Ouch.
But hey, it's probably worth it to have NES, SNES & N64 all on one system, right? :)
Though again I ask what cables the Tri-Star 64 & N64 will use when they are RGB modded (maybe RGB cables?). Because hey, at least you wouldn't have to deal with the blurriness/colour bleeding of composite if it's RGB.
And will the HDMI adapter for N64 work with it?

Tristar has its own video out, so the HDMI adapter wouldn't work with it at all.

Well that's out, but I still ask about how it goes about with RGB.

Also, will S-Video to SCART (passive S-Video to SCART adapter), Composite SCART (in this case RGB SCART cable accepting a Composite NES signal from an otherwise RGB N64/Tri-Star 64) and Composite to SCART adapters work with Sync Strike, GBS-8200 and SLG-3000?

I personally if i was worried about video quality (it doesn't bother me much) I would get a rgb modded n64 I know someone in canada that performs this service if you want to me to pm you his email let me know. Then use the retron 5 for everything else via hdmi. or the other option is ripping apart the tri-star and getting a snes to nes adapter and hooking that up and hoping for the best I've seen these at a local game store from what i can remember. The easyest of the all the consoles to mod if the snes so I'd start with that one. Another option is to just get a modded xbox then you can run roms and emulators and the picture is much better.
I haven't been on this site in year but do you know of anybody that can RGB mod an n64? I would do it myself but I am worried I might mess it up again. I have a Japanese N64 BTW..apparently it has better RGB output.
