Title: Tri-Star and RGB out for NES/Famicom

I got ahold of a Tri-Star adaptor for SNES/SFC (lets you play Famicom/NES games on a SNES/SFC) and although SNES works in RGB, NES/Famicom does not. Does anyone know why and if this can be fixed?

thanks

Because the NES itself only outputted composite video. I doubt the NES-on-a-chip is any exception.

I thought the Tri-Star only did composite video...?
(I have one myself, though it's collecting dust ;) )

I honestly don't know too much about this but I found this side box shot elsewhere:

i actually own the SUPER8

which is a tristar with a different company logo..

the adapters and or combo consoles will never have rgb for the 8bit famicom/nes unless you have an rgb modded famicom/nes...
