I've uploaded another video of the board in action, this time installed in a SNES...

That was a fun game, Wild Guns. One of the few imports I gained an affection for and enjoyed.

BTW, what model SNES do you have ?? Just FYI, did you know about the native YPbPr/Component support ? Only if the video encoder chip doesn't say S-RGB anywhere, though.

Yep, I've heard about the native component mod for the SNES. I've tried it on a few diffent SNES variants but I always get washed out colors (yellows seem to be mainly affected).

Yeah, I've heard the complaint on yellows. I hoped someone by now that was a professional EE would design the best circuit amp for those signals, but as it stands only a generic circuit is available. I would like to know the results if you add steve's circuit to one that has the right chip, do both mods and compare results from the same unit. I guess you're already suggesting steve's will likely be better though.

For the sake of it, I'll try to do a side by side comparison sometime. I might also add Ace's BA7230 based circuit to the mix.

Steve's PCB has it's own issue(s) actually. I've witnessed some distortion or an undesired green tint on the top of the screen. The effect can be minimized with a sync cleaner or by adjusting the Y pot on the PCB. That said, overall, Steve's circuit does a better job that the native SNES component IMO.

Has this been confirmed to work with the NESRGB PCB? If not, I'm about to test it soon so I'll report back about that.

No I haven't tried it yet.  Please do and let us know.

turbokon - can I ask how much it cost to get that PCB made?

I did a RGB conversion using the NJM2267 amps, but I actually have a pair of the surface mount versions of them too. An SMD version of that circuit would be pretty awesome!
