Gamerade - Super Nintendo (SNES Jr) - Best Possible Video Quality - Adam Koralik

[@MrMario2011]

Just bought a SNES Jr. recently for $20, just now seeing this video makes me want to mod RGB capabilities back into it, especially after looking it up and seeing how easy it is. Just ordered more resistors than what I'll need for the mod itself for a little less than $2 :D

[@deloreanlover2611]

+MrMario2011 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@LITTLE1994]

$20? I got mine for $130!

[@robinsmith2373]

I had my original snes since I was a kid, I just use a hdmi adapter for it.

[@anthonycabanas8572]

@@LITTLE1994 i just bought one for $120 they getting up there in price. I saw one for $150 at a retro video game shop.

[@furukawanagisa7935]

Ever since covid started I've just been re watching your videos at like 3am. It's been fun

[@elliotthewitt7464]

Just to give you a mild technical explanation if you are curious, first, the video encoder chip (takes the video signals and turns them into S-Video or Composite, and as for RGB sends them to a little amplifier so it's visible), is pretty much the same as the one in the N64, where as the "original" SNES is not like that. Second, the reason it is so bright compared to a regular SNES is because you use a relatively modern amplifier to get the RGB signal going, so if its too bright, its possible to tone down the brightness with resistors but that's for the job of the person modding the console.

[@JazawaToad]

Damn, I went and looked up the RGB mod for the Snes Jr. and its piss easy if you know how to solder. This guy did a good job with it though. Glad you made a video on this, Adam.

[@AdamKoralik]

+JazawaToad Thanks for watching!

[@Matthew-cy5mb]

Omg I used to watch you all the time when I was in 4th grade and I’m so glad I found you again.

[@AdamKoralik]

Welcome back.

[@kristianhristov3469]

Hey Adam, I know my comment is off topic but just wanted to say that I am a huge fan of you and I love your content! I didn't know that Shenmue was even a thing until I found out your channel 4 months ago. I'm not a fan of the series, I've never played them, but I wanted to show my support and gratitude by supporting Shenmue 3 via PayPal ( Got the Physical PS4 version) Thank you so much for your videos man. Keep up the good work!

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

Scart was also used in most Japanese TVs as a format called JP-21 or RGB-21. Scart actually was built into some special TVs in North America called PVMs or BVMs. These monitors are higher quality than the regular CRTs most people used in the 80s and 90s. These monitors were the ones that would be used at TV stations. For more information check out My Life in Gaming on KZbin for more information. I really reccomend them for RGB and more about getting the best video quality on retro consoles! :3

[@eightbit1975]

Fast forward to today and people strive to simulate composite only with composite blend options in FPGA cores and so on...lol.

[@RandomisedGamingYouTube]

+AdamKoralik Just to explain in a bit more detail that wasn't covered in the video. The reason for the sharper picture is that the SNES Jr uses a version of the SNES ONE Chip. This chip is an improved video output processor and was also included in middle life models of the standard SNES for a short while, it was however discontinued fairly quickly due to some games suffering from graphical glitches not present on a standard SNES. So it does have some draw back, but the games that have issues with it appear to be few and far between.

[@AdamKoralik]

+Randomised Gaming Thanks for the info!

[@RandomisedGamingYouTube]

+AdamKoralik No problem, thanks for the RGB upscaler video by the way, we ended up sourcing a few different scalers for VGA and RGB for our own page and the quality of them has been a great improvement to our content. Note on a side note there have been a few a few discussions on games that don't work correct on the SNES Jr and/or SNES's with the ONE Chip here: www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=46303 There's also mention that Super Turrican suffers from graphical gitches as well. Might have to consider importing one up at some point, we're based in the United Kingdom and the SNES Jr wasn't released over here.

[@skyblailock7248]

I’m honestly still a fan of composite. It doesn’t feel right to play it on anything other than a good old CRT.

[@LITTLE1994]

Same.

