I've heard a lot of good thing about SCART/RGB for old consoles for use with either CRT's or HDTV's. Either way I don't really have any soldering skills, but I do want to have a RGB 64 for the hell of it.

Is it better to risk attempting something I never did, damaging my system, or paying a bit more out of pocket to get a premade one?

I bought one about three years back, still going strong and looks great. Go for it, bro.

you can buy the chips and DIY
I had yukie do it for me, great service and yeah the 64 looks shitty no matter what video resolution imo, this makes it a little more bearable imo.

IMO too which is why I've just stuck with s-video.

soldering imho is something really easy to pick up with minimal practice, especially if your inclined to making things anyway.

I'd say do some basic soldering project like making a metronome and if you don't feel confident afterward get someone else to do it like. >>2493923

Honestly it's super easy with just a set of basic tools, just try it out anon.

Also i'd say a solder temperature dial is super important. as well as a "solder sucker" and some solder remover wire for learning.

I'd do the mod for free for a friend.
