Service Description:
Professional installation of the Retro GEM kit in your Nintendo 64 (N64). For more information and/or to purchase the N64 Retro GEM Kit head to PixelFX’s Website Here.
No Cut Mod
Thanks to Greg Collins at Laser Bear Industries, I can offer to 3D print a no-cut mod to accompany the installation of your PixelFX Retro Gem.
- This prevents me from having to cut a hole for the miniHDMI connector in your N64 and if need be, the console could be taken back to stock at some point in the future.
- I can print in whatever color you like so just make sure fill in the field. If left blank I will print in a color that is closest to the original on your console.
* If you already have a No Cut Mod that you purchased from Laser Bear Industries DO NOT PURCHASE this add-on and instead just send it along with your console and I'll install it free of charge.
Multi-Region Free Mod
Thanks to Greg Collins at Laser Bear Industries, I can offer to 3D print a Multi-Region Free Mod to accompany the installation of your PixelFX Retro Gem.
- This allows you to play NTSC & NTSC-J on both North American & Japanese systems. This will not work for PAL games which would require additional modification of the systems internals.
- I can print in whatever color you like so just make sure fill in the field. If left blank I will print in a color that is closest to the original on your console.
* If you already have a Multi-Region Free Mod that you purchased from Laser Bear Industries DO NOT PURCHASE this add-on and instead just send it along with your console and I'll install it free of charge.
