There are some definite differences in the RGB comparison at 14:19. The unmodified one has a lot more pixel bleed if you look at the reds and oranges. If you look at the black diagonal in the lower left, it causes the unmodified image to have a gradient in the grays.

I'm not a SNES or modding expert at all. But interesting how people actually "see" much sharper pixels and whatnot for something called an "RGB"-mod. What I see for sure on a decent colorspace screen however, is quite some noticeable degradation in color brightness/saturation. The RGB-mod color examples shown in this video at least look considerably darker/dirtier as if they had (s)RGB-"typical" reduced colorspace. It's not even marginal, it's actually quite noticeable. Combined with the risks mentioned I don't quite see why anyone would want to degrade their SNES colourspace voluntarily.

Yaaass an SNES video! *Edit* awesome video, I will say that if you get a Super Famicom it will play all North American carts as well. The issue with the PAL region is more that it runs at 50hz rather than 60hz. I myself prefer the original look of the Super Famicom over the north American SNES so that shell is 🔥. I have a clear SFC shell on my Super Famicom with a wider cartridge hole at the top to allow north American carts.

I much prefer the look of the Japanese/PAL region console.

@MechaBouncer

I actually came here to mention this. Both the Japanese Super Famicom and North American Super Nintendo are using NTSC at 60Hz. They are electrically identical. The only thing preventing the carts from working is the different sized and shaped carts and slots. You can do the opposite and make the North American SNES run Japanese SFC games with minimal modification. There are 2 plastic tabs that prevent the SFC cartridges from seating in a SNES. I know this because I modified my North American SNES to remove those tabs. I just took a pair of pliers and bent and tore those out. I have a few Japanese SFC games that I've played on my North American SNES without any soldering or cartridge adapters. They just work. Also funny story is that the Japanese Super Metroid is the exact same game as the North American version, but with Japanese subtitles turned on. Everything is in English by default. And I'm pretty sure it ended up being cheaper to buy than a North American version when I purchased it. Go figure. The cartridge adapter should only be necessary to fit the larger cartridges into the SFC slot without modifying the case. But then it wouldn't look nearly as sleek and sexy. The Japanese SFC and European SNES hands down looked so much better than the boxy North American SNES. It's a shame. Maybe I'll have to pick up a Japanese SFC and do a case swap on it for something like this. That would be gorgeous.

@@MechaBouncer yeah I've removed the plastic tabs on my north American console as well. But I'm glad for the more elegant solution of a new shell for my SFC. My SFC is a one-chip model so it's my preferred way to play. I'll do the RGB bypass mod from Voultar on it eventually.

The work on the shell in particular is amazing! reminds me that I have basically a working pcb and such of a snes sitting around because the original shell it was in had gotten to the point of being brittle.

Another great video, Tito. That shell is magnificent.😮 Raw Talent does incredible work glad you got a super Nintendo video up on the channel 👍

Great video, Tito, as usual! The case it's very cool, but I was hoping for some more mods to justify the "ultimate" tag: for example the fix of the fps difference from NTSC and PAL, or an hdmi output for modern TV, with an upscaler chipset... Hoping for the future, there's a lot of space in SNES case :)

The RGB filter would probably be better for earlier SNES's. The early SNES's DAC's output a really soft picture and they also have grey line in the middle that show's up on dark areas in games. I have personally experienced this myself with one of my SNES's so I stick with my one chip Super Famicom which looks way sharper. My life in gaming has a good video on it. Great video as always!

The cause of jitter on the NES and SNES is that these systems output one fewer non-visible pixel on every odd frame versus every even frame. This is important to combat dot crawl on the composite video output but not needed with higher video quality outputs.

Thinking about all the community work that went into making this gorgeous machine possible gives me serious goosebumps. Console mod developers really are the lifeblood of the retro gaming space.

Thanks for your honesty! I can't wait for Voultar's 2 Chip RGB board to come out...game changer!

That Raw case us just superb. The black with red trim is outrageous. Wish there was a before and after for the original case.

I've been using that RGB filter mod on a launch model motherboard SHVC-CPU-01 and it works great, no damaged. It's best used on ones that have a very bad black line smear. Honestly a bad comparison here as it does great work but maybe not in the best way. Definitely looking forward to trying out Voultar's RGB Filter once it's ready. At the end of the day, great video man. Thanks.

I can definitely see a difference in that filter comparison. More contrast, deeper colors and a bit less fuzzy fringing on the edges of the pixels.

Nicely done! Do you know if your stock SNES is a 1-Chip or 2-Chip model?

Did an rgb mod on a SNES mini. Worked great! I do love the classic form factor but the mini saves a bit of space

In the RGM filter comparison the colour hue is slightly darker in the modded system, while the unmodded has a warmer colour hue.

14:04 maybe it's my decade as a pc gamer, but I absolutely can tell a difference here. The right looks cleaner. Not a lot, but it's there.

That paint job. 🤩

I think the RGB filter is intended for Two Chip consoles. I don't know the technical details, but the earliest models used two processing chips and produced a softer RGB image. Later board revisions consolidated the two processing chips into one. These models are called One Chip consoles, and have significantly sharper video. If your stock NTSC is a One Chip, I wouldn't expect much change between it and a Two Chip console with the RGB filter.

Dude, your one of my favorite channels. Watching you mod is so satisfying! 😎

Man, your soldering job is a piece of art! :)

Great video. Looking forward to seeing more SNES content on your channel. Hopefully someone will produce an HDMI mod one day. Does the SuperCIC mod automatically switch between 50 and 60Hz as well as changing region?

