So, I went vertical.

As you can see here, it works fine.

But it doesn’t seem to be very effective.  Tested with a NTSC NES (To be more accurate, a PAL NES with NTSC PPU, CPU and crystal).  Colours initially were correct but degraded after a few seconds.  All the while with flickering green lines and generally unstable.

I’ve verified that al…Read more

I’d take a shot at it myself but my attempts so far at setting up a build environment have failed.  That and I don’t have the licence to…Read more

On a related note, does the decoding IC properly implement the delay line part of PAL decoding or is it something that is/will need to be simulated on the FPGA?

The price is at that point that I won’t mind putting a soldering iron to it to fit a local RF connector.
Do you have the rough dimensions of the module pcb? I might try to hunt down a suitable enclosure.

One, I don’t really have the room for the module to stick out the side of the main unit.  I’m thinking on making a short riser board to mount the module above the main unit inverted and facing inward of the main unit.  This would add about 4 to 5 cm to t…Read more
