OpenSFC Super Famicom / SNES Replacement Motherboard Set (SHVC-CPU-01) Read Desc
$30.00

This is a set of reproduction boards for the original SHVC-CPU-01 Model SFC / SNES console. Please confirm model compatibility before purchasing. This variant attempts to match the original look and feel as much as possible with a budget friendly price so that you may refurbish and restore a unit to its original condition. However, as the original board is a 1990\'s product, it is a HASL board. As such, shipping may be restricted to some territories.
This listing is the project\'s official listing and comes with limited support for helping you complete your build. Please see below for details.
There are 3 SKUs offered:SFC: For use with a Japanese Super Famicom Shell
SNES:For use with a North American SNES Shell
Combo: Includes both Controller Port boards so you can decide on the shell later, or swap at your discretion.
PAL Users:THIS IS AN NTSC MOTHERBOARD. Please ensure you use an appropriate power supply and video cable for an import console in your region. The OEM power supplies are 100-120V Input, 9-10V DCCenter Negative Output.DO NOT TRY TO USE A PAL SNES POWER SUPPLY AS PAL SNES USES AC OUTPUT. PAL SCART CABLES ARE ALSO WIRED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE NTSC MULTI-OUT. PLEASE REVIEW VIDEO COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION FOR IMPORT SUPER FAMICOMS / NORTH AMERICAN SNES CONSOLES FOR YOUR REGION. IF YOU ARE USING A SCALER SUCH AS RETROTINK, MORPH4K ETC, USE AN NTSC WIRED SCART CABLE.
WARNING: You are purchasing a bare PCB. This project requires advanced soldering skills to complete. You must be able to solder and desolder fine pitch QFPs as well as 0805 SMD components. Buying a board does not guarantee a successful build as that will depend on your skills, experience and equipment. Please carefully assess the project documentation for the required skills, tools, and materials before purchasing. All parts to assemble the kit are sold separately. A BOM is available in the project\'s documentation. Some parts must be sourced from a donor unit of the same model. No returns can be accepted as soon as solder has touched the board.
Why OpenSFC?
Here are some reasons you may want an OpenSFC board...
Repairing Damage to Original Boards
Boards can be damaged by a variety of incidents: leaked capacitors, liquid spills, flooded basements/warehouses, humidity damage from improper storage, failed mod attempts, etc. If your motherboard has suffered physical damage (corroded pads, traces, rust), then this replacement motherboard can be used as a repair part.
Note: A new motherboard cannot repair failed chips. Please perform diagnostics before purchasing.
LearningYou may want to learn about how the console works. The ability to restore one by hand is an excellent way to gain some insight into how the console works.Customization
Some people find joy in customizing a beat-up unit while restoring it, and OpenSFC is a great basis for a custom build.
If you\'re into building a custom unit, please be responsible and choose a rustic unit for your restoration so that we don\'t needlessly deplete the supply of original units in good condition
