Very ironic! I have the N64Digital v1 mod which is beautiful as an HDMI set up, but the RGB output over the TINK5X is just as nice. This RGB mod is exactly what an entry point should look like for a console.

I've had a horrible fever, and the only prescription, was more Voultar.

You are like the Bob Ross of console modding lessons. As someone who recently bought soldering tools to start modding my consoles, this video really makes me feel confident enough to get started. I only wish my N64 was compatible with this mod as it's one of the Japanese two-tone funtastic models which unfortunately had it's serial # removed by the seller.

My N64 has been modded with this kit for the better part of 5 years now. Despite the age I've felt no inclination to upgrade to any of the other new fancy kits since this one still looks just as stellar through the 5X or even the OSSC! I even thought I'd be missing out on deblur included on newer kits but adjusting sampling on OSSC and 5X looks just as sharp and clean!

I am glad you showed the method of connecting the RGB wires to the capacitors instead of the vias. That's how I did my install after I saw a photo on your twitter. Mod works great! Thank you!

I can confirm this was my exact observation when I installed these mods into my personal console! So @voultar whwn we doing some N64 controller mods 😉 your boy has the hook up there!

Love seeing you put out some content to help out beginners! This very kit was one of my first ever installs; a very simple yet powerful little mod! Years of practice and experience later and now I'm installing even the more complex kits you showcase like the 64digital. Couldn't have gotten this far without you, thanks as always for your continued service to all of us bossman

Great video Voultar, I've done 2 of these N64 RGB boards with the older through-hole method, but this new video is definitely an easier way to install the RGB lines from the N64 to the RGB board.

really stepped up the quality of your videos once again V. seamless multishot with pov on the console. audio mixing etc. gj man

This is perfect. Thanks for content you put out there Voultar. Nice to have you back!

This board from Voultar for the N64 was my very first console mod a few months ago. I have watched many of his videos for proper soldering techniques and for good equipment/supplies recommendations, and I can honestly say that they have really boosted my confidence as I have kept doing progressively more complex mods. I have just completed a full NESRGB mod (PPU extraction and all) - which I would consider one of the most challenging mods around (that and the xStation mod for the PS1). I try to use Voultar’s mods/parts whenever they are available as they are very high quality. My biggest advice for someone starting is to remain calm and take things one step at a time. WHEN you make a mistake, remain calm and use some of Voultar’s recommendations (specifically the use of flux to fix solder bridges when you’ve used too much solder). As you keep working, you’ll get a sense for the right amount of solder to use. Bottom line: this is a great hobby and I hope you’ll enjoy it as well and support the great resources in the community, like Voultar. Thanks.

Fantastic video Voultar! Way to show us how to get things done like a champion!

Can you do some videos on proper laser replacement and calibration for fat PS2 and other consoles? And how the process changes between various PS2 revisions?

If it wasnt for this mod I never would've learned to solder. Thanks voultar.

Just installed one of these last night. Incredibly quick and easy and looks great. It already fixed some issues I was having with an etim rgb mod.(a small few of specific games, freezing at specific times in an ED64 x7). Thanks Voultar you legend.

Since I discovered your channel, 5 years ago, and I started learning about console mods, I must have done like a dozen N64s, and a lot more SNES, and this video still got me off guard, grabbing the RGB signal from the capacitors is amazing, most times I have trouble with those vias not wanting to get a proper solder joint, I'm definetely moving to grab those signals from the capacitors. Good to see that still today I'm still learning new things.

Voultar has the highest grade filming quality ever in my opinion. Voultar is back!

Glad to see you back on KZfaq! I think a PicoBoot video would be very useful. I always link people to your N64 Advanced RGB video since it shows excellent examples of clearing bridges, which seems like the most common way people brick their GameCubes during the mod.

Yay. welcome back Voultar!! Thanks for the video and the tutorials.

Yay finally he brought back the GGW hat!!!

One bit of info that really helped me solder better was being told that solder adheres best to hot objects, you seem to be demonstrating that at 8:11. I might have been scared of causing damage, but I wasn't heating up the contact point in a manner that would allow the solder to bond.

Great that you liked my comparison. Thanks for the video credit 👍

Glad to hear you're back to your old sensual self again. Great video!

You're just a really awesome guy! If we didn't have people like you who try to keep these systems alive, the world would be a darker place. I also much prefer playing on my CRT so getting RGB out of every console I own is very important for me, but having the ability to go big screen with my OSSC when friends are over is just as nice. The thing about a lot of HDMI mods I dislike is that some of them completely replace analog output, the Wii Dual and GC Dual are the only ones I have and I actually got them so I can get YPbPr through SCART for my OSSC lol.

Dude, how did you get busted down to being a Lieutenant Lord? That's bogus! Plz include more lore in the next episode. Also, would love to see you do more mod repairs. I learned so much, like about using IPA to remove hot glue in those videos. Glad to see you back! 🤟🏻

N64 and SNES Jr. RGB mods were my first two mods and even as a beginner I got them both right on my first try thanks to watching lots of your videos over the years. Since then I've been able to tackle a bunch more advanced projects and I feel really comfortable with my tools. This is a great gateway into the console modding hobby.

