Everdrives mostly negate the need for region mods like the 'UltraPIF' on the Nintendo 64. We suggest you do your own research, though. Perhaps you want to use genuine cartridges that are of a different region than the console? In that case, you'll need to region mod your console and possibly remove physical barriers that stop you from inserting the cartridge in the foreign console. We will happily do this for you if you provide the kit/s. As per usual, contact us for any prices not listed.
If you have an early 'easily RGB moddable' system and you're only chasing RGB output, I am happy to install my own Super-1 RGB bypass or a bypass board of your choice. In this case, it isn't really bypassing anything; rather, it's amplifying the already existent analogue RGB signals to 'drive' them through the cable and into the set.

These are released in batches from time to time, and you'll have to wait in a queue for many hours to get your hands on one. They are also quite expensive, but they are probably the best solution for HDMI output on the N64. Don't risk wrecking your kit and/or console; send it in for the installation.
*Update* - replaced by Retro Gem.
Finally, we have the more budget-friendly approach. It, of course, lacks many features, though, and you'll have to do your own research to see if the product suits your needs. Max output 720P/ 1080i
The 64HD uses more readily available parts and is cheaper to produce, so the end result is a cheaper pure digital solution. Again, don't risk wrecking your kit and/or console; send it in for the installation.
