At the moment, the highest frequency submitted is 32,182 Hz. This increase is less than 1% of the original value of 32,000 Hz
What was the original tolerance for these chips?
Ceramic resonators have a typical accuracy of +/-0.5%. An error of +182Hz is a +0.57% error rate.
Here is a datasheet cited by the Wikipedia article. It says 0.5% initial error, another 0.3% over its full temperature range, and another 0.3% over 10 years of aging.
I guess “SNES operating within spec after 30 years” doesn’t grab attention the same way.
Maybe in time consoles will be aged like fine wine or cheese.
You don’t keep your Sega Genesis in an oaken cask?
My NES has notes of citrus
