To answer in a word: Yes. 

Now does this mean you will notice the difference, maybe, maybe not. 

The sitation in which I aquire the image is PRE down-processed via a video encoding chip. Also, I don't see a cost for their cable but you could always just buy a SCART NTSC (or PAL if thats the SNES you have) and an SCART to HDMI converter, such as I have done and aquire a stunning picture. 

*Note that SNES Jrs are not wired for SCART cables, though they can be modded easily to do so, it's all there on the board, Nintendo just saved money and didn't print the ciruit for it. Also SNES Jrs actually have the BEST SCART image, SNES-1CHIP(1995-96) are a very close second, SNES-RGB(1994-95) are third but not far from fourth, SNES-GPM(1992-93) are fourth, and the SNES-SHVC (1990-92) is just awful and clearly in last. 

Again... sorry for the super delays and slow responses. I've been seriously occupied by my car. Too much that I've been doing and have to do with it. It's a project car and a daily driver so I can't leave stuff unfinished and want to get certian things done to it before the winter (snow) starts. So hopefully come winter time, I will be indoors and ready to start messing with this project!


Also, guys, feel free to PM me, it sends me an email and I will respond faster!
I want to be able to share and spread any knowledge I have and point you guys to the references I've used.

What is the name plate HDMI?
Where I can buy?

you can put as will the circuit cable circuit only video but audio circuit I do not see where it connects to the plate it looks perfect.

is I can not see well as connect the power / AV connector. ]]> [Tech] SNES HDMI mod http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=113106 2015-10-09T18:26:16 -05.00 JoeVsFox 57 Originally posted by: supersaiyajingodgoku

hi joe
well as asked before, just would like to know if this mod can works on snes junior
gallean,

Yes, however you'll need to wire your SNES Jr. to output SCART. It's there on the board, you just need to make the signal usable. Nintendo found it easier and cheaper to just eliminate that output option as it wasn't used much (even though the picture quality is WAY better).

Check out this link that explains what you'll need to do if you have an SNES Jr:

Seeing the wavy lines on your component-via-CRT picture looks like what my NES was doing on a CRT before I started using a DC power supply.

Try a DC supply and see if it goes away. If so, the component on the CRT is probably going to be the best picture quality of the bunch.

arch_8ngel,

After much research and testing, It was found that the reasoning behind the lines was due to the revision model of the SNES (mine being a GMP-02 chipset). Certain models have cheaper RGB video encoders (those being the GMP series).

Check out this wiki for more info:
http://console5.com/wiki/SNES

It should be said that I also did the DC mod along with the component mod of two GMP-02 chipsets. I tested them with a CRT and LCD, both with the normal power supply, and then the 5VDC supply, comparing the image. The lines were ALWAYS there when trying to use component, but were gone when using composite. It should also be noted that I grabbed lumina from several locations to see if that was the issue. It was not. I can only assum after all that work that I was the revision of the SNES. 

I got my hands on a few different models since and have done the component mod and never had those lines on non-GMP models.

ALSO!... The best picture quality you can get from ANY individual SNES will always be SCART (aka RBG, not to be confused with component). This is, to basically put it, the rawest usable video signal from the SNES. One that hasn't been converted, and in turn, downgraded to a more commonly used input (coaxial or composite). Which is why they started to not wire in the ability to use the SCART signal on the SNES Jrs to save manufacturing time and money (but the RBG signal is still there and can be modded to output SCART). There are a few more tid bits of info on that, but that's basically the concept. And overall, the BEST picture you can get from the entire SNES series will be an RGB modded SNES Jr.

Just see here for yourself (I got a LOT of info from this guy):

CHEERS!
