Any one know where to find a SNES besides EBAY?

Aghama

That's likely the only place you're going to get it. I have one...it's kind of flaky, and it doesn't have a power LED which is pretty irritating. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

I agree. The original is better IMO.

I know where you can get one if you are desperate for one. But, it will cost you a fair amount. Email me personally if you want to know how to get your hands one.

I've never seen one of these before. I was confused about what you all were talking about, so i checked on EBAY... I've never even heard of these, when were they released?

It's really not worth it for the cost.

It's not worth it... I actually have found 2 for cheap at pawn shops and bought them to eBay... at first, I thought I would keep one. But then I discovered that it will not support s-video output. That alone makes it not worth it.

And yes, it was made after the original line, I believe as a way to sell more units. Similitar to Sony's new PS1 and the old Playstation.

Aghama

I've noticed that too. Does the original version?

Mezzanine

Yes, the original SNES does indeed support S-Video output.

Aghama

Hey Bax53, want to buy mine?

I've heard about the no S-video thing for the SNES "2", but it still uses the same ports, so why wouldn't it? I bought a S-video cable for my SNES "2", but have yet to try it. If you connect it via S-video does anything show up on the screen?

Aghama

Nope, you get sound and that's it. When I got my SNES 2.0 off ebay, I immediately tried plugging in the s-video cable from my GC...I thought it was busted until I tried the composite cables.

The support for S-Video is not on the board at all. It was cut in an effort to make the unit smaller. So while it uses the same connector, the s-video cable will not work, but RCA will.

I always wondered why Nintendo never released a smaller version of the N64 -- they did it with both the NES and SNES. I always thought it had something to do with the N64's lack of success compared to earlier consoles. Any thoughts?

Good thing I kept my original SNES. One day I hope to hook it up with S-video. Unfortunately, my old Sony TV only has one S-video input, and that's for my DVD player. The other imputs are for my VCR and then a whole bunch of switch boxes (S-video compatible) full of game systems. Does anyone know if the Super8 is S-video compatible? I got it off of eBay a while ago. I have it hooked up to the small SNES, but it's really designed for the original.

Since we're on the subject of older systems, do any of the Genesis systems / peripherals have S-video compatibility?
