I must say I have been following this mod project for a couple of years now when it was in the VGA stage and now, from the pictures you posted Marshall, my inner child is smiling and waiting for this awesome thing to come to the console I played so much as a kid. Glad to be here on the fourms to watch this and your other projects come to life, thank you for making this a reality and keep up the great work :)

Really curious, what is the video output mode of HDMI in direct mode? 480i, when the N64 outputs 480i? 480p when the N64 outputs 240p (so line doubled)? Is there also a direct mode for PAL games?

What is the output mode for buffered mode? Basically I am interested in how you process the incoming picture.

Also when you say frame, do you then mean 2 fields of an interlaced picture or one?
I am also interested in finding this out. What resolution can we expect this HDMI to be in? 720p is not possible is it?

Haven't finalized the direct modes.
Buffered modes are 480p and 1080p. I'm still considering what to do about PAL with its extra lines, whether to resample it to fit 480 or find a nonstandard mode.

I have done some tests with audio - rough, unfiltered audio is coming thru HDMI now.
Next rev came in recently and I finished assembly. It'll connect directly to the flex.

Holy shit, this sounds awesome!

Must have been awesome when you first heard sound through HDMI.