I bought the kit and am looking forward to trying this soon. Your videos are the best, dude; they inspire quiet confidence with some humor spritzed in for good measure. Keep it up!

You are legendary. Knowing the needs of your audience, producing the need, delivering it with the n64 007 music... u rock

Do i even want to know the backstory of how you got that hat? I fear it might be disturbing

This is possibly your best video yet. You're being so patient and kind and friendly! Also, with that cart slot replacement, is anyone selling one for the SNES? Someone was selling SNS-101 ones on eBay but not SNS-001 ones.

The N64 is my least favourite console but I still love watching stuff like this. Great job.

thanks for the great video man! I'm going to give my spare N64 a shot with your RGB kit 👍

I've been very nervous about this, but this new video gave me some confidence since I have next to no soldering experience

The narration is always the best part

Thank you for these videos bro. Your work has helped me tremendously. I don’t do the mods to make a profit, only for my personal benefit. I helped a friend recently to fix his original NES and your videos and techniques were utilized in a attempt to accomplish that feat. The NES was repaired and my friend said where did I learn to do that, of course I said Voultar. Thank you again.

Glad to see the Mod Master back, I think I will start my journey down the modding rabbit hole with this one

Glad to see more videos from you! And also glad to hear you’re doing well. I just hope you get a break from modding your OBVIOUSLY favorite console…

Just barely received it today followed a long with the video and works pretty great noticed there wasn't any video at first so I just kind of re fixed my joints on the circuit and R16 and it worked! Thanks :)

I've got the N64RGB, but aside from missing that deblur feature your solution is perfectly fine in just about any use case I can think of. I've enjoyed the mod scene's introduction of HDMI to so many old consoles, but I'll be honest, I can't see myself using HDMI when I can get true RGBS. So many of those old systems use light guns and I just gotta keep that support. Too many good light gun games out there. Whatever difference there may be going pure digital, a good RGB signal is just SO close I can't see it really even being visible to me. I base this on all the times I've swapped back and forth on my PC monitor between VGA and Displayport at the same 1080P resolution. Then you've got systems like the PS1 where HDMI modding cuts out functionality like the system link port. I'll take your advice and let an upscaler like the Tinkerbell or the upcoming doubleOSSCar handle it. (Also have to add my solidarity to that casual mention of universal health care support. Yay that!)

Your channel is my favorite mod channel!

I love this vlog, you went step by step and spoke in plain English no jargon. kudos my friend.

Wish my N64 was compatible with your mod, awesome video!!

"sweet droppings of the gods" 😂

Got mine several years ago... a breeze to install. It's great!

"We're just going to bond these two beautifully in holy, soldering matrimony"😆 11:22

Great video. Can't wait for that 2chip SNES RGB bypass mod. 🤞

Quality work as per usual, awesome.

As much as I appreciate the whole video showing the whole mod, it's the section about halfway through where you show exactly how to solder it to the board that's really helpful to a beginner.

I've been rocking with s-video for a good few months now, I will definitly use this video if I decide to go RGB!

I love your Bob Ross energy. Beautiful tutorial

Fantastic video as usual. Hopefully you can work out something for overseas buyers as I’d love to grab your snes and n64 kits. Nice to see you back to making more videos.

1:25 , i like your mod as you see more detail with out things coming off very dark. tiny bit less detail in the ground but the colors and lighting are so much better with your mod.

I like the newer method of doing the jumper wires. I think it's easier to do and verify you did it correctly visually.

Glad to see you back. I'm patiently awaiting your 2 chip SNES RGB mod. 😁

once I recap my n64 power supply I'll be picking this up and snes rgb board, look forward to doing these. thank you for making these boards

Greetings from Chile, I bought this chip a few years ago and it is wonderful and easy to install, at least for someone like me with little use of a soldering iron. Of course, the N64 does not have a very outstanding image, but it improves a lot when using the HD retrovision cable. Sorry for my english.

I’m about to get into modding. Thanks lord Voultar

the cap really helps in selling me. im convinced good sir, i'll take 100

I am super happy to see you back! I've missed your streams and videos! Would this show a noticeable difference in video quality if you pass it through a Walmart brand RCA to HDMI converter? (Still saving for a retro tink lol)

Best console mod tutorial vids on the internet.

You opened my eyes with this video and your other one about the AVE-HDMI.

Great video!!! I can't wait for the internationally shipping , i want to buy the pce duo rgb amp for a long time.

Thanks for the video; this looks like a great option. And I love your Mr. Microphone. "Hey Good Lookin', we'll be back to pick you up later!"

I’m curious, is there a specific reason you soldered the conductors to the capacitors instead of the vias?

Voultar is back :)

I love being able to have HDMI output on vintage consoles, but given that there isn't anything available for the SNES, I'm tempted to do RGB on both that and my N64 through an RGB/HDMI transcoder (haven't figured out which one I'd do yet). I appreciate how Voultar had a very collected and non biased approach to the differences and who would and would not prefer one method over the other.

