SNES RGB Output not Working?

Post by erik343 »

Hi,

I hooked up my SNES with JP21 up to my Framemeister, and I am getting no input on the screen.

I found the model# of my console is: SNS-001

Is this SNES model able to output native RGB, or do I have to mod this version of the SNES?

I am trying to trouble shoot this issue.
It might be my SCART cables, and I am using all JP21 for now...

Thanks.

Some SNES revisions can't output CSYNC(unless moded). So if your cable is wired for CSYNC, then that might be why. Just a thought

What is the serial number of your SNES? (that'd help us find which revision it is, and determine if what I wrote above might be the problem or not)

I got it to work, and it looks amazing.

I first used a passive JP21 to XRGB with a SYNC on LUMA SNES JP21 cable, so it did not work...

I then used a passive EuroSCART to XRGB with a CSYNC SNES EuroSCART and it worked...

I am going to get a modded RGB NES console too :)
