The Nintendo 64 Gets A New Less Expensive Hi-Def Mod!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey everyone I made a mistake in the video. The N64Digital was not the first HDMI mod the N64, that was the UltraHDMI kit. Thanks to those for correcting me!

[@Yami_Industries]

where do you get your music for your videos? it makes your videos so chill and laidback

[@GatorRay]

It's fine. UltraHDMI first came out a while ago.

[@aplsed]

In your defense, I don't think the UltraHDMI has been in stock for a WHILE.

"Not a lot of money", $130 is a lot of money for something like this.

[@dwightdixon8508]

I’ve got the UltraHDMI mod on my N64 and the results are incredible but costly. Mostly due to its rarity due to “shortages” but also cuz it takes great soldering skills to install. This looks to be pretty much on the same level and hopefully bring down the costs of the other HDMI mods for the N64. Very cool

[@seethruhead7119]

I bought mine preassembled. It. was. not. cheap.

[@datamanmachine]

I bought it directly installed from the guy who makes these ultra hdmi kits! He lives in a neighbour country! Cost me 250 € console only around 2017-18.

I bought a preassembled off EBay in 2014 for $450. I'm afraid to see what it is now lol

[@devsfan1830]

The N64Digital isnt the first or only hdmi option. There is the UltraHDMI but given the horrorshow group buys needed to obtain one yeah i suppose you can consider that a non option. Great video as always!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

You’re totally right, I completely forgot about the ultrahdmi! I made a pinned comment making the correction. Thank you!

[@blakkpatron]

I jumped on the uldrahdmi when it first came out and commissioned badassconsoles to do the install for me, when I got the n64 in the mail the hdmi needed to be propped up to have a proper signal(probably the result of a poorly connected hdmi port to the board) I returned the console to him to have it repaired(at the same time I sent him another console so that he could do a shell-swap) after some back and forth regarding him shipping the console back to me he stopped responding to my emails(the last email I got from him was december 2018) all in all I lost 2 n64's from this and one ultrahdmi board+money for shipping. needless to say this whole experience put me off from ever trusting any installer again. maybe this new board is something I could try to install myself.

[@illn0r]

I was lucky to dodge that 'tornado'! Got mine just before things turned to crap.

[@triton199]

it's unfortunate that you got screwed by a shady installer I know Marshall personally, and I don't like people like that giving my friends product a bad name. I've built 6 ultraHDMI consoles so far with zero complaints or returns. it's a relatively straightforward mod for someone with decent soldering skills so there's no real excuse for that

[@triton199]

if you're in the US and ever want an hdmi mod installed shoot me a message and I'll give you a good deal. hardly makes up for getting ripped off before but it's something anyway lol

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Beautifully done! Looking forward to installing one of these bad boys. I'm sure it's already been said but before the Pixelfx kit there was the UltraHdmi. I believe it was one of the first kits of this nature to ever come out along with the HD Nes. The installation for the Ultrahdmi and N64digital are nearly identical.

[@triton199]

Marshall was the first for n64 hdmi mods anyway, also the first properly good n64 flash cartridge with the 64Drive imo lol.

[@Cellsplitter]

I own a PixelFX myself already but this is great that we're getting more options! Just sitting here waiting for that PS2 HDMI mod to release one day now 🤞

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Me too! Hopefully soon

[@NikonRaccoon]

Thank you for posting this. I had been looking for a guide to upgrading my N64, but was balking at the prices of current HDMI solutions. I went ahead and preordered the mod from Castlemania , and your coupon code worked with it. Thanks again!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Nice video as always Tito! I was just looking at the ultraHDMI kit the other day. You have impeccable timing my friend.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice!!

[@BaconTopHat45]

Awesome! I'm glad we are finally getting more competition in this space. I really wanted to do one of these mods but the N64Digital and UltraHDMI Mod are just a bit too expensive for me. This is still higher than I'd like but it's in a bracket I can accept. Should be a reasonable quality improvement over the retrotik without RGB chip I'm currently using. Plus I'll have less of a spaghetti of cables behind my TV. Pre-Ordered with your code, Thanks!

Very nice kit! I like that you don’t need to cut the shell to fit the mod. 😃

[@lucasRem-ku6eb]

How did you install it, you made the board yourself, of did you send it to someone. Better than a Dolphin machine ?

[@triton199]

you dont have to cut the shell for ultraHDMI either, you can 3d print a replacement A/V shell and a small spacer/tray that fit into the console so you don't have to cut anything

[@ParkerAWade]

I’d love to see some comparison vids! I just received the kit and I’m switching from my eon super 64 +MClassic which is a surprisingly high quality plug and play option, albeit a little expensive. I plan on running this through the MClassic as well so I anticipate a pretty decent improvement. The MClassic really seems to add the much needed umph to hdmi converters. Thanks for the vid!

