheaper to simply get 1chip and not bother with this mod but it's cool to see it.

rgb 100 class: Sampling episode would be really good. I guess I could say 300, but just understanding it better and even potentially how it effects 3D content would be really nice. I really liked that topic a lot

It was so much easier in the old days importing consoles from Japan to Europe via the mail order companies in the back of Mean Machine Magazine. With just the basic knowledge that you'll need an NTSC compatible Scart socket on your TV, that was the only thing on your checklist in 1990 and was a big upgrade from the Ataris or home computers on RF only TVs ! Yet the whole decade was flooded with discussions by confused consumers. Choosing a Japanese brand TV pretty much guaranteed you'd be playing Japan's latest hits on arrival. The importers provided the correct PSU and Scart cable. Also another big wave of discussions back then was the holiday makers who brought consoles home from NTSC regions and got no colour.

Thankyou, a great video, and I love the end ..awesome work !

[Try4ce] I'd say play with it for a while and decide if you'd like any mods. Use the Firebrand X profiles (10X DAR is my favorite) and run the Auto-Gain setting to mostly fix the brightness issues. If you spot the ghosting problems, then get the C11 capacitor upgrade done. But while you're at it, you may as well get the RGB bypass done too because it corrects the brightness and makes things just that much better. But if you don't notice the ghosting then you might be alright as-is.

I'm genuinely sad about the sticker. On the topic at hand. I do want to keep the composite and s-video signal, so I might pass on this mod. It's crazy, because I've been waiting for it, for about two years. But if those are going to be a no go, that's a deal breaker for me. Also, would you mind being more specific about how you're connecting the modded snes 2 chip to the retrotink 5x. I got kinda confused, so, what is going to happen if I do the mod and connect the snes to a CRT via composite or s-video, will there be no signal?, or just no change at all?

I have a few 1CHIP models of the SNES, which takes care of the blur. I still have an original model also, since it IS the original.

I don't follow all the mods closely and am trying to figure out what's the best way to mod my consoles if at all. I bought a RetroTink 5X Pro and custom actual 2 wire S-Video Nintendo cable and love it. I don't have many games in the first place, and can emulate if I want to. My question is the cost of analog mods as much as HDMI mods, and is the HDMI mod the best quality? If I HDMI Mod do I then need the RT 4K because it will be HDMI 240p etc, and my LG C1 most likely won't support that. I don't want to spend a ton of money here since I rarely use them. 1. Stick with the RT and unmodded consoles. 2. Do all these analog mods and stick with RT 5X Pro. 3. HDMI mod all of my consoles and RT 4K?

[Try4ce] Well, it depends on what you're trying to go for. It's not the best if you want to play on a CRT. HDMI mods can be very interesting, but RGB or HDMI can be equally valid and useful. But if you're going for an upscaled pixel look, then sure, the pure digital signal could potentially be "best." As for why it's not available, I can only speculate. On one hand, you'd think someone would've done it by now since SNES is one of the more beloved consoles of all time. But I suspect it has to do with what goes on within the PPUs. I suspect it would involve removing at least one PPU and reintegrating it onto another board, or replacing at least one PPU outright with an FPGA recreation. This is just me guessing though, I don't know that much about what goes on in each and how they interact.
