Title says it all. No need for cables or games. Let's have someone pull through with this one. :king:

Hi. I suppose depends on parts and labor costs. A not-modded SNES mini isn't too valuable loose. I'd doubt this is above $60 at most unless there's an especially complex procedure involved. Tab removal being the obvious easiest step (even I succeeded doing that the ugly way lol).

Once I get this mini, I can sell one of my SNES1s to help make up for it anyway.

Are the SNES minis not S-Video capable through the A/V jack like the original SNES's?

Not that I recall. Probably not RGB either. US N64 only had the former IIRC.

Nope. If you use an S-vid cable with one, you'll get a bunch of ugly lines across your tv screen. Why Nintendo removed that feature from this system is a mystery...like the only way they could shrink the system size down was to get rid of a video output option.

It was probably a cost reduction measure as well.
