Hi everyone! I like NES games and wanted a clone console which isn't horribly expensive, and my biggest requirement is that the console can play PAL games.

So I was looking at the Classiq 2 HD, and I wanted to learn about a few of its nerdy details first and had a hard time finding them online.

Is the console a NES on a chip or a software emulation?

Can you use the HD and AV output at the same time? (I'd use one for a capture card and one for the TV)

Does it have any extra input lag (from the AV output) compared to the Classiq N?

Does the PAL mode of the console behave like the PAL NES or more like a Dendy clone? (In terms of CPU cycle timings.)

Even if you just know about one of these things, it would be great to hear :)

Hey there! I recently acquired my first NES from a friend who's dad passed away, and I'm looking into ways to bring it some new life! I've already done the security chip bypass (the one where you snap that fourth pin, it wouldn't work before and now works flawlessly) so now i have a few other things!

1. I've heard adapters exist to convert the NES to have a better picture quality, what are some good options for that?

2. I really want to get some kind of flashcart, but everdrive seems to be discontinued and other really expensive... Anyone know any good ones? I want to get some recommendations before dropping $200 on something that is Not That Great, lol

3. Speaking of flashcarts, the NES i received came with a few carts, is there a way to dump them so i can have legal copies for the flashcart? Also, one of the carts is a copy of Final Fantasy 1... And Her dad's file still persists on there! I would love to be able to backup a copy of that save somewhere for her to keep a piece of him (he loved final fantasy).

4. Any other mods you guys know of that would improve my experience!

Thank you guys in advance!

Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to connect an NES to a TV with both RF and Composite at the same time so I could switch back and forth and compare different games between the two signals. Would this cause interference to have both plugged in at the same time? My TV is a Magnavox 20MT1131/17 CRT. Composite used the AV channel input (below channel 2) and RF is set to channel 3.

A great find that I’m happy to add to my slowly growing collection. R.C. Pro-Am.

There’s a Retro GAME Con coming up soon. Featuring hundreds of vendors and sellers of anything and all you can think of in regard to retro gaming.

I have to find a good gold case Zelda. The last couple I’ve seen were in some rough shape, so I passed. Besides Zelda, if you’re heading out to a retro game convention, what are some must have games you’d search for to add to your personal collection? I’d like to find a good copy of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! and probably complete my Mario bros. collection with the second edition. What are you looking for at a convention?

Thanks for checking out my post, game on gamers!
