snes jr with solid caps and RGB modded

[Nes Freak | 586]

After seeing a video on the new "edge enhancer"  for the 2 chip model snes to output a better RBG signal  i thought that was cool!  at least up until i saw who made it...  yeah  im sorry but im not a voultar fan.  not after spending nearly 1k to get my m82 fixed and it didnt get fixed even though he said it was fixed and him getting all pissy about me being all pissy about it coming back doing the same thing.  i dont know what he expected spending all that money on labor and shipping.  of course being determined i eventually ended up fixing it myself once i found out it just needed some extra 103 caps on the buffer chips.  im sorry about the rant.   he makes great products. but i wont support someone with an attitude issue.  there are many other modder out there to support.

 

Anyways...  i didn't know the older snes models had a soft RGB signal and that the 1chip models were better.  i have around 8 regular snes consoles.  none of them are 1 chip so i remember i had a extra snes jr sitting around which is a 1chip.  just need a rgb mod.  i went with a Borti4938’s SNES RGB Bypass board V4.1a with S-video.  i know there a 4.1b  but i wanted the s video too.

 

So at first i got a electrolyte cap kit from console5.  but i noted that the mod chip would make it hard to replace those caps when it came time again.  so i asked luke (console5 owner) about getting a solid cap kit made.  after some talking he sent me a experimental solid polymer cap kit.  which has worked great so far.  these supposedly will last quite a bit longer than electrolyte caps.  as long as it out lives me thats good enough for me lol.

I also replaced the old 5v regulator with a higher amperage 5v regulator.  i also added the extra filter cap on the regulator and in the vacant spot too. i replace the cap inside the ac adapter too.  its hooked up to a scart from retro active cables and a retro tink 4k upscaled picture.  is perfect!

 

So thats it!  if you are looking to get a 1 chip just get a snes jr and mod it.  its pretty easy to do.

Also yes this is my first try at chrono trigger  and at a real RPG game.  other than pokemon.  im not a big RPG fan but i had to try this one cause ive heard its one of the best RPG out there.  it hasnt displeased me so far  and yes i do have a real cart of it for many years.
