You will be much more likely to get shocked while debugging the system if you don't mod it now. There will be no voltage flowing through the tube when you are modding it, but there will be 1,000 volts when you are testing the system with the case apart.

Those are great batterys. But for some reason if you charge them when they arent completely discharged, they can "Lock up". If you ever have trouble with them not working, and they have a voltage of "0" or something like that, stick them in a high power device (like a pocket TV) with some good batterys and after about an hour or two it will all of a sudden turn on!

Alright, I've got some stuff for the sticky here.

While working on getting RGB from my N64, I noticed something. There are holes on the bottom of the board that are directly connected to the pins on the chroma chip (that RGB comes from). If you stick a small single-strand wire in there and solder it in, it is a much easier place to solder RGB wires to! The holes are almost directly below the pins to which goes the normal RGB mod, so just get a diagram from the screens sticky.
