This page shows some random tips for SNES systems. Rather then create a page for each, I thought it would be easier to put them all on one page. [contact.html Let me know] if you have any other great tips I haven't listed yet:
 
 
 
**Loose Cartridge Lever on SNES 1**
 
If your cartridge release lever isn't as firm as it used to be, you can simply move the spring slightly over. I find moving it just this tiny bit makes a huge difference: [[File:SNESCartridgeSpring.jpg]]
 
 
 
**NTSC-J cartridges on NTSC Systems:**
 
You can play Japanese Super Famicom cartridges on a North American SNES (or SNES Mini), simply by cutting two tabs inside the cartridge slot. This will _not_ allow you to play PAL games on an NTSC SNES, but it will let you play all NTSC-J games, as well as use the Super Game Boy 2: [[[File:SuperFamicomCartsInSNES.jpg)](https://cdn.retrorgb.com/images/SuperFamicomCartsInSNES.png]]
 
Alternatively, if you'd rather not cut any plastic on your console, you can just swap out the underside of the plastic with a 3D-printed tray!:  [https://www.shapeways.com/product/MARFTPFQQ/unisn2-tray-for-snes-2?optionId=56237730 https://www.shapeways.com/product/MARFTPFQQ/unisn2-tray-for-snes-2?optionId=56237730]
 
 
 
=== **SNES Component Video Out:** ===
 
Some older SNES' can be modded to output component video. I prefer using the 1CHIP or Mini versions in RGB, but here's a link if you're interested: [http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=37716&sid=b4a60571f5a426020271bbe450044ff3 http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=37716&sid=b4a60571f5a426020271bbe450044ff3]
 
As an FYI, if you're just looking for component video output, using teh HDRetrovision cables are an easier choice:  [http://www.hdretrovision.com/snes/ http://www.hdretrovision.com/snes/]
 
That's it for now. I'll try to add more.

If your cartridge lever is loose on your launch model SNES, you can take the console apart and move the bottom end of the spring into the hole on the left. This will add more tension on the spring and make the cartridge release lever much more firm.
