PAL RGB Nintendo 64
tiktektak:
This mod is truly better done by a real pro. Especially the PAL RGB mod of a N64 is a pretty iffy.
Make also sure to get a special RGB booster cable made because my N64 looked like shit rgb modded but after I also used the bosster cable it looked vibrant and astonishing!

Oh I will get it professionally done. ;D
I can't solder at all, and I'm way too impatient and clumsy to even try this.
And I thought that the extra pieces that are soldered to the board in those instructions make the booster cable not needed.

Maybe it depends on the console itself. I saw some people who didn't need the booster cable but as I said my picture quality made a 100% leap forward when I got the additional booster cable.
Afaik all rgb mods are primarly done the same way on the n64, only the spots you take the channels(R/G/B/sync/mass) from differ.

Yeah, but the method of RGBing PAL N64 seem totally different to US one.
We'll see when when I get this done.
I have SNES RGB scart and NGC RGB scart some where, I'll check if either one works natively.
AppleQueso:
Doing the RGB mod on a US system isn't really too hard at all. I've done it before. That PAL one looks tricky, with the SMD components and whatnot. I wouldn't attempt it myself.
Have you ever seen the mod to do RGB on a later model US N64? It's completely insane. You're basically building a DAC from scratch to stick inside the thing.
