Can RGB detect be added? --Zzo38 (talk) 12:16, 8 March 2013 (MST)

Detecting the difference between the 2C02 and 2C03 comes down to detecting 1 missing pixel out of every 178684 pixels. Thefox tried to do this in the forum - http://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9210 - but it didn't work very well. Detecting the 2C04 or 2C05 is easy, but they're incompatible with existing software, so it's not clear why one would bother. —Lidnariq (talk) 12:51, 8 March 2013 (MST)

Then what is the best way for the software to deal with the difference of RGB and NTSC modes? --Zzo38 (talk) 13:53, 11 March 2013 (MDT)

Compile time, or asking the user. You cannot plug a Famicom or NES game pak into a Vs. System or PC10 cabinet, and aftermarket modifications (2C03s in NESes/Famicoms) impose no obligation to support. —Lidnariq (talk) 15:29, 11 March 2013 (MDT)