[@PaperBanjo64]

I have one of these Super Nintendo systems, I modified it with a replacement cartridge slot so Japanese cartridges can also fit in it...yes it's composite only but Super Nintendo has amazing composite video quality, also the Jr model is a guaranteed 1 chip model.

[@jasonrichardson9049]

I bought one of these from this guy a couple months ago and it is amazing, Highly recommended.

[@UltimaOmegaZero]

2 Suggestions: 1. A video about properly cleaning a PS1 Slim model. 2. A video going in depth about the differences between image clarity, graphics, and resolution (and throw in the difference between true HD and upscaled HD as well).

[@TheLastLineLive]

just got my snes jr modded by Tim and it's fantastic. Its beautiful in rgb, also using the convertor box that Adam recommended. It's too bad I can't get it to work with my avermedia live gamer portable, so I'm on the lookout for a solution to this.

[@tinostarks]

hd retrovision cables is a good solution to your switchbox problems, component switch boxes are way more plentiful

[@stopthrm]

The way to get this to work is that if you already have a Framemeister, you would buy a Component to D-Sub connector. The Framemeister has a VGA/D-Sub input so it would work the same. (I used to use one of these in order to connect my Original Xbox to an early 2000s DLP projector. (and yes, it looked glorious)

[@TooManyInterests775]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but some RCA tvs from the mid to late '80s have a Scart connection. The only ones I have seen with that connector are RCA Dimensia tvs (The most expensive models offered by RCA at the time) If you ever see one, and have the room, it's worth picking one up.

[@videogameobsession]

I actually prefer a launch model 1.0 PPU model SNES over the SNES Jr. The colors are more accurate. I really noticed it most on Super Mario World where red colors had a pinkish hue. I've been very happy with the SNES in video since day one. It always looked incredible on my Sony Trinitron monitor (which weighed a ton!). Also, there is a large difference when it came to SNES svideo cables as well. I was really surprised to see how much cleaner the screen looked with actual Nintendo branded svideo over other 3rd party cables such as Mad Katz and Innovation.

[@viewtifuljoe99]

I got my Snes Mini rgb modded and started using it in my scart setup instead of my regular Snes about 3-4 weeks ago. I'd recommend it fully, its very clean and gets rid of that little blurriness and lack of finer detail that the other model's of the SNES strangely have when doing RGB. I found a guy on ebay called something along the lines of RetroFixes that I'd definitely recommend if you are looking for modding services.

[@hellzenvy]

I had a buddy who had a 32 inch I believe JVC tube tv that he bought from kmart here in the states that had RGB Scart port, He bought it back when the first Xbox was released and used it all the time for Halo.

[@UltimaOmegaZero]

You can also mod your old SNES to lookgraphically similar to RGB-modded Snes Jr. So you have 3 options: a modded SNES "Sr" with RGB, and UNmodded SNES Sr with RGB, or a SNES Jr with added RGB.

[@myBacau]

One of these videos for the Xbox 360 on its 10th Birthday? HDMI VS VGA VS Component

[@collectorsalmanac]

+BakyLive - 1 mins video - HDMI - DONE

[@Videogameapprentice]

It's pretty obvious for the 360 use HDMI Unless you have the early models then you use component

[@myBacau]

Videogameapprentice Yeah but what about VGA? I dont know for sure but ive heard it can do full 1080p witch component can't.And since the xbox 360 is the only console since Dreamcast that uses VGA it would be interesting to see

[@RRW359]

+BakyLive HDMI doesn't degrade over distance or needs any kind of DAC/ADC. Also, I don't believe the 360 allows 1080p over component.

[@myBacau]

RRW But who really knows? Thats why i think we need a video!

[@RideRedRacer]

about a year ago I used adams videos to walk me through getting all my retros set up with RGB scart. its really worth it. I got my NES modded for RGB it looks soooooo amazing. I use the framemeister too though

[@BIGRob118]

you should do a series about the good/your opinion games we should buy on consoles. like the nes, genesis ect......

