Making The Super Nintendo Even More Super

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey everyone! I should have included the appropriate credits for each of the mod creators in the video. The SuperCIC is the creation of Peter Bartmann (borti4938) and the dejitter mod was created by Markus Hiienkari (marqs85). These amazing creators made their mods completely open-sourced which is amazing and a huge contribution to the community!

To me the ultimate super Nintendo would be the SNES CD MSU1 attachment. But still cool nonetheless

Are you comparing a 1chip or a 2chip snes? There is a huge difference!

I have no intention of learning how to solder or mod a console but I still watch Nacho do all the connections because I find the music and him working therapeutic.

there are better options out there to play snes games with original carts clearly, but this mod is mainly for aesthetics mostly

Totally agree! RAW talent ART makes fantastic shells!

While I have no intent on doing these mods for myself, it was a real treat watching you do it. Thanks for the awesome videos, your soldering skills make even complex mods like this look easy

I like watching them as well. It's so cool people come up with these custom boards.

[@Psythik]

I just wish it bad a modded cartridge slot so that you don't have to use an adapter. This thing looks sick as hell but it's *far* from being the "ultimate" SNES.

[@HUYI1]

@@Psythik yeah i didn't understand why he didn't modify the cart slot to fit both carts built in instead of an adaptor, even the retron 5 consoles have space for universal carts from all regions

[@apollolux]

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.

[@andieen.7426]

I really enjoyed viewing this channel's mods for older consoles. its like restoring my childhood now that im in 40's, especially the ones we previously couldn't afford.

[@pillington1338]

That RGB filter made a large difference in my opinion.

[@SuperSpatman]

Yeah, it wasn't groundbreaking but the colours were definitely richer, which in turn slightly improved the pixel edge clarity.

[@TechnoL33T]

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

[@GalaxyAntra]

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 :)

[@Daniel-it1dp]

So glad to see your mod videos in my feed again and boy does that SNES/SFC look damn nice!

[@the-NightStar]

I don't understand how you're not seeing the difference with the RGB filter, because I see it absolutely clear as day.

[@joeykeilholz925]

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.

[@koalakoa]

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?

[@scottparsons5065]

Awesome work, Tito! I love that awesome shell, your soldering is so clean. Thanks for sharing. I am happy to see the SNES mod content.

[@volkte37]

Great video and amazing shell! Though I can hugely see the difference in the RGB images!

[@CobraTheSpacePirate]

SuperNintendo wasn't region locked as far as I know. On your SNES all you had to do was use a pair of needle nose pliers to break the tabs off and it played SuperFamicom games perfectly. I had tons of them. I brought a ton of games back from Japan like in 1996 and gave the whole system to my nephews when I later returned back to Japan. I still have it sitting in closet in the basement of my parents house after my nephews packed it up a few years ago after they got their Wii. It doesn't work in reverse though because the US carts are square and the Japanese ones are rounded, so you can't play SNES carts in a SuperFamilcon unless you take the lid off or use some adapter.

[@Storm_.]

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.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Can’t wait for the Hyper Nintendo Entertainment System!

[@nocturnalag7695]

One thing I did on my Japanese SFC is buy a broken US SNES, and remove the cartridge flap and carefully Dremel the SFC shell so that the flap could fit neatly. The result is a clean look that allows all cartridges to slot in rather than US ones to pop out. Otherwise nice video.

[@eliotcole]

I would say that there's *definitely* more colour gamut in the RGB filtered one. If you look at the reds of the arm wrap on Raphael's right arm ( 14:19 ) it is definitely 'more' of whatever reds are there.

[@lexacutable]

yeah, they look pretty visibly different to me. a definite improvement with the mod

[@rootbeer_666]

With the dark green of the space between the grates being darker and the grates themselves looking a bit sharper, Raphael’s arm stands out much better altogether. There could still be a little better definition of his sai, but overall, it’s still a considerable improvement.

[@MrMegaManFan]

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. Until Tito's clip, I could never picture this.

[@skins4thewin]

Good lord the Super Famicom in the Thumbnail looks sick!!

[@fuarkstyle]

I thought it was an rgb light type of mod, which could've been better IMO. The actual modding via chips is not something that adds otherworldly functionality, so in my case I would only do aesthetical improvements like shell (MDF, aluminum, paint jobs, 3d prints, etc) and rgb lights matching theme.

[@jeffbrl]

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

[@itsdavestone]

I thought the 1-Chip and JR SNES where the only revisions worth adding RGB mods too? Great video, definitely curious about de-jitter bow, and amazing shell as well.

