| SNES Component Out Mod with S-ENC B Chip |

I have not done one myself, but I've seen the results in person side-by-side with a 1chip hooked up via S-video and I still say it ain't worth it. Though I have no idea which revision of the SNES it was and the exact method used to modify it. |

There's that one company who makes component cables for the SNES. Can't recall the website at the moment, but it's been posted here before, I do know that. --- End quote --- If you're saying that, you haven't done it yourself. I did it to my original S-ENC SNES and the results are fantastic. Better than RGB from the same model SNES (the early SNES's have very soft RGB). I did not use the circuit in the OP with a transistor. I simply connected Pr and Pb with an inline resistor and capacitor on each one (I don't recall the values but I also didn't try multiple combinations so my values may not be the best). The Y is already available from the multi-out. I removed the RF encoder and put a TRRS jack in its place, and I use a YPrPb dongle that are easy to find online. Note: The picture will still be 240p and look like garbage on LCD TVs. Use a CRT or XRGB, although I have seen a lot of sync problems with component on XRGB. --- End quote --- Can't sleep, so figured I'd just go ahead and mod a SNES with your method. I think that was the quickest and dirtiest mod I've ever done. I didn't make it pretty. Far from it in fact. But it works from a technical standpoint :P I'm even less impressed at this point. Colors look like poop, just as I recall and the image is maybe, possibly slightly sharper with the component mod, but nothing that is significant enough to offset the awful color output. Ignore the red bars. I don't know why they appear in the photo, but they aren't visible in person. Component GPM-2 S-video 1-chip-01 |
