Don't know if anyone here has seen this yet! Rrally exciting news, hopefully its not too expensive

Yeah I'm wondering what the installation process will be, I'm almost definitely going to go for it, really exciting to see something new being developedIf this is an easy install, given the specs it claims it's going to make me very happy I never bit on the UltraHDMI. I can handle some soldering, have installed modchips, opamps, done some s-video and RGB mods, etc. But I know better than to try this.
I’d be surprised, plenty of video mods exist for their older consoles.In b4 Nintendo sues.

Plus this one doesn’t circumvent any DRM/allow piracy, the one thing that really gets their ninja’s blood boiling.
it wasn't too hard to instal a few of these, but it isn't something id say anyone can do... it needed a god solderiron since high or low temperature bad flux could really get messyIf this is an easy install, given the specs it claims it's going to make me very happy I never bit on the UltraHDMI.

ultrahdmi kits are just hard to get around here, been waiting for a batch for more then a year now.I'd consider myself at an intermediate stage where I probably could do an UltraHDMI install, but putting a vintage console up against a decent possibility of error has not been odds I've been willing to bet on. I've got a beautiful purple "Funtastic" series N64 that it would be soul-crushing to see ruined. But not too long ago I also picked up a much less attractive black/gray Japanese N64, which will probably be the one I go-to for modding. (If I do it.)

I would expect the install process to be very similar to be honest. You'll definitely have to solder a ribbon to the RCP as well.
Nah, that basically means it takes the digital video signal before being converted to analogue. Also in general follows the same naming as the PS1 DigitalOh I thought the "Digital" part allowed it to play roms or had roms. Nm then.
Yeah definitely something you'd need experience forit wasn't too hard to instal a few of these, but it isn't something id say anyone can do... it needed a god solderiron since high or low temperature bad flux could really get messy
Yeah there's definitely some risk/reward to all thisI'd consider myself at an intermediate stage where I probably could do an UltraHDMI install, but putting a vintage console up against a decent possibility of error has not been odds I've been willing to bet on.

Yeah that's definitely a big thing to consider, I'm sure these will be a hot itemultrahdmi kits are just hard to get around here, been waiting for a batch for more then a year now.
There's definitely a market for it, every console has its fans and I'm sure lots of people want to make sure their childhood consoles are compatible with newer hardwareSeems cool. But I'm wondering if they expect to actually make money off of it. Not sure how many people actually still have the N64 hardware, and how many of those will want to bother with this. I can walk into any second-hand store here in Japan and get one cheap, but then getting US games would be a pain. My launch day N64 and all of my games were stolen more than 20 years ago. Whoa... I'm getting old.

Hehe hey if only!!I know, but a man can dream .... lol
What @JaapDaniels said above is also true though - simple availability would make the installation 1000x easier than it is right now with UltraHDMI.
