This was previously thought to be impossible, but it seems Voultar has proved otherwise. Is it finally time to say bye-bye to blurry 2-chip video output for good? Let’s find out!

Hey, everyone. I want to make something very clear in case there's some confusion. This is NOT an Installation Service only product. This is absolutely a DIY product that will be sold as a DIY product. Please understand, there are over 15 variations of the SNES mainboard that all require documentation. I'm writing documentation while receiving consoles so that I can cover everything that you, the DIY installer, will need to know. This isn't easy and it takes a lot of time and a great deal of labor. I can't answer "where does X wire go" 5, 000 times, but I can answer it once in the documentation and that is precisely why I must gather data for installations, first.

I hope that clears up any confusion. Otherwise, enjoy!

[TheJodyhicks]

Might be a good point to tell people to cycle the power switch after unplugging the SNES to avoid blowing the fuse when removing the audio module.

[Voultar]

Thanks very much Tito for covering the SNES Edge-Enhancer. It was a labor of love and I'm excited for everyone who wants one to get one! This kit will absolutely be available as DIY, soon!

[VexX]

Is it possible to install this 'Edge Enhancer' mod into the human body? Asking for scientific research .

[bobbyboygaming]

lol the epoxy cybersecurity measure was hilarious.

[DisgruntledPigumon]

Honestly, especially in the Metroid comparison, I preferred the blurred version. The “defect” is almost a kind of anti-aliasing.

[awarepenguin]

at this rate the modders will be modding NES well into the year 3000. they're always coming up with something new.

[TVsBen]

in the Mario All-Stars title screen comparison, you can actually see where Nintendo used lighter colors around Mario's outline to counteract the black smearing. That's so wild.

[ThePuffGD]

Always wondered why i prefered visuals on my SNES over emulators.
Its because of the visual smearing. I kinda love it.

[PONTOCRITICO]

This sharpness problem isn't so bad if you think back to the 90s when people only used tube TVs. I honestly wouldn't waste my time making a modification like this if I still had my SNES.

[kalevipoeg]

Trust me kids - NONE of us noticed as kids in the early 90s. SNES was a GODSEND to us. You've no idea. Of course, we got ours around 1993, so maybe it was a 1 chip. We had NO concept of that back then though. We were on our bellies sprawled out in front of Super Mario World in the dark all night long with the sound low so our parents didn't wake up. We only knew THAT? THAT was awesome.

[JackPecker]

Is it just me or does the blurry one look better :D it doesn't hurt my eyes as much and it looks more smooth overall to me

[NemesisApoc]

I got curious about my own SNES and opened it up thanks to this video. Lo and behold, I've had a 1CHIP model SNES all this time and had no idea.

[Cain.]

One of the things I appreciate so much about your videos is your professionalism! Even when you make mistakes, you don't edit them out, you own up to it, explain what happened and even tell WHY the correct way is the better way. Love the videos!!

[JeremyKingTech]

Fixed? The problem was that we all moved away from CRT televisions in the 2000's! This is a cool mod for todays screens but no one thought anything was broken while we played our SNES games in front of our CRT TVs back in the 90's 😂

[LanceThumping]

I'm surprised there isn't an HDMI mod for the SNES that completely bypasses this issue for all consoles.

[DQSpider]

I won't lie, the name "Edge Enhancer" made me recoil in horror. It just brings to mind cranked sharpness controls and their halos. Glad to see that's not an issue though

[kazinwho]

Yeah, since my 2 chip Super Famicom is permanently using S-video, I'll be grabbing one of these for sure. Great video as always, Tito. Thank you!

[zjpeterson]

0:35 That shot of the flying, spinning SNES is gorgeous! I love the transition to the board inside.

[inceptional]

This is not a "major" flaw. Literally nobody even knew such a thing was a thing until the modern age of HDMI connections and HDTVs and nerdy 100x zoom analysis videos on YouTube and such. And the pixel art in many games was even drawn taking this kind of blurring and smearing and so on into account back then, such that the end results often looked much nicer and indeed more correct on old CRTs where all of those visual quirks were present. Some games even needed it to blend areas of low colour with lots of dithering and to help faux transparency basically look right. It's a "flaw" to only the most hardcore nerdy technophiles in the universe. But, yes, this is great to make an already awesome system even better for those who care about things on this level. Now even the most hardcore nerdy technophiles in the universe can love their SNES consoles as much as all the tens of millions of regular SNES fans and gamers out there already do. Ultimately, the SNES has just gotten even better for everyone. It's a win win. :D

PS. Major kudos to Voultar for his amazing work.
