This feature displays the image at either 1x (720p) or 2x (1080p). Some consumer-grade CRT’s would stretch the image, creating a distinctive look. These settings offer both basic tweaks, plus some pretty impressive features. In the pictures below, gamma boost is off on the left. I preferred to only turn this feature on when using scanlines, but once again, it’s all preference. The Gamma boost feature brightens up the image to simulate more of a CRT look. The depth and thickness of the scanlines can be adjusted in the advanced menu and you can even adjust how they react to interlaced modes. Hybrid scanlines were designed to look the exact way they would on a consumer-grade CRT, while “simple” scanlines draw lines across the screen the same way most other fake scanlines are drawn. The UltraHDMI offers two different scanline options: Hybrid (on the left) and Simple (on the right). Obviously, 10 and 20 are somewhere between the two: This mode allows you to scale the image to fill the screen. I doubt anyone would use “stretch”, as it ruins the aspect ratio (click for full-sized): Most people will leave this set to normal, but the “cinema” mode might be good if you play a game with lots of overscan. This is essentially just a “zoom” mode like you’d find on most flat-screen TV’s. Said differently: It doesn’t matter if I turn on one feature, or all of them, it’s still only about one frame of lag over Direct Mode’s zero lag: One thing to note about all of these features is that any combination won’t effect lag. My TVs and capture cards weren’t compatible with the “+SYNC mode”, but if there are low-lag 4k (or 8k!?) upscalers released some day, it’s probably the best option to use:Įach feature is described in detail in the quick start guide and I’d like to show examples of most. “YES+SYNC” is a direct mode that changes the video signal to perfectly match the N64’s refresh rate. Also, I didn’t notice any lag, since there was no lag added from the console, only the built-in upscaler in the TV. I imagine this is the perfect mode for future-proofing the console I played the UltraHDMI on my (low-quality) 4k TV for awhile and actually thought Direct Mode looked the best out of all of them. This mode allows for zero lag, but may cause screen tearing with some displays.

This allows you to output 480p with no processing at all. One interesting option is the “Direct Mode”: You should set the resolution to match your TV and keep the refresh rate at 60hz (unless you’ll be playing mostly PAL games). I’d like to list the options “out of order” and suggest that you enter the HDMI SETUP option on the main menu page before doing anything else.

#PS2 MOD CHIP ENABLING JAPANESE MODE HOW TO#

Until I switched video modes, there was no way to tell how to enable them. For example, by default, some filters are grayed out, since I’m using a video mode that’s not compatible with them. While I found the menus easy to navigate, I wish there was some way to arrange the options a bit more intuitively. The on-screen display can be brought up by turning on the N64 without a game inserted, or by hitting the following button combination (don’t worry, it’s easier then it sounds): L/Z + Dpad right + C right + R trigger This review will show examples of almost every option, however I suggest referring to the quick start guide for details. Luckily, Marshall already provided a very detailed explanation of each option in the quick start guide.

When I’d normally review a new mod or product, I’d try to go through each option and provide detailed information on all the settings. You’ll either need an adapter, or simply a Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable: The first thing you’ll notice is that UltraHDMI uses a Mini-HDMI connector in the back (not to be confused with Micro-HDMI). Thanks to an open-source 3D printed design provided by Greg Collins, you can perform this mod without cutting any plastic on your N64! It’s both easier, safer and makes for the cleanest possible installation! More info and the files here: You’ll need to find someone doing a group buy, or installers that offer an installation service. UltraHDMI kits are not sold direct to consumers. It processes the video signal digitally, before it’s converted to analog, allowing for zero to very little lag (depending on options). It can be installed alongside RGB mods and enables HDMI-output from 480p to 1080p.
