I installed a flexible polyamide adapter for the first time. Some of the SNES video processor pins needed to be removed from the motherboard and soldered to the adapter. Yes, it was more difficult than with the Genesis, but still doable.

Superswitch HD - Digital Video Output for SNES.

Digital video out for Super Nintendo - prototype
I am developing a digital video output for the SNES.
Superswitch HD is an internal modification of the console that upscales the image to 1080p.
The data source is a digital bus of the PPU.
Conceptually, the device is similar to Megaswitch HD.
The digital image is buffered and upscaled to a higher resolution.
Both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios are supported.
Thanks to the buffer, the image height can be adjusted.
And stable HDMI signal generation is maintained when the console changes resolution.
The video shows a demonstration of the prototype in operation.
