Super Committee vote for this. Although I don’t know how anyone could stand losing Castlevania 3…
First off: thank you for your response, I always admired tou for your threads and products
Any particular model you’d recommend? There’s so many of them! Are they all the same? Do any take official controllers?
Also… Pocketbook?
I’ve never done it before, so I can’t make any recommendations. You could probably find all sorts of info about it on the benheck forums, since famiclones are almost always the heart of portable NES mods.
By ‘pocketbook’ I mean wallet/money. Famiclones are cheap and plentiful. A mistake that destroys one is no big loss. A mistake that destroys the PPU from a PC-10 arcade machine is a serious loss of lots of money.
Less money gone if mess up the Famiclone Mod.
Could always buy a Famicom Titler and mod it (easy) for RGB. They do S-Video out of the box with no mods too.
Of course the going rate for them these days is pretty damn high, but still…
edit: I thought I’d read before that the famiclone chip still natively outputs composite video? Does it generate RGB in any sort of accessible way? Never heard of this.
I’m gonna write in emulation now but the method to get an actual console up and running still needs a more definitive direction.Which basically translates to: I’m gonna Google it a lot and if you wanna help I’m more than open to take the advice.
Just updated with all this info. Good stuff. I’m hype.
Famiclones can be modded for RGB?! News to me. KRIKzz is considering NES emulation support for the upcoming ‘Mega Everdrive’ flash cart.
You should take a crack at cloning the playchoice RGB chip, toodles :0
I mean no disrespect to Toodles but I think he’s incorrect. I googled around to see if anything new popped up in the last few years since I checked, but famiclones still output composite. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though (and pointed to a place to buy such a famiclone if it’s a specific one).
If you’re really desperate for RGB from a NES you can get a French NES which outputs in RGB…which is derived from the Composite signal, so it looks exactly the same as Composite lol.
My bad on the misinformation, I was mistaken.
The PPU? Aw hell no…get someone like my geekcrush Jeri Elsworth to do it like she did the C64 stuff. That’s way outta my pay grade.
Wow, this is too much for just the NES. I never thought Nintendo systems would be troublesome, they were so reliable until this thing came up.
I’m gonna nix famiclone as an option and just say to emulate through a console/PC or use composite. But hey! 1 system won’t do it! Just ONE! That’s much better than I expected.
Still looking for actual people here who would be willing to take some people’s money and N64s, do some work on it and send it back.
DanAdamKOF: I was doing some searches on Neo Geo consoles and I read your FAQ on Neo-Geo.com! Good stuff! Too bad there’s nothing all that special (in my uneducated opinion) for the system and man is it a cool system. Those carts are HUGE!

You sir have just earned the ire of a considerable portion of this forum.
Thanks 
That FAQ is really outdated lol, I wrote that in 2003 because newbs kept joining the forum and asking the same questions over and over… literally a FAQ.
The Famicom Titler is so expensive, I did some googling here’s one that’s $1000 + shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CONSOLE-SHARP-FAMICOM-TITLER-AN-510-NEW-JAP-NUOVA-/380119386045
If you love authentic hardware, especially enough to not decommission an arcade board for a PPU swap, that’s your best option.
I’ll overlook your dismissal of the NeoGeo since I like your curiosity… do me a favor some time, put about 30 minutes into playing Neo Turf Masters (emulate it, I don’t care), and if the fact that even a (normally boring on other consoles) golf game on the Neo still kicks ass doesn’t impress you, then I guess nothing will.
I’m sorry, it’s just… most of the good games have accurate ports on the other consoles for a hell of a lot cheaper. You’d have to be like ULTRA hardcore to put down that kinda cash.
Toodles, the NES is simple enough, why doesn’t somebody make a straight up hardware clone for processing, but use a RGB enabled PPU?
I’ve torn a nes open to clean out the cartridge slot, and it literally only has a few IC’s and stuff in there. Couldn’t it be exactly cloned fairly easily?
I’ve seen DIY apple II kits, isn’t a DIY NES kit within reach?
Also, the most well emulated system is the SNES, due to BSNES, the low level hardware emulator that requires a dual core to run.
No one’s managed to reverse-engineer the Playchoice 10 PPU. It’s a custom chip.
Well emulated, or accurately emulated? BSNES is what I use to bring my i7 to its knees. 
(yes, I know it’s because he’s actually emulating aspects others take shortcuts on)
On the flipside a 486 can run ZSNES
What is sad is that I have one of these running over component with Xbox Magic Boxes and new Saturn pads. I still prefer real hardware. It’s good for testing games though.
Bunnyboy to the rescue.
$400 also makes me sad and agree with “Genesis does.” I have some stupid rare NES games though. Meh.
I don’t know a modern system that can’t emulate NES. I can emulate the NES on my Dreamcast, PSP, Android Phone, The first of the 2 Legend of Zelda Collectors Disks for the Game Cube have ports of the first 2 zelda games from the NES. I am sure if I look hard enough I can find a Microwave that could run a NES emulator
a Vectrex RetroPort. FUCK YEAH
