N64 RGB Amplifier (IC Based)
Quality RGB output for NTSC (US/JP) Nintendo 64 is possible by building a simple video amplifier/driver based off of the NJM2267. As a rule of thumb, only Nintendo 64 systems with serial numbers starting with NS1xxxxxxxx (US) or less than NUJ133xxxxx (JP) have the 'VDC-NUS' or 'VDC-NUS A' ICs that exposes RGB output for use in this mod. Newer models use different ICs that cannot be tapped for RGB modification.

This build also contains a fourth set of components for an additional signal, though is not applicable for the N64, as composite sync is already wired to the AV output connector! :)

Notes
This modification has been tested out on several XRGB-3 units and a Sony PVM-2030 with perfect results!
