So, I've been hunting for a original model Famicom on eBay and I've been seeing these composite modded consoles being sold there, since the original Famicom only supports RF, I found this interesting.
Unfortunately, they only support regular composite cables and I haven't seen which
has the Nintendo Multi-AV Out let alone S-Video or RGB.
Now, my question is, are there any original model Famicom mods with the Nintendo Multi-AV Out and RGB support?
I am looking for one so I can use an SNES HD Retrovision component cable on an original Famicom.
>inb4 look for an NES, you weeb
I prefer the design on the Famicom and I can use an Everdrive anyways to play in English if I wanted to. Also, all NESes only support composite or RF without mods, and if I need mods, I can just go for a Famicom instead.
>inb4 go for the AV Famicom
The microphone is needed for the Japanese versions of games like Kid Icarus, Zelda I andTakeshi no Chousenjou. And the AV Famicom doesn't have the microphone on Player 2. Also, the appearance of the original Famicom is more classic.
Again, I need component cables for it to work on my CRT which only supports composite, S-Video and component..
Short answer is no.
As far as I know nobody has mass produced the Nintendo AV out meaning it'd have to get harvested from another console. Furthermore the Famicom doesn't naturally produce RGB, I am not qualified to explain exactly how its video works but the best you can get from it naturally is composite. There is a board that can be installed to produce RGB but it's not exactly authentic. This board was meant to be fitted in an NES and requires an adapter board and some awkward squeezing and cutting to fit in the much smaller Famicom so people generally go for the AV Famicom instead.
I'd just stick with a composite mod and get an RGB modded AV Famicom for non-microphone purposes.

RGB =/= Component
You need a component encoder for the component cables to work. Installing just the multi out isn't enough. I've never heard of someone installing such a mod anyway. Just go RGB and use a SCART to Component converter to save some money.

Any RGB mod that you stick a multi connector on will have well both. No idea if anyone has done it but if you do an RGB mod it's easy enough to use whatever connector you want.

Ya figger?

I use those SNES HD RetroVision component cables which convert the RGB sigbal to component. They also work pretty well with the N64 and PAL GameCube, though the Digital AV Out works better for the GameCube but the component cables for that are ridiculously expensive.
And in case that doesn't work.
Then just screw it and use the composite cable the console comes with until I can find a way to play an original Famicom with component without the need for converters.
Better than RF, anyway.
And in case the RGB mods aren't authentic, I'm okay with that.

The famicom AV had an SNES style multi out, but it is only wired for composite. You'll have to use the NESRGB to mod it to output anything else. Its a fairly involved mod. Composite mod on an original famicom isn't that hard to do yourself if you can use a soldering iron.

Actually to be maximally autistic RGB is a *type* of component video, as is YPbPr. Although the latter is usually what is usually meant colloquially when you say "Component Video"
