Famicom on Bang & Olufsen (Picture Black and white!)

[speedlolita]

The regular Famicom has a crap composite signal, AV Famicom is the one to get for composite.

I'm sure my other AV Modded famicom had a nicer picture...maybe a crt will help it (I hope)

[speedlolita]

Well, there are some methods that give a better image than others.

Composite will look better on a CRT for sure though, that is what the shadow mask is for... R-Right?

My little bro just came round, altered the colours on the LCD (for now) and that has helped already.
Its nice to have a famicom back :-) just need a nice crt again now :-)

[speedlolita]

Seems like a waste since you have your B&O. Maybe a Famicom can be modded to output PAL compatible composite colour.

Played some Arkanoid. Then played a lot of donkey kong jnr. Enjoying that. When I have a bit more money, I'm going to buy the original DK hacked game that plays the same as the arcade original (cement mixer level) maybe get a spinner for arkanoid (depending if there is anything else in the arkanoid family...I'm sure there is another...)

Is the Toshiba set the only CRT with a 19" screen as far as consumer TV's go...

[ShadowDancer]

Hiya again guys...please could someone confirm what I actually need to buy to get a colour image on my B&O..(with famicom)
can I buy a converter that will plug into the mains and cables...will that work...I'm not sure what to buy.
Thank You :-)

Thanks Base, will this defo work...am I compromising anything using my famicom this way?
Thank you for help man.

EDIT

Is there anything I can buy that will run off a mains plug. I Can't really use a USB to power it...

[speedlolita]

Buy a USB plug, or use the one that you almost certainly should already have from your phone!

[ShadowDancer]

Hides, yes you may laugh at me...I forgot about USB Plugs....
Okay...i'll buy that, i guess i put my famicom cables into that, what do i buy to put into the tv from the converter...
thank you...

[speedlolita]

Should just need some male to male RCA cables.

[ShadowDancer]

Thank you. Sorry for being docile, so much going on right now. I defo need games for escapism and fun!

[speedlolita]

Well, I hope you get it all sorted.

[ShadowDancer]

Thank You Speedy, Thank you too Base. I'm kind of reluctant to let go of the B&O because, well, not so much stylish, although I do think it looks nice for a CRT. Its just got a nice back. Of course one day I'm going to have to get a Broadcast monitor, because, I've never heard anything but praise for them on all the retro forums I use. Even more affordable now, although, I don't think that may of been the case in the 80's?
