Closed NTSC Super nintendo

[treberto]

Prefereably full kit (RGB Scart lead and PSU) but would settle for console only.

I have a couple of extras for sale with hookups I don't have scart
though just RF or AV and psu.

sending you a pm mate.

@treberto: you'll never find a NTSC unit with SCART connector, as only European PAL units will have it.

Go for any NTSC unit you find, as the one Trey offered you.

I think they can all output scart but as I understand it the RGB on the JAP/USA consoles is superior to PAL.

Don't fool yourself, NTSC colour system is horrible, to say the least.

That's why it is named NTSC (Not Twice Same Colour). PAL encoding is far superior. Only minor drawback is the flickering because the 50Hz vertical refresh.

Thats interesting. I have a PAL unit with a switch fitted and the picture is pretty good in 50Hz mode but when I make it full screen and 60Hz the screen goes fuzzy (Like composite) but in 'normal' mode the screen looks great.

Not true !!!

Both Jap NTSC Megadrive and SuperFamicom output RGB signals through their standard video output.
I've had both jap consoles for years with RGB scart lead.

That's really weird...
Maybe your switch was not fitted properly and the console switches to Composite when in 60Hz/NTSC mode ?
Maybe it comes from your tv Scart input, not accepting RGB in NTSC mode ?

Not sure if you found anything yet, but i happen to have a set of AV cables, plus the original 110V psu from my long gone US console..
I actually don't know if the psu works, but i recall the AV cables being ok.
I plugged the psu to an 110v socket, and tried to measure output, but got me about 0.2 vdc instead of what i guess should be 10.
If anyone knows better, (eg if it needs a load for correct measurement) please let us know..
If you're interested, i could get rid of them for a fiver (Euros) plus regular shipping..
Here's some pics:

Cheers!

Why not get yourself a cheap PAL unit, and a nice RGB Scart lead? Send the system off to Console Passion. They'll install a region and 50/60hz switch to it.

The picture quality on both 50/60hz is stunning.

My Console Passion unit has given me years of trouble free gaming.

NTSC colour encoding doesn't matter when you are using rgb. Rgb is the raw signal and not encoded.

PAL consoles run games slower than intended as most didn't compensate when programming the games for other regions. A US or Jap snes with a rgb scart lead will play both us and jap games (with modifying the cart slot) at the speed they were intended

Also, I do all those type of mods on other sites I am a member of
