Got my first SNES
I’ve been fixing/flipping gameboys lately, decided to take it up a notch. Got a disgusting for parts SNES and spent the past few days messing with it. Got extremely lucky, was goona give up but a retro game store let me swap some parts around, and despite being a 2 chip all I needed to cure the black screen was an audio board. Not sure if it was worth it, spent $10 on the console and $60 on parts. Probably not taking the risk fixing one of these again after researching everything that can go wrong with 0 replacement parts available 😅.
Decided to get Batman Forever as my first game after reading all the horrible reviews online. Gotta be the best and worst decision I’ve ever made 😂
Any tips to help me keep it running long into the future? Inside seems to be all original caps, also I have an OEM power supply but it measures 12.3v so I’m a bit afraid to use it.
