Before anyone says "who is this guy with one post count starting a thread?" I can assure you I am not exactly asking anyone to do the research for me. I am simply coming here for help since my mind is spinning after reading up on all this.
I want my front-loading US NES to display RGB. I modded my Snes mini to do RGB and the result was fantastic. I don't think I can go back to composite ever again.
I have been reading up on the subject a lot, so I went and bought a VS Tennis board, which is supposed to have the proper PPU on it. However, mine has 3 chips on it, all appear to be game data; none PPU. I could be wrong, but it basically looks like every other PlayChoice game board I could find. This confuses me.
Being the impatient person that I am, I ordered a PlayChoice 10 motherboard, guaranteeing I will be playing NES the way it should be in no time.
However, after doing a lot of research, I have found just swapping the PPU isn't enough. Apparently there is another board I am supposed to put in my NES as well? I don't know if it's to adjust brightness (I thought resistors would do that?) or to help curtail any picture noise or ugly borders or anything, but any info on that would be helpful.
I am only moderate when it comes to soldering. I've soldered the RGB, composite sync and s-video lines on my SNES Mini, but that's about it. Is this something I should even bother doing myself?
I am also reading that I need to do a mod to the RetroPak to allow it to display RGB. Can someone elaborate on this a bit? Is it a physical mod or is it just changing the files on the CF card?
Anyone who can help...major thanks!
