This NES Clone Has RGB, S-Video And HDMI Output

Honestly looks pretty cool.

That is A LOT of money

Looks cool, but i have no NES Games and a Mister and i will not start to collect, toooo pricey

I will stay with my beloved Super Nintendo and that Collection

That thing is beautiful to me.

Nice. Always good to have more FPGA NES clones out there since Analogue has discontinued theirs.

I have a Retro AVS and absolutely love it. I have yet to run into an emulation issue, and it works perfectly with an Everdrive. It's a high quality product despite the rinky-dink webpage you order them from.

This might be a nice alternative if I needed the additional outputs, but I'm good with HDMI only.

@Poodlestargenerica A lot cheaper than the total for an Analogue console plus the DAC and their absurd shipping prices, and it works out the box one assumes.

It’s the composite connection that grabs me. Is this the only FPGA to have built in composite?

@bryce951 Its probably a fine deal relative to other options, I'm just saying it's a lot regardless.

@Poodlestargenerica It is, but unwitting folks are already paying $150 for used, stock NESes out there now.

And an NESRGB mod by itself is $100 and you have to install yourself. And we haven't even gotten to HDMI yet.

Not that this is a product for everybody, but for what it's giving you out of the box, is actually a very good value.

@Azuris Actually most NES game I see used are still like 10-20 bucks loose.

Used places are trying to scam you into paying like $60 for Zelda 1 but deals are to be had everywhere.

The NES was so popular there are still a billion copies out there of so many games.

Like I just got Cobra Triangle for less than $15 on ebay. So many fantastic games are still cheap.

Anyone tested light gun games on RGB? I know it's an FPGA, but you never know how accurate these things are.

@GhaleonUnlimited

In Europe it wasn't as widespread, depending the Country, you had more Commodore 64, Amstrad etc.
So the Prices are worse here, sadly also for the Super Nintendo, even if it was way way more around.
If i wouldn't have all those Games since my Childhood, i think i wouldn't collect them Nowadays

With shipping to Sweden, it totals to around 600 euros.
No thanks!

@GhaleonUnlimited Yeah it sound like NES console prices have just spiked more than I realized. I remember when they were basically free.

@Poodlestargenerica When I walk into the regional chain I've been frequenting since the early '00s see every major console for $150 when I remember them on the same shelves for $40 "not that long ago" (that's how it feels), it's surreal.

Youtubers have really ruined how fun, innocent and inexpensive videogame appreciation used to be

@Azuris how long was Commodore popular in parts of EUR? We got one in '86 and I loved it, but the NES was plastered and demoed all over stores by '87 and I think that was kind of the end for gaming on the C64 in the States AFAIK

@DestructoDisk AFAIK lightgun functionality is a TV thing, not a software thing, so someone can correct me but I think it would work totally fine

And actually there are fanhacks for NES shooters now to make them work on HDTVs. No idea how that works but they're on RHDN for Duck Hunt etc

I love my AVS. Sticking with it, but this is pretty cool anyways.

@GhaleonUnlimited It’s actually both. You need a CRT to get a fast enough picture displayed for a lightgun. But also the consoles software (programming of the fpga) has to be fast enough too, in reading controller input. Part of this system is FPGA, and part of it is real hardware. Without knowing what the FPGA controls and how it controls it, its hard to say if it will process inputs and signals fast enough. So I am hoping someone tests this.

"Retro Family Computer" is someone hedging their bets on how much Nintendo will care. Almost certainly Nintendo would still have the name Family Computer trademarked.
Though taking another look, while I have no understanding of the Chinese on the linked website... this looks to be someone selling consoles using modified genuine PCBs.

@GhaleonUnlimited From what I understand, how the NES Zapper even worked is that, after the trigger was pressed, the game software would expect the gun to sense a blank frame for one frame (dispelling the rumor that you could point the Zapper directly at a lit light bulb to register a hit every time), before the game cycles through a process of blanking out the screen except for placing white box over each of the possible targets for one frame. Which frame the Zapper registered a hit would indicate which target would be registered by the software. (the NES Zapper tech apparently primitive enough it could only sense whether or not it hit "something" but not what, apparently even the Master System gun released a couple years later had some ability to detect screen position)
The problem is that the NES Zapper games had that timing corresponding to CRTs, I would guess a patch would update the timing to reflect something friendlier to modern TVs.

@GhaleonUnlimited
Well, can't tell it for sure, i was very young, but for me until the Super Nintendo came out and i do remember that there were still Floppies sold 1992 in Super Markets comparable to something like Walmart/Tesco in the US.

@DestructoDisk great breakdown!

@GhaleonUnlimited YouTubers tend to take big offense whenever anyone blames them for prices going up.

Of course the counter to that is : "Two Words : Hidden Gems".

A Youtuber says the cursed words "Hidden Gem", and a price instantly skyrockets.

@AllieKitsune Sometimes I'm glad that people would rather watch those guys than read long articles. I'm constantly discovering new games through HG101 and often look them up on ebay immediately, and so many random games are still cheap (and if not the JP ver likely is!)
