As far as I know, yes. Some later models let you pick NTSC/PAL/AUTO - many later VCRs did it too.retroking1981 wrote:@So am I right in thinking its more to do with newer TVs allowing colour output via composite?
My JP GC doesn't output RGB - only composite or s-video. Was a bit of a shock to me that I couldn't use it on my CRT. Unless I need a special JP RGB SCART cable?retroking1981 wrote:Gamecube though?? That's RGB or was that a little typo on your part?
retroking1981 wrote:Also I'm not sure how much it means to you but there's an amazing HMDI N64 mod out there. From what I've seen/heard on youtube its the only way to play N64 on modern TVs. Didn't very early N64 JPN models have RGB? Or at least the boards had it enabled making them very easy to mod? Ilove the N64 but that lasck of RBG was a killer. The difference between composite and RGB is fucking huge.

retroking1981 wrote:@optimark_prime thanks for posting that review.
Good to know the emulation is top notch on it, shame it doesn't work with standard 3 button pads though.
Looks like a decent product though, good stuff.
retroking1981 wrote:Haha one your quite passionate about then? I enforced a rule on myself that a console must have 5-10 exclusive games that are must haves in order to warrant keeping it a few years back. The thought of buying a JPN console for one game is bonkers to me but good on you. Pacman VS came out on the Switch this weekend btw, I know your a fan so thought I'd let you know.
