There's an HDMI output mod that's in the works (although there hasn't been much news on it since it was first made public)... So I would suggest not spending the $ on the RGB mod.

I suppose HDMI won't really be worth it considering the NES was meant to be played on a CRT. ;) Especially as the best HDMI converter can't crank up the
true resolution of the original hardware it will still look odd. For me true RGB on a really good CRT is the pinnacle of NES playment! ;D

Based on what little images they've put out of the thing, the HDMI mod has pixel perfect output.
Actually, now that I look into it there are a couple projects people have in the works that'll make the RGB mod more reasonable, since they bypass the need to harvest a PPU from an arcade machine. One, like the HDMI mod, is grabbing the signals from the PPU and dealing with them itself and the other is a universal PPU for all NES hardware (including the arcades). And since they aren't using the arcade PPU, you don't end up with a wonky color palette.

That custom made PPU sounds really promising. Now the question remains if the price will be really reasonable. :)
kittybones26:
Working model 1 Sega Genesis with 21 games.
30 bucks.
Pretty excited about both of the Toe Jam and Earl games that are complete and the copy of Castlevania Bloodlines.
Was a local craigslist post.
FritzWhite:
Nice Genesis score. I see that Castlevania in there.
