Just got in @Furball 's old Famicom - Sent it off to get a NES RGB 4.0 done along with a recap. Here's a not super high bitrate (but good enough) video of how it turned out. Recorded using OBS via a RAD2X cable connected to the Famicom Top Loader on a GPD Pocket 3's HDMI input.
All original hardware, no emulation, just an Everdrive N8 Pro
