Less than the other revisions.....See why here. That board revision is a bit different. The 1 chip hype has calmed down quite a bit anyhow. I wouldnt pay any more for an 03

https://www.retrorgb.com/snes1chi...

 

There are three revisions of the 1CHIP motherboard: SNS-CPU-1CHIP-01, SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02 and SNS-CPU-1CHIP-03. The “03” revision does not have csync run to the multi-out. You can use these consoles without a modification, simply by using an RGB SCART cable that gets sync from luma. I’ve been able to restore csync on these consoles by using a simple jumper wire, however that doesn’t seem to be the best solution, as it’s missing circuitry found in the other 1CHIP revisions: http://www.retrorgb.com/snescsync...



If you have a 1CHIP-03, you’ll want to consider using a sync-on-luma cable, restoring the entire circuit on the motherboard, or using an RGB bypass board that includes the full csync circuit.

I have one but I'm usin a SNES to hdmi adapter, not from hyperkin but from amazon. If u search amazon for snes to hdmi, that is the cable I'm using lol. I only got it since I scored a deal on it plus comparing from YouTube videos and from playing with it myself it has a significant video quality upgrade. I just don't feel like going through the hoops of buying a framister and using scart cables. I jus wanna play it in hdmi which like I've said looks better than a 2 chip IMO

Really? I actually thought it was worth more because once modded, it has the best picture.

You thought wrong. There is really no clear winner. Here is a incredible write up.

Yeah, I'm familiar with this write up and Bob's work. Maybe I read it wrong, but he just says it requires a mod. It seems that he believes this makes it impossible to choose one of the 1 chip variants as a victor. It seemed like shmups discussions pointed to the modded 03 model having the sharpest pixels.

It's w.e really I can't seem to find any prices on a 03 1chip besides what I payed for it which was less than $100 bux since the deck was yellowed and somebody spilt soda in the inside but it works well nevertheless

From what I've seen and been quoted in the past two years. You're probably realistically looking somewhere around $100. The eBay prices I've seen it at are too high and have been dropping. Even a local guy, who is high on prices, imo said he could do $120.

Thanks man!  I paid at least $75 for mine and I’m quite happy with the quality of video and my retro right job on the case

yup despite what some people say the 1 chip is a far better console. Any revision is fine and 03 is great with the hd retrovision cable
