Super Nintendo mod fixes a 34-year-old blurry video nuisance — the kit provides sharp video through composite and S-Video connectors

Super Nintendo.

Enthusiasts have a knack for solving looming problems not addressed by respective companies effectively, even years after their product cycle. That's the case with the SNES mod kit by Voultar, which solves a thirty-four-year-old problem plaguing the first-generation Super Nintendo with blurry video output, affecting colors and sharpness. It has been a widespread issue since its inception as two-chip SNES models have become more common and widely available since its release.

The problem exists because its video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) cannot transition between different colors, creating a blurry video sharpness. While Nintendo eventually addressed the problem, it didn't address the issue affecting its existing dual-chip users.
