NES-101 Nintendo top loader - full walk through of overclock and true stereo mods

Be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! It really helps!
I go through the steps I take to add stereo and overclock to a nes-101, aka top loader.
The composite and led mod steps are left out because that video is already done.

There are two sound outputs on the CPU... one carries the two square wave channels and the other carries all other sound. So although the games weren't designed for stereo sound, this mod does route different sounds through separate speakers.

I recently sent my NES-101 to be modded by GameTechUS. I can't recommend his services enough. The mod works perfectly. His turnaround was extremely fast. I also purchased a few games at a reasonable price. If you're interested in NES modding, I strongly suggest using GameTechUS.

Thanks for this vid! I just finished the stereo mod on a Front Loader NES using your instructions and it works BEAUTIFULLY! Thanks a mil!

I think that 0.025" diameter solder is the best all-around size for electronics work. When I worked in a PCB factory, that was our standard size for soldering in through-hole terminal blocks and for most rework. We also had 0.015" for fine-pitch soldering. We used Alpha Metals SMT Core Plus 63/37 solder, and Metcal STSS and MX-500 irons with an STTC-126 tip cartridge.

In the 80's mono was like the dolby surround of the 2000's, but these day's mono is very outdated, so with a stereo mod on the nes, your nes games will sound like fresh & new as if you play them for the first time, and if you hook it to a surroundset, it will turn that stereo signal into surround sound.

Nice, thank you for this excellent video!! Can this be applied in the same manner for an original NES as well? Is the circuit diagram the same?

[BlockABoots]

Noticed on one of your other videos that use used a switch rather than the potentiometer for the stereo mod. What type switch did you use please?

[leeadamaa]

Do you have any NES-101's unmodded for sale I love to tinker around and mod these old consoles plus the 101 is one of the only things I am looking for for my collection

[samuraipinguin]

Can you include a parts list and where you bought them from in the description? I am having problems finding the surface mount oscillators. Thanks.

[alexandremondo]

Awesome except the hot glue, i think the potentiometer and switch will not last long.

[bluephreakr]

I find little sense in using PN's sauce on the pot when you can just nut it tight against the console. Any reason why aside from stability?

[MaximumRD]

Great of you to share your talent! Subbed!

[Jason-pnto]

i woulda used the switch for the stereo and potentiometer for the cpu over clocking

[actomasik]

+GameTechUS, what is the voltage of the 1 uF audio caps you are using? Also, do you have a part number for that surface mount oscillator?

[joshuaguimond]

So what is the difference between dual mono and the true stereo?

[luelaify]

hello I was wondering do you guys mod super retro trio?

[disturbed]

Use longer wires and hot glue them makes for the best S-Video feed you will ever

[ThePbrook]

Do you NEED the overclock and what does it do???

[emeny-ttv]

hi nice video
woud you do one in wich you explain a solution for nes-101 with Etim RGBto activate audio enhancement in combo with everdrive N8 / PowerPak
im in some forums and they say pin 51 with pin 1 on CPU but im not 100% sure about that and there are no pictures.

I know this is an old video and this will be a dumb question. Will the led in the power button ever cause the redness to fade or dull in the button? Minor and does not matter to me whatsoever but just a random thought I had
