« on: January 22, 2012, 02:46:25 PM »
I have an NES2, and want it RGB modded.

I hate every other forum.  Does anyone here do it? :)

IIRC, it isn't possible. Not unless you have a Famicom Titler to sacrifice; the video chip on every other NES/FC puts out only composite.

well, here's the more important question then:  If I run an NES's composite out into an XRGB is it going to look like total dick? lol

You can also steal the chip from a Playchoice 10.

And yes, it will look like f*cking shit on a XRB through composite.

There are probably some clones than have a usable RGB signal...maybe?

Nah, unfortunately there are no known clones that output RGB.

Pretty much all the clones are using the NES-On-A-Chip architecture and the end result is that they are limited to composite out.

The Playchoice 10 is the only NES variation I'm aware of that can do RGB out.

can a regular toaster NES do it?  I've got that too.. the only probrem is I can't shove my converter in that stupid thing so I can't play any FC games on it.

I don't believe it can and properly output the video from the PPU. You can produce RGB video out from a toaster, but you're not getting better video.

Here's an example of a mod that outputs RGB from a toaster, but also screws up the color. http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1592.0

Assuming your 55 inch LED has composite, composite is your best bet.

So, looks like composite through the XRGB is how Ima roll.

It'll look like crap, but oh well.  lol

It can't be done!
As already stated by others, only a FC titler or playchoice 10 chipset can make the NES/FC output real RGB.
Still if you get hands on a real rare and expensive titler, would you really sacrifice it for a lumpy NES2? Rather than very easy mod it to RGB itself and ues it that way?

Yes, but the thing is I already have an NES2 and a toaster, lol.  I'm lookin for as cheap as possible here.  Maybe I will just AV mod the NES2 and see just how bad the composite is. lol

I'd just hook up a Mac Mini or a Dreamcast or something else than can run a NES emu to the TV and pretend it was a NES.
