I was thinking of adding RGB to my N64, but for PAL apparently it's somewhat of a messy ordeal. Not to mention requires parts that I don't already have available to me. Not that I'm "cheap", I just don't see any reason to buy anything since I think I already have everything I need to do a s-video mod instead. I have a s-video socket, and a wide range of resistors at my disposal. And to what I've learned this is all I need to add s-video to my N64. The only roadblock I've hit is that there seem to be a few conflicting methods to doing such a mod. Not to mention everything I found thus far is vague and I can't seem to find a reliable and clear guide on what points I should solder the wires. So, what I'm asking here is does anyone know, or have a reference I can use to successfully do this? I have two N64s: A Standard "grey" console: "NUS - CPU (P) - 01" A "Watermelon Red" console: "NUS - CPU (P) - 02" Weather that makes a difference, I don't know. But I sometimes know hardware variations can make-or-break these kinds of mods. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Edit: Never mind, I found something. For those interested, I used a combination of Wikipedias page on s-video (link) and the labelling of the N64s AV socket on the board. As for the resistors, they act as a semi-short between both the Y signal to ground, and the same for the C signal, to reduce the intensity of the signal. C----o-----------C -----[]-R1-------- G----o-----o----G ------------[]-R2- Y-----------o----Y C = Colour (Chrominance) G = Ground (common for both C & Y) Y = Intensity (Luminance) Most people used 75ohm resistors for both, but the closest I had was 68ohm. But, it still works. And it isn't too bright. In short, I no longer need this question answering, as I've done it. And it works fine.
75ohm is considered the standard load for video output. You could probably put in 100 ohm without too much trouble but I'd stick to 75 as much as possible.
