"Is There a Hidden Danger Lurking in Your SNES?"
Retro gaming enthusiasts are concerned about the longevity of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) due to a high failure rate of its CPUs, particularly the Rev A version. Repair specialists are calling for the development of replacement CPUs to prevent these vintage consoles from becoming inoperable. While capacitors and other components can be replaced with relative ease, the CPU is a more complex issue, and without a viable replacement, every SNES could potentially fail over time. The community hopes for a solution similar to the replacement ICs created for the Neo Geo.
