Nintendo 64: RGB Compatibility - Pogue-Mahone - 11-11-2013
Do mods count as trivia? I'm submitting this based on the fact that Nintendo put the right stuff into earlier versions of the N64 Motherboard to output an RGB Signal, yet opted out because RGB wasn't popular at the time, but left the motherboard as is. Anyways...
Nintendo removed the Nintendo 64's ability to use RGB output (SCART/Component), but earlier versions of the console still have the ability to do so. An RGB signal can be achieved on the N64 by simply jumping a few wires on the motherboard and adding a few more electronic components.