[@djgokou]

Not the ultimate by a long shot

[@kingwallop]

NTSC snes have everything you need for RGB, no need for a mod. Just need to use the right cable to enjoy it.

[@itsdavestone]

@@kingwallopmy UN1 and UN2 models support RGB with the correct cables yes, but 1-Chip (UN3) and SNES JR will not. Look into the 1-chip, tons of videos and articles

[@kingwallop]

@@itsdavestone This is not true, all Snes NTSC natively supports RGB. There is only the Jr that can not and requests a modification. The 1chip just needs a mod, because the colors are sometimes too bright.

[@asm2750]

Beautiful shell, it's like something out of Tron or Knight Rider.

[@slamtilt01]

Your going to have to get the matching controllers now.

[@kbramlett6877]

Going back to the days of soldering a MOD chip to the PS1, it has always amazed me how people figured out exactly which solder points on the motherboard are the correct ones to use in conjunction with the chip which would alter the normal operation of the console.

[@dingusbingus7463]

If anyone wants a snes, I personally prefer the Super Famicom, I know they're the same system but I havent been able to find an affordable snes (under $100) in my area for years, but imported a Super Famicom from japan for roughly $40 with cords and a controller. Games also import cheap if you find a seller you can buy in bulk from(to avoid ballooning shipping costs over time). I believe you can get multicarts for the SF with eng games, but I've enjoyed my JP library of arcade ports that don't have a language barrier, and some simple games that are easy to figure out.

[@simascnop8033]

It would be nice to get a comparison of this mod to a console which only uses the RAD2x and FXPACK Pro. The RAD2x HDMI adapter is based on the RetroTink 2x which should solve most problems. I think it is not worth soldering around in the console as RGB is already present on the Multi-AV. Also there are two types of consoles - 2 chip and 1 chip. The newer 1 chip version should have a better image quality.

[@xSkittlesxNewbx]

NGL that shell reminds me of the old russian knock offs of SNES that I used to play on with as the kid, using the yellow cartriges, (Technically it was still an SNES) the nostalgia hit was lovely, now, time continue to watch the video

[@Timer5Tim]

I like the shell but the main issue I see is it being that sleek black then the games being an off grey color. Maybe a paint job of that quality and the little details, the stripes and lights but a dark grey color that looks similar to the cartages that way they don't look so jarring sticking out of the console.

[@spokiee2000]

an RGB filter will adjust COLOR not res. Look at the left foor on the TMNT comparison you can see the one on the left is slightly Brighter than the one on the right. Thats what the filter is doing.

[@Corummo]

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

That's so awesome!! Extra cool that you did a PAL SNES as they are (IMHO) way better looking than the NTSC-U version 0:) Would be really cool to se you do one of the 1-CHIP SNES's though, with all the mods for them, like starting with an SNS-101 and going all in on it :D

[@giacomovalenti8619]

Aaactually Japan and USA are the same region in SNES terms, so it just switched once to non-PAL! Also, the led light would be useful to know when the console is in forced 60Hz on PAL games. But I understoid PAL games are not the priority here 😊

[@Dn30383]

you can already see differences between the one chip and 2 chip variant from game to game supposedly. but i only use original hardware with original cable (RGB) with the right devices (old connection options) without converters and the pictures are already much better ;)

For RGB I'd rather use a 1-chip snes and a sony trinitron/pvm or pbm (depending on your budget/space requirements).

[@lexacutable]

that would be an entirely different system rather than a mod though

[@Daudgrim]

@@lexacutable Ofc, maybe I should have been more clear. I figured just use a 1-chip board when modding, but drop the RGB mod and play on a high end Crt with the right RGB cables. Then you would have all of the mod goodness, and all the RGB goodness to boot.

[@finaltheorygames1781]

The problem is, you can't make the SNES more "super" and you can't make it "better". All you really need is an S-video cable and a CRT and a flash cart and this is about the best you can get. The only way to really make the SNES more super is to make new cool games for it and maybe create newer and better enhancement chips for it.

[@ONIXG5MER2015]

The one on the left is blurrier.

[@Diceman82]

Could have saved yourself a lot of extra work by just using a snes mini revision and just making the cart entrance universal on the shell. Also wouldn't need the rgb mod at all with that revision as they have a little less pixel bleed due to updated components. What we really need is decent replacement parts for many revisions of the SNES. Most of the SNES chipset is custom and the parts that fail the most (PPU1 & 2 and Vram)only have replacements by butchering another SNES for components. Maybe do a video of alternative functional chipsets?

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.
