im thinkin of taking a toploader pin set and swaping it with mine to make a fixed slot where you dont have to push the cart down (no more loose or bent pins) either that or try to mod a top loader to output rcas and i cant forget about overclocking... decisions

the toploader can output composite video with a mod, although I've not seen detailed documentation of it. as for the top loader connector... just steal one from a game genie to save killing a top loader. if you stick with the toaster NES though overclocking it is dead easy, and really does smooth out play in a lot of games. just be sure to install a switch to select which clock you want to run at so if some games don't like being pushed you can run them at the normal clock.

Do games run faster when you overclock the NES?
I know of PC games that used to run on our school's 0386 PC. After some years we tried 'em on a Pentium and they were so fast you couldn't even control them anymore. :wink:

nope, the only downfall is that the pitch of the sound rises slightly. it doesn't fun faster because all of the video is running through the PPU, which usually ends up waiting on the CPU to complete instructions, when you overclock it the CPU waits on the PPU, which is just fine.
