NESRGB 5.0 fixing composite out

I want to restore composite out for my front loader with NESRGB 5.0. I found this thread from last year on how to restore composite out for older NESRGB installations: https://www.reddit.com/r/nes/s/9ebGqoaYD3

The 5.0 board no longer has a PPUV or V pad. I see a VS pad. Is that equivalent? Can I wire this to the composite center pin?

What games on the NES despite selling for lots of money today are not worth collecting either due to bugs or just plain awful gameplay. conversely what are some undiscovered or overlooked gems on the system?

everyone is going to mention Mario or contra or the more popular games. please keep that to a minimum. I'm referring to exports or games from other countries that came out on the NES but not in your home country or games that barely anyone knows about but are just as good.

Conversely, what games demand high prices from collectors but are not worth the cash?

Front LED mod

Replaced the original red solid led for a RGB cycle light. Easy mod to do, just need to unsolder the old led and solder in the new one 5 min job. Only part of the job that was a little annoying was bending the new led into the housing. Next mod is to get a clear NES shell

Wacky Races has entered the chat

It's a beautiful thing, so so close now :)

16 carts left, plus another 20ish variants, maybe around 40 total with some homebrews I'm chasing. Then I'm pivot to the occasional manual and/or box to spruce up the collection... Maybe some little figures, stuffies, and other collectibles to fit my games.

What do y'all do when you finish the collection? I don't want to move on to another platform, this was always the one for me.

Worst NES soundtracks

What's your pick for a terrible NES soundtrack? Mine would be from "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle". This one feels like it was put together in ten minutes, and the game has a glitch that makes the level 2 theme become distorted and unbearably high-pitched. Putting a link here to the soundtrack for anyone who is morbidly curious.

Are there any risks or downsides to doing an expansion audio mod?

I have a frontloader NES which I plan on getting an Everdrive N8 Pro for and I want to be able to get the full audio for any Famicom games I might play on it. I'm only just learning about this stuff, and even though this seems to be simple from what I've read so far, I'm a little uneasy about getting hardware mods done on my childhood NES. I'll be getting this done by someone experienced if I do it, but is there anything I need to be aware of?

Any unforgettable non-gaming experiences in your memory from when you were playing a NES game in the past?

I still remember this one time. After a McDonald's lunch, I was playing NES TMNT at my cousin's house (she had a NES and TMNT, I had FC but no TMNT). She was outside playing with her dog, and all of a sudden, the dog just ran off. I heard her yell, so I paused my game, ran out, and joined the chase for her runaway dog. We ended up finding him in a park.

It was the first time her dog had ever run away like that, and we had no idea why. Once everything was settled, I just went back inside and continued my TMNT game.

Unknown game

Hello, Im looking for help figuring out a game I use to play back in the day. First, it wasnt in English, that's why I dont know a name, case was in Japanese and everything in game was. It was an auto side scroll bullet hell, not set in space or any realistic war scenario. You start off as like a little tank and pick up upgrades and parts to become a full mech. It had upper and lower levels that you could access by falling down holes or going up stairs. I remember it being super hard and think I made it to the second level like 3 times. It had basic city scapes, kind mute/tan colors mainly and the lower area was mainly reds and blues and kinda felt like going into a circut board. If anyone has ideas for what it could be, I would be appreciative.

What is your number one “must play at least once” game for the nes?

I just recently got back into game collecting, and I’m going to different subs to see what the communities think the most essential game in their respective consoles are. List multiple games if you want, but I’d still like to see a top pick from your list too.

Should this concern me

I just got Dragon Fighter, and I always open the games to verify they're legit and in good shape. This one has a white film or something I've never seen before. Anyone have any idea what it might be and should it concern me? It doesn't rub off easily with a thumb, haven't tried more than that.

Does the Battletoads on Switch NES Classics version fix the 2nd player bug on Clinger-Winger?

I only recently saw that Battletoads was added to Switch Online. I beat it in 1991 but never beat it with 2 players. I remember there was a bug on the Clinger-Winger stage that immediately killed the 2nd player each time. Does the Switch version fix this?

Trying to find a trustworthy website to buy from

I’m currently looking to buy a NES with two controllers (preferably original, not knockoffs) and maybe 3 games. the game count doesn’t matter very much but I just wanted to give an idea for it. I’m planning on buying them from DKoldies and it seems a lot cheaper than what I expected it to be but I’ve seen a lot of controversy around the website. I wanted to know if there is like one go to website that a lot of you guys use as I’m completely new to this sort of thing. if there are any ideas you could give me, that would be great! Thanks!

Any pointers, lemme know.

I'm not actively seeking stadium events, nor the steamy casino trilogy. Not that many truly heavy hitters left, but some pretty obscure ones that are tough to find in decent shape at a fair price. Already picked up the 5x highlighted titles, but there are also some variants beyond what's listed.

Looking forward to finding fun ways to expand this specific collection, picking up books, figures, boxes, etc, along the way. No real interest in moving into another platform (e.g., SNES) as these are the games that shaped me. Genesis did some heavy lifting, but I can't begin to think about storage for that set lol.

Happy hunting y'all, it's been a hell of a ride.