[@Tamethefrontier]

Composite is indeed horrible, but you know on a Sony Vega Crt, pretty much all 8-16 bit consoles look fantastic with composite, dunno whatchu talkin about.

[@PaperBanjo64]

On my Emerson CRT this Super Nintendo looks amazing with composite, no need for RGB for me!

[@tickledropstop]

Hi Adam. Stumbled onto your channel while hunting around for Amiga videos (related videos apparently linked your CD32 vid). Very fascinating channel you have. Although i am mostly interested in computer history (especially Amiga home computer and how revolutionary it was in the 80s -- eg multitasking) and not so much for console history i did live through the early birth of the console (2600, , to the Nintendo System and how Atari f'ed up by telling Nintendo to take a hike -- could have been called the Atari NES system, etc). I applaud your interest and willingness to share this fascinating history behind all these retro consoles in a fun/exciting way. Your history lesson is quite accurate. I did notice you left out (or werent aware) that EA was related to 3DO by way of Trip Hawkings was the founder and CEO of EA and so forced his own company to be heavy behind it. Trip had connections with Commodore (EA started out on C64; fun fact Rockstar Games started out on Amiga computers) and Apple and there was a bit of a feud with Commodore (with CDTV & CD32) w/3DO at the time. Also i checked your earlier videos -- the beard works really well on you -- gives you a uniquely interesting appearance; without it, you just look wrong ;P Oh, and i dont see any CDTV coverage by you. CDTV was made by Commodore which was a direct competitor to the CD-i and actually leapfrogged CDi into the market first. And i did see a CD32 in Canada once. My friend had it way, way back. He only got it cuz there was a demo called Planetside that would play at the Commodore Convention (a convention that happened every year in Toronto, Canada back then). Not sure if the CD32 is still around -- he was killed in a head-on accident decades back and so not sure if his mother kept the unit or sold everything. Oh and to be clear when i say CD32 i mean Amiga CD32 game console. But when i say Amiga above i mean the Amiga home computer series, not the console. Anyway, keep up the great work! I've bookmarked. Cheers from Canada

[@WhiteJarrah]

What do you mean the SNES doesn't function when plugged into the switchbox? Lag? Picture distortion? No picture?

[@AdamKoralik]

+Jarrah White Some don't work, some display with distortion.

+AdamKoralik I think you may have bought a dud SCART switch box. This site contains a list of reviews for "good" and "bad" SCART switchboxes, I'm sorry to say but the one you showed got a 2 out of 10. There are far superior options listed. www.videogameperfection.com/2011/11/23/scart-switch-roundup/

nice job. yea the light is classy

[@AdamKoralik]

+shenmueso Yeah, it's awesome.

[@madfinntech]

North American SNES isn't compatible with Euro SCART, it's wired for JP-21 (same connector than SCART), there's your problem with the SCART switcher. So the SNES jr. you have modded is wired as Euro SCART and of course works with your switcher.

[@JeanRodo]

Funny I recently learned of Tim and his mods he's done, I'm looking into his 2600 rgb mod unfortunately I can't find any videos on it

[@AdamKoralik]

Huh, I had no idea that was even possible.

[@JeanRodo]

+AdamKoralik neither did I, he makes RGB boards for 2600 and NES as well as a tv output for game gear, It's all really cool and should be something to look into

[@ZombieGadget]

To be fair, composite on the Snes actually still looks very nice to this day on an HDTV. I haven't tried RGB Scart with it yet (I want to), but the screen doesn't look as fuzzy on my tv unlike for example, the Genesis, N64 or even PS2. That's just my experience with it, anyways. I'm talking about my experience with the fat Snes, as I have no experience with the Snes Jr.

[@CaptainPsychopath69]

I bought one of these like a week before I found out they don't support RGB, kind of a bummer, but oh well. Live in Europe, so NTSC consoles are hard to come by. though I might look into modding it

[@Riz2336]

Seems pretty cool, I was curious about the price and I went to his ebay and there wasn't any available lol.

