As of 4-6-2018 the 500 kits are sold out, in less than 2 weeks! WOW!
Watch this area or my twitter feed for info on the next sale.
#HiDefNES corrections:
I forgot that the AC adapter will not work on the av fami without a polarity reverser cable or internal mod. Will make a note and try to change the shop variables to keep this combo from being ordered or adjust price to add the reverser or extra mod.
Also, you will receive 2 long ribbon cables in your front loader kit order, this is due to a shortage of 6″ cables!
I added a note in the install guide.
#HiDefNES update: All orders up through 4365 are shipped.
It’s a much slower process than ultrahdmi so I get less orders done per day.
There are way more parts and complication with this kit so BE PATIENT, you will get an email with track info when I ship.
#UltraHDMI update: Marshall says the fab has started gathering parts and also started making pcbs!
I finally got all the prep work done and have revamped the sale page to also include recapped ac adapters as an option.
These are cheap chinese adapters, but i put Nichicon caps from Mouser in them so they will actually last. They are 9v 2A adapters with a tip that will do 5.5mm OD and both 2.1mm and 2.5mm ID!!!
I have been selling them with pre modded nes’s for a while so I know they are good to go!
I will also be adding them to the MISC category when I get time so they can be bought separately.
Marshall has the kit and is starting testing!
I repeat, this is for the pre order batch sold last October, this is not a notice there will be another pre order soon.
Marshall just emailed me and said he has a tracking number for the kits, so they are on their way from china to him!
I added a 680uF cap to the kits in order to cover the ‘S’ versions of the OEM power supplies for the N64. I finally had a large enough sample size to make sure exactly what was needed to also cover this variation, turns out only the one cap was needed!
Anyone who has a cap kit on pre order with their ultraHDMI kit will get this upgraded cap kit as well, no extra charge!

Marshall says china fab is still working on the boards, but the flex cables are done and in transit.
