I feel like the 1chips get too much praise, sure they have a sharp picture, but you have to put up with ghosting, glitches, overblown whites, and the annoying black line that appears in a lot of games (as well as some other issues). The colours also look washed out without an RGB bypass or the resistor mod.
Could you point me towards an example of that black line you mention. Not sure I’m aware of that issue. As for the ghosting and blown out colors these issues are easily fixed with a few cheap components. As is the jailbar right down the middle that’s visible on dark screens.
I don’t understand the need to bypass RGB on this system either as you can get pretty perfect results with the stock hardware. Unless I’ve missed something when playing, like that black line you mention

Heres a good article talking about the black line (
https://retromods.game.blog/snes-sfc/sn ... sting-fix/)
Some games I've noticed that have the black line:
Link to the past (when opening the item menu or transitioning worlds)
Chrono Trigger (when opening the menu, this one is pretty minor)
Mario Collection Mario 3 (Just above the HUD info thing and on the top of the screen during water levels when pausing the game)
Yoshi's Island (2 lines of pixels are missing from the top of the screen, with a third line very dim with the C11 fix, its just a single faded line of pixels without)
Front Mission Gun Hazard (same as yoshi's island except it actually partially covers some important HUD info)
Tactics Ogre (Top line of pixels on the HUD flickers even without C11, I imagine this one could be very problematic with the C11 fix as its right above some important info and appears right in the middle of the screen.)
Super Gameboy (top line of pixels flickers pretty badly, but you can just set the border to black to get rid of it)
Street fighter (as someone else has mentioned)
But the most annoying problem I've had, is a weird sort of interference that 1chips seem to have that I've never seen anyone else talk about, bright colours leave a trail on dark backgrounds (different ghosting) and theres a strange flickery noise outside the game window which sometimes encroaches into the game screen itself. Luckily the OSSC can fix all of it except for the trails. All 3 of my 1chips have this problem and none of my 3/2 chips have it.
