Japanese RF into a EU tv

CiDeRmAn · 2018-10-19 14:56:52

So, I'm looking at an old Nintendo console, Block Kuzushi, a dedicated machine that plays a couple of versions of Breakout. Only thing is it only has a RF output, natural given it's vintage. Anyone out there know if such a console is easily connected to a EU television? Or if an AV mod is easier?

Pretty sure it’ll need an AV mod of some description

Not sure about "newer "tvs that support NTSC though maybe they can lock onto the signals

Just seeing that thing you linked too and don't see why it wouldn't work
