No, I haven't played around with the Video/Audio out signals on J5 yet.  Unfortunately I don't use a TV; my test NES is tied to a video capture card on my workstation.  I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell much difference if there were improvement in the video quality.

Yeah, I was hoping to give people a way to try out different mods without damaging their NES.  Originally it was only going to be for the ethernet adapter.  But then I figured I'd be a bit of a jerk if I was the only one with the EXP connectors and only used them to support my project.  This way people have access to all the signals and can do as they please. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=80292 2012-08-08T19:35:27 -05.00 Chykn 9
Have you tried video and audio out from the board? I'm curious if you can use a nice video encoder to get really clean video out from it. I notice that there are plenty of options with the way you designed it. Very cool. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=80292 2012-08-08T14:44:31 -05.00 Chykn 9
Shameless plug - if anyone is interested in an EXP board, shoot me a PM.  Trying to fund a batch run of the CPU boards!  ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=80292 2012-08-08T02:00:42 -05.00 Chykn 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=80292 2012-08-02T03:44:03 -05.00 Chykn 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=80292 2012-08-02T03:24:36 -05.00 Chykn 9

Extended NES I/O.  The goal is to make an embeded ethernet/USB KB adapter for the NES.  The homemade EXP board pictured on the site is a bit different from the fabbed one in the link above.  I ended up moving the CPLD and 3.3v reg from the EXP board to the CPU board to make room for the FC EXP header.  Also added a 47K resistor between pins 3 & 9 on the EXP port for those who want audio in from the PowerPak without modding their NES.

I'm still waiting on the 16-pin R/A header from Digikey, but here's what the board looks like...

One problem - while I've verified that the signals are routed correctly, I don't have any FC peripherals.  Is there anyone out there with a Family Basic keyboard (or another 15-pin FC peripheral)  who could test this and maybe post a Youtube video for verification? ]]>
