/vr/ - Retro Games

untouchable

I just read in Wikipedia that the color space of the NES/Famicom is in YPbPr rather than the usual RGB, which is why the RGB mod kit for the NES/Famicom requires some extra parts and work compared to most other RGB mods for other consoles.

Now, is a Component YPbPr mod for the NES/Famicom possible for having better colors?
If it is possible, maybe a Component YPbPr mod for the NES/Famicom would yield better results and have better colors compared to an RGB mod, since RGB mods require emulator color palettes to convert the YPbPr color palette to RGB, and the NES/Famicom's native color palette is in YPbPr.
We might have the best of both worlds in our hands when we have a Component YPbPr mod for the NES/Famicom; the more accurate colors of Composite (albeit in better quality) with no need for emulator color palettes along with the better sharpness and clarity of RGB.

Has anyone attempted to make a Component YPbPr mod for the NES/Famicom which takes the NES/Famicom's color palette as is but outputs it in a better quality than Composite/RF?

>inb4 Tim Worthington's NESRGB mod has a Component YPbPr option
The NESRGB's Component YPbPr output literally takes the RGB emulator color palettes and converts is to Component YPbPr, it doesn't use the console's native YPbPr color palette.

I may be wrong and I may not understand how this works so please explain this to me.
Sorry in advance if I am wrong.

Famicom Disk System

So, I've been hunting for a original model Famicom on eBay and I've been seeing these composite modded consoles being sold there, since the original Famicom only supports RF, I found this interesting.

Unfortunately, they only support regular composite cables and I haven't seen which
has the Nintendo Multi-AV Out let alone S-Video or RGB.

Now, my question is, are there any original model Famicom mods with the Nintendo Multi-AV Out and RGB support?

I am looking for one so I can use an SNES HD Retrovision component cable on an original Famicom.

>inb4 look for an NES, you weeb
I prefer the design on the Famicom and I can use an Everdrive anyways to play in English if I wanted to. Also, all NESes only support composite or RF without mods, and if I need mods, I can just go for a Famicom instead.

>inb4 go for the AV Famicom
The microphone is needed for the Japanese versions of games like Kid Icarus, Zelda I and Takeshi no Chousenjou. And the AV Famicom doesn't have the microphone on Player 2. Also, the appearance of the original Famicom is more classic.

Again, I need component cables for it to work on my CRT which only supports composite, S-Video and component..

Buy a glorious Famicom and throw your gaijin console in the trash.

Pic semi related, don't buy a disk system. Do pick up the RAM adapter from an FDS if you find one loose, then buy an FDS Stick online for like $12.

What the hell /vr/? Do people not like the original famicom? Look at this sexy beast sporting a royal white and red combo with sexy gold highlights. Compact size, an eject button, a futuristic disk system, FM sound, I mean is this thing gorgeous or what? Famicom carts themselves still look good out of the principle of there being no homogeneous gray box they had to fill a la NOA. Maybe a little more on the toy side, but far from the over industrial VCR look the NES went for. Clear winner of 8-bit design right here.

>old console peripheral
>plug it in
>it adds an extra channel to the music to make it sound better

did this actually exist?
pic related, it's the FDS, which i know adds an extra channel. the one i'm thinking of had the music feature as its sole acclaim.
or am i just making shit up in my head

How the hell do I get my hands on a Famicom and Famicom Disk System (with AC adapter preferably)?

Is eBay my only route? 99% of the consoles are from Japan so shipping is at least $50 every time.


Not much on my Craigslist unfortunately...

Okay guys, need your expertise here.

I just acquired a Famicom Disk System and want to know the easiest way to copy new games to disks.

I am finally getting one of these. I don't have any stupid questions to ask. I am going to have my wife yell into the mic to kill Pols Voice. I am going to play SMB 2 the right way after waiting 24 years after seeing it in Mario Mania. I'll play every Mega Man game without having to spend 400 million dollars.

Everything is finally going to be OK.

Where I van buy a famicom at a reasonable price?