[@austinellis6461]

still interested in the Xrgb Mini review adam.?

[@michaelmclaughlin4889]

I know this is off subject but in your opinion, what is the best Atari Console? As in you find the most fun.

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

very cool mod!

[@King_K_Rool_]

is this Tim by any chance the Tim Worthington i keep hearing about?

[@nickmoniz400]

You definitely NEED an X-RGB mini adam, i held off on it too due to the price but finally took the plunge recently and i am blown away with the difference, especially with the stock fat snes and the rgb modded jr, its such a huge difference on the xrgb mini. hope you get one soon man, would love to hear what you think of it.

[@UltimaOmegaZero]

+Nick Moniz Why not just get this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00988GMLG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It seems to also work great, and you don't have be a hitman to afford it as well.

[@nickmoniz400]

TheUltimateFanBoy I initally had one of those scalers, and the xrgb mini blows it away as far as lag and video quality difference goes. Huge difference

[@JCapex27]

Once in high school my teacher brought a tv to class to watch a documentary or something and helped her to set it up because she didnt know how to do it and that was the first and only time a saw a scart port in the back of a tv in my life I didnt know what was that for. I thought it was for some alien shit.

[@VideoGameVictims]

Great video. I always thought the difference between rgb on the fat and the jr was exaggerated. Good to see a comparison like you've done. What unit are you using as your converter to hook up to your SCART cable to your HD tv? If it's the generic one you show in this video, you can still get drastically better video quality by using a Framemeister instead. You can even run the 480p VGA output from a Dreamcast through the Frameister if your HD tv doesn't have VGA compatibility. Looks great too.

[@UltimaOmegaZero]

+VideoGameVictims He's using this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00988GMLG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It blew him away, apparently.

[@SageOwl]

+VideoGameVictims Really. How do you run the Dreamcast through the Framemeister. I'd love to stop using my PC monitor for it.

[@VideoGameVictims]

+Dr. Steve Brule The Scart adapter on the Framemeister will carry a 480p signal - ie, VGA Dreamcast output - You just need a device that will output that 480p signal via scart. Check into the TORO VGA Box. It takes the Dreamcast 480p signal and allows you to output it via a regular VGA port or a scart socket. That's how you do it ya Dingus.

[@benslate9795]

What Scart switch do you have and where did you get it? Great Video!

[@erikedward283]

Honestly I know this is a old video and everything but the composite thing can be fixed now with the HDMI adapter

[@AdamKoralik]

With the HDMI adapter?

[@MizumiGCMods]

Hey Adam! I just wanted to let you know that an after market chip is coming out for the GameCube that allows for component signal over HDMI. It's going to be inexpensive and will have a better quality than even Nintendo's cables because of some advancements in hardware. It's called GC-Video.

[@AdamKoralik]

+Fluxedo Neat!

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+Fluxedo It's already out. It's been out since January. It's just not in cable form yet. It's actually a form of digital Component video (YCbCr) and not the usual analog YPbPr component video. The version your talking about is GCVideo DVI. It does work on a DOL-101 but needs a couple more parts to enable 480p. It technically uses DVI-D and not HDMI. It's $60 compared to the $200+ for the official analog cable.

[@germslopzify]

you have any other recommended places to purchase SCART cables. The retro_console ebay store isn't selling anything anymore. Don't know if they closed down or just out of stock.

[@AdamKoralik]

+German Lopez She sells out and restocks all the time, I'd just keep an eye on her page.

[@Konacha37]

I got the SNES Jr modded a while ago and it is pretty nice looking but I just can't help but going back to the old classic brick console since it is nostalgia talking. I almost keep going back between the two. BTW, with all these game consoles hooked up, what do you use for a SCART Switch? Do you just unplug and replug them in everytime to the converter?

[@AdamKoralik]

+Konacha37 I use a SCART switch like I showed in the video.

