Wait, what?  How did you get RGB out of an NES/Famicom?


As far as I know this guy was the originator of the RGB Mod:

Markus knows his stuff for the NES RGB Mod as it is one of the harder mods to do.

He modded my AV Famicom also. The RGB PPU I got from another guy. You can't just use any PPU - it has to be a specific one. The PPU alone cost me 80 Euro.

Does the Famicom Titler system suffer from this same changed palette?  


From the get go the Famicom Titler has no RGB out. But it has the right PPU built in to make the RGB mod. And when you have done the mod the colour palette will be the changed one.

I have an RGB-modded NES as well, and the second level of Castlevania is one of the few serious victims of the differing color palette, as it turns the maroon backgrounds into hot pink.  

It also makes Paperboy damned near impossible to play, as you can no longer see the road (including the gutters and storm drains).

Yeah a few games will suffer from changed colour palettes. On most games it's really slightly changed but there are some exceptions like Paperboy & Totally Rad. As far as I know The Immortal does not work at all.

By strange twist of fate, I have acquired a Car Marty.  I had to get creative with the PSU ( I modified a Gamecube power brick lol)!  and it's fully working, plays games without a hitch.  So I can finally play the 32-bit version of Shadow of the Beast (has boot issues with my FM Towns Fresh sadly).  Some people say this version is too "cartoony" because of all the pretty colors.  But I think it looks amazing personally, really smooth, and I like the extra cut-scenes.

Very cool Mr. Super D.  FM Towns is the one system I truly regret not owning, but it is quite pricey so I force myself to stay away.

Cool Car Marty!

I've always wanted to delve into the FM Towns but the expense really puts me off. :(

There's a cheap non-working one on eBay too, I thought about placing a bid but it looks like it will need some work to get going.

Really cool! Is it just me or does that version of Shadow look zoomed in?

Very nice! I've seen those units on eBay for stupid prices :P Any noteworthy differences compared to the more normal home computers, aside from the super compact casing?

It has a custom boot screen, and of course has anttenna connections since it's primary function is a GPS Navi device.  Other then that, it's basically a Marty with an external floppy drive.

Made some cool finds while garage sale hunting today. The Twilight Zone collection was sealed.
SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Goodwill:

Dragonball Z Budokai 1: PS2 $3.50
Dragonball Z Budokai 3: PS2 $3.50

Fable: The Lost Chapters: Xbox: $3.00
Simpson's Road Rage: Xbox: $3.00

Both Budokai games have heavy scratches, so I'm going to take them to a disc resurfacing joint to see if that helps (I don't have a ps2 to test at this very moment either)
