SNES mod question

[kingjohn3]

Ive read that the original snes version could output component quality video with a few mods. Also read that the mini version did so even better. How much of an improvement is one over the other? Also im using s-video now so would rgb on ANY version be a big upgrade?

If your TV accepts RGB: Hellawa difference.

I've seen SNES component and mini-SNES S-vid on the same TV.  IMO, the component mod wasn't worth it at all.

Here are the options i have...straight component on original snes, rgb on snes mini, component on mini and s-video on original snes. I dont like the idea of scarts and converters and whatnot especially if im not even sure it'll play on a Trinitron. Straight component seems easier and an improvement over a-video but isnt that only on the mini?

The mini doesn't support component
You can mod it to support it, but there's no native support.

Worth mentioning that S-vid also requires a (simple) mod.

Finally have a snes mini coming that has rgb, s-video, c-sync (not sure what that is), and modded for straight component with a sony cxa2075 encoder. So from what i can gather it does it all and he's checking into a 50/60 hz switch and if there is a lock out chip or whatever that prevents game genie compatibility. Also going with separate audio jacks. After this is all said and done then doing the n64 component mod a little later. Apparently there is a new way to bypass the need for the expensive gamecube component cable and get highest output on that. So, i figger if im gonna do all this might as well get it done right. All to be played on a Trinitron kv-36fv15.  This mod thing is old news to many of you but very new to me so its pretty neat

The SNES game genie doesn't work on the mini SNES because of a voltage limitation. Nintendo did this purposefully to cripple the game genie. I haven't seen anyone come up with a fix for it.