[@Konacha37]

+AdamKoralik It is that switch? I wanted to make sure you just didn't use a stock video because I have used it before and had to throw it away due to how bad it was since it wouldn't work right (getting green tint for example).

[@richardreaves9964]

my bandridge scart box that's uber expensive to find now works great with the snes

[@CobaltVoltage]

I honestly have nothing against the retron 5. I own it and it works great for me. Also, it has features that the originals systems never had. The fact that it can play like 10 consoles is very convenient. Honestly why would I go out and buy old consoles and worry if it will work, have all the cords, clean the consoles, and do this for every one I buy. The retron is a lot more reliable and a more realistic buy for someone who just wants to have fun playing classic games( in fact I feel like this will get more people to play these games now than there ever was in the past few years).

[@MacktasticDazzle]

I've been subbed for years, Adam and figure now is a perfect time to say this...but bro, invest in a pocket knife for those boxes. lmao

[@MrMatthewrhodes]

What are your thoughts on the Retron 5, will you do a video about it?

[@AdamKoralik]

+Dirtysignlover I avoid clone consoles like the disease that they are.

[@MrMatthewrhodes]

+AdamKoralik I agree as a purist they can never replace the original consoles, but to many people the Retron 5 represents a way to experience classic games without the expense of a CRT TV and the original consoles. The price alone of many cartridge games is prohibitive due to rarity and demand. Is it not worth a video discussion so you can put across your educated opion by informing people highlighting the pros and cons of cloned consoles verses original ones?

[@Metal-Possum]

It's just the SNS-1CHIP right? Later batches of the original SNES were of the 1CHIP variety too, but they sell for absolutely fuckloads because of it. RGB 1CHIP right out of the box!

I had a n64 modded for RGB, and bought that black box upscaler and not only did I have to shrink the picture to a 6 inch screen on my 47 inch tv for it to look decent, but there was STILL 20 ms of lagg playing on my HDTV. How you guys not notice this is beyond me. And now that the HDMI mod kit is here, buying that $400 framemeister will not be needed finally

[@UltimaOmegaZero]

+Kenneth Mitchell you mean this one:www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00988GMLG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@swungsolid]

+TheUltimateFanBoy it didn't quite look exactly like that one, mine didn't have "cvid" at the top or "BG-460" at the bottom, mine looked exactly like rich from review teh USA, and Adams, still the bs lagg, and I made sure I had the right scart cable from retro gaming cables.com and my tv was in game mode, I even tried it on a tube hdtv, wasn't any better, so what is going on with half of these upscalers? Game tech us - to check out HDMI modded nes

[@SageOwl]

+Kenneth Mitchell I used that for a long time and it would push the picture a bit to the left and I would have to adjust it. I could never get it to go properly into the middle of the screen. I ended up saying fuck it and got the XRGB mini aka the Framemeister and it is a shit ton better. However, it is a shit ton more expensive, but you get bang for your buck. I cannot recommend it unless you got the spare cash available. Also Adam only outputs these consoles at 720p for whatever reason so maybe he doesn't have such problems.

[@nintendokings]

Awesome. I use the Nintendo RGB cable on my gamecube with a Scart-HDMI converter and it looks amazing on an HD TV!

[@PhaaxGames]

This is so weird to watch when you've had SCART devices for your whole life basically. :D One reason to why your original SNES SCART is giving you problems might be that it doesn't send a signal telling your switch that it's on. This can be fixed by using a manual SCART switch. You can also modify the cable to get it to work, but I can't remember how to do that unfortunately. :)

[@tonttupc]

Your SCART switch requires 5-12V on pin8 (wakeup/aspect ratio) that GC and N64 has but SNES does not. Mod unit must output 12V where first units had CSync, just like GC.

[@willgreenslade75]

+PCTonttu Thats what I was thinking from what I remember about SCART switching, Pin 8. I guess the original SNES could be modded to output a voltage on pin 8.

[@tonttupc]

Add the wire of SNES pin10 on SCART to pin8 (->100ohm->pin16) and no console modding needed. Cable will work with all Nintendo consoles and you might need to change aspect ratio on TV.

