  • Blurry video output from most SNES consoles has long been the most disappointing thing about the system when it comes to RGB gaming and upscaling. A pair of new mods for "2CHIP" systems now offers an alternative that can provide results close to 1CHIP systems in sharpness! Let's see how our modded console fares on CRTs and various upscalers, from the Framemeister and OSSC to the RetroTINK 5X and RetroTINK 4K!

    [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

    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 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.

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming  4 місяці тому +8

      [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.

  • @systemshocker2557
    @systemshocker2557 4 місяці тому +2

    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.

  • @JaeliusFairmout
    @JaeliusFairmout 4 місяці тому +8

    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

  • @dannyrambles

    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.

    • @TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube
      @TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube 4 місяці тому

      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.

    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!

    • @jsr734

      You cannot appeciate this older consoles graphics without composite video.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    This is ideal for me. I acquired a great 2006 Toshiba CRT a couple of years ago, and I've been delighted with what it can do for consoles like my PS2, GameCube and Mega Drive, but even with RetroGamingCables' PACKAPUNCH RGB SCART, I was fairly disappointed with how blurry my SNES looked on it. This looks like what I hoped for. I finally got over my fear of soldering last year, too, so I was quite eager to find a good mod.

      [Try4ce] It would be a whole lot more work (soul-sucking work) than you think. However, I made it a point to use every Japanese cart that I own in the making of this video, and while there are things beyond just those carts, most of the more obscure games are probably from that list. backloggery.com/games.php?user=Try4ce&search=&console=SNES&status=&unplayed=&rating=®ion=1&own=0

    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.

    Well, since I was specifically directed to this video by a particular Genesis troII claiming this blur is some major "flaw" of the SNES (you can see a whole bunch of his rants below in response to my comment here):
    39:18 That's because the softness, blur and colour bleed on a Genesis through composite actually hides one of its most obvious visual limitations, which is dithering due both to low colour and deliberately using it for the likes of faux transparency on water and such. So of course a lot of people who love that system likely prefer it viewed that way. Personally, I think composite is the worst possible way to view these old systems and just looks terrible. I prefer my Genesis games clean and sharp now, even if it does reveal some of its limitations at bit more. Also, I'm from the UK, so I thankfully had my retro consoles mostly connected up via I think S-Video or Euro Scart back in the day, and they still looked great even then.
    And on N64 the anti-aliasing is literally an intended feature of the console to specifically soften the jaggy edges of low resolution polygons and even make those low-res textures look a bit smoother at least. I think N64 games look totally strange all pixelated as if they were actually traditional pixel art or something, which they aren't. Smooth for the win there, which is a totally separate thing from the extremely low-res textures of course.
    On SNES, it doesn't have to worry about dithering nearly as much as Genesis because the extra colours and much higher colour gamut make subtle gradients easier to achieve (not that dithering doesn't exist on the system), so having the sharpest possible image actually just makes it look even better for the most part. And, personally speaking, I've got a modded SNES Classic Mini running through normal HDMI on my HDTV, and I think it looks gorgeous as is. I play my SNES, Genesis, PC Engine, Arcade/Neo Geo, NES, Master System, GB/GBC/GBA, etc, all through that one system, and I am beyond happy with the results.
    But, hey, each to their own. If people want the sharpest possible image on SNES, to the point that it literally takes multiples of magnification or sitting an inch away from the TV to see it, all power to them. They now have one more option there.
    PS. A "flaw" would be more like the left edge display bug on Genesis when you use the column scrolling effects there, like on the early level of Gynoug for example:
    ua-cam.com/video/c6U3W-fSkmU/v-deo.htmlsi=i0h-2ljn_rnh8Fyw&t=67
    That's an actual perceptible hardware-level display issue at normal viewing distance during normal play.
    I'm not sure if SNES, PC Engine, NES, Master System, etc. maybe have similar flaws too, but I've certainly never noticed them in the same way just playing the games, so I expect they're not issues to really bother with at all. In fact, I don't think most people would even care about that column scrolling bug on Genesis either. If people don't even notice it until someone specifically draws their attention to it, I think it's all good. If it's patently obvious and genuinely ruins the experience though, it would be a legit flaw.
    I personally don't think any of these systems have any real flaws in that kind of context.
