Hey. They need functional power supplies too

New prototype get
I’ve ordered the new version to validate, so stay tuned
My Pinout is likely not the same as voultar’s, so my qsb would still be necessary. Otherwise, it should work as long as the cable takes YPbPr on the RGB lines.
Order 9372 Complete!
Customer sent in an NES Frontloader for a NESRGB Install, POW Block & SMTendo combo from @zaxour.bsky.social and a Nintendrawer from @rockergaming.bsky.social @blueshell3d.com
Finished it off with a transparent shell and we have ourselves a sleek NES!

Just finished restoring this Genesis Model 1 using @zaxour.bsky.social 3BP+ and flex cables, and it’s a game changer!
The flex makes the install clean with only a few wires needed, and the 3BP+ makes the video and audio look phenomenal! I recommend this combo to get the best from your Genesis!
Order 9368-1 Complete!
Customer sent in an Atari Jaguar for a @zaxour.bsky.social 64BP Video Bypass mod and a Full Recap Service!
With razor sharp RGB output via a new 10-pin DIN and the stock connector it's never looked better, check out the work and captures 👇

Another (mostly) new SNES built using @starlightk7.bsky.social OpenSFC project! The purple PCB is probably my favorite color, and translucent shell is a great way to display this project
Nothing that fancy. Someone told me that they terminated Pb/Pr with lower impedance and were able to get pretty close, so I played around with it digitally on the RT5X. Then I just built an analog circuit to lower Pb/Pr amplitude and convert back to RGB. Maybe not the most elegant solution 😬
In a way, yes. All analog, so I’m not doing any fancy lookup tables, but if I’m successful, it should be pretty close
For the FRAM, since the Saturn flex hard ties P22 (/OE) to ground, I had to lift that pin on the FRAM and jump it to the SRAM's /OE pin. Other than that, no other modification necessary!

Somebody else recapped this rare RG-M1, but rendered it inoperable. I found a solder bridge across this ceramic cap, which brought it roaring back! Also put on an FRAM - used my Saturn flex since JVC skeeted epoxy all over
Massive props to @zaxour.bsky.social! He’s the Grand Poobah of PC Engine! After many false leads from smart people, he diagnosed my Duo’s CD audio issue in just a couple of minutes.
Holy shit it works! Thank you Zax!!
Plz provide high res photo
I finally finished up a circuit to better approximate the composite palette! Output from the bonanza goes in, then modified RGB goes out. Not necessary if you have an RT5X/4K, but would be useful for CRT's/other scalers.
This is wrong in multiple ways

Accompanying yesterday's Genesis is this 32X - recapped and outfitted with a Buzzkill to ensure no inductor noise!
Ugly duckling Model 1 VA7 Genesis glow up with a 4BP and TS924 headphone amp! No more horribly balanced audio, with cleaned-up RGB and S-Video capability to boot! I opted for a bottom side install this time...wish I had a flex for everything 🫠
Hopefully within a few weeks
ehhh......the R-Y and B-Y signals are pre-modulated with the subcarrier, so you can't just slap an amplifier on and use it as a component video signal, sadly! Like I said, because it encodes RGB, it's going to look like a composite version of any RGB modded PCE
The composite is created by the combination of the color burst, luma, R-Y and B-Y signals directly from the HUC6260, which is what NEC intended with the design. That signal is then modulated to RF. The Euro TG16 will have the incorrect palette, as it is just encoding RGB to get composite out.
