N64 RGB Video Board
Best visual upgrade for experienced console modders.
The N64RGB is a straightforward and cost-effective DIY board designed for early Nintendo 64 consoles, enabling gamers to achieve razor-sharp analog video output. Each board undergoes rigorous testing for quality assurance before shipping and includes hookup wire and an easy-to-follow installation guide. It is compatible with specific US (NS1XXXXXXXX) and most JP (NUJ1XXXXXXX) serial numbers, requiring motherboards with identifiers NUS-CPU-01, NUS-CPU-02, NUS-CPU-03, or NUS-CPU-04. The upgrade outputs TTL, making it compatible with most CSYNC Scart cables configured for TTL and also works perfectly with HD Retrovision Component Video Cables.

Know before you buy
Check the serial number on the bottom of your console. This board is designed for US consoles starting with NS1 and most Japanese consoles starting with NUJ, specifically those with NUS-CPU-01 through NUS-CPU-04 motherboards.
This is a DIY-focused board that requires soldering to the console's motherboard. While an installation guide is included, you should be comfortable with precision soldering before attempting the upgrade.
