[Console Repair/Mod Center / What should I do RGB TG16 CD options]

I made myself dumber trying to figure out options to cheaply get a better picture for my un-moded TG16 CD on a HDTV.  I run most inputs through a HK 2600 receiver except my TG16.  I have it component directly to the TV.  All this SCART, amps, Chip this, solder this, framemister this is confusing as hell.  My component picture is just dark.

What are my options that works best these days by the current members?  I need to fix my Obey calling!

[Off-Topic / 80's Christmas]

Ok PC-fx'ers,
This is for the kids of the 80's growing up in the best dang decade ever and a sears wish book out in front of you.  Video games aside, what was your best 80's Christmas gift and why.  We are in our 30/40's now with life bitch slapping us every single day with Mortgages, car payments, rent, car payments, kids, yada, yada.  Looking back to our totally awesome childhood, what did Santa bring you that still resounds with you today!  Rather it be He-man, Transformers, gi joe, Atari, video games, what was that magical Christmas day for you?

For me it was 1982 in Kindergarden and getting Castle Grayskull.  15 years later in College, 1995, it would re-spark a passion that would 5 years later result in a complete MOTU MOC/MIB collection.  I learned once you get everything its like me, now what.  The whole damn thing takes up closet space in storage containers but I love all of it. 

Now, I have a compulsion for Retro video games.  Getting caught up in the craze like toys were in the 90's.  However, that 1982 Christmas was unbelievable.  If only I had gotten Voltron or Optimus Prime who knows.

So, spill your nogasaltigc love for Christmas!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / If I do a region MOD for TG16-CD sys card 3.0]

Hey guys, quick question. If I do a region mod so I can purchase a much cheaper 3.0 JPN System card for a TG16-CD, would the JPN 3.0 run both the English and Japanese Super-CD's since the CD's are not region protected?

For the price of a US 3.0 card you might as well just purchase a DUO.

Thanks,
WD

[Console Repair/Mod Center / TG16 CD-Rom pot default values]

I'm replacing my middle gear this weekend.  However, over a year ago I moved the pots trying to fix the cd-rom before I was able to ID the broken middle gear.

Can someone help me with the default values or a screen shot?  Hopefully I won't have to replace the laser.

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / What gives with dead hu cards?]

Hi guys!  New around here but this seems to be the spot to get answers to my question or dilemia.

Recently I pulled my TG16 w/ CD player out from my parents shop/storage building.  It has been in there for almost 15 years.  I know the CD player is gone from stripped out gears (took it apart).  However all the hu cards that were in the CD storage case won't load EXCEPT Vigallante that was evidently last played in college as it was still in the drive.  Could it be the heat destroyed my Splatterhouse, Keith Courage, China Warrior, TG16 CD cards?  All I get is a white screen but Vigalante works fine.

Thanks for the input!
