VDC-NUS chip on PAL system

Post by Diminuendo »

would it be possible to replace the AVDC-NUS/MAV-NUS with a VDC-NUS chip, I know the two have different footprints, but would it be possible to connect the relitive legs of the chip up to where they belong with some wire? I ask this as it would be cheaper getting a VDC-NUS chip from America than it would a RGB compatable N64.

check this out, might be an option Replacement RGB Video DAC for Nintendo 64

He sells pre programmed chips.. I was talking to him about it a while ago, I think the price was 2 chips for $25 shipped (internationally)

I'd rather have a pinout for the VDC-NUS, his chip set-up is huge

If you made a PCB for it and/or used SMD resistors it wouldn't be so bad :P

ahh.. nope, it doesn't look like he has that on his site. But it would be the same quality as a normal N64 using RGB taken from the chip that supports it. all the resister ladders do is break apart the signal (I think)
