Looking around on the web there seems to be 2 popular ways to add an RGB amp to a PC Engine.

The first is the one posted on Gamesx

and the second on Mmonkey

Does the Mmonkey one without the caps etc work as well as the Gamesx one?  comments please.

I've not built either, but IMO the GamesSX one looks like a proper amp circuit. I like the MMMonkey site,  but that amp looks too crude, having no voltage clamping.

It may well work fine, but I wouldn't want to blow my PC Engine Graphics chip just to save a few cents!

Thank you very much for your reply and the additional information.
