Anyone here following the N64 HDMI mod? It looks very interesting indeed.
Even the PCB looks sexy :0)

Is it possible to buy an NTSC N64 and play PAL games on it in 60hz with an import adapter?
Yes it works for some games but the vast majority have timing issues or just plain glitch out. Most of the big releases were somewhat PAL optimised although not very well and therefore cause all sorts of problems.

I see there's RGB mods now for the NES. Must look into getting one although on the flip side most of the sunsoft games were made with composite in mind and actually look worse in a higher image quality.

No, you misunderstand.
I know all the advantages of an NTSC N64, the speed and so on.
What I was wondering is, why am I so comfortable with seeing the back of most of my N64 carts, with the exception of a few, to be replaced with an Everdrive, whilst I wouldn't see any of my Megadrive games sold at all, in spite of being able to play them on the Everdrive MD I already own.
I don't know why my heart is with the MD but not the N64 in quite the same way.
Sure only you can answer that
There's a lot less on the N64 to endear it to people than the Megadrive has, that's for sure. 0 -

****e, had a feeling that might be the way. Like the Snes timing issue problem but even worse.Retr0gamer wrote: »I see there's RGB mods now for the NES.

Isn't that the one that actually emulates part of the NES?
I'd love RGB out on a NES/Famicom but don't want any dirty emulation near my consoles

I think it replaces the whole ppu unit with another. The PPU just turns the signal from the main processors into a composite video signal. The entire PPU is replaced with a processor that out puts in RGB but the game logic isn't touched.

Got my 9" Sony PVM tonight. All seemed well until I had a good look at it and noticed the front bezel is cracked and the back metal corners crushed in a bit.
Rang the seller and he said its mine now and that's just that! No refund or part refund or apology or anything.
Not a great feeling I must say
No cables to test it out yet but I'd say it works, just not as advertised.0 -

I had a look at the ad on adverts and you can actually see the crushed corner on the back right.
Can't see anything wrong with the bezel though. Where's the crack?
The crack is where it says trinitron. Yeah its my own fault to a certain extent which is why I'm angry about it. But the guy was such an douchebag about it.

Not a chance you'd see that crack in the ad photo!
'Case has been on it from new and so protected the monitor...In good condition, full working order, I have had it some time, part of my personal kit, so not overly used or abused!'
To be honest I'd have bought that without noticing the crushed corner too. Actually I'd looked at that ad previously and not noticed it at all. From what he said you'd be expecting something with maybe a couple of scuffs and that's it. Especially from the bit about it being in the case from new.
Anyway, fingers crossed it powers on without issue and you've a lovely little monitor to add to the collection 0 -

Todays get is my own lickle minature bartop, the iCade core:
Was going to take a closeup pic of dem scanlines but my camera decided to die just as i was about to do it!
Its the closest thing i'll have to a bartop until i have place or my own. Managed to get a complete mame 0.139u1 Romset today 23GBs in size which is the version of mame, mame4iOS uses. A whole world of difference between mame4all's 0.37 version. I dumped all the rom chips myself from my complete arcade cabinet collection of course!
Finally heres the mystery gift the seller sent me to compensate for me realising i could have bought it new for the same price on amazon:
Nice gesture i thought!
Absolutely love the iCade, spent the whole evening blasting away at those addictive arcade titles!0 -
Well, cracks and bumps aside the screen works well(I'll fix up the bumps and cracked plastic anyway). I thought i didn't have any cables but it has SVideo on the back so I hooked up my N64 for a test run. Even over svideo it looks pretty good, cant wait to try the proper cables for some scart RGB goodness.
Incidentally, the sound output is not bad at all on the PVM.
Click for full size version(iPhone pic only so not great):

It actually looks a bit funky in the iPhone pics, but is better in person. I miss my DSLR camera
New DSLR incoming in the next month or so, my old one got robbed while in Morocco.
Edit:
Whats the deal with N64 svideo cables? I've had this one for years and the quality seems decent. But I thought there was some issue with svideo from the PAL N64!!??
Edit 2:
By the way, the monitor is much lighter than you might think. I guess with two batteries installed it would weigh a bit but as is its easy to pick up and bring around the house(wouldn't be great on the dart though) 0 -
