Hello and welcome to a special Cygnus Destroyer video!
As longtime followers of the channel might be aware, I've been on a quest to get the
best possible picture quality from all of my retro systems, and thanks to one of my
viewers who turned out to be a really talented modder, I'm now one major step closer to
completing that goal.
My friends, it's a great honor to introduce to you the beautiful & amazing new addition
to my console collection...the LJN64.
Created by Jarred of Retro Revolutions, the LJN64 is much more than your average fifth
generation Nintendo system.
It features a custom 3D printed shell with a two tone paint job highlighted by my favorite
color, a bright Blue LED power light & my LJN Defender 8-bit avatar displayed in all
its glory up front, but the true power of this awesome machine is contained within.
As I mentioned earlier, I've been on a journey to optimize my consoles in order to improve
the quality of the footage recorded for my reviews, and anyone familiar with the N64
most likely knows that Nintendo was the clear loser to Sony & Sega in regards to video options.
In stark contrast to the Playstation & Saturn, which both natively output a sharp RGB signal,
the N64 only offered composite & S-Video.
While the former looked great on the now obsolete tube TVs, it didn't hold up at all in the
jump towards the modern 1080p & 4K flat screens.
The S-Video cable, on the other hand, produced a noticeable boost to the picture quality,
especially when paired with a Framemeister upscaling unit, but I wasn't 100% satisfied
with the results.
I'd heard of the Ultra HDMI modification and how it pushed the boundaries of the N64
from a visual perspective, but the heavy price tag made me quite reluctant to invest in it.
As fate would have it, my hesitancy paid off, since Jarred not only wired the LJN64 to output
RGB, but he upped the ante by including the Tim Worthington de-blur switch.
The already impressive RGB image is raised to a whole new level with a simple slide of
my thumb and Banjo-Kazooie, Ocarina of Time & the rest of the fifth generation Nintendo
classics are now replicated in breathtaking HD that rivals even the fanciest emulators.
Combine that with the accompanying controller & its enhanced Gamecube replacement analog
stick, and we have the recipe for the ultimate N64 experience, bar none.
Needless to say, the LJN64 is a dream come true and I can't thank Jarred enough for
generously doing this for me free of charge, so the least that I can do to pay him back
is to ask all of you watching this right now to check out his video of the making of this
magnificent beast & subscribe to his channel if you like what you see.
I'll put a link in the description and there should be a card on the screen right now or
in the little circle in the upper right-hand corner, so you can click on those & be fascinated
by his awe-inspiring skills.
Anyway, now that I've shared my fantastic new present with you guys, I've got an appearance
in the IUPG court to prepare for.
Be sure to come back for that, but until then, this is Matt a.k.a. Cygnus Destroyer, signing out!
