Hello all, this is my first message here. I never used sync on composite, and I never plan to. (That is, of course, assuming that you don't NEED a sync stripper because the input device wont accept sync on composite.) Not that I'm an authority on the matter. If the input device stripped the sync well enough, you wouldn't need an additional sync stripper. is not responsible for third party website content. If you can use a sync stripper to get a pure sync from composite video, and it results in you having a more clear picture, then that's proof for what I'm suggesting. Case in point: People use sync strippers to clean up an image. I always assumed that would happen because the input device isn't doing a good job. All they said about using composite as sync though is that it will sometimes add artifacts to the image. Here's a very interesting an informative video on the subject of sync types: Very informative video. As for PAL format, I have no experience with those, so I don't know what the status is on if CSYNC is supported and on what versions.įirebrandx wrote:From what I understand though, the picture quality is inferior.

Also to further clarify, the 1-CHIP-01 and -02 do in fact have CSYNC active, so this mod is only required on the -03 revision. Rather than settle for using 'sync-on-composite-video', I opted to do the wire soldering mod job to hook up CSYNC on the motherboard. So when I got my XRGB-mini, I was able to test mine and sure enough, CSYNC wasn't active. To clarify: I had read reports that NTSC 1-CHIP-03 consoles don't have CSYNC hooked up (you can still use RGB on it with 'sync-on-composite-video', but this is an inferior RGB method). It wouldn't surprise me if PAL had sync hooked up but NTSC didn't. My 1-Chip SNES is actually a PAL model that I hardwired to be NTSC. It's an NTSC SNES? It has RGB hooked up, but not sync? I wouldn't be able to confirm if this is the case with later revisions. Thankfully the mod to hook it up is a simple solder job of one little wire on the motherboard.

My serial number indicates I have one of the original production lines of the 1-CHIP-03, so this would mean likely all 1-CHIP-03 original SNES units do not have it hooked up either. I think you could be on to something with it being a refurb.įirebrandx wrote:At any rate, my XRGB-mini arrived yesterday, and I was able to confirm that the original model SNES 1-CHIP-03 does not have csync hooked up. My unit was also a UN8 and was not a 1-CHIP. I thought it was pretty strange that this SNES I was cleaning up had two serial number stickers on it.

On, we are collecting 64DD serial numbers to get an idea of production quantities and stuff.
