SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
They're sold out now, they weren't when I posted that (I checked by attempting to checkout). There will be additional waves.
Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
My Super Famicom arrived, and as suspected it's a 1CHIP-03!
Not as nice looking as I was hoping and the inside was pretty dirty, but I'm pretty happy with it. My first SFC/SNES. Will be getting a Jr. as well.
As before, the serial number is 25252362.
It has the SHVC-JPN-1 sticker. Forgot to check the CSYNC on the board, will have to check later.
Photos here if anyone is interested.

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
Take a photo of the bottom side of the board (in decent detail) and I can tell you right away about the csync. It should be missing several resistors.TestType wrote: Forgot to check the CSYNC on the board, will have to check later.

Will do, but it will probably have to wait until I get back home.

Totally forgot about that while I had it open.

Here's a Super Famicom for the database:

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
Cool thanks! That turns out to be the earliest yet known -02 revision for SFC.jepjepjep wrote:Here's a Super Famicom for the database:

What I'm really curious about is if anyone has managed to find a PAL 1CHIP-03. the Database only goes up to 1CHIP-02 for PAL format.
Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
I've been looking on and off for years and I haven't found a 1CHIP-03 myself, I'm starting to wonder if they were ever released as PAL versions?FBX wrote:Added.

Anyway, my original childhood SNES died today so here's another entry that's ~200k numbers above the UP16478931 entry, might be useful to narrow that gap a bit more:
UP16665898
Quick picture for proof as well: https://i.gyazo.com/4d9279e5a1981c3de91 ... 8da090.jpg
Now I'm on eBay asking sellers for their serial numbers... Looks like I'll be waiting until I hear back from them before I do anything. I've confirmed one at UP17815991 which should put it in the 01 - 02 range of 1CHIP releases at least.
EDIT: I received the UP17815991 SNES, so here's another entry to confirm the 1CHIP-01 range: https://i.gyazo.com/5cba9c719b9cb2e4225 ... 6d1678.jpg

Finally received my Nintendo security bit set.

All serials added. Thanks!
Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
Thanks so much for maintaining this database. I was able to use it to find a reasonably priced 1chip-03.

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
I was going through some old pictures on my HDD and found the 1chip SFC I used to have. Never should've sold that thing!

Added the serials. Yours narrows the gap on when the -02 revision got started.cyborc wrote:I was going through some old pictures on my HDD and found the 1chip SFC I used to have. Never should've sold that thing!

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
What's the difference (if any) between the borti SNES RGB amp (using the newer amp) and the Voultar mod? Is there any?
Also I remember some discussion a while ago about the levels really not being "correct" unless you lifted a pin on a certain chip?

Doesn't help narrow anything down but for completion sake, here's mine;

Got it for a normal price too, because of your list.
Thank you!

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
The list was originally created by user darthcloud and was pretty well defined for 1CHIP models from about 4-5 years ago (FYI and listed contributors):jayde6 wrote:Doesn't help narrow anything down but for completion sake, here's mine;

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
I only keep the current sheet in my links after several people requested it be maintained when it became obvious he was no longer keeping up with it. In order to clean up the sheet, I stripped it down to just the important data people found most useful. Tracking user names would also mean tracking web site addresses, and in some cases, the users weren't even active any more.RGBSource wrote:

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
That's cool I guess, I don't really get the need for listing contributors. I am glad that FBX has continued to maintain it, I think it would be awesome to eventually see which serial number was the first for each revision change.RGBSource wrote: The list was originally created by user darthcloud and was pretty well defined for 1CHIP models from about 4-5 years ago (FYI and listed contributors)

Re: SNES/Famicon PCB Revisions and RGB Video
I tried searching this forum and Google for answers, but yielded no results.
Are all SNES Minis/Jrs. 1CHIP-03? It would make sense since they were released in 1997 (SNES was discontinued in 1999) and the 1CHIP-03 was the last revision of the SNES. They have the sharpest video quality and many say the Mini has the sharpest video as well after the RGB mod.

Here's the rundown as far as I've seen:GeneraLight wrote:I tried searching this forum and Google for answers, but yielded no results.

1. The mini is its own revision, but very similar to the 1CHIP line from original consoles. The PQ from the 1CHIPs and the mini can variate slightly in sharpness, but at such small detail that most won't even notice a difference unless they do zoom-in screencap comparisons. The variation is random: One person's 1CHIP-02 might be sharper, while another person's -03 might be sharper.
2. Using Voultar's bypass board removes the variation in sharpness. In other words, if you put his board in a 1CHIP and a mini, they should look the same in level of detail. However, it becomes so sharp that you may have aliasing lines show up in the picture on the Framemeister. In the case of the OSSC, you need to turn on the video LFP to 9Mhz in order to filter out the lines, giving a superb picture. Because this is not possible on the Framemeister, I keep my 1CHIP-03 with the stock encoder for Framemeister usage (although I added in 750 Ohm resistors on the RGB lines to attenuate brightness), and use Voultar's board in my mini for the OSSC.
