It's safe to remove. I recommend disabling the RF modulator entirely to reduce the interference to the video signal and NESRGB operation. Removing the two transistor in the metal box should do it.Jeppen wrote: Is it safe to remove this?
I'm not going to use the RF or any of the switches on this board.
If the audio continues to work and game plays then it's porbably CHR bus data corruption - there's a bad connection somewhere. As a first step I would resolder pins 23-39 on the NESRGB and adapter. It's not related to the RAM chip in the NESRGB as that only stores colours.TechyTom wrote:Hey all,, I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in some direction for this problem I started having just recently. I'm using a second batch NESRGB in a US toploader, of which I had one of the chips replaced because of the whole error that was in the second batch. Every now and then I would have a garbled image on the screen while playing, at first I thought it was all just from having dirty connections on the cart pin connections (because it would go away after reinserting the cart a couple times), but after polishing everything up it still happens,.
This is currently what I am getting off my NES http://i.imgur.com/OFWdqzu.png (This is the castlevania intro)
That screencap was taking just after I had replaced the SRAM, WRAM, CPU, and PPU with parts from a working toaster I had lying around. to be more precise I had the console open turned it on to test it, and got another garbled image, but it fixed itself shortly after and then went back down hill after a few minutes of playing. Does anyone have any ideas of what might be the problem?
Does the problem go away if the NESRGB is removed and the PPU is replaced in its original position?
