![]() ![]() If your N64 has a serial number that starts with NS2, you cannot mod it to output RGB If your N64 has a serial number that starts with NS1, you can mod it to output RGB Nintendo eventually changed the video chip on the N64 to one that did not natively output RGB so the mod is only possible on early N64s. In the US, the early N64s had a video chip on the motherboard that was capable of outputting RGB so all you have to do is connect the RGB outputs on this chip to the RGB spots on the video output terminal and you have an RGB capable N64. Not every N64 is capable of outputting an RGB signal. LOTS of info on the cables required can be found at You will need an RGB monitor and the appropriate cables in order to hook your system up to an RGB monitor. IMPORTANT! This mod restores RGB output to the N64 A/V Out. If you are interested in more of the technical aspects of RGB or if you would like to see some screenshot comparisons, I strongly recommend you check out The information for Green is not sent because it can be determined with the blue, red, and luma signals.Īn RGB signal carries the Red, Green, Blue and Sync data on four separate cables. Pr (Green cable) carries the difference between red and luma (R-Y) Pb (Blue cable) carries the difference between blue and luma (B-Y) Y (Red cable) carries luma (luminance/brightness) and sync (synchronization) signals While component video cables are Red, Blue, and Green in color, they still send combined signals over the same cable which results in a slightly lower quality picture. The folks who use composite and S-Video are on the right track, they want a higher quality picture, but RGB is better.Ĭomponent video is not RGB. The people who prefer hooking their consoles up via RF do so for nostalgia, not image quality. RGB is the holy grail of display formats for retro video games. ![]()
