![]() ![]() It’s an easy comparison, as all the 2-chip models have video output that’s very blurry and while some are better then others, none come close to any of the consoles with the S-CPUN chip (1CHIP/Mini’s). I’d like to compare some of the worst “2-chip” consoles to the best “1CHIP”, a modded SNES Mini. The SNES Mini / SNES Jr uses the same S-CPUN chip and produces an equal or better picture as the 1CHIP models. Three total revisions were manufactured, the SNS-CPU-1CHIP-01, SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02 and SNS-CPU-1CHIP-03. They appropriately labeled these motherboard revisions “1CHIP”. In 1995, Nintendo released a revision to their Super Nintendo consoles that combined the system’s two video chips into one chip labeled the S-CPUN. For whatever reason, these revisions outputted a signal that looks like it has a horizontal blur applied (some kind of low-pass filtering?) and as you can see in the picture above, it’s a much blurrier image. While there is only one board revision of the SNES Mini, the original Super Nintendo / Super Famicom consoles had many different motherboard revisions and chip changes! Most of the original SNES revisions used two video chips to produce a signal and these have been nicknamed the “2-chip” versions. The SNES Mini and 1CHIP consoles output a much higher quality signal then the older SNES revisions. ![]()
