Description
Please note:
- The three boards are unpopulated, please check the BOM to see which components need to be purchased separately.
- The main chips must be taken from an original SHVC-CPU-01 (NTSC-J) unit only. Other motherboard revisions cannot be used for now. To discover which model your Super Famicom is, you will need to open the console and inspect the silkscreen on the SFC motherboard itself.
- We recommend to consider rescuing a beat up unit as part of your build.
- You will need to use a Super Famicom PSU, NOT a UK/EU Super Nintendo PSU. We stock a suitable power adapter here.
