Console Repair/Mod Center
Hey everyone - there's a lot of terrific information on this forum (and on the greater internet) about how to go about adjusting pots for your system's laser, replacing caps, etc.
However, I'm failing to find a lot of clear examples of in-game symptoms of these problems, specifically the symptoms I'm seeing.
I have a PC-Engine Duo RX and all my HuCards work flawlessly without issue, and most of my CDs do. However, I have three games that seem to stop playing music at certain points (but the sound effects continue). Burning these games has no effect - the music drops out unexpectedly and doesn't come back. There are no strange audio artifacts... The music just stops.
Is this related to bad caps or does my laser pot need an adjustment? Are there predictable in-game symptoms of these sorts of issues?
I also attempted to back up games on Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs, but I can't seem to play them from this media. Memorex CD-Rs work, though...

), but I recently started a retro gaming blog, and I kicked it off with a review of the PC-Engine Duo RX, which I figured a lot of you would enjoy...
