All captures were made using a RetroTINK-5X Pro on default settings, along with the SMS Test Suite and Alex Kidd in Miracle World as test carts. For composite, the color bleed test was used to show the quality of each console's composite output. This displays alternating columns of color and black that are each a pixel wide. The color bar test was used to help reveal the presence of jailbars in each console's RGB output.
