The improvement in RGB format is impressive. Thanks you for your video.

I’ve got my nes connected with composite snes rf and 64 and GameCube scart. It works well. Little Philips 14 inch crt.

I really want to start repairing my old systems. Especially the NES. Thank you for the video.

Very nice! It's incredible how much smaller the modern power supply replacement is compared to the original board.

Good work👍🏻.

Quite surprised RF's text was easier than composite. I underestimated RF. Don't have a cable to try it myself.

More important for an authentic experience would be a video recording comparison on a CRT TV rather than the data being transmitted. RGB on a screen recording shown on a LED TV looks sterile. Great colors and clear details, but a bit boring. Composite and RF has an annoying contrast, but the blur makes it look so much more alive. When displayed on a CRT however, they both look quite good and not too dissimilar, but with a bit more colors on RGB and what I find important for some games with small text, sharper. If you're trying to play low resolution chinese/japanese games with lots of kanji, this sharpness becomes very noticeable. If you're just playing games without much text it's not an issue at all though.

Thanks for the vid. There's some places online saying you need to put extra resistors to make the Famicom controllers work with the additional cable length, but it looks like you didn't and didn't have any problems - did P2 work as expected too?

Love these kind of videos, great work mate! keep'em coming!

If i don't fix them, will they get worse? Because whenever i unscrew something to fix it i end up destroying it even more and I don't mind a few missing pixel lines

I got a DSiXL second hand and I thought the screens were starting to die because the corners show very slightly brown when they're supposed to be white. But the effect is the same on both screens and pretty hard to notice. In your video footage, it almost looks like your new screens have the same thing going on. Is that just how the DSiXL normally is? Or are mine starting to die?

Love your repair series mate! Any chance on posting again more vids?

Hard to notice on Sony Trinitron in svideo

I am sure the difference is noticeable in person on a crt but upscaled through a capture card in this vid it is almost impossible to tell. Differences in brightness will vary by TV and scart cable. Color settings can be calibrated to taste. I'd be interested to see if the difference in clarity can be adjusted with an extron rgb interface with a ddsp dip switch, termination switch and H shift pot.

my top shell just refuses to fit properly idk what to do

But what's the difference on a CRT?

Hi i was wondering how to mod a famicom controller to play on a nes console

diagrama for installation?

Should have put S video in this as well. Looks better than RGB tbh

This must be 50 hz....Castlevania sounds slower to me.

Well I already got one bub

I like the color clarity of RGB, but the pixel smoothing of composite better

ترجمة نص باستخدام الكاميرا Does the DS Lite screen fit on the DS XL?

Super Metroid might be one of the few games that benefits from RF. It fits the vibe.

How can I contact you please?

Great! what if the Nes Zapper runs on the Famicom? what needs to be changed?

If I wanted to mod my 1chip pal snes to play NTSC games only, would I simply wire pin 111 to ground? I use a flash cart with auto region switching, so I don't need to mess with the systems CIC chip.

I gotta go with the composite. We are used to HD displays with the sharp pixels, but on a real CRT that composite smooths the image as the designers intended. By the way, I just booted up Chrono Cross on a composite original SNES hooked to a CRT, and I am looking at my screen and then at your composite in the video... I think your test must be broken, because my composite looks like (if not even more vibrant then) your RGB... So anyone taking this video to heart, don't.

RGB = EMULATORS

can i play burned games on cds with this modchip?

Nice!

Gotta go with RF for that authentic retro nostalgic softness, and Component for the richer vibrant colours, better contrast, higher brightness and zero colour bleed. To this day, I still prefer playing NES games using RF on a 27" Sony Wega Trinitron over any of the other higher end cables. Composite just never looked right to me either. And i could never get on board with playing NES games in 1080p on an HDTV with the sprites looking razor sharp and square-y. it just makes the experience look artificial and lifeless. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, using RF on smaller 24" - 27" Tube TV's, with their below Standard def resolution, combined with the interlaced picture and softness from RF made NES games appear more organic and cartoon-like, which is how they were always intended to look in the first place. Heck, the Famicom which debuted in 83 didn't even receive composite until 1993 with it's console revision, AV famicom. Japan knew where it was at. lol

i gasped when you removed the bottom lool

RF can look much much better if you use a shielded cable or shield the cable yourself and put on some choke ferrite magnets

You forgot S-video, quality between composite and RGB, but still useful because is easy & cheap to pass modern HDMI output signal to S-Video.

on the top screen the screw is stripped, anyone have any ideas

RGB is definitely the winner in my book but you will get the best results on a CRT. Just make sure you buy a good quality cable

Man, it seems like you're defusing a bomb, wth. Now, I'm afraid to replace mine.

Good video. Thank you, what you try to show what different realy exist. And what important you show where people can to look at inside they console. I from Eastern Europe, so sorry for my poor English. I must admit, this difference between 1 or 2 chip is not critical, it very difficult to see even if you look very carefuly and have clue where to look. And when finally you recognaze, it difference not something what you say "Wow!", so I not understand all this discussions about "2chip vs 1chip" in internet. I think it absurdity, noise from nothing. Why I think so? Technically, all consoles have some difference from each other, dirrerent revisions or same console, or because of chip different or it number. I try to think about it from logic point of view. For example, exist PC models with 2 chips, and exist budget PC models on 1 chip (Intel Celeron) where 1 chip do job of 2 - he do it slow and bad, but in work and this PC is cheaper to produce and it cost less. I think SNES story with 2 chip which replaced by 1 chip is very same. I not understand how 1 chip can be better when 2? So It very fishily, what 1chip is not a "Ryzen7" right? 2 chips is more expensive, more chips - better result, I think. We talking about 16 bit console, and I think for this old technic number of chips is very important. Be other story with Dendy console (8 bit analog of Nes, which be made by TXC Corporation, Taiwan), in first revisions of "Dendy classic" used 2 chips, later it be recast for reduce prices. And 1chip Dendy be very close to previous model, but sound became worse. So, I not have so much assurance what 1 chip SNES is really better when 2chip models, it not looks logical. Thanks for attention.

Great video :> Btw how do you record rf video like that?

I feel like the RF looks the best in the sense that it kind of blurs things together. the crispness of the RGB is off putting for me. not to mention the game designers made these games with RF in mind, they used the blurring of CRT TVs as well to make transparency effects.

I like the rgb color but the smoother lines of the composite are better for these old games

RF = watching a movie in theater and seeing all the film grain.

Eu tenho um ódio muito grande dos caras enrolando o cabo com a mão cobrindo o flat. Essa é uma das piores partes, custa dar um jeito de filmar com calma?

RGB looks so much better, but I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather play NES on that fussy RF image just out of nostalgia 😂

I wish CRT shaders can do RF like that one in the video.

Unfortunately as a kid, I dropped my ds xl and half of the top screen is all blacked out. Now that I’m older, I want to try and get it repaired, but I know I could never do whatever the hell you just did in this video, and my ds has a custom skin I put on it as a kid, so taking off any plate on the inside of the console would be a no go for me.

Hello 👋🏽 question; I'd like to get this mod done on a 1 chip PAL. I was told if so, games aren't gonna run properly. Any truth to this?

Not a fair comparison since RGB is through an upscaler whereas Composite and RF are using blurry bilinear scaling. When they are both using sharper scaling, (Or on a CRT TV) the difference is still there, but it is significantly smaller. I would even make the bold claim that composite through an upscaler looks better than RGB through the TVs built in bilinear upscaling.
