As the abundance of filtering options to soften the edges of pixels in emulators attests to, not everyone likes that sharpness. Worth noting though that for some, they'd prefer the softer picture on their HDTV. But out of a 1-chip SNES, it looks as sharp and clean as a Super Nt. RGB out of a regular SNES isn't much of a leap above S-Video. I can only imagine it being even bigger of a difference in-person, without video compression and such to deal with. No Digital Foundry style silliness of zooming in unrealistically close to show some alleged difference between one blob and another blob is needed to easily see that one is very soft and the other outputs a very crisp picture. It's quite a difference to my eyes just going off watching streams and YouTube videos (Like I said earlier, my only 1st hand experience with RGB out of my SNES is on a CRT which largely negates the differences thanks to how CRT's do a masterful job of concealing flaws). modded to output RGB), I disagree about it being a slight difference if you're planning to play on a modern HDTV. While I agree that RGB out of a later 1-chip SNES isn't worth dumping your current hardware for and paying a premium to buy a known 1-chip SNES (Or getting a SNS-101 SNES Jr.
SNES SERIAL NUMBER MOD
Especially the redesigned model that was sold after the Nintendo 64 launch (And I believe continued to be sold in Japan until about 2004) that people used to call the SNES Mini (before Nintendo's plug and play system from a few years ago officially used that name in Europe).īut I believe there's a mod to resolve that issue, which isn't too much of a hassle considering the revision has to be modded to restore RGB output anyways.
Some of the 1-chips are prone to a bit of ghosting, I believe. That said, the sharpness does sometimes come at a cost. But when the day comes that I do invest in something like a Retrotink 5X, I'd be able to tell just by plugging it in with RGB cables and looking at my tv. But since I'm just playing it connected to a Trinitron (I have a Super NT for my HDTV), I can't actually see with my own eyes if it's a 1 chip. Bought new in the summer or Fall of 1995, it could easily go either way with what iteration of the system it is. That's also why I don't actually know what mine is. I can easily tell which iteration is being used when someone's streaming or recording footage via RGB since a 1-chip looks just like an emulator or Super NT while the older iteration looks quite soft.
The less sharp video quality though is quite evident when ran through a decent upscaler connected to a HDTV.
SNES SERIAL NUMBER TV
And even then I'm not sure how evident it would be on a high end CRT display since that tv technology does a good job of concealing some image flaws. The differences only become obvious via RGB.
