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. Visit this thread for a serial number/RGB compat cross reference list.
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!

PLEASE NOTE!
