DEAR GOD
So from this OP I have learned that a) I might already own a 1-CHIP SNES and b) my SCART switch might be making it look like poo poo. Looks like I have some testing to do.

DEAR GOD
Got my Genesis SCART cable and now my SNES looks terrible by comparison. I'm thinking even though its serial starts with 3 (301404002 to be precise) it can't be a 1chip because of how much muddier it looks than the Genesis. Why does it even matter to me! I was happy before!

Oh, and I had no idea some SCART switches were better than others. Tried to see if my lovely one (cheap silver thing from earlier in the thread) was giving off distortion and it's definitely throwing up some faint, wavy lines. Thanks a lot, goons! Now I'll see that forever!

I need an optical mod snes mini so I can a) bypass the scart switch entirely and b) have no possible reason to complain about quality.

I hate myself.l :retrogames:

Behold my retro game station. And by retro game station I mean a bunch of random poo poo I cobbled together.

Krikzz actually is working on that. He's making both a 60-pin Famicom one and a 72-pin NES one, so you are set. Yes, they will load FDS games :woop:

I've confirmed that they all have original remotes, so VIDEO being displayed at the top of the screen won't be a problem.

This happened to me for a while and I thought I was the only one, haha. Picked up a $1 universal remote which solved the problem. I have the same model 'tron and it owns. Go gittit.

Is there a simple way to generate properly named save files for every rom I have on my SNES PowerPak?

If you run your ROMs through GoodSNES I can send you a ZIP of empty saves with the right names. I had this problem too and while I could semi-automate it, it was a colossal pain in the rear end.

YES! THANK YOU! You can reach me at tslout@gmail.com.
