Need help identifying if the Super Famicom i have is a 1-chip as i really do not have a way of opening it
The number on the bottom says S 24602801
I recall the video quality and composite of this current system being quite bright and looking quite goof in comparison of the last one i had which the video quality was far more dimmer in comparison however thst may have been the capacitors weakining not sure

Re: Super Famicom 1-Chip?
The whole 1-Chip thing is a bit confusing.
I have a Super Famicom with 1-Chip-02.
Some say that the 02 is the best but others say that 03 is superior.

If you don't want to open it, play Super Turrican for an hour. Music should glitch out at some point. If it doesn't, keep playing Super Turrican. It's a good game.
Pretty sure it used to be a cheap game, isn't any longer though, but if you got a flash cart (which IMO is essential for translations anyway)...

Re: Super Famicom 1-Chip?
It's an easy to read table. Of course the one you have isn't listed on it, but clearly the lowest serial number for a SFC 1-chip is S24618767, so yours is most likely an APU-01KimagureMachibuse wrote:The one i have is not listed there under the super famicom serial numbers

Re: Super Famicom 1-Chip?
My Super Famicom 1-Chip 02 is SM12021879. I meant to try The Lion King and other games' debug menu test but my SD2SNES Rev. H doesn't work on it despite being region-free. Serial numbers alone aren't proof since sellers can swap a 1-Chip shell from dead console for a working 2-Chip and sell it for considerably more. Get the $10 tool kit to open the console that should also come with tool to open carts.
I think the emphasis on 1-Chip is way, way overblown. If you have a 600 TVL professional video monitor being fed RGB from a 1-Chip modded to not be so bright then sure video can look a little sharper. With that you have some video and audio glitches that don't exist in 2-Chip world. One day I played the 1-Chip, next day I played the SNES 2-Chip and I couldn't tell the difference. The people most promoting 1-Chip have business interests in RGB cables and mods. 1-Chip 03 needs a mod for csync last I heard.
If you're living the perfectly fine S-Video life with $15 cable then console revision doesn't matter. Thanks for reading my rant.

Re: Super Famicom 1-Chip?
I'd agree that for CRT usage it's pretty unnecessary, I was never really left wanting for a 1-chip. But for upscaling on a flat panel, it made a huge difference. Hopefully a future HDMI mod will make tracking a 1-chip down unnecessary (though just get a SNES Jr. if you don't want to pick through ebay).NewSchoolBoxer wrote:My Super Famicom 1-Chip 02 is SM12021879.
