So isn't the "easy answer" to consolize an actual PC10 rather than waste all this effort swapping PPU's?

If that one wire is properly shielded, it's distance from the board should be irrelevant.

That was for a clean composite video mod. And the interference only affected the wire when it was pretty much right against the pcb. Also composite is very blurry had it been rgb I'm sure you would have seen interference no matter where the wire was. I wired up a rgb setup with the wires not coming anywhere near the pcb and still the interference was there. The interference is in the entire system not just the video out wires, like I said.

Apparently the board you're using to mod wasn't designed good....but yet shielding wire would make all that irrelevant no matter what. How about you try it?

we have tried shielding. The kits we use already have the ppu raised off of the pcb. This has nothing to do with the kit pcb I had the same amount of jailbars before I started using these kits

glad to know someone here has half a brain

Is there any sort of shielding mat you can buy to cover the PCB.

Maybe this is why Nintendo had the extensive shielding within the toaster, so all the rest of the electronics around the NES wouldn't pick up the excessive noise it output.

you can surround the nes or famicom pcb in as much shielding as you want. That won't change anything. The interference comes from the pcb layout itself. To fix it you'd probably have to rewire the entire pcb...it's not worth the effort.

The NES is digital, the only interference that would hurt the PPU's video is interference on the video output pins... -facepalm- So...you're using logic wire to hook up video? heh.

the wires don't need shielding it only picks up interference when it's super close to the pcb. Trust me I can have the s-video and rgb wires go completely away from the pcb and the interference is still there. The interference is all over the system you just don't normally see it because composite video makes it too blurry to notice.
