If you’re hell bent on retro games, or you’ve been dying to play the original Mario Kart on an LCD screen then you may be in luck.

WCCFTech reports that an engineer of sorts, who goes by the name of Marshal H (no real last name reported), has developed a modified display board for the original Nintendo 64 that will allow HDMI output to LCD video screens.

If you’re old enough to remember the release of the Nintendo 64 or the original PS2, then you may remember the days of the CRT connection. That connection allowed, the best available video on any size CRT display. If you had a big tv the images popped off the screen, if you had a little CRT screen, the graphics didn’t suffer.

Now though, jury rigging a Nintendo 64 to play on a newer tv looks, well like crap.

Marshal’s HDMI converter is said to put a CRT like image on an HDMI powered tv. It can’t actually be 1080p because that would require a much more powerful card, however you’ll at least be playing the N64 in graphics that you’re used to from the systems hey day.

The HDMI converter will require a bit of electronics knowledge, specifically a soldering iron, however if you can solder you’ll be good to go. If you can’t operate a soldering iron, Marshal says that he will make a very limited amount of N64’s with the card pre-installed, available through his website. Of course they haven’t made the N64 in years so you would have to try your local thrift store or a yard sale to find one.

Marshal hopes to release the modified display board, and those N64’s with it pre-installed, sometime in this quarter. However he warns that he wants to make sure that he doesn’t release a “crappy” product so you’ll have to wait until he’s ready.
