Hey there! I have just finished a RGB Mod on a Japanese N64. Here is the turtorial I followed: http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/ntsc-nintendo-64-rgb/ However, I only get Composite Video, and no RGB. I'm not sure, whether it is because of the Mod itself, or the scart cable I am using? I have tried to remove the composite connection, from scart. It just gave me black screen, with sound. So I'm pretty confused. I have uploaded a couple of pictures, of the mod below. Thank you!! - Madsmaten.
Pin 16 getting the voltage to tell it to output RGB mode not composite? http://www.bacman.co.uk/home/scart/
No. The SCART needs 1-3v on pin 16 to switch to RGB mode otherwise you'll only get composite. The SCART also can switch between 4:3 and widescreen by a different voltage as per link I gave before. BTW, only resistor you need on your wires is 38ohm on the composite/C-Sync line not on the RGB ones.
Here is what I did (Or tried to). I have basically just tried to build the Gamecube Scart cable. However I can't figure out how that bloody risistor needs to fit (Link: http://members.optushome.com.au/eviltim/gamescart/gamescart.htm#snes ). I know it's wrong in the picture Total Noob here, so sorry!
Only 1 resistor needed, a 38ohm one, connect one end to the composite pin and other to ground, that's it. What that does is make the picture image darker, as should be, not washed out.
ok for these mods its best to use a game cube scart i allways use consolegoods.co.uk he does great cables.
Just so I am sure. I can use this one right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161132911678?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Apperantly 38Ohm resistors aren't the most common, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask Thank you, for your very nice help Bacteria!
