In this video I'm going to mod Sturat's old beat up NES with the NESRGB RGB board, the Blinking Light Win replacement 72-pin connector for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and a Famicom expansion audio mod. I also cleaned up the system and made it cosmetically better.

I decided to do the NESRGB instead of the HDMI Hi-Def NES board. The decision between RGB and HDMI comes down to what the console is going to be used for. If the only system you need to be able to play on your HD flatscreen is an NES, then sure, go for the Hi-Def NES, it's going to be fantastic. The problem begins when you start to introduce other consoles into the mix. Pretty soon you're doing expensive mods and drilling HDMI holes on all your systems, and since I like to keep my consoles as stock as possible, I'd rather not get into drilling holes in everything. RGB is the language of retro consoles. To play all your consoles on a flatscreen in 1080p there's the one-time cost of an upscaler like the Framemeister or an OSSC, and you're good to go. Plus, if you want to use a good old lag-free CRT, then HDMI isn't going to do you any good. So for this mod we'll be sticking to good old, pure RGB, so this NES can measure up to what the Sega Master System could already do out of the box.

Hope you'll join for the ride. Feel free to ask questions. Although I can't mod your system for you.
