Think I'll go with the everdrive, apparently it lets you play NTSC games on a pal console at 60hz?

>>8566269
That’s not how that works anon
RGB modding won’t magically make it 60hz neither

>>8566269
Definitely go with the Everdrive. I have a RGB modded 64 and honestly I can barely tell the difference between S-video and scart rgb unless I'm playing on my scaler. And yes, even if you have a pal system it will have no issues playing roms of any region at the correct speed.

UGH

>>8566446
I’ve done the n64 RGB mod as well, the eTim one. It’s not as dramatic as an improvement as you’d hope for like this anon said. Everdrive is the way to go in this case. Also it’s a relatively difficult mod, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you aren’t very confident.

What you should do is forget the shitty4 and the 5 games worth playing that it has and make the mature decision.

>>8566513
What do you get out of posting this.
You're like that meme picture
>look mom I've posted it again.
This time they will appreciate my post.
Well done bro

>>8566256
I would just take S-Video from the N64. RGB is not really worth the effort with that console

>>8566596
I was thinking about rgb modding my system. Deblur seems to be the real game changer.

Just go with the Everdrive
the jump in quality from composite to S-Video is way bigger the jump from S-Video to RGB
Plus the N64 has a crappy global anti aliasing on it, some mods remove it (i know Ultra HDMI does remove it) but it's honestly deliberately there and hides some of the jank
Like for example Ocarina of Time kinda looks like shit without this filter because a lot of the backgrounds are pre rendered and clash horribly when they're not smoothed together

Your best bet is to buy a JP modded unit already, the mods are quite advanced.

>>8566621
sadly my CRT doesn't take S-Video it only does RGB Scart, RF and Composite (through composite front panel and scart at the back), which is why I was debating about the RGB Modded n64, but I'll go with the Everdrive because being able to play ntsc games at real speed is more important to me than the video quality desu, 50hz slowdown is really fucking horrible.

>>8566613
Can confirm, deblur is legit, and *optionally* AA off, but you'd need to use a GameShark for that (just be sure to run a ROM of it through Everdrive and not use a real one).
I say optionally because some people can't justify how much dither it produces.

>>8566636
Everdrive supports GameShark codes, and you can drop in patch files and it will perform on the fly patching. You can find a huge collection of the patch files too.

>>8566256
If your on CRT like a chad dont buy rgb at all waste of cash if your not on CRT stop being a fucking tard

>>8566719
Yeah, I'm using a CRT, KV-14LT1U

>>8566269
Not sure about N64 but most PAL retro consoles need a dual frequency oscillator mod to make it true 60hz with the correct colour range when playing NTSC games. This was certainly the case with my PS1.

>>8566684
I have an everdrive but never used game shark. Is it a different code for every game?

>>8566806
I was thinking about just picking up an NTSC 64 and an everdrive

>>8566827
If you're in the UK you can get an RGB modded NTSC N64 from Old Skool Consoles

https://www.oldskoolconsoles.com/product-page/rgb-modded-n64-grey-ntsc-t-w-n64rgb-with-deblur

>>8566820
Yeah, it’s a different code for every game. Just look up anti aliasing code patch collection.

>>8566851
Nice, might buy the everdrive first and then this the payday after.

>>8566256
Instant noodles

RGB is a meme. Everdrive is a meme. Just use your console the way it was intended to be used. The games aren't even that expensive.

>>8566973
>tell me your an America without telling me you from America
Sorry but I used rgb since the 90s
Just Nintendo that is cheap.

>>8566973
You’re a meme. Keep playing Mario 64 over your RF cable.

>>8567019
You know it plays over s-video right?

>>8567019
RF is also a meme, component only or die.

>>8566997
Well if you're an American like OP with a CRT that doesn't even have the right inputs it certainly is a meme.

>>8566997
This is an American website. Non-Americans should state their business here before browsing.

>>8567028
Americans are a little dog running back and forth in its enclosure yapping at everybody who walks by.

>>8567037
Yap yap, queer.

>>8567025
Op is uk

>>8567376
Yuck

>>8566596
Did Nintendo ever tell anyone that the n64 supports s video? I never knew that it did, and I never saw s video cables that were made for it, just snes ones. Even in the n64s manual it doesn't say it supports s video just rf and composite.

>>8567442
I never knew about s-video cables until I read about them online.
Like I've seen the ports on the back of a DVD player but I didn't know what they really did.

>>8567476
Most American TVs just had component and rf. S Video and composite were always higher end. People on this board act like they were more common than they were. They became much more prevalent on LCD tvs, but the n64 is gonna look worse on that display.

>>8567482
*reverse composite and component

>>8567489
Fuck, I'm usually careful about the distinction but I slip up sometimes.

>>8567492
It's fine. I taught myself to think that component sounds more premium than composite.

>>8567496
I'm just gonna say the yellow cable versus the colored cables from now on

>>8566973
>some example loose prices
>SM64 - $34
>OoT - $40
>Conker's Bad Fur Day - $130
>Majoras Mask - $70
>Paper Mario - $86

>Kirby 64 - $40

or

>all games
>tons of romhacks
>occasional weird stuff like Dinosaur Planet
>built in NES emulator if you care about that

Honestly at this point if you have a bunch of N64 carts, the smartest move is to sell the ones that don't hold sentimental value and grab a flash cart.

>>8567442
>>8567476
I wasn't even aware of S-Video back in the day. To me it was 100% composite until HDMI took over.

>>8567574
Same I was playing xbox 360 via composite on a tube tv, until 2013. Devs stopped thinking composite in there games so text would unreadable in some games.

>>8567568
Not even that expensive. Just don't buy 5 carts in one sitting

get the chink "ED64 PLUS GAME SAVE DEVICE" unironically beats the shit out of the "recommended" everdrives that cost over $100 and dont even support every game, from what i remember Ed64plus supports every single game, and costs around $50-60
cant imagine spending more than that on a console with only a handful of good games, and an abysmal library total.

>>8566269
It does. Don't listen to those other retards; I have an X7 and I use it to play US games on my AUS console at full speed

>>8567963
forgot to add this on, but i own both an rgb modded n64 (bought ebay $160) and the ed64plus and i fucking regret buying the rgb modded 64 now, because its the votar one without deblur. fuck n64.

>>8567985
>voultard
That should have been an immediately red flag, Anon...

>>8566613
There's two types of "deblur". Deblur built-in the RGB mod doesn't do a whole lot in my opinion. It just makes the output signal a tiny bit sharper. Software deblur (i.e. through Gameshark) however makes a much bigger difference because this actually changes the way the image is being rendered.

>wanting the desoul

>>8568082
>thinking having your monitor/tv smothered in vaseline is "soul"

>>8567963
I call bull shit on this, what games don't work on the x7?

>>8566439
Shit your stupid uneducated troglodyte mouth
>>8567972
This anon is correct. All X-series Everdrives have UltraCIC 3 with automatic region switching.

>>8567963
>works with every game
Except Pokémon Stadium 2, and Animal Crossing. Guess what though, 7x works with those and every other game. Nice try Chang.

Based non-researching anons
The N64 took the same cable connector as the SNES, and the SNES (not Jr) supported s-video.
