S-video...and COMPONENT modded NES 001?!

[satoshi_matrix]

I know 133Mhz seen this a year ago, but for the rest of us, HOLYFRIGGINCRAP!

I saw something truly crazy

This guy has modded an NES Toaster to output not only S-video, but also friggin' component video!

He does it by using a Play-Choice 10 PPU and then built a converter board. This is something I very much want to buy.

Unfortunately the dude hasn't responded to my messages and his page seems rather dead.

I know it's a slim chance, but still, does anyone here have the technical skill to build such a system? What would be the overall cost of such a project? I'm guessing this would be rather pricey.

He doesn't mention it in his video, but what would be the quality/resolution of NES games in component? Even at 480p, that's still rather incredible.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

I'm doing a commissioned rgb nes job right now for someone and I've already done the mod very successfully on my own system.  My rgb is converted to s-video externally from my nes but I could easily build a s-video/component converter pcb inside of the nes running off of the nes power.Here's the thread where I was discussing my work

I can rgb mod a famicom or nes (preferrably toaster nes since it's got lots of space inside) if you provide me a system AND a rgb ppu and I could also add a converter board that takes the signal and makes it s-video/component.  I think I know the guy you're talking about we've pmed each other a few times.  He's shown me his system and he's using a jrok encoder board in his nes.  So I could install one of those boards if you'd like.  The quality of the component signal should be dependant on what format your encoder board outputs.  I've never worked with a jrok but I can e-mail them from their site and ask what format the component outputs in.

if you don't have a rgb ppu they can be a bit hard to find and maybe cost some extra $$$.  But if you do have the ppu then the rest of the required parts will be easy to find.
