Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:The original batch for the first year had a higher quality video encoder and also contained a completely un-integrated audio circuit that plugged in on it's own daughter board making for smoother sound with little to no distortion in the high end like later SNES's and little to any ground loop interference when compared to later models.

For an average TV and built in speakers setup you won't notice much difference, but if you use an S-video cable and a Hi-Fi Receiver the differences make for a much more colorful and audibly distortion-free experience.
Good info there, Mod_Man_Extreme. Thanks a lot for explaining it. That's something I'm definitely going to look out for whenever I find a SNES in the wild.

I just got a broken DS Light for $5. Someone had dropped it and then it stopped working. Upon opening it up, I found out that a piece on the circuit board had broken off. I don't know what the piece actually is, where on the circuit board it broke off from, or how to reattach it, so I'm out of luck there.

I picked up Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti for $20 and Akumajo Special: Boku Dracula-kun for $13 on eBay. Famicom parody games FTW!

If you got a camera, if you make a thread in the tech help forum, we might be able to help you out and get it working.
