I... can't deal with the awful video of the RF unit any more. But I have zero skills with soldering and am in no mood to experiment with my nes that I've had for 30 years. Do any of your nerds know a good modder? I don't really know who to trust with my baby over the internet. Composite would be better than nothing but hdmi would be even better.

Too bad NES Classic and SNES Classic got so expensive and it's such a minefield trying to find a legit one, as they're both incredible for playing NES/SNES over HDMI. I softmodded my SNES Classic to play NES games and with the NES Classic controller it feels like the real thing. Same for SNES with the SNES Classic controller with a very few exceptions (e.g. one of the Street Fighter Alpha games doesn't work). That system was the first time I could play Super Mario World again with my finger holding down the run button the entire time just like when I played on my real SNES 30+ years ago and it's funny how quickly the muscle memory came back playing emulation that felt like the real thing vs how awkward Super Mario World felt any other time I tried it in emulation.

Oh I already have a NES classic, plus the Super Famicom classic due to an incredible couple of guys on this board. But in greedy fashion, I hoped to get my vintage setup working its best too...
