Another Free Nintendo 64 system -updated Jan 24th

[Black Tiger]

The winner is Bernie!


I also have another North American Nintendo 64 that anyone can have for free, if you happen to live somewhere that it's worthwhile to pay to for the shipping. It doesn't have any hookups and I swapped the innards into a different shell. When I put it back together, I missed a couple tiny pieces of shielding for around the expansion port. It likely works fine, but I can include shielding if you want to open it up and stick them back in.




I have a Nintendo 64 system modified for RGB by the famous doujindance. Once again, I figured I'd give him one last chance, since the other RGB modded systems I found at the time were overpriced. Unfortunately, once again, I can't make use of the RGB with my component transcoder, framemeister or RGB monitor. Once again, he said that I must use official Japanese Nintendo RGB cables on an official Japanese RGB monitor or TV and that he tested it before shipping.

Since he has a legion of fans who love his work and many people here talk about how happy they are with his systems, there should be some people here who will have no trouble using this system and hopefully some of you are interested in the N64. It is just the base console, without any hookups. It is a Japanese system.

As with most of my giveaways, anyone is free to opt in and I'll choose the recipient however I like.

"Winner" pays for shipping by Canada Post.

Nice giveaway! What type of monitor have you been trying to use?

[ClodBuster]

I'd seriously like to enter your raffle... But since all my N64 cartridges are from PAL region, I guess they would be no use on a NTSC-J console unless it got region modded as well.

if you haven't got a new one yet, i could trade you for a US RGB modded n64.  I have a few extras.  wouldn't mind having a Japanese system.
although he probably put epoxy over a bunch of shit inside so not sure id be able to fix it.  not sure how he modded it but it sounds like something isn't right.

send me a pm if you are interested.

Hmm.  After reading this, I can't remember whether or not I have tried hooking my doujundance-modded Duo-R to my Framemeister...

my duojindance duo-r (that i have since sold) worked fine with the framemeister.

Black Tiger, what cable are you using.  Wondering if maybe if c-sync isnt available on that board and maybe you are using a c-sync cable.

Sure I don't have a JP region N64.

Didn't even know the N64 could do RGB

[Bloufo]

From what I've heard, the 'Ultra HDMI' mod for the N64 is the way to go.

Sure, add me please.

I'm sure it's something that we could help you sort out. Sounds like the sync isn't on the right pins for your set up. If you are just done with it though enter me and I can get if fixed, I've done some RGB 64's for some friends but don't have one myself

[Black Tiger]

I've tried what I believe to be non-c-sync cables (old ones from eBay) and the c-sync ones I have from retrogamingcables. The picture is distorted.

I've been waiting until I have the time and energy to create a thread asking for help with the few consoles I have RGB problems with, by providing pics, video and detailed info. In the meantime, I found a seller asking an appropriate price for an RGB N64 confirmed to work with things like the framemeister and he included the LED replacement I wanted. So I'd rather just give this one away as-is and let someone else figure it out.

How would this hook up to a crt in 240p?

[Arkhan]

I have a friend who could use this only because he lost his RGB modded N64 in a flood lol.  I am sure he'd pay shipping.

[wilykat]

Add me!  I can always try my RGB monitors, it's a tad forgiving but it is old.

[sirhcman]

I was on the fence but if you don't mind adding me as well I would appreciate it. I have 2 pvm's I'd like to try it on and a few cables. If I can't get it to work I will send it off to one of the forum fixers here to get it going

Thanks for offering to the community, please keep us apprised when you get the new system and how the quality is!

[Black Tiger]

I'll pick a "winner" when I have time to get it sent off wiithin a reasonable time frame. If not this weekend, then probably January 10th.
