I have the RGB mod actually.
It's ok, I almost got it, but went with the cheaper RGB mod.

Yup, the UltraHDMI is great, its definitely the best option for N64 on an HDTV right now. Various options and the hybrid scanlines are great.
I got really confused by that video, they kept showing the video comparisons and the original RGB one always looked better because the deblur ones always ended up looking like a mess of pixels. Then again, the video kept using words like "smear" to describe the AA and saying it was a big boon despite showing the dithering and pixelation that occurs afterwards, so they did seem intent on trying to push the idea that the deblur one looked better somehow.
N64's composite isn't bad looking on a consumer grade CRT from what I remember. You lose a bit of detail but it still doesn't look bad or gross like other types of composite output.
Shoutout to Europe N64 gamers, will these gameshark codes work for Action Replay? I got one kicking around somewhere.
Why? It's still a great mod.
affordable for now
You know we got Neogaf lurkers and asshole ebay retro game sellers looking at this thread right?

Nice. You can dump N64 game with that version.
I have one of those... Had no idea about that.

Yea all you need is a v3.2 and a DB25 Male to DB25 Female cable and a PC that still has that port. This video explains how to do it.
Or Mario 64 coming to the Tournament? lol...Unreal was coming to the N64? I can't find anything on this.

What's native res for Banjo?
It's hard to tell a difference between the hybrid and VI deblur. I'm guessing that particular area is not one that makes mush use of the primary filter.

It's prob 240p, this is Banjo Tooie as well.
If you open all the images and flick between them, you should see the deblur one has sharper pixels.
Yay
I thought so too. The guy accepted my best offer, I fucked it up and ended up buying it at the full listed price. Luckily he's told me he's gonna put a banknote in the parcel to make up the difference caused by me being a twat haha
Very nice, glad to see another with an RGB N64 here(like me).
Thanks! Used to have one...regretted having to sell it two years ago.
Anyhow I need a new controller...I want a hori mini, but damn is £60+ really the going price for them?
I use a Sync Strike(scart to vga) and connect it to the Startech capture card. It's direct capture with no upscaling, though it's scan doubled from 720x240 to 720x480.Nice deal.
My system is also RGB modded
I might have to try and pickup the rumble Mario 64 while I'm in Japan too.
Hey, I am on that train too!
I didn't know that.=O
Ha yeah there's loads of us in the n64 rgb/HDMI club

Anyone know how much adding the AA via the GameShark affects the framerate? Wasn't brought up in the video, yet seems like an obvious question.

It isn't adding AA, it's disabling the AA.

The codes remove the filter.
I tested Goldeneye and it seems like the codes improve the frame rate a tiny bit.
There was a discussion about this in Sega16 and it seems like it improves the frame rate in most games tested.
Correction: the GS removes a filter. The N64 does 2 different filter passes. GS codes remove the first filter. The UHDMI removes the broad AA blur filter.
Using both at the same time removes both filters.
Next Generation preview of Wave Race 64, and the "wave" of jet-ski arcade machines on the horizon in late '96
There were then at least three jet-ski themed arcade games around the same time as Wave Race 64.

Over 75 Nintendo 64 games now with approximately 60-65 boxed. Here's a pick of my most recent pickups. Really happy to get Mystical Ninja complete and in good condition. Need to get Goemon's Great Adventure still.

You too???=O
Yeh I get not many people having HDMI since it's so new, but I'm sure a lot of us have been on the RGB scene for a few years now at least.
It's awesome

For a really long time, yeah.
I just don't play on it much because my analog stick is shit.

I have an RGB cable on the way, I'll wire up my last THS amp when that arrives.
yeah, I'm on this team
Haha, i dont post much about it i guess, my n64 is not really among my favorite systems.
I feel its the same people posting in all the retro-threads, and im pretty certain we all have solutions for rgb on most consoles by this point.
The savagery of composite and svid primitive cultures is... unimaginable. lol
Svideo is good...screw composite though. I ban composite from my recordings even!