[@shaun8062]

well? any updates? I too use the EON with the mClassic and have for years now. What's your verdict on difference in picture quality and price?

The indents in that flex cable design are a genius idea.

I picked up one of these from Stone Age Gamer. It works great when it works. I am going to assume there are going to be some upset people because I have tested this one several on different LCDs and some do not like it at all. It will not work on my computer monitors, but it works great on my crappy viso TV upstairs, but only on 720p. The other modes just flicker and won't sync. 1080i has colored lines on it and won't fill the screen. It won't work at all on my Amazon fire TV down stairs. I am going to experiment with different HDMI cables because I know that can have some effect, but I know other people are going to run into this same issue. I thought I had messed up soldering and redid the entire mod, but it still has the same issues.

[@BrandonTweed]

I’ve just done two of these, and tested two of everything in my chain (N64, 64HD kit, hdmi mini, and monitors) and get the same video issue.

Thanks for the video, Tito. Great content as always. I would like to see that comparison video, especially a side-by-side of the best quality picture each kit can render on your HDTV.

[@Artur_Iozzi]

The ideal solution for me would have been 4x integer scaling to a 960p window inside a 1080p frame. Or even 5x scaling (1200p) cropped to 1080p, since many N64 games had black borders anyway.

[@johnnysmythe2552]

2 quick things- firstly thank you for the helpful guide. It made installing the 64hd much easier. 2nd - although all my original games work fine with this mod, the everdrive 64 (v2.5) I purchased in 2019 has menu issues- meaning the menu doesn’t work. I can still blindly launch games on it, but the menu is scrambled. If you own an everdrive and want to do this mod, for sure the 2.5 doesn’t work. If any other one does please let me know. The everdrive works fine with composite cables still just not thru hdmi

[@8bitnation419]

It’s great to have yet another option. There is also the RGB Advance which is of similar quality to the N64 HDMI mods. Hopefully they manage to keep this in stock. I would love to see an RGB add on board for those that also want to add in native RGB support. I love to be able to have the option to hook it up to a modern tv and then a CRT using RGB cables.

[@andrebrait]

IIRC N64Digital also adds RGB to the multi-out. RGB can also be added with other, cheaper mods.

[@llnemesisll7129]

I got the RGB mod but instead of using scart cables I used hd retrovision component cables on a hd CRT. Looks really good but haven't been able to get an HDMI mod yet. Expensive

It's not listed on their preorder details page, and after getting an email saying it should ship April 21st I never heard anything else until I emailed on May 6th. Then I got a response on the 12th that there were delays and they should receive it next week. Now it's June 8th and still no further word from them, the order is still unfulfilled, and I'm trying to cancel it. Won't be buying from them again. I understand delays, but you've got to be more communicative when they happen.

[@tuck9799]

I'm an IPC J-STD Trainer and just wanted to say you have great technique. There are two things I saw that you should be aware of if you're going to do many more of these. When you ran the jumper wire to the PIF chip, you never run a jumper wire on top of a component. The other issue I saw is more of the design of the conversion kit and nothing that you did. The flex cable sits directly on top of several transistors. Those get hot by nature, so I would imagine they will cause an issue eventually. Adding several layers of kapton tape to the underside of the flex cable where it touches the transistors would probably fix that.

[@spider2021]

I absolutely love your videos. Clean, to the point, and no filler. Keep up the great work.

[@izzieb]

With regards to the flex cable, is there a reason they couldn't have unconnected pads for the first and last pins or something, to help with alignment and ensure people don't solder it to the wrong pins? I feel like that would be a minor change that wouldn't cost much to implement and would make installation much easier for people.

I'm in for one! I've been wanting an HDMI kit for the N64 for awhile now, only really wanting a clean, digital output, so this kit is more than fine by me. The price definitely still hurts a bit, but it's at least a price I can stomach.

[@Finakechi]

A couple of comments about the 240p mode. It's more than likely that a large number of HDMI to component, and also HDMI to VGA adapters will work with it. You will occasionally run into some issues with that low a resolution, but it's technically part of the HDMI standard so I bet it would work more often than not. You'll also often get a sharper image just because you're using a more modern DAC than what was originally in the console. And there's one other use for the 240p mode, future video scalers with an HDMI input. For example, the upcoming RT. 4K will have an HDMI input on it, and using that 240p mode will get you a pure digital signal throughout the entire chain.

[@ModeSOLOgaming]

I really want to get into modding consoles and hopefully I'll be getting a soldering iron soon. I just gotta get an idea of what to start buying, and what to start practicing on.

[@devikwolf]

Really excited for this! I've wanted an HDMI N64 mod for a while -- I have great mod-free image options for lots of my consoles, but the N64 remains elusive!

[@NL_the_Godfather]

You can buy a N64 cable to hdmi adapter. Works really well and is way cheaper then any mod.

