Thanks for your help Thunderblaze, that clarifies a lot of things. Would you know if there was any version of the original Starfox that used a GSU chip instead of the Mario chip? ]]> Would like some definitive Super FX info http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=103591 2013-05-21T18:34:16 -05.00 Dark Jaguar 10 ]]> Would like some definitive Super FX info http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=103591 2013-05-21T18:11:54 -05.00 Dark Jaguar 10 The Mario Chip could only run at 10.5mhz

Now both the Super FX 1 & 2 chip are really the same chip except the FX 2 chip offered more SRAM.


Here are the Specifications, (chip with board)

Super FX Chip (16-bit)
Clock Rate: 21MHz (w/ divider 10.5MHz)
Number of contacts on board: 100 pin
Rom: 1MB
SRAM: 32 KB

Super FX Chip 2 (16-bit)
Clock Rate: 21 MHz
Number of contacts on board: 112 pins
SRAM: 64KB to 128 KB


HERE are links to learn more about the chip, an interview with one of the men who worked on the chip and a commerical.

Specifically, what are the real differences between the Mario chip, the GSU-1, and the GSU-2?  Also, what revisions of Starfox were there?  Did they all use the Mario chip or did later versions use the GSU-1?

Thank you for your time.  I'm just trying to get this figured out. ]]>
