Post by: Duo_R on March 11, 2014, 07:05:55 AM: the order link says an adapter board can be included for that model, so I think yes. The original basic famicom is still not supported.

ahhh ok sorry for the dumb question i was using my phone and didn't see the other info. Hopefully these will continue to be made in the future. I know some of his older kits aren't available anymore.

It may be a decrease over that but I still can't justify $200+ for RGB on my NES right now :(

Keep me posted how the install goes. Are there step-by-step instructions for getting it wired up somewhere? It certainly looks beyond my skill set to do but never know :)

Post by: ApolloBoy on March 11, 2014, 06:41:27 PM: I have two of these, one in my Twin Fami and another in my NES top loader. They're f*cking awesome and I might start saving up for a third one (!) too.
