Updated readme photo to show V1.2 PCB, and added note on video output "improvements"

+ Fixed outdated RF Modulator footprint
+ Edited schematic to further improve readability
+ Added silkscreen denoting PAL and NTSC X1 frequencies
+ Added mask layer to edge connector to remove soldermask from the mating surfaces

 # Open 'Tendo
 An Open-Source HardWare (OSHW) recreation of the original 1985 Front-Loading NES motherboard.

+## Note on RGB and HDMI:

+Neither RGB nor HDMI video output were or are a goal of the OpenTendo project, the goal was/is documentation and preservation, and the project was an exercise in reverse engineering. As such "improved" video outputs will not be added to OpenTendo.

+NESRGB and Hi-Def NES can be installed as normal, but will not be incorporated into the OpenTendo PCB
