Quick sanity check on my super famicom XRGB3 setup...

Post by swcdx »

I'm trying to set up a japanese super famicom with the best possible picure.

Here is the proposed setup:

japanese SFC connected to XRGB3 connected to a NEC 2190uxp.

I will set the XRGB3 to b1 mode, and I will connect the XRGB3 to the monitor with a VGA cable.

I am going to connect the SFC to the XRGB3 with this cable:

http://www.retrogamingcables.com/super- ... -sale.html

(I will order it with "JP21" wiring and "Sync (CSYNC)" (and not "composite video + sync")

Is this the golden setup ? Any details to change or alternate setups that would produce a better picture ?

I'm mostly concerned with that RGB cable and choosing the right sync choice from that retrogamingcables website...

Thanks.

The key is having the right Super Famicom. A 1CHIP with added fix for the vertical bar problem should be your first choice.

I see. I had seen that mentioned in one of your guides at one point - thanks for reminding me.

I will take a look at the unit and see ...

Ok, I do not have a good one-chip model, so I am going to RGB mod a SNES MINI.

Thanks.

In the meantime, am I correct about the cable I should buy to connect to my XRGB3:

Sound correct ?
