In this Livestream we're going through our initial tests of our RGB Modded SNES JR. We have used Voultar's RGB Mod Chip in a SNES Jr, connected to an OCCS with 2x Line Doubling enabled.

The Nintendo Super NES is my favorite console of all time. The library of games is second to none, I love the graphical style, and overall it's just a great machine. One thing that is not-so-great about it is the composite video output. While it was decent in the 90's it looks like a hot mess compared to the current video output options from other systems and emulation systems, such as the SNES Classic and RetroPies.

Being such a fan of the SNES I do actually own an original, an original Super Famicom and a SNES Jr. I also own the HD Retrovision cables for the SNES and Super Famicom to get the best component video quality possible, and thankfully the original SNES and SFC are plug-and-play compatible with these cables. The Super NES Jr., which is noted to have the best possible video output from the box is not compatible with the HD Retrovision Cables. However, Voultar's Mod Shop has a solution to re-enable this functionality and restore RGB output from the console.

We're currently working on an installation video for this modchip, but while that is in the works we wanted to test it out in a livestream. One thing of note is that, for streaming, I am routing the HD Retrovision cables through my OSSC and into my ElGato. The OSSC is noted for compatibility issues with the SNES, and this is no exception. We will be testing out the RetroTink in the coming weeks, hopefully, that is a more direct solution without the compatibility issues.