I wish i had soldering skills like Mr. Naco! Great content!

Just a quick note for anyone purchasing those cartridge adapters. The VAST majority of them do NOT pass the expansion pins to the console, Even if the pins exist on both sides, many times they are NOT connected internally. I have only ever seen ONE youtube video of an adapter from South Korea that passes those pins and can work with expansion chip games. But i have never been able to track one down myself. This is the ONLY reason why i still use my north american SNES with torn out tabs rather than just rely on the more available, cheaper SFCs.

That’s the best looking shell I’ve seen for any console. I really want to try painting one myself but I doubt I’ll be able to get that kind of quality

Great video so exciting to watch. I think it looks amazing.

You can't see the RGB filter difference?? It's so clear! Definitely an improvement.

That shell is a bloody work of art. Absolutely amazing 😍

Looks great - liked the SNES coverage!

Great video showing the soldering skills at hand! Only one part of the video did not come out (probably?) as intended, being the zoom-in of the retrotink 5x pro side by side showing the detail. It looks even more blurry since you enabled the premium bitrate on your channel. That aside everything else was excellent. Makes me want to try some of these mods on my SFC.

I kind of wonder about designing and 3D printing a new shell. I could 3D scan the inside of the old one to get the alignment right. I've done it with a game controller and it came out really cool.

Looks sick! 🤩

Are there any 2chip snes mods worth doing? Ive wanted to turn mine into USB C power but havent seen any good guides for it.Theres a vid on youtube but it isnt clear on everything

Dang, that Super Famicom looks crisp! If there were a Super Famicom shell with a US SNES rectangular slot instead that would probably be the mod I'd prefer for my own SNES rather than region-unlock a PAL and use a cartridge adapter.

Kind of a sidenote but the japanese box of Chrono Trigger looks amazing and the one you got seems to be in pretty much perfect shape!

Beautiful soldering job, it looks so pro.

I don't know if that Super CIC has dual oscillators, but if it doesn't you should get a standalone DFO to avoid desync speed issues between the PAL console and NTSC games.

Parabens pelo video, edição e audio incriveis. Quanto ao snes, a carcaça está linda, ja os mods eu vejo como muito trabalho pra pouca melhora. Se precisa ampliar pra ver o resultado, entao que joga a distancia da tv nem vai notar as diferenças.

Voultars rgb mod for the snes is a complete game changer. No more hunting for 1-chip snes can literally have any model and it look chrispy. That case though is super sexy! Does he take commissions for custom work?

Try looking at the RGB filter comparison on an IPS screen. My laptop is IPS, and even though it wasn't great, I could clearly see a difference between the filtered and non-filtered images.

Great video! But you should force 4:3 mode on your monitor, because the picture is stretched in 16:9 (since the Super Nintendo does not natively support widescreen).

i can see the modded PAL console image is slightly sharper than the unmodded NTSC when you zoom in. it's not a huge difference but it is indeed there.

Love the SNES content. I had a opportunity to chat with Tito at Retro World Expo. Real good guy.

@Macho Nacho Productions where did you find that region adapter with the full cart slot PCB? I’ve been looking for one of those for years so I can use a Super Gameboy 2 on my US SNES.

usually pal got the short end of the stick when it came to picture quality back in the days and the whole 50hz limitation, but we sure got the better looking super nintendo.

that looks amazing well done

You really need to re-cap the motherboard too. They are prone to leaking. There are also lots of other good mods you could have done, like adding 100nf ceramic caps on-top of the existing caps that surround the PPU chips to reduce ghosting. There is also another mod where you put a 1700uf (or so) cap across the main power transistor, which reduces ghosting further. Also, it makes more sense to use a Japenese SNES since it can play both USA and JP games at 60hz without the need of a SuperCIC.

That RGB filter made a large difference in my opinion.

Does it ran at the PAL frame rate when playing US games? 25 FPS instead of 30?

Very cool tutorials! I'm not sure I'd bother with a Super CIC since the FX Pak can circumvent those pesky region issues, but if you want to play original carts I guess this is the way.

If memory serves me correctly, Japan uses the same NTSC signal as the USA, but the Japanese Super Famicom aesthetic was maintained in Europe, while it was changed drastically for the USA to keep it from being used as a drink stand, because the NES had a constant problem with being used as a drink stand, resulting in repair shops having to clean NES systems that were damaged by fluids such as water, juice, soda, and beer as the most common. I'm thinking to get some of these SNES mods, like the shell, but I'm also thinking to just invest in a flash cart and an SD card for my SNES, so I can play all my emulation titles on my SNES. I'm also thinking to get some wireless SNES controllers, specifically with SFC button colors.

Nice video and a slick looking SNES for sure, but I'd hardly call it the "ultimate" SNES until it's modded for optical audio.

what kind of wire and size are u using on boards for your (and this) mod(s)???

15:29 what sort of cable do you use to connect a retrotink to the datapath? I've always left my datapath for VGA capture, and used cheap USB adapter for HDMI, but that looks nice!

btw, for Seiken Densetsu 3, "Seiken" is pronounced like "say ken" and not "sigh ken". In Japanese, "e" is always "eh". The way you're saying it, it would have to be spelled "Saiken Densetsu 3." Japanese is pronounced remarkable similarly to Spanish, so if you know any, that's a safe way to sound it out.
