I've been obsessed with getting RGB out of all my old systems. I'm usually against modifying a system, and since I don't have a spare TG, I'm curious if it would be possible to modify a TurboBooster to output higher quality AV? RGB preferably, or component or S-video.
I don't know much about the insides of the TurboBooster, but I'd certainly feel a lot better about modding it and leaving the TG console itself untouched. Perhaps it would easy? Perhaps it's a giant pain in the ass? Perhaps it's not even possible? I dunno...
If it is possible, I'd be glad to pay for modding services. Ideally, I'd like to hook it up via RGB through the Framemeister. Thanks for any info!
It's possible and easy
Component also possible 2
And no modification to the console would be required? What's inside the TurboBooster exactly? Can't find any pics of the insides. There must be a video chip which would allow you to pull off the RGB lines before they get sent combined into composite?
Sorry for the noob questions, I'm not very good with this stuff!
I have modified ifu and tg dock for component video out so it's the same with the booster. No need to mod the console.
Interesting link, thanks Nulltard. I'm really eager to see the Turbo via RGB!
Turbokon, I'll likely be hitting you up in a month or two for the TurboBooster mod. I've also been wanting to get my Express recapped and a 3" screen, so I may send them together. Thanks!

It's the TNK2 though...
Super Bumping old stuff...
