Mike Tyson's Punch Out

NES Composite to RGB

Takes composite/RF/VHS NES footage and attempts to restore it to RGB quality. Assumes footage has been properly deinterlaced via field duplication from 240p to 480p/720p/etc. Note that:

  • All footage was captured in 240p/480p/720p NTSC.
  • RGB footage was captured via an AV Famicom with the RGB Blaster via the Retrotink 2x or GBS Control.
  • The model was trained exclusively on individual frames, so it can't fix things like dropouts.
  • The even and odd fields of NES composite tend to be a bit...different from each other, so there will be some jitter at 60fps.
  • I don't have access to an NES Toploader, so I wouldn't expect it to fix the jailbars very well.

Revision History:

  • 1.5.0 (06/29/2025): Applied additional augmentations to reduce overfitting. Also added a small amount of 720p training data.
  • 1.0.0 (11/03/2024): Initial release.
