My toaster commission

[Drakon]

This nes toaster has a multi av port installed in the back and it outputs true rgb, true s-video, composite video and audio that's either the original mono or amped pseudo stereo with the flick of a switch. This machine has almost no video jailbars and uses the original cartridge slot. The ports at the back are connected with headers so you can quickly remove the nes pcb if you ever need to. The powerpak compatibility chip has been installed so you can use the powerpak with the rgb chip. The audio circuit is much better than the standard nes stereo mod and the video quality is more issue free than common rgb setups. Also both the default and advanced audio circuits mix in the extended audio from the powerpak. Ignore the dials and the comm connector on the back this machine was previously poorly modded for rgb and bad stereo sound by some other modder:

And yes....I stuck at cutting holes for multi av ports

Oh yeah...the original mono audio out rca jack still works

If anyone's curious at all about the quality of my work I made a new video showing how well built my machines are. I take the fully upgraded toaster (every mod imaginable) and bring it back to factory standards (composite ppu, mono audio output, through the original av jacks, even rf video). Then I demonstrate it running like it was never modded to begin with. Then I re-attach all the upgrades, show the system running with the upgrades and put it all back together in about 10 minutes.

How are you geting RGB out? Did you have to sacrifice a playchoice 10 for the circuitry?

You have to use the PPU from a PlayChoice-10 PCB and then construct an amplifier circuit around it.

Nothing was sacrificed the rgb ppu chip was socketed on the playchoice you can pry it out with just a small screwdriver. There was no damage done to these playchoice boards (although a lot of the boards I bought were damaged anyway so I got them for decent prices). You can always stick the rgb chip back into the playchoice.

That's the old technique which I outdated a long time ago. Simply building a rgb amp and using that rgb actually decreases the quality of the signal depending on how long the rgb wires are. You need to feed the rgb into a video encoder at the shortest distance possible to maintain a clear picture. Even adding 1/2 a foot distance between the ppu and a video encoder makes the picture more blurry. Adding about 6 feet of cord and the picture becomes so blurry it doesn't look much better than composite video (and this's when you're using a rgb amp). Even if you wire a video encoder at close range the signals are very sensitive and cause all kinds of strange issues like being able to see the background refreshing in some games (highly annoying). The ONLY solution I found was ordering these kits:

This kit has the rgb go into a video encoder at point blank range and this kit pcb has the video circuit so well setup that all the video issues I was having pretty much go away.

For future reference, can I ask what you would charge for something like this?

It'd be nice to get rgb out of my nes one day...

Since I get asked this almost daily I made a price guide:
