I’ll be covering the North American systems here since there’s really no significant difference except for form factor and the NA SNES seems to be the best “universal” system. In this series I’m going to pick a console and examine the different versions released and try to decide on the best one overall.įor the first console I’m going to look at in this series I’ve picked one of my all time favorites, the Super Nintendo.
Sometimes the early version of a console are most desirable because of extra features or abilities that were later cut to save costs and sometimes later revisions with more refined internals and bug corrections are the models to get. Sometimes these revisions are all internal but many times they are also external. Usually when a gaming console comes out it goes through several revisions in its life. Another way of knowing as well is if the Serial Number of the SNES PAL console is the later models with the serial Number from. Open the bottom Expansion door on your PAL SNES, If there is the “Ring of glory” and none of the 3 solder dots, then it's 100% LEGIT that it's a 1-CHIP SNES console. This video is a comparison pitting the 1Chip revision of the Super Nintendo's RGB video output against a.Missing.
The 1 I bought had a UN319 serial so I figured it was most likely a 1 chip. Just browse through and look at the pics for others up for sale and check the serials. Don't search for 1 chip snes as they are always overpriced. I just bought a 1 chip 02 for $65 on eBay. Instead, pictures of the console's serial. Any “1CHIP” listings? Nope, and if there were the seller would surely be charging appropriately. I've seen 1CHIP-02's that looked awful, 1CHIP-03's that looked phenomenal and every combination you can imagine.But really, how much better could it look than a typical SNES? Of course, being obsessive and idiotic, that question kept haunting me, so I started peaking back at eBay. Click on each one for full-size: For more detailed information on what exactly is happening to the 2-chip's signal, check out Chris Covell's page on the problem: 1CHIP-01 vs -02 vs -03 (no solid conclusion, needs revisiting): Comparing the differences between the 1CHIP revisions has been a huge undertaking! From the time I've launched this website until now, I've tested so many 1CHIP consoles and the results between each never seem to be consistent! I've seen two 1CHIP-01 consoles that were close in serial number (meaning probably from the same run of production) that outputted slightly different quality video. While they don't show the differences as clearly as the screenshots above, they demonstrate what the differences look like on an RGB monitor (it's much more noticeable in person).