[@codeywings10]

Any suggestions on where to find one of these systems on the cheap?

[@jazzkass7210]

The demand of these things have really gone up in the past few months...it's getting pricey even for stock mini/Jr models.

[@TwistedD85]

RCA Dimensia TVs had scart :D That's about it really, at least someone tried to bring the standard over at some point.

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+TwistedD85 The Dimensia was only wired for composite video and stereo audio over SCART. You could modify it to support RGBS though. Samsung made some PC monitors that had SCART sockets up until recently here in the US. Not many people know this but SCART actually is an official EIA standard in the US but it's rarely used. It goes by the name "EIA Multiport" here. Some US specialty stores even carry SCART equipment.

Mega Drive for example displays such a low resolution image or signal that all modern TVs just aren't capable to display correctly. Meaning it can produce latency by the TV's digital image processing procedure and/or artifacts in graphics or even missing graphics. For example fast flickering images may not display at all or they are just showing one static color instead of flickering. All these anomalies are eliminated by a good quality converter. Highly recommended. Out of the topic, but I want to say this about PS2's RGB. Well PS2 has component, which as well looks better on modern TV through the converter than straight up plugging it into TV. PS2 by the way has over saturated colors via RGB for some reason, so if you play PSX games on PS2 you can't use component and RGB is the best way, but the colora are too bright.

[@Automatik234]

Then I'll also keep an eye on a converter.

[@ResetTV-rp8su]

+Automatik Also depends on the make. I have a Samsung LCD TV with a SCART input and I found (before I moved to using an HDMI converter) that it would never produce a video signal from my Mega Drive. All my other retro consoles were fine, but not the Mega Drive. Apparently its common for Samsung TVs to not find the signal from Mega Drives, which is ironic since they used to make Korean versions back in the 90s.

[@Automatik234]

Reset.TV I have a LG TV. Hopefully, it will work...

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

+Automatik Actually you should use an upscaler called the Framemeister which is way more better than what HDTVs can do! Check out My Life in Gaming on KZbin for more information :3

[@quesocoatl21]

You mind comparing actual gameplay?

[@ZeusSoriaOrozco]

Adam can you teach us how to mod a console to rgb on a video?

[@AdamKoralik]

+Zeus Soria Orozco I wouldn't know how.

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+Zeus Soria Orozco There are many tutorials online. Some consoles can even be modified for HDMI such as the N64, Dreamcast, and GameCube. It looks much better than RGB mods or official VGA and Component cables. The SNES mini RGB mod is easy to do. It's basically four wires: Red, Green, Blue, and C-Sync. You can get them from the video chip. Some SNES mini systems may need an RGB amp installed. Some systems like the NES, 2600, and later model N64s need mod boards to get RGB.

[@ZeusSoriaOrozco]

can you send me a link please? i been looking for one

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+Zeus Soria Orozco Here you go: www.retrorgb.com/snesminirgb.html

[@ZeusSoriaOrozco]

thanks!

[@adilator]

I got a RGB scart cable for the snes but it doesn't look quite as sharp as the genesis with the RGB scart as well. I'm suspecting that snes is not real RGB.

[@adilator]

Btw I have a fat pal snes with scart and it works just fine with a switch.

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+adilator Where did you get the cable? Some of the SCART cables out there for the SNES are actually just Composite SCART or S-Video SCART and not RGB SCART. If you open the cable by unscrewing the bead on the plug, you can look inside to see how many wires are there. Most of the pins should be wired up if it is RGB compatible and there should be a resistor between pins 8 and 16. If it is for an NTSC system, there should also be 3 220uf Capacitors. Is the cable wired for sync on Composite video or sync on C-Sync?

[@adilator]

+joeygottproductions I got it from a chinese website. Thanks for the tip I'll open it now to check it.

