I have 3 SNES consoles total, one is a launch model 1, one is a late model 1, and one is model 2 (the jr/mini). Both the model 1's give off the lower quality picture, even though one has white eject text, and one is grey. I even opened up the systems and the insides are way different. the SNES 2/jr/mini however, gives off the awesome picture quality shown in those comparison shots.darthcloud wrote:How did you identified you had a 1CHIP?Hamburglar wrote:This link confuses me. I have 2 USA SNES model 1 consoles. One is a 1CHIP, and it gives an identical picture to the non 1CHIP model. However, I also have an SNES2/jr./mini, and it gives off a better picture than both SNES model 1's. How could his situation be different than mine?retr0gamer wrote:I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but this post shows the quality difference of the 1CHIP:

You took it apart right?
I ask because I saw some people saying you could identify them by looking at the eject button if the word eject was printed or molded. Or to check if the FCC info on the bottom was on a sticker or molded.
Those method are inaccurate because Nintendo started using those molded button and FCC info since 1994 with SNS-CPU-RGB-01 board.
So one could end-up with either a RGB-01, RGB-02, APU-01 or a 1CHIP-01 version with that identification method.
I would KILL for the SNES2/jr/mini picture quality in a model 1 casing!