Excellent work lord voultar

6:20 - you missed the technical step of throwing the RF shield over your shoulder as hard and as non-sensually as you can. Not sure I can even watch the rest of the video.

Clean, simple and reversible! Hope you can get international shipping sorted eventually

Curious for my own learning, why this specific mod doesn't work on other N64 revisions? Or is there something a bit more advanced one can do to make it work?

Hi Lt, I've enjoyed watching your videos the past couple days and recently ordered two of your rgb mods, are the retrovision HD cables a must or will my cheap hdmi conversion cable be sufficient or perhaps better?

What model is your overhead cam? Thats some insanely good production quality

Glad to see another video. So does the RGB also allow you to hook up to a CRT via RGB to get 240p?

This was super interesting to watch! I'm really interested in the motherboard aspect of it. How do you know which part of the motherboard does what? Is is a uniform knowledge applicable to any electric device, or is it information I have to look up for each device? (And if so, is there like a booklet explaining what each letter-number pair do? Haha) Thank you for the video!!

Funny vid. I think by default every retro gamer should have soldering experience.

This makes me wonder if we're gonna get a cheaper method for the NES RGB besides the Tim Worthington Kit and the PC10/NVS PPU mod one day.

Can I just get Voultar to do some retakes for narration of my favorite documentaries already? Maybe some from bbc during mating season? I wanna laugh as HARD as I learn... Thanks Lord Voultar for some more soldering knowledge. Hope to see you again sooner!

I haven't been able to figure out exactly what Voultar is doing differently from me to stop that multicolored ribbon from melting when soldering it on. I did figure out that using the MG liquid no-clean helps because it absorbs a lot of the heat, but then I either have to turn the iron tip up or end up with uglier solder joints. It seems like Voultar is using a much lower temp or heat than me because the insulation is not melting at all, but his joints end up looking so much nicer than mine. I suppose I might just be too picky about how pretty my solder joints are 😆. Maybe the key is holding it with something squishy like a finger instead of tweezers?

Such a calming refreshing voice

thanks for this video i might have to mod my n64 now

Really hoping you can get your products to Europe soon, would love to buy 'em!!

Mighty Lord Voultar is there any info on when shipping to Europe is resumed?

i ordered a n64HD from gamebox systems, is that the digital solution you are mentioning at the end of the video? have you tested that board alongside your Rgb Kit? that would be cool especially for folks who want all purpose n64 with all the connection fixins

another great video!

i actually installed this a few years back, easy install even if you have a little experience, and i still would prefer it to like tha new gamebox hdmi kit or the pixil fx lite, especially if you run a good upscaler

I guess there's no need to find a Sync line to solder up since it's meant to use composite for sync, huh.

Great Video! What about some mega drive mods?

1) Can this be used in tandem with an HDMI mode? 2) What cable is needed to be used with this RGB mode with a Retro Tink 5x? 3) Are there STL files available for the cartridge slot?

Says it was restocked a week ago but not in stock for me right now. Life is always just so damn frustrating.

Will you make a video about the 64HD? I'm curious about this kit, but I'm on the fence about it because of the lack of support for "end-user"-friendly firmware updater.

That screwdriver is the win, lovely piece of kit

At the very end of this video, you mentioned a digital option coming down the pipe. What were you referring to? Thanks.

Voultar, could you please link the music you use in your videos? The 007 goldeneye music in this video is awesome

Great video as always. Video quality-wise, how does this method differ from using R8, R9, and R10?

Can you use soldering rosin too instead of flux? I got a soldering kit that includes the soldering rosin.

I think this is the mod that's been used in my N64. I know mine is definitely a cheap RGB mod, but I wasn't the one who did it. After all of the research I've done on this topic, largely out of curiosity, I actually think that an RGB mod is better than an HDMI mod. I started off thinking that HDMI mods were the best, but I eventually changed my mind. To my knowledge, an HDMI modded system does also add some latency (not sure on exact ms figures, or which HDMI mods add less latency than others), whereas using an RGB modded system with a good upscaler (such as a Retrotink or RAD2X) isn't going to add any meaningful amount of latency at all. RGB modding a system is likely a better value option for people who want to keep the costs down, but it will also enable a broader range of compatibility with different devices setups and is also a better option for people who are willing to spend a lot of money for the best possible setup. An RGB mod with a Retrotink 4k (or with some other higher end upscalers) is going to be better than using an HDMI modded system, and an RGB modded system is by far the best way to play on CRTs (unless maybe it's a CRT with HDMI as an input option, but those are quite rare).

Hey Lord Voultar without his sunglasses!!!

Voultar, can you mod and film an RGB mod for my Sharp Twin Famicom?

Can you link that goldeneye remix? It sounds so awesome!

considering i cant for the life of me get a n64 digital this would be idea for me since i have a retrotink x5 and a scart rgb cable.
