Nintendo 64 NTSC-J: RGB Amp + FT Buddy Long Board

August 8, 20222 threads~1 min readSuccessful repair
AV output mod

RGB mod on an early Nintendo 64 (NUS-001) NTSC-J. Used a self-assembled Borti4938-based RGB amp by TzorriMahm and the FT-N64-Buddy-Long-Board by FragolRoc. The early NTSC-J boards still have the RGB lines on the multi-out, making them the easiest N64 variant to RGB-mod.

Crispy RGB on the N64 courtesy of a sharing community! Thanks @borti4938 and @TzorriMahm for publishing the PCB for the RGB amp which allowed me to order and assemble it myself. Also to @FragolRoc for publishing the buddy long board PCB. Using a @retro_cables RGB cable to test.