[@adilator]

+joeygottproductions Checked it, it's RGb and has 4 or 5 little resistors in there... strange. I guess the genesis is just sharper because of the different resolution.

[@MonkeyBoyJoeyMain]

+adilator Strange. Is your console an NTSC SNES or a PAL SNES? If it's an NTSC SNES, the cable was wired wrong and you either need to rewire it using 3 220uf caps and a 75-180 ohm resistor or buy a new cable that uses C-Sync (raw sync). Do not use C-Sync cables on a PAL SNES. It may fry your upscaler. The one I have is a custom NTSC SNES SCART cable. It was originally a sync on composite cable I bought from retro_console_accessories on eBay. I removed the old SCART plug along with the components and soldered the wires to a new SCART plug that has a sync stripper in it and all of the needed components. A sync stripper basically strips C-Sync from composite video and sends the C-Sync signal to the upscaler, providing a sharper image.

[@DannyCD]

Although the video quality is the best on the SNES Jr and the 1CHIP SNES, those two types of models actually slow down Super FX games.

[@krameradamsplays]

How do I get a list of ps2 games that only came out in the UK

[@llpalm08]

+Breaking bad 123 Wikipedia usually has good lists for games, I just had a look myself and it looks like there is only one game that was a UK exclusive which is Crazy Frog Racer, with the next closest UK exclusive being Grand Slam Tennis, but that was also released in Australia. It does have a much larger list of Pal exclusives though. But obviously it is Wikipedia so it isn't 100% reliable.

[@krameradamsplays]

+llpalm08 I ment pal because thought pal was just for uk

[@AdamKoralik]

+llpalm08 Wikipedia lists are hideously inaccurate I'm afraid.

[@AdamKoralik]

+Breaking bad 123 This isn't the UK specifically, but for all of Europe: l-lists.com/en/lists/wo9z8c.html

[@llpalm08]

Ah, ok, if you search for PS2 Games on Google it should be on the first page somewhere and then sort the region tab on the Wiki to ascending or descending and it will be near the top or bottom where it will say what all the Pal ones are. It might be worth emailing Sony to see if they have a list they can send you just in case the wiki isn't fully accurate.

[@Darazanjoll]

HDTV? why not an old CRT?

[@AdamKoralik]

Because they're totally unnecessary unless you want lightgun games.

[@jazzkass7210]

Ok people a lot of you have reached out to me on eBay and I just like to let you know that more units are on the way and to expect them up on eBay sometime next week

[@AdamKoralik]

+Timothy Briones Everyone, it's the man! Thanks Tim!

[@baconpancake1]

Just bought a snes mini and contacted Tim. lets see how it goes. :)

[@jazzkass7210]

Should go very smoothly. :)

[@mr.b9613]

+Timothy Briones how much do you charge for the mod?

[@jazzkass7210]

+Space Cowboy I usually charge a flat $60 for the mod, that also includes return shipping.

[@mr.b9613]

Timothy Briones wow that is an amazing price, i know who ill go to once i pick up my snes mini :)

[@coderkind]

+Timothy Briones I see you've no items on your eBay page; are you planning anymore SNES Jr's with RGB + Famicom mods? Would be looking to get it shipped to the UK too.

[@akajiblubb2401]

Adam, maybe i am consufed. but i can remember that the Wii looked like shit with RGB scart and that i run it on compist i guess on purpose. can this be true? i think RGB was very bad for the wii in europe

[@AdamKoralik]

+Akaji Blubb The Wii should be run through component (NOT COMPOSITE), not SCART.

[@akajiblubb2401]

AdamKoralik maybe it was component and im confusing it. but my component looked exactly like the composite in your video. it were 3 seperate cables. edit: i had this one i guess: www.amazon.de/BigBen-BB251302-Wii-Komponentenkabel-HD/dp/B000NA6ET8/ref=pd_cp_63_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=07SEX259WK24TGD57960&dpID=41bt9MYSoFL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL70_SR70%2C36_ edit2: lol, all these similar sounding words..composite..component lol. the first is called FBAS here in europe and its an anlogue signal...i understand now but i have never seen them at all. how old is that shit?^^

[@AdamKoralik]

+Akaji Blubb You have to adjust the settings on your console to set them to 480p. Though it won't be impressive, the Wii doesnt exactly offer a pretty image.

