Accessories
Beyond the flashcart, a few accessories round out a modern SNES setup. Most relate to video output and storage, since the console itself needs no firmware or software updates.
Video cables
- RGB SCART or component cables deliver the sharpest picture, especially from 1CHIP and Jr boards.
- Upscalers and line doublers let you display the SNES cleanly on modern flat panels.
Storage and power
- A reliable SD card for the FXPak Pro; brand-name cards reduce save corruption.
- A quality power supply rated for your console's region and voltage.
Region and import helpers
- Cartridge adapters bridge the Super Famicom and SNES slot shapes for import play.
- A multi-region flashcart shell lets the FXPak Pro sit in any console without slot trimming.
Match cables to your board
An older multi-chip board may need an RGB bypass amp to look its best, while a 1CHIP or Jr board usually shines with a plain RGB cable. Buy the cable that suits your specific revision rather than a generic one.
