It's a "skeleton" Saturn. There was another version, pic related. It has the "This is Cool" text on it and the transparent case is a somewhat different color. It didn't come with a game.
The one I posted before without the text came with the game Derby Stallion. Both were limited edition and only available in Japan.

It's unfortunate that it happened again with MGS3D. It was supposed to be a well-done port, but by my understanding, Konami at some late point came in and told him to start over. The result was a really terrible port that was 100% wasted potential. About the only good Nintendo thing with Snake on it is Brawl, and even that is often considered for worst Smash Bros game. Add that to TTS and the NES games, and Nintendo has a very poor record for hosting Metal Gear. Must be a curse.

>Released during a period of close association between Sharp and Nintendo, the Famicom Titler followed the C1 NES TV and the Twin Famicom as the third of what would eventually be four products in the Sharp's Nintendo Console family of products. The Famicom Titler was the most technologically ambitious project that Sharp had attempted with the Famicom system. It was the only commercially available Famicom to internally generate RGB video, and this has been identified as responsible for markedly improved clarity of image over other Famicom models.[1] It is the only Famicom console to employ S-Video output.[2] It also features a keyboard and pressure-sensitive touchscreen[4] that enables users to produce subtitles directly on the screen during gameplay, and to thereby create demos.[3]
Technical specifications

>In order to create to S-video output, Nintendo's RP2C02 PPU was replaced by an RGB-output-compatible "RC2C05-99" PPU. Here, RGB video signals generated within the composite outputs were converted to the external S-video signals. At the rear of the Titler's body, RCA composite-pin video outputs and mono audio outputs were located, and peripheral devices could connect only when the video and audio outputs to the associated TV also employed RF connectors and S-Video. This allowed gamers to enjoy a crisper image.

I guess it generates RGB but needs to be modified to output it. I think if it were to be modded to output RGB it would look better than a modded Famicom/NES.

Sony wanted to use their massive pre-existing CD pressing capacity to publish games significantly faster, in smaller batches and at lower prices and that's exactly what they did. Nintendo didn't like the idea because it would smash their draconian seal of quality/lockout chip royalty generating bullshit and it did.

The Playstation was the most revolutionary video game console ever and its absolute dominance didn't hurt a thing. PS2 sort of coasted on PS1's laurels plus the backward compatibility and DVD player. It wasn't really until the 7th gen that SCE fully turned into just another corporate profit-mill.

The problem is that Konami loves to half-ass shit, especially Metal Gear. After all, it is cheaper to make poor games that fail to sell than it is to make good games that sell reasonably well. Part of the curse is the fact that Nintendo home consoles, since the dawn of the PlayStation, have been nothing more than barren wastelands of Mario spinoffs and people never buy anything aside from Mario, Zelda, or Smash. Their handhelds fare moderately better, but MGS is not a game you fucking play on the go.

You could certainly modify an FDS to plug into a Titler. That would be the best way to do it. The Titler actually has tons of additional features not found in Famicoms. Pulling the PPU out a PlayChoice-10 is arguably less of a sin but it's a damn shame to scrap a whole PC10 just for that one chip.

There are absolutely funky video encoding tricks that were used back then specifically because of how they knew that composite would display them. NES games were never intended to be played via RGB at any point in their development so there was no reason for the programmers to take it into consideration. That's why there's a difference in that pic you posted. Additionally, there are some color differences between PC10 and NES as are highlighted in the palettes that you can swap in a lot of emulators (the infamous purple Soda Polinsky pic) but when viewed on a CRT, with analog adjustments the difference is really just a matter of tuning. The Titler even has analog adjustments internally.. But stuff like composite artifact colors will not display correctly over RGB. That's just how it is. Happily, they weren't used that much in NES games to my knowledge.

That pic I posted is of just a plain composite Famicom vs Titler. As I said, I'm relatively sure the output will be the same between an NESRGB and a Titler, with the exception that the Titler has its own adjustments to things like color balance and intensity which might push it past the NESRGB depending on your eye and/or your willingness to spend $1000+ on a fucking Famicom and tune its colors for every single different game you wanted to play etc...

You'd think that the colors are off in the same way for each game though. It'd be like calibrating a monitor. My understanding is that it's like it's using a different colorspace so this is causing each game to have its colors skewed a certain way if the difference between RGB and composite color is not somehow compensated by adjustments made somewhere along the line.

See, the thing is that it's all relative. How was the image we might view captured? Did someone pipe it into two identical PVMs sitting beside one another and then spend real time tuning them to precisely match an official Nintendo Famicom color-reference card which we'll assume has remained unfaded for 20 years plus - if such a thing even existed to start with? If not, it's just a matter of the end user's personal taste and ability to tune his equipment.

On the other hand, if the signal is being captured directly from the hardware via an RGB capture card, the Titler will have an advantage because it has more internal adjustments, so you'd either have to declare it the winner, or try to pretend its in "factory original settings" or do post-processing on the capture which is obviously cheating right?

Bottom line, don't let the existence of the Titler keep you from getting an NESRGB based on quality alone, just like the 1CHIP SNES vs modded Jr argument I constantly have to have on here. The only reason to get a Titler over an NESRGB is if owning a big, fat, rare, authentic, powerful piece of video game history is worth $1000 more to you - more if pre-modded.

I can confirm it. See all dem monitors back there? But rest assured that the final product was considered to be the display over composite (the monitor they're pointing at).

Remember, that upscaler will have color adjustment settings in it too. I'm trying to tell you that the difference is literally academic. You're doggedly insisting on wanting to "see for yourself" even though the NESRGB is only a few months old.

