HDMI Cable for Super Nintendo SNES, Super Famicom SFC Console - 6FT, Black

To start with, so far as of this writing, this nifty little cable has saved me not only from having to spend an additional $100 for other specialty cables and such. The picture quality has been incredible, and two and a half months in, this cable seems to work very well each time I play a game, and even has the convenient "No Signal" text box scrolling around when not detecting input to keep my TV from having any burned-in images, which is very nice!I also like that I have the option to switch to 4:3, which is where I have it set at, as I don't like having to deal with stretched images very much. Another great aspect of this product is just how easy it is to hook up your own power source, with the cable already provided, only requiring a purchase of a 5 volt USB adapter for stability. The setup is very simple and straightforward, and the best part is that this cable actually works! I just had a Hyperkin 3-in-1 cable not long ago, and was terrible with those annoying checkerboard patterns that I'm not experiencing with this cable.Overall, if you want a quality RGB to HDMI cable without spending a fortune on specialized cables, or expensive mods that are very risky to install, this is what I can happily say is the cable for you! As a bonus to everything I mentioned above, the games actually look better than their virtual console counterparts in the quality department with a more accurate aspect ratio, and comparable quality image. This is perfect for those like me who want to play Lufia II or Chrono Trigger without worrying about either there being no virtual console to get these anymore, and bad quality picture from composite or RF cables.UPDATE: 7/31/2020The customer support from these guys are amazing, and will go above and beyond to make sure they deliver you a quality product! These cables are the way to go if you want to play SNES games in HD without any hassles!!

My adapter had no sound. I contacted Levelhike support and they sent me out a replacement quickly and with no hassle.

If you're a fan of retro gaming, the HDMI cable for the Super Nintendo SNES and Super Famicom SFC Console is a game-changer, quite literally! This nifty little accessory has brought my beloved classics into the modern era with crisp, clear graphics that breathe new life into each pixel. Gone are the days of fuzzy images and unstable connections; this HDMI cable provides a stable, reliable link to contemporary displays, ensuring that your gaming experience is as smooth as it is nostalgic. The installation process is a breeze, and the moment you boot up your favorite game, you're greeted with vibrant colors and a level of clarity that the original designers would be proud of. It's like seeing an old friend with a new lease on life – the same great personality, but even more beautiful than you remember. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or discovering these gems for the first time, this HDMI cable is your ticket to a premium retro gaming experience.

This adapter is the easy way to get your old SNES console up and running on your modern TV via HDMI. Picture quality and response is great... not super duper like you'd get if you spent tons of time and money setting up RGB output and such, but good enough for most people considering how easy this is to setup. Simply power the device with a USB port from your TV or any USB power adapter (phone charger, etc.) then plug the adapter into your SNES multi-out port. Select the aspect ratio that you want using the switch on the adapter, and connect it to your TV with a regular HDMI cable.If you have multiple classic consoles you might want to get a more generic adapter (that allows S-video and RCA composite inputs rather than using the proprietary Nintendo connector), but if you want to keep the setup as simple as possible this is the easiest way to go.

Note: Shout out to Violet over at Amazon who tried to help me debug this product. Awesome tech support and deserves a bonus!Testing Suite:Capture Card: Magewell Pro Capture HDMI (Linux, PCIe, used for both HDMI and S-Video Capture)Monitors Tested:- ASUS 1920x1080 VC279 IPS (5ms g2g)- TCL S525 55" TV VA (10ms Response)- Toshiba 20vl43u (S-Video Control, my daily driver, 16ms Response)Consoles Tested:- SNES Jr. with Voultar RGB Mod- SNES (Full Size) with a 1-ChipPower Delivery:LevelHike was externally powered using various types of USB PSUs (Apple, Samsung, and Asus with various amperages)SNES uses a real 1st party PSUFirst off I want to say I had medium expectations for this product. I thought that it would look better than my current S-Video setup but not be as good as say a Framemeister, OSSC, RetroTink, or Rad2x. At first glance you may be pleasantly surprised by the results, however when you start playing a game you notice some artifacting that doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it just ruins an otherwise decent product. Let's get into the details.Moving vs Standstill (Pictures Attached)- Standing still the picture is razor sharp at 720p, it puts my S-Video output to shame (and it should, it is using the RGB on the SNES to do the upscaling/line doubling) however when you move the picture studders and becomes plasticy, I assume this is because of some weird filter or interpolation. This really kills the experience.Studdering / Deinterlacing IssuesThere is a very weird issue (and it may have to do with the above) when you move between menus it studders the pixels or 'shakes' making it look very choppy. I tried various settings in relation to this on my displays to make this work and to no avail. It would seem whatever deinterlacing engine they are using is just bad and causes a weird subpixel shift in between frames causing a shake, it was actually pretty nauseating. (I wish I could show this in a meaningful way, but doing a frame-by-frame analysis shows that it is indeed shifting pixels up and down every other frame, leading me to blame a bad deinterlacer so screenshots would be of no use here)Input Response (Actually a Positive Here)While I do not have a setup to test input response, it felt about the same or better as my Toshiba on my more modern displays. I was able to do a minimum heart blind fight (Link to the Past) with no issue which is fairly input heavy fight in the game and any significant input lag will result in death. So while it isn't better than a CRT, it would be fine for speedrunning maybe outside of like, Mario.Overall, I'm disappointed. I wanted these to be a good intermediary solution until the Rad2x becomes more available because my setup is a mess and it is aging to the point where my old TVs, spliters, and switches are becoming finicky and wanted to migrate to a full HDMI setup. Unfortunately these need work, they are so close to being a perfect GA product but miss the mark on really significant details.It's also unfortunate that Retrovision, Rad2x, and other quality lag-less doubles/scalers are always out of stock, because of that people turn to stuff like this because it is easy to obtain. I wish the makers of those products would license and distribute their products so that we don't have to be here returning a product in frustration and just enjoy our classic games.
