Looks like I'm about done on the software side. The things left:

* copynes
* updating via cart
* audio register viewer
* PCB redesign to fit in the toploader under the main PCB

Any idea if this would work with a Famicom AV? Really liking this so far.

Yes all nes and fami consoles using original cpu/ppu.

Here's update #7 from Kevtris:
This time I totally redo the board layout, and I took a time lapse video of me doing this. You can watch the board "grow" from nothing to completion!

CopyNES USB was added, a 5V buck regulator on-board, and a form-factor re-do so it will properly fit the toploader.

Enjoy!

No just no, The NES is ment for AV or RGB

I hate when people try to make older systems work with newer TV's like HDMI

[akaviolence]

It is RGB, just digital, which is how the chips communicate before it goes analog.
Same with audio...

I'm watching the video

How is it going to differ with the NES HDMI Bunnyboy is doing?

[akaviolence]

Bunnyboy is doing a full fpga ran clone console, we are doing an upgrade kit that will fit nearly all famicom/nes consoles.
His will only do 720p ours will do a full 1080p.
Those are the major points, but there's a ton of features the hi-def nes kit will have that bunny's doesn't.
Most of that stuff is listed in the first post of this thread.

New vid from Kevtris:

Update #8 is now posted. This time I show how I place the parts and reflow solder it in a modified toaster oven.

After a few more minor additions, I think it will be ready for the world.

I agree to some extent, but "hate" is a big word.

The way I see it, Tim Worthington already made the perfect video-solution for the NES when he introduced the NESRGB, but I still respect Kevtris for all the hard work he's putting into this.

For those that didn't see it here is the analogue NT running the hi-def kit scrolling through menu options:

Latest update from Kevtris:

Woot, I finally sent the stuff off so the HiDefNES boards are in production! I have also posted the final "pre production" update. I don't know how long it will be until I get boards in hand but I will probably post another update video when that happens.

Kevin's latest update:
Ooooh yeah. PCBs have arrived!

It won't be long now!

I have already had an email asking if this means it's time to ship their console to me!?!? LOL NO!
I know you all are very excited to get this done, but my request of 'please don't email us and bug us about this until concrete plans are put out there' is still in effect, sorry...
Kevin is close on his end, but he will only have 100 kits and we haven't decided how to sell them just yet. Not to mention they aren't really done yet and I don't have any in my possession yet. Nor do I want a bunch consoles to show up at my house waiting to be modded...

[akaviolence]

We have the first batch of kits now, but are not planning to sell any just yet so be patient, watch these vids for more info:
First look at kits and lots of talk with Kevtris:

First full instal on US top loader:

Ok the first 6 Hi-Def NES modded US top loaders are up for auction on ebay, just search nes hdmi.
They were a bit late as I had a hell of a time uploading them because ebay wouldn't let me upload them and they weren't specific enough about why so I had to try several times. Turns out you can use the word 'mod' in the title, but if you say kit they think it has bundled accessories and if you are listing in the consoles category and don't have the bundled accs option listed then it won't upload. I was doing this from misterlister or whatever that shitty prog is named now. Then they marked them as duplicates even though I used different pics for top and bottom shots on each auction and some different txt in description. I had to add the 3 numbers of the serial number to the title to get them to release all the auctions as not dupes, FK!!!
