I bought a clear black Nintendo64 a few weeks ago. I'd like to make an RGB mod. Unfortunately my unit has a different pcb layout than the unit shown on gamesx.com (the site where you can find the rgbmod tutorial). My unit has a chip called MAV-NUS RS5C382 and not a VDC-NUS xxxxxxx. I don't know where to solder the 3 cables because the MAV-NUS has more pins than the VDC-NUS :shrug: maybe someone could help me, please
Only the VDC-NUS chip outputs RGB. The MAV-NUS chip, and also the DENC-NUS chip used in most PAL N64s, do not. There are no known ways to RGB mod your Nintendo 64 :-( ConsoleFun
There is no Game in the UK...I have always wanted to say that. Then again there might be no games but the is certainly gays :lol: I am just kinding on that one but still you should invest in a US model or Japanese Model systems. What I wonder fi you could ever get the Blood in Evangelion to be red instead of Blue.
it's a NTSC U/C unit. So I have to find another one with the VDC-NUS. I did some research and it seems that only the early N64 models have the VDC-NUS. What a pity :-(
I believe the following N64 models should have the VDC-NUS chip. I have no experience with U/C-models. NTSC: NUS-001(JPN) with serialnumber NUJ11xxxxxx. PAL: NUS-001(FRA) with serialnumber NUP11xxxxxx (hint: ebay.fr). ConsoleFun
Have you tried to contact www.wolfsoft.de? They used to sell a RGB mod, which AFAIUI actually was a replacement DAC, for PAL N64 units (DENC-NUS). According to this thread it works on U/C units too: http://nfggames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=714 Would be interesting to know if they still have it in stock, or would be willing to share some info CF
Yes, that would be interesting. The N64 RGB service is still available: http://www.wolfsoft.de/shop/product...-n64-pal-auf-rgb-incl.-rgb-booster-kabel.html But I think it's cheaper to get an old black N64.
If you like the clear black case and want to use it as your main N64 unit that outputs RGB signal, then why not buy a US or JP n64 console that has the right chip and transplant the motherboard to and from the cases.
Have you found a black VDC-NUS N64 yet? I got two US N64s the other day. Serial NS1064xxxxx: VDC-NUS Serial NS1240xxxxx: MAV-NUS :-( BTW: Overclocking the NS1064xxxxx CPU from 1.5x to 2.0x seems to work too. CF
The clear models are better suited to overclocking, the earlier ones can output RGB. So even though you probably wont be able to get RGB, you can mod it in other (probably more useful) ways
Hi! Just wondering - Can you back this up with facts? The CPU runs at 1.5x by default. My experience is that you can overclock all models to 2.0x and none of them to 3.0x. You can run a black model on 2.0x for hours without it getting hot (same experience as gamesx.com). So why is the clear model better? My experience is also that overclocking does not help much (again - same experience as gamesx.com). Except for maybe Perfect Dark, which other games can make use of this? I would say a RGB-mod is definitely more useful than an overclocking-mod in a N64. Not getting RGB from a digital source is just not right CF
Well the clear model has some revisions that allow it to handle the increased multiplyer and voltage without creating quite as much heat. It's not a huge difference, and you can achieve the same effects on both models, but it's less likly to require something like an added fan or thermal paste. Then again, this is more of a "what i've heard" then a "from my experience" sort of thing. As for what can take advantage of this asside from Perfect Dark, alot of people seem to like touting how much smoother it makes Goldeneye Multiplayer run.
