Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

I just had a random thought! With the composite video for the NES, how come the picture looked sharp on a CRT back in the 90's? Is it because the TV and the NES both are analog? I learned about Cathode Ray Tubes in college? But, I don't really understand why a NES with a CRT would look better than h...

Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

Another comment I would like to add is that I am going to eventually buy a RGB modded Nintendo NES! They say that this mod makes the NES look WAY better. I suspect the reason for this is that there is no demodulation, ie there is only one signal per wire. The wires are Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal, ...

Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

Yea, I have a TCL 49S403 4K HDR TV. It is big and all, which rules for video gaming. If you plug the NES into the TV directly, the picture looks really bad. So, I bought the $400 XGRB-mini upscaler, and it looks way better. I plugged the NES into the Framemeister, and hooked an HDMI cable between th...

Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

Yes, I hooked up a RCA to S-Video adapter to the NES yellow port. I hooked up a Monster S-Video cable to the XRGB-mini and to the NES RCA/S-Video adapter, and it looks way better! If you then also convert the S-Video back to Composite with an adapter, and hook that into the Framemeister, it looks wo...

Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

Thanks for your help! I am actually using the Framemeister XRGB-mini. I did notice that if I use S-Video instead of Composite, the image quality looks better. Even if I just convert the NES yellow jack right away to S-Video, and plug in a S-Video cable into this and into the Framemesiter, that the i...

Re: NES Low-Pass Filter?

With composite decoding, are you talking about the two RCA ports on the NES? Or, something else?

NES Low-Pass Filter?

Hi all, I am going to RGB mod my NES and I have a question before I begin: Does the original Nintendo NES use a low-pass filter at all? Because it seems for the RGB modded NES, there is a chip (THS7374) on it to turn the filter on or off. Also, I am getting slightly blurry pixels around my sprites t...
