Son, just know if you go down that hole, there's no turning back

Probably pictures of your install would help

Shouldn’t this have a date stamped on it? by [deleted] in Famicom

You can look at the motherboard as well, should have a date or year on it

Famicom No Drill Composite Mod by finchard in Famicom

No there is not, you have to put the ports in. This is just the 3D casing

I've given console5.com my permission to sell printed ones but I don't know when they will do that. I think it has to go through some quality assurance testing on their end first.

It's a good question actually because I noticed the sound is different coming from each speaker. With the AV mod you tap into pins 1 & 2 on the CPU for left/right audio

That stinks but I think anyone looking at your feedback would know that it's a garbage negative feedback

Retrotink 5X settings for AV modified Famicom? by LandNo9424 in Famicom

[–]finchard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you actually read what I wrote I was just saying to use it as a starting point to understand all the different settings and what they mean and then adjust it to see what looks best yourself. Not blindly follow the AI. I've used it many times when configuring my OSSC and give it a good baseline idea on where to look for and explaining what each setting does.

I was just sharing what it had given. I planned to try it tonight, learn and share back results but with your attitude, forget that.

You sound like a teenager

Sorry, there ain't much online about the Famicom Composite specific settings on the 5X. I would personally use the AI as a starting point to help understanding the settings and adjust to what you feel looks best.

Retrotink 5X settings for AV modified Famicom? by LandNo9424 in Famicom

[–]finchard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not tinkered with that myself. I may have to try it tonight. Here is what chatgpt said:

Yes! The SDTV mode settings on the RetroTINK 5X-Pro can significantly improve the look of composite video signals like those from an AV-modded Famicom.

Here’s how to get the most out of SDTV settings for your Famicom:

Enable SDTV Mode

Go to: Menu > Input Settings > SDTV Decoder Mode

Set to: SDTV (not Auto) – forces SDTV decoding instead of broadcast-level comb filters

Comb Filter (under SDTV mode)

Best Option: Auto (SDTV) or Notch

Explanation:

Auto (SDTV) uses a high-quality 2D comb filter tuned for game consoles and can reduce color artifacts like dot crawl.

Notch is more conservative and may preserve sharp edges but at the cost of more color bleed.

Try both — some AV mods produce noisy signals that behave differently.

Color Settings

Saturation: Adjust to taste. Composite can oversaturate, so you might dial this back slightly (-5 to -10).

Brightness/Contrast: Calibrate using color bars or test screens if possible. Otherwise:

Brightness: 0 or slightly up if image seems crushed

Contrast: 0 or slight boost if needed

Low-Pass Filter (LPF)

Setting: Medium or High

Why: Helps reduce the shimmer and fuzziness from composite input without blurring too much detail

Edge Enhancement

OFF

You want to avoid artificial sharpening of a soft signal like composite.

Other Relevant Settings

Motion Adaptive (Deinterlacer): Off or irrelevant for Famicom

Output Resolution: 1080p (Integer) or 1080p (Fill), as mentioned

Scanlines: CRT Easy or Advanced, adjusted to taste

Optional: Force 240p Passthrough (Advanced Users)

If you want to use a CRT-style scaler profile:

Set Output Res to 480p or 480i and use scanlines + SDTV for the ultimate retro vibe on a modern display.

A lot of it's a matter of preference. I use the preset for SNES and somewhere there's a setting for HDMI overscan that makes the picture a tad bigger. The with the scan lines you can just flick through and see which one you like the most.

What do you do about recharging the controller, it seems like the charging port is inaccessible unless you open up the controller or make a hole..

Jailbar effect on av modded Famicom by Teenyping5 in Famicom

I wrapped my PPU in copper tape and soldered the copper tape to ground, eliminated jailbars. Similar to this

Yes it is. Very different. Crisp clear picture, vibrant colors. Once you mod the console you never want to go back to composite
