Super Nintendo SNES (console only)

Super Nintendo is in working order with a small graphical glitch that appears to only show on a title screen, as shown in mario all stars picture on left side of screen. During the actual game it appears to go away. My best guess is a ppu1 or 2 chip, which i don't have any on hand to test with. Aside from that it works perfect. Console has a small chip in front left also shown. Fuse, voltage regulator, and capacitors have been replaced. System was opened and cleaned. It has a few scuffs and shows normal wear for an older console. The auction is for console only.
