You want the one chip so you can see the games, if you’re stuck with a 2-chip a RUclipsr by the name of Voultar has a mod you can do to get a clear picture.

I know this is all subjective, but the RGB won in every instance from what I could see. Yeah, it looks more saturated than the others, but that's how colorful I remember it being from my childhood, so I'm totally fine with that.

Man, these test are amazing! Over the years I tend to prefer composite for the blending, and all those effects.

Well Metroid is a port, the game is the Japanese release, that’s the one you want to play if you have access to it as there are other differences besides the sound that make the North American release inferior.

I have ver5 board ch-015 but I can't find drawings for the ch connection

RGB look too cartoony and sterile. It'd prefer composite. The problem with RF back in the day was a lot of interference from all around. The image would always have way more artifacts and noise and other junk than what you have here.

Great!

4:25 why Frog's head turns red ? poor guy.... he must ate pepper

I love seeing these decomp videos

The nes output is due to when it was designed, by the mid 80s companies started releasing consoles with a dedicated pallet, if you want a clear picture you just have to pull the pallet out of the system before information is lost. Thankfully we have the arcade palette for the nes which gives us one that they used at the time.

Im using svideo on a wega kd-fs120 it looks kinda the same as your rgb, no washed out color, very saturated, are you using nintendo cables? or maybe those cables which combine composite and svideo on the same? those dont provide real svideo quality

Same problems with the reshell. I ended up using the back shell and the original shouldber buttons. I swear the quality of reshells wasn't this bad, almost 8 years ago. Makes it harder to refurbish these consoles.

Are you UK based? If so, can I please have some gaming stuff fixed? Thanks

it is real cartridge you can check sonic 2 have same variant of it ,they did that to cut production cost, you forgot to test the 2 capacitors above maybe they blowup have a good one

Here is what happened to that game. Someone bought or had a fake repro on their hands and swapped the good PCB into the fake case. They list them online as having a "Real PCB but replacement shell." Then they sell the other one on a different platform outside of Amazon or eBay where there is zero accountability for sellers. If he got it on Amazon or eBay he can get his money back. However, this being the fake that was swapped into the legit / used case, I have a feeling he did not get it from a platform that will allow returns. They put them online with all the scuffs scratches and imperfections and it instantly makes you think that its a older / non-repro, legit game. Shit is slimeball as fawk and I wish people would cut it out and stop ripping people off. Not saying this has anything to do with the guy you got it from. He could have had NO idea it was fake and bought it just because it looked legit. My buddy owns a shop at a local flea market and I went to help him check his games and over 35% of them were fake repro carts and he had absolutely no idea. OFC he pulled them from his inventory and will probably sell them off as a lot. All of the fake games were traded in by local collectors.

Depending exactly what they used, sometimes you can eat through the goop on the chips with isopropyl alcohol. But yeah something about that PCB looks more modern than it should to me so it'd be interesting to see what the chips actually are. I suspect they're off the shelf programmable ROMs of some kind.

Its real fake😅

Does an extremerate shell count as aftermarket?

To me, composite is king. None of the artifacts of RF, but hides the pixelatedness that RGB highlights. Best of both worlds imo.

Nice job!

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

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?
