TinyNES Review: A Modern Take on Original NES Hardware
TinyNES Review – A Super Niche NES Console
The TinyNES is a niche console that combines original NES CPU and PPU chips with a modern, open-source design. It offers cleaner video and audio output than a stock NES, but only via composite, with no HDMI or RGB options. The console targets purists who want real hardware without the quirks of original systems or the compromises of emulators and FPGAs. With socketed chips and a future RGB add-on, it's a flexible, if highly specialized, choice.
Its great everyone seems to have a perfect device being built for them.

In case anyone follows the review back to https://www.crowdsupply.com/tall-dog-electronics/tinynes - I've been waiting since the beginning of the year for an update on an order (despite an order ID and emailing multiple times).
I don't think they still exist? Sounds like it used to be cool tech though.

> Later revisions of the PPU did offer RGB output options but most NES and Famicom systems had the single pin output.

I have a “New-style” NES. Do I have the “upgraded” PPU?
