French NES avec RGB? - Page 1

Please forgive my horrible machine-translated French.

I have seen that Nintendo released a NES with RGB in France, and I'm looking for some information about it.

1. Do all French NES systems have the RGB connector?
2. Is this system rare in France?
3. Is it real RGB, or is the normal video converted to RGB?
4. Can anyone here get one for me?

Thanks,

Lawrence.

Veuillez pardonner mon français traduit par ordinateur horrible.

J'ai vu que Nintendo a libéré un NES avec le RVB en France, et je recherche quelques informations sur elles.

1. Les systèmes tout français de NES ont-ils le connecteur de RVB ?
2. Ce système est-il rare en France ?
3. Est-ce vrai RVB, ou la vidéo normale est-elle convertie en RVB ?
4. Est-ce que n'importe qui peut ici obtenir un pour moi ?

Merci,

Lawrence.

Hi neogeoman, nice to see you again :
So,
1 - Yes all French NES come with a RGB connector,
2 - No the system is very commun,
3 - What do you mean by normal video : composite ?
4 - If you want a complet unit without box, i can try to look, i tell you later.

[Pour tout le monde] si vous avez un NES à vendre à neogeoman (pas chère, hein ?) laissez lui un message ici !!

1. Oh, neat. It's the only one.
3. Yes, composite video. Some Famicom systems (the Famicom Titler, FamicomTV, and maybe the Dataship as well as the Playchoice 10) have real RGB chips. I've been told the French NES has _very_ poor RGB, and is probably the composite video converted. =(
4. Yes, a no-box unit would be great, all I need is the system and RGB cable.

Thanks very much!

1 - Yeah, i've already heard that
3 - Don't really know about the composite, but the picture is poor (look like a washed picture some time)

Still try to find one at good price... Once i find something for you, i send a email !!

The french NES unit use a Scart connector

godzil :
The french NES unit use a Scart connector

you can have RGB in a scart connecor

I now that fact, the SCART (known as "péritel" in french) have syncronisation, RGB, S-Video, Composite and more signal, like "Switch to AV".

I'm not sure of that, but I think the french video cable of the NES use Composite or SVideo signals, not RGB (like the SNES/N64/GC does)

The connector on te NES unit is slightly different from the one who use for the first time with the SNES (unlike that can say Nintendo, all SNES, N64, GC cables are the same, just see the reference on GC video cable : SMC-xxx since the 3 first letter identify the unit

FAM is for Famicom/NES
SMC is for Super faMiCom/SNES
NUL for the N64 (Nintendo ULtra64)
and DOL for the GC (DOLphin)

From NES technical FAQ :
"Can I get RGB video from my NES?
No. Absolutely not. The NES generates composite video, and nothing better, directly from its PPU. There are NES units that do output RGB signals, but they are only: 1) Units which Nintendo used in-house to take game screenshots, 2) Play Choice 10 arcade units, and 3) French NES units, which may or may not generate an RGB signal natively. Sorry."

I thing we have to take a look, someone know where we can find official product info (in french, of course)

If you want in some day, I will open one of my NES and look for what sort of generated signal it does.. But i'm not sure they use RGB. In some circonstance my NES don't display unlike my SNES, N64 or GC in RGB mode..

I've got the answer :
"Et sur NES francaise, apparement le chip a été modifié pour sortir en RVB l'equivalent du signal composite (conversion composite->RGB intégré apparement...)...bref ca nous sort un signal en RGB mais qui a un sacré gout de composite"

And on French NES, apparently the chip was modified to have in the RVB the equivalent of the composite signal (apparently the composite conversion is onchip integrated)... So it's a signal in RGB but with a taste of composite

Je pense que c'est ça en fait, mais il semblerait qu'il y ai eu plusieur "revison" de la nes française, si quelqu'un en à plusieur, peut-il vérifier ?

j'en ai deux et surement deux génération différente (une vielle datant presque du début de la console en france, et une bcp plus recente qui date de la fin de la console, mais apparement il n'y a pas de grosse différence en niveau hard.... (j'ai deja démonté les deux dans le passé et je n'y avais jamais vu de grosse différences..)

Edit English:
I got two NES unit, and surel two different generation, one of the first which was sold in france, and on of the latest we can found. I've already open them, but I never notice a huge difference bitween them.

Merci en tout cas godzil

Moi j'en ai eu pas mal entre les mains (vive les brocantes !) et je n'ai jamais remarqué de reeles difference de qualité d'image

Si vous etes toujours interesser j'ai démonté ma vielle NES je peut faire un scan de la CM

Oui c'est toujours interressant !