I'm just curious about the different ways to methods to obtain RGB from a Famicom. Also, this was from 2010, but a good condition in-box Famicom Titler sold for $400 here

I'm sure you could get a decent deal on one if you looked around. They're just rare. Especially if you poked around on various Japanese sites and had some sort of proxy service buy and ship them to you.

Also, you talked about the PC10's PPU and I've seen just that, stripped from a PC10 available for sale online.

Yeah a PC10 PPU used to be worth over $100 all by itself for this very reason but now with NESRGB I'm sure the values are going down. I'd like to get one for my top loader. I'm NOT going to get a Titler, unless the fates deliver one unto me at a yard sale or thrift store. Fucker doesn't even have detachable controllers.

I've seen controller mods for it. It's probably a huge pain in the ass though.
>unless the fates deliver one unto me at a yard sale or thrift store.
Probably not going to happen unless you're in Japan. I'm betting that you could come across one there for relatively cheap (especially the ones without all the packaging and whatnot). I would guess it's still pretty rare there though.

So then what's your explanation for something like
>>1802108

The NES's resolution is on par with CGA, slightly higher vertical and lower horizontal plus a LOT more colors so it wouldn't be surprising if the use of composite artifact colors was limited enough to only be anecdotal just as these dramatic color differences like Anon posted seem to be.

I understand you could really get into the details for comparing them, but it just seems like such overkill. You could simply just look at both and decide for yourself which looks more appealing. with the same TV or upscaler settings or whatever.

And thanks a bunch for that pic. pretty much confirms that RGB nes / famicom is incorrect anyways.

It could just be displaying the palettes incorrectly.
I suppose they might have done something like make a sort of checkerboard or striped pattern with white and black to display a gray color that couldn't be displayed otherwise due to limited colors. And maybe composite displays this correctly as gray, whereas RGB doesn't make the same effect and it turns out black.

But then you're really just picking which settings you like better. The only real way to compare like that is for you to personally adjust both of them until they look as good to your tastes as they possibly can and then decide which of the two looks better (the difference would be negligible).

The classic thing that happens in these comparison pics is that whoever's taking the pics tune the settings using the signal/device they favor and then they plug the other one in using exactly the same settings and take their pic "See? Doesn't look as good". That's exactly what those 1CHIP vs MINI pics of that guy's SNES are like. He went to the hassle of modding his Mini so of course he's going to want it to look better.

Why would I be trolling you? What else would something called a "titler" do?

It has an edit mode where you can create various overlays, and then have it output them at the same time as the regular video from the unit. I'm pretty sure it also has video in, so you can actually use it to create overlays for external video sources as well.

Would it be possible to mod the PPU of the Titler itself so the variable resistors which control the color balance are controlled via knobs on the back of the console? That way you wouldn't have to open up the case each time you wanted to tweak the colors. I don't really understand this stuff but it seems possible.

Apparently the reason why the RGB NESs/Famicoms display some colors/games incorrectly is because of "color emphasis bits"

>"Just thought I'd mention a few things, mainly concerning the "inverted colors" on the PC10 boards, and the "inverting of the color emphasis bits". If the colors appear inverted on your PC10 board, it's because most of the old Nintendo arcade boards have a video amplifier that sends an inverted signal to a monitor that accepts inverted signals. But the PPU itself does not produce these inverted colors. I found a simple way to modify vs. boards to have non-inverted output, simply by adding 6 resistors (3 if you only intend to use it for a single monitor); I haven't tried this mod on a PC10 board, but I'd imagine it can be modded the same way.
>Now about the color emphasis bits - what they do on the RGB PPUs is they force the red, green, and/or blue channels to full brightness, affecting every color. The composite PPUs on the other hand add a weak red, green, and/or blue color to the screen and darken the luminance values of certain colors - except for colors xE and xF (these are unaffected). I've heard that some games use all 3 emphasis bits. While this simply darkens the picture on the composite PPU, it unfortunately makes the screen on an RGB PPU go solid white - not a good thing. This, along with some bad colors, especially 0B and 3B, are reasons why some people frown at the RGB PPU, but for most games I think it looks great.

I don't really understand this but it seems that the color discrepnsies can be at least somewhat made up for.

This may help clear it up. He's saying that those two greens (0B and 3B) aren't right on RGB and that there's a hardware trick that can be used to tint the whole screen one of the three colors on a composite PPU but on an RGB PPU they go full-brightness instead of just adding a tint which would be different but fine as long as only one (or maybe even two) get used since you'd still see the variance in the unused channel but if for some reason a game tries to use all three simultaneously for a gray tint, instead it would just max out all three channels and turn everything white (except for black/gray pixels, I guess - columns E and F)

The NES has some undocumented/unsupported colors in its palette that officially weren't supposed to be used, but a few games did use them, either because they were unlicensed games or because Nintendo's quality control let them slip through.

On an NTSC/PAL PPU the undocumented colors are additional shades of gray, darker than the standard grays (column D in >>1809049) but on an RGB PPU they're just black.

I have a modded Gamecube with a XenoGC chip and the Viper GC case, but I doubt that counts as rare-- the cases are pretty rare these days, but not modded Gamecubes. It's not like there's much demand for them with how easy it is to softmod a Wii.

My dad got me and my brother two of these when he went to Japan. They were good for the Gameboy Player, Resident Evil, Zelda Collector's Edition and fighting games (though obviously, a stick would have been better). Nice little controllers, even if they're a bit off with the Gamecube button layout instead of the SNES one.
