Professional Tim Worthington NESRGB installation service for your NES/Famicom. Repairs not included, send in a working console!
Safely pack and ship your system to me, and after the work is done I will ship it back (return shipping is included). Price includes purchase of the NESRGB board and capacitors. You do not need to provide anything other than your console.
Send in your console and I will do the following work:
- NESRGB version 4.3, by Tim Worthington installed.
- All capacitors replaced with high quality, long lasting polymer and ceramic capacitors that will not leak.
- 72/60 Pin Connector thoroughly cleaned to ensure easy game loading.
--THE FOLLOWING WORK DONE ON FRONT LOADER NES ONLY--
- A custom SNES Multi-AV out plug installed that outputs RGB, S-Video, Composite and Audio. NOTE: This will replace your console's power module with one that I have made and a small piece of the original case will be removed to make room for the SNES-style AV connector. This makes the console no longer original and cannot be reverted easily. If you do not want this let me know.
- Expansion audio for Everdrive and other flash carts enabled using Firebrandx’s NESRGB audio mix with Voultar's Component Board.
- CIC Disabled via Two-Wire method.
- RF modulator completely removed to make room for the SNES Multi-AV plug. This cleans up a fair bit of noise the RF converter produced.
- (Optional) A new Green/Blue/Orange/Red LED installed to replace the stock red LED.
-- THE FOLLOWING WORK DONE ON ORIGINAL FAMICOM ONLY --
- An 8-pin AV connector (like the kind used for Genesis Model 2) will be installed as this is what comes with the NESRGB kit and does not require any modifications to the shell of the console.
-- NOTES ABOUT TOP LOADER FAMICOM AV / NES TOP LOADER --
Since this model already has the SNES style AV multi-out port, the NESRGB install will simply tie into that connector. No new connectors or shell modifications need to be done.
For all installs, the console will be tested and verified working and ready for gaming. See photos for example of work that will be done.
This does not come with cables and converters for getting RGB output, you will need to get those separately. I recommend one of the following setups (from easiest to most complex):
- Rad2x Cable for your system (gives you HDMI output in a single cable).
- Component Cable for your system + Upscaler. This lets you use the upscaler for multiple systems and has more options.
- RGB SCART cable + RGB SCART to Component Converter + Upscaler. This is the most versatile option as you can use this setup with any system and a SCART cable.
Here are the upscalers I recommend (if you're not going to use a Rad2x cable):
- RetroTinx 2x/2x-Pro/5x/4k. NOTE: The 5x and 4k can take SCART directly, so you wouldn't need a SCART to Component converter.
- Open Source Scan Converter (OSSC).
- GBSC Upscaler.
And RGB to Component converters (if you're going to use SCART instead of component for your system):
- RetroTink RGB2COMP.
- Shinybow SB-2840 SCART-RGB to Component.
- RGBS/VGA to YPBPR (Various brands/Unbranded/Bitfunx).
