The NES: Getting the Best Video it Can Offer

Описание: Hope you enjoy the video! This isn't an easy mod or an inexpensive one, but as you can see, the upgrade in video is significant. I didn't show S-Video here, but it looks great as well, albeit with more noise in the line than RGB. To use SCART RGB cables, you'd need an XRGB-mini upscaler, or some similar upscaler capable of converting the signal to HDMI, and they aren't cheap, so most people would probably want to stick with S-video.

As of this video, this is where the various products you'd need to use this can be found:

NESRGB kit from US distributor (shop page says v1.2, but I received the newer v1.4):

retro_console_accessories CSYNC RGB Scart cable (often out of stock. Usually replenished in the morning. Check Monday mornings). You MUST add both the cable itself and the coaxial upgrade to your cart before checkout to get the coaxial cables shown in this video. You will want the upgrade to prevent noise in the line as NES is notorious for noisy signals:

Purple S-Video and Component Monster cables:
Check eBay. The S-Video cables are great, but they've shot up quite a bit in price in recent years and look like they sell for $75-100 now... Sorry. You don't need monster cables to capitalize on S-video, though. There might be some good alternatives out there if you do a little hunting.

USB Blaster:
Check eBay for a Rev. c blaster. They're very cheap. Just make sure it comes with a USB cable and ribbon cable.

FirebrandX's Color Palette project (in progress as of now):

JTAG adapter to be used with USB blaster, to update color profiles. I think you have to register to order it:

Game footage was upscaled using an XRGB-mini, recorded using an Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro + OBS Studio, and edited in Vegas Pro.

I think that's everything! Any questions? Ask in the comments.
