Snes jr. with a cxa2075

Post by Drakon »

Since I was so impressed wtih the cxa2075 in my sega genesis making the picture quality much sharper than the cxa1645 I decided to try wiring the 2075 into my snes jr. Sure enough....the s-video picture quality is an improvement over the encoder built into the snes jr. So I tapped the rgb, sync, and colour subcarrier inputs of the encoder built into the snes. Don't worry the original encoder is still in the snes jr. and it still works great. I have s-video wired into the s-video output from my cxa2075 circuit:

Here's a screenshot

The screenshot looks a little messy but believe me the picture is definitely sharper than it was before. My capture card just picks up strange things that don't show up at all on my crt tv.

Screenshots comparing the s-video from an un-modded snes model 1 vs. the s-video from my snes jr. with a cxa2075 installed.

Speak for yourself. And do it yourself.

Looks excellent as always Drakon! It definitely highlights the extent to which developers used dithering, but on the SNES jr. I think this is a necessary mod.

I still want to do that someday.

It'd be funny.