[@devikwolf]

@@NL_the_Godfather Not anywhere near the same quality. The point isn't connecting it to an HDMI screen, I have a dozen ways to do that. The point is image quality. The N64 outputs at best an SVID signal natively. And most MultiAV HDMI cables don't even use the svid lines and instead use the composite video input, perform a VERY basic conversion, and call it good. Usually chroma issues. And unless you're buying it from a company that specifically stocks HDMI adapters for retro consoles, you can be dealing with latency, tearing, and other issues. My (unmodified) SNES, by comparison, outputs an image essentially free of artifacting, by using its native RGB output via a component video cable to a TV which has analog component support. The N64 lacks a native RGB output, so the only option for a comparable mod is to tap the RGB video output directly from the RCP.

[@NL_the_Godfather]

@@devikwolf ok thanks for explaining. I myself will stick to this adapter though because it’s so much cheaper. Only cost me €10,-. I usually play N64 on emulators anyway and not that often in general. So over €100,- is to much for me excluding the fact that it still needs to be soldered correctly. If it was cheaper and plug and play i will certainly consider it.

[@ToxcynTV]

Yes! Thanks for the Video. I preordered a few weeks ago and I’ll be using this as my guide.

[@atsz.]

I like that you can just get a clean de-blurred signal out of it. Then you can feed it into your retrotink5x via an hdmi to component adapter and use that for all your advanced features.

Great video! I wish I was that skilled with a soldering iron. I'm confused. Why is 720p integer scaling windowed? 240*3=720. It should fit the full 720p canvas. It looks more like 480p windowed in a 720p box. Am I missing something?

[@vaguerant]

I had the same reaction. There are some N64 games which ran natively at 480i, so I guess the scaling is based on that as a baseline? 1.5*480=720. So the 1.5x scale should in theory be a perfect 3x scale for games that ran at 240p, which is the vast majority of them, but non-integer for 480i games.

[@cactoidpinata]

@@vaguerant so, the few 480i games would fill the screen vertically? That’s interesting. I can’t remember if any games switch between 480i and 240p, but that sure would be jarring.

[@vaguerant]

@@cactoidpinata I think it's more like 240p games are already being upscaled to 480p at all times, so that it doesn't matter which resolution the game runs at.

I'd like to see a comparison N64 HDMI kits picture quality with an OSSC or retrotink scalers

[@TooBokoo]

As neat as this kit is, I don't even see the price as that big of an advantage. It's only $90 cheaper than the N64 Digital. If someone cares about the N64 enough to install this kit or have someone install it, why not just save up for another two weeks and get an N64 Digital? There are so many more features, especially if you're an N64 super-fan, which I'd imagine you'd be if you were buying either of these kits. If the kit was sub $100, I'd say sure, but it's really not that much cheaper in the grand scheme of things. That said, since the N64 Digital is currently out of stock with no solid ETA of a restock, I suppose this other kit might make sense, since you have no other choice.

I for one, do not like all the features. I want my mod to be as straight forward as it can get. In fact, I'd like to just have no features at all, the way the n64 used to just plug into my tv and just work when it first came out lol.

I wouldn't call £120 budget

[@TheGoatPC]

Low budget friendly is what you mean. BUDGET is how much you have to spend on a product. Budget doesn't mean cheap.

My favorite mods are always the ones that let you keep the analog out port. Never liked removing those as I do tend to use old consoles on my CRT. I also like CRT filters but they never seem to get them right outside of stuff like the OSSC and the Retrotink

Aliexpress has em now for 39.99 now if they are bieng scalped for anyone interested

[@cbk12]

What do they have?

[@ogxboxmike]

PixelFX announced a budget version of their HDMI mods the day after you posted this video. They will be doing a $99 Lite version.

[@Acemans]

i would love to see more about this. You have more videos on this planned?

[@KyleFalconer1]

looks good, and I'm glad that there's another option out there, but I reeeally hate that all kits are using the mini HDMI port and not a full-sized port.

[@borti-fd7gj]

N64Adv2 is using a full-size port 👌

[@JS-oi5jt]

Why... just buy a $5 adapter. or a dedicated cable for a little bit more. Why does it need to be dull sized...

[@joseluisruiz3789]

Interesting, i have the Retro Active Ultra HDMI kit on my N64 that i installed back in 2017 and thought that that kit was the first company to make a HDMI mod for the N64. This is new to me but a whole lot cheaper than what i paid. Glad there is still mod support for the N64 though. 😎👌

[@NL_the_Godfather]

What did u end up paying?

[@toxofoz6233]

Well I just pre-ordered this mod. Used your coupon code to knock $11 off the price. Will go great in my N64Jr , Going to have to practice soldering a bit before it arrives as I haven't modded a console in a decade.

[@TonyDrecaps]

Great video and great tutorial! You should keep doing more soldering mod videos 👍

[@SLYZANY]

this is great! but i stick with my old school sony tv ^_^
