N64RGB Frequently Asked Questions
How to use the de-blur feature.
De-blur can be activated by a mechanical switch or a controller button combination. By default, the feature is off when the console starts and the button combination may be used to enable it. If you would like the de-blur feature to be enabled by default then connect a wire between the SW and GND pads on the N64RGB board.
The de-blur feature affects the output of the N64RGB board - that is RGB and component video (version 3 hardware). It has no effect on the original composite and s-video outputs. The feature may be switched on/off at any time with the mechanical switch, or any time the console console is running with the controller button combination.
Why is there a mechanical switch option for de-blur? How is it wired?
Earlier versions of the board did not support toggling the de-blur via the controller. It was done with a small mechanical switch that pokes out though a ventilation slot on the side of the console. This method of switching de-blur on and off is still supported for those that want it.
The switch has two rows of three pins. Pick one row and solder a wire from the middle pin to the SW pad on the N64RGB board. Then pick one of the end pins of the same row and solder a wire from it to one of the GND pads.
There are lot of different Multi-AV Nintendo RGB cables available. Which one should I buy?
While the N64RGB can support all the different cables, if you are buying one I recommend the NTSC Super Nintendo RGB cable. This has nothing to do with console itself. Even if you are installing the N64RGB into a PAL console you should still buy an NTSC Super Nintendo RGB cable.
Some merchants offer cables with different sync options. Sync on composite video, sync on luma, and TTL sync. They all work. Just be aware that sync on composite video may introduce noise into the RGB video signal if the cable is not of high quality.
What is the best way to wire the N64RGB board to the Multi AV connector?
Short answer: Connect Red to 1, Green to 2, CS# to 3, Blue to 4, GND to 5. Leave JP1, JP2, Jp3 open. Keep the video signals output wires away from the digital video input wires.
