Nessionator, the NESRGB mod output board
- Why - Description - Schematics - Install - Pics and final result
In order to preserve the Nintendo Entertainment System some actions are required like the recapping of the components cleaning, etc..., one way to ensure compatibility with modern TVs and improve the image as well is by installing the Tim Worthington's NESRGB board, which interfaces between the PPU and a CPLD to convert digital into analog signals with multiple palettes.
