- Compatible with NTSC and PAL consoles
- Compatible with NES, Famicom, AV Famicom, and Twin Famicom consoles
- User selectable color palettes

Technical Details
The NESRGB board contains an Altera CPLD (complex programmable logic device) that utilizes the NES's PPU (picture processing unit) and CPU to generate an RGB video signal.