[@SlasherMiniFilms]

Adam, you should make a video compilation of every time you've said that people don't have to send you stuff lol

[@rogerswift1983]

my european snes works thru a 5 way scart switch no problem for me, but our tvs have scart ports on them still, even modern ones, the dreamcast always refuses to co-operate thru a scart switch but got that running via VGA now anyway, I have a atari 2600 jnr that's been moded with a scart cable on (guy in sweden does that mod) that refuses to go though a scart switch and has to run on it's own seperate input tho ;p #first world problems

[@BetaCuckAlpha]

RGB shart

[@stopthrm]

Gesundheit!

[@thatguyontheright1]

My cheapo scaler is junk (same one as yours), it has horrible latency (I counted 7 frames of lag with the 240p Test Suite), and my G line in the scaler failed, and I had to wire it by hand. I have since trashed it and went to a CRT w/ Component and a RGB to Component Transcoder till I can afford an X-RGB mini. The better option is a proper RGBs Monitor, but those can be hard to come by for a decent price when you can find regular CRTs with Component at a thrift store for pennies.

[@thatguyontheright1]

You are still dealing with latency since the on-board scaler has to do the 240p/480i up to 4K. It would also cost quite a bit to ship a TV from Europe.

[@thatguyontheright1]

Daniël's Tech & Music Channel Well, still shipping a 4K TV to the US from Europe is just going to be expensive. Do you have a 4K TV with RGB scart input?

[@thatguyontheright1]

Do you have the ability to run the 240p test suite, like a Everdrive? It runs on genesis w/ everdrive, sega CD, TG-16 w/ Everdrive, SNES w/ Everdrive. There are others but they run in higher resolutions.

[@SRPC21]

lol imagine Adam did that intro then he opened the box and it was a different package!

[@jazrath]

how much is it to get one?

[@MrMario2011]

+tim owen Looked at the eBay link in the description, whenever the guy sells them they're around $125 USD

[@randomness13]

Mrmario? what are you doing here?

[@MrMario2011]

ICanDoRedstone Commenting.

[@garybennett1859]

+tim owen The cable is about $24 including shipping on ebay, and the upscaler is another $60. Plus the cost of your system if you don't have one already.

[@jazrath]

+MrMario2011 Thanks

[@irregularhunterj8014]

these SNES have problems... tried like 7 of these and some games glitch like crazy, ghouls n ghosts, final fight 3, yoshi's island, star fox... I don't get it.

[@SageOwl]

+Irregular Hunter J You are actually right about this as I experienced last yesterday with Street Fighter and Chrono Trigger. For whatever reason the fucking picture keeps randomly bouncing up and down while you try and play while the OG SNES doesn't do this. Really strange, but then again I read somewhere that people consider the SNES Mini to basically be a clone console.

[@deralmighty8011]

0:25 They sent you a box of cheese? How lucky...

[@moneymatt536]

I wish I knew about that box. I just got rid of my Jr because of the quality smh.

[@AdamKoralik]

+Afro Thunder Well, you'd have to mod it first to take advantage of the RGB mode.

[@benjokazooie]

you should look into this shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=50851 seems to be a good option. and sorts out some of the issuses that occour from those switch boxes, apparently

[@drud-dh4ev]

The difference between a modified SNES Jr and an unmodded 1Chip SNES is extremely minimal, so why even bother with the mod?

[@AdamKoralik]

+drud 1995 I addressed that in the video sir.

[@drud-dh4ev]

AdamKoralik I mean the 1Chip model of the SNES original console. They had an original stock chip that produced an average picture quality and a later revision of the original SNES that had picture extremely comparable to the RGB modded SNES Jr
