N64 RGB Amplifier (IC Based)
High quality RGB output from early NTSC (US/JP) Nintendo 64 systems 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 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. For more details, visit this thread.
Credit for this mod must be given to “Baku” :D and is based off of his site here.

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!
