Below are some screenshots of the new UltraHDMI N64 mod in action at 720p output mode. We’ve tried to show the different scaling modes and how they all compare. There’s also a comparison shot of the mod versus the upscaling on an XRGB Mini. If you need to download these pictures for analysis, use the link here.
Remember if you want one of these fantastic little mods, please contact us so I can put you on the waiting list. A full review of the unit can be found here.
First of all we have the title screen from Paper Mario. The left side of the image shows the standard image, the right hand side shows the de-blur filter in action.

The left side of the image shows the de-blur filter, the right hand side shows the de-blur filter and the integer plus scaling mode.

Left shows the XRGB Mini, right shows the UltraHDMI. The Mini actually holds its own better on this game than some others.

Standard de-blur on the left, de-blur and integer plus on the right.

Here’s how Goldeneye looks in standard de-blur and integer plus, standard on the left integer plus on the right.
