Great video! The quality is amazing. I can follow along very easily.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks

[@vougbour1]

and that was a very good video. love the attention to detail especially the points about removing solder from the pins. if someone didn't know they might use to much force and f up their system

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks! Yep I like to cover off all the details but run the risk of my videos going for ages. I think this one worked out really well as a good balance.

[@GadgetUK164]

Great job =D One thing I would point out, when you remove a chip and then use it to hold the socket in place - be careful there's not still solder on the chip pins, because it will then join to the socket when you try to solder the socket on the board. Very tidy job though - I am impressed =D Finally someone else has started using PlastX - that makes two of us now lol.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

PlastX is the best! Yes that's a good point re the solder on the pins. I briefly mentioned wiping them clean with the iron, but I didn't go further into it (I had already rambled long enough). I think as long as you don't use too much heat when soldering in the socket it seems fine. I had no issues but I can how that could go very wrong. Thanks for the comments!

[@aussieguy1012]

Awesome video as per usual man nice and detailed.You could also wrap some 2400grit wet/dry paper around your file to finish for a ultra smooth finish.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Good idea thanks

[@djlynk08]

Love your videos mate, very informative.

[@thunderhawk11]

Never thought id see a maco watchin this

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks Sash.

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Oooh, I'm going to enjoy this one for sure Global. I'll get the popcorn and soda pop for sure. Thank you as always bro. Anthony..

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Tahnks! FYI I've got a broken AES on the way from Japan right now. I'll make a video on that very soon. :)

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Global Garage By any chance Global, did you purchase it from a seller by the name of "8bitterz" and did said "Sold As Seen" Anthony...

[@vougbour1]

i bought a PCE DUO-R from him...... i purchased as is, and the description says does not power on so thought must be the fuse. well it turns on and the graphics are corrupted, and the disc does not spin. was a gamble that didn't pay off. oh well will get to it one day. but was annoyed as the description was incorrect!

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Charlie Cat No a different seller

[@vougbour1]

is 8bitterz a known "sold as Seen" seller? knowing full well the items dont work? one day i will dig into my duo-r and hopefully repair it.

[@tillerGeneric]

Nice job. I'm an amateur and modded my AV Fami with the Hi-Def NES kit too. I did have trouble with the large cap in the back, (C13 I think). The one Jason sent was larger than the original and totally crowded the smaller cap next to it. Had to install it at a slight angle. You didn't really go over that in the video so I assume he sent a better size for yours.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

He also sent 1500uF instead of 1000uF so I just used one that I already had in stock. I've let him know and he's amending the AV Famicom kit.

[@DJAlexUnderBase]

Sir , please can you tell me what is the correct size for the AV Famicom template ... Thanks in advance for all !

[@vougbour1]

have a usa top loader so might need to order a kit :) looks similar in difficulty to rgb mod

[@GlobalGarageAus]

It's fairly straight forward job, but does require good soldering experience. I think the desoldering gun is a must.

[@vougbour1]

looks like i have the same desoldering gun you use, and i have a love hate relationship with it. find it needs alot of maintenance and cleaning. Also use a Japanese made solder sucker with disposable silicone tips and it does a fantastic job of removing solder :) what other systems are you considering modding next? looked into any PC engine stuff?, if after any from Australia i have a few you can take a look at :)

[@johnraymondt.domingo4105]

its a verry entertaining video and verry helpfull. is that kit possible to work on famicom?

[@GlobalGarageAus]

John Raymond T. Domingo No the kit doesn't work with the Famicom as the PPU revision is buggy, although I would check with @gametechus or @kevtris

[@johnraymondt.domingo4105]

I see than you for the info. You see i dont have a toploader .only famicom. I have checked the wensite of the hi-def kit they only have av famicom. Do you have alink of your video for that?

[@clevelandrocksdzd]

How is the input lag though

[@CurrentGenGamesWithNick]

Buy Hi-Def NES Kit here where can we get now no buddy has any ?

[@DaveDoc1984]

Hey Global, I Have picked up an AV Famicom just like the one you have modified here. Would you be able to do the same Hi Def NES install for me? The nightmare will be shipping it to and from Australia but I would be willing to do so :)

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Yes sure - www.retrosales.com.au/products/modding-hi-def-nes-hdmi-kit-installation-service

[@thunderhawk11]

Can u do the same for a PAL nes top loader is that a different vid?

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Sure, I will if someone orders it from me.

[@thunderhawk11]

Prob gotta sort out the sega master system first and possible snes. But we can discuss later.

[@Lion-EXE]

Very good video. Are you able to hear expansion sound using AV cables? (In games like Gimmick or Japanese Castlevania 3)

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Good question.. I need to test that and get back to you

[@rerolledDK]

I don't think this mod touches the system's analog audio output at all. The AV Famicom's expansion sound mixing should remain intact. Unfortunately, the AV Famicom's expansion sound mixing is not so good with original carts. On original cartridges, the expansion audio is way too loud relative to the system's audio. However, expansion audio from the Everdrive N8 actually sounds well balanced on the AV famicom, because its expansion audio output is quieter than original cartridges. On the HDMI output, this shouldn't be an issue. The Hi Def NES board digitally generates both the system and expansion audio, totally bypassing the AV Famicom's mismatched audio mixing.

[@BavarianM]

Replacing the capacitors it's so stupid if you don't know if they are good or not If it worked fine before just leave them

[@GlobalGarageAus]

I sort of agree, but caps in these consoles are getting very old. The customer ordered a full cap kit which I think was wise.

[@AndehX]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with replacing capacitors as long as you're using good quality ones. It's actually a good idea to replace them now while the console is open, so that you don't need to go back in a few years and open the console again when the old ones eventually go bad. At least replacing them now means that you dont need to open the console again for potentially another 30 years.

[@bryan2garcia]

The Game Hub it amazes me that you look it over so blatantly the nes front loader is 32 years old and the top loader is 24 years old. Caps have an expected life cycle of 15 to 20 years.
