toploader NES support?

does the PPUdigitizer work with Top Loading NES consoles?

Yes, I have reports that this actually works. But I can not give you detailed information on the installation method, as I don't have a top loader myself.You will have to find a solution on how to bring the lumacode and audio out of the machine with some connector or dangling cables. best regards, Reinhard Am Mi., 14.

I would be interested to see how the PPUDigitizer works with a top loader(i am looking at trading my RGB NES for a top loader)

@uberdisko have you tried to do the install?

The top loader doesn't have an RF out, and i dont want to drill holes in the console if i can avoid it. So im thinking if you could piggy back on some pins on the multi out. Could you attach it to the composite pin on the multi-out? I assume the composite signal would interfere with the Luma Code so you would have to cut a trace and there for lose composite capability.. hmmm not ideal. Or maybe use another pin on the multi out and make a custom cable? hmm possibilities
