    I see some SNES Mini on ebay and youtube with the super cic running.
    But i found no tutorial for installing the super cic on the mini. Is it same procedure as for the other SNES?

    Installation is exactly the same as for 'normal' big model 1Chip-SNES ;)
    You can use the stripboard by kel, a kit by Bad_Ad84, or also use some designs from OSHPark: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Brpg2thK, https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/4ylmFTd5

    Personally I have modded a lot of SNES Minis: some with SuperCIC, some with SuperCIC + uIGR + Regionpatch, and also two with a Ultra16. All mods need the electronic clock switch and I never experienced problems ;)

    Bear in mind that I have still not got around to updating that stripboard design regarding the mini/jr if you decide to use it.

    The only difference would be CN3. Instead of connecting to X1 right pin you would need to connect to TC1+ on the mini/jr.

    I will try it with the stripboard from kel. Thanks for the infos guys!

    @kel
    Im little confused aboud GND.
    I dont need the 10k resistor for the super cic? goes on cn12 on your board. On other shematics there is GND with the 10k resistor on pin 12.

    It depends on whether you want to remove the original CIC completely or just lift pins 1, 2, 10 and 11. If you remove the original CIC completely then you will have to add a 10k resistor between cn12 and GND like you mentioned but if you just lift the pins then the 10k resistor is not needed.

    Also thought it was worth mentioning that if you wanted to leave IGR out of the stripboard for any reason then there is a redesigned version by Palthe here:

    There is also this coming soon, assuming it passes testing OK.

    If you want to hold out for a free one - they should be here in a week or 2.

    nice! Ok than i wait, please let me know when you rdy to ship.

    For my understanding, when i remove the cic, i have to use cic pins 1,2,10,11 and GND over 10k resistor on SCIC "pin" 12 .
    With lifting the cic pins, i need 1,2,7,8,10,11 ?

    you always need to connect the SuperCIC with CIC 1, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 11 next to Vcc and GND what you can get from CIC 18 and 9 if you want to...
    A 10k resistor is needed between CIC 8 and GND (which is the same as between pin 13 and 14 of the SuperCIC) if you remove the CIC. If you just lift pin 1, 2, 10 and 11 of the CIC, the 10k is not need because there is an internal pull-down at pin 8 of the CIC. However, there is no problem if you want to use the 'external' 10k in any case.
