Noisy picture with SFC 1-Chip + OSSC. Is it about to give up on me?

Post by Filuren »

Hello,

I decided to bring out my SFC after a couple of years on the shelf and booted up fine but the picture is noisy and I don't remember it was there last time i had it on. Is it about to give up on me or can it be something else in the chain?

Here's a video where i tried to capture it, but it was not easy to use filming the TV :)

It's connected with a Universal Nintendo PACKAPUNCH RGB SCART cable into the OSSC.

I also have a Mega Drive 1 that I bought last week. It got the jailbars (will probably try to mod it later) but it's not "moving noise" in the same that SFC got.

What power supply are you using? From my experience, cheaper (and older high usage) power supplies can cause noise to appear on screen. If you're using the OEM power supply, I'd recommend recapping it to see if that helps. If not, then I'd recommend buying a Triad power supply, as those are better than the OEM ones nowadays.

I've tried different ones with same result :-/

I also tried one from https://retrogamesupply.com/products/po ... er-famicom
but that one I didn't take picture on since the text is so small anyway.

Can it still be PSU-issue? Why I ask since those Triad ones is kind of expensive to ship to sweden :)
