[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Thank you! My hope is that Krikzz addresses this at some point with an explanation. I've also posted on his forum and tweeted him about it so fingers crossed!

For those that dont follow the SmokeMonster thread in Everdrive forums, Krizz dont had these problems with TED 2.4 (all games work fine in his SGX) but gaves a possible explanation:

Most of TBED v2.5 use new revision of PSRAM memory chips, which i start to use recently instead of old revision. May be this is why they working (if tested both on same console). During genesis mega x3/x5 development i discover that ISSI memory chips has problems with refresh mechanism at some conditions, but at same time i discover that ISSI start selling new revision of their psram chips (TBLL markering on the package instead of BLL). I ordered few samples for test and they all working just perfect with mega x3/x5, i decide to use new revision of chips for TBED also. Anyway i can't say anything for sure about problems with SGX, because i can't reproduce any of mentioned problems on my SGX  with TBED v2.4, even with old revision of psram chips. I tested all games, then i leave working Daimakaimura for few hours, but nothing happens. May be it happens only with specihic SGX motherboard revision, or only with specific pait of cart/console.

TED 2.5 solves it too.

Sure? Did you tested with a Sgx that didn't work with v2.4 and now is working with v2.5?

Because some lucky guys have sgx what works even with v2.4...

Hi

Just to everybody knows, problem was solved with a TED 1.2.

Working perfect! 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Hi

Nice BVM! 

Some SGX works and some don't. But as far as I know it's a TED problem.

I bought an TED 1.2 on ebay and I will try if the problem will be solved.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Everdrive and Entire SuperGrafx Library Video]

does your SGX have some sort of region mod?

Some day I will find out why some SGX runs SGX games on TED without glitches and others not:

To end story, I not be able to solve it. 

My technican exchange the caps, clened and lubrificated the Hucard port but nothing work. (also installed RGB mod!)

I tried one hundred times to get the "right position" of TED in the HUCARD port, but everytime the glitches and freezing comes back.

I gave up and bought a Daimakaimura on Ebay for $ 46 boxed... Looking now for Granzort loose or boxed for a good price...

Hi

I opened the console and did a deeper cleaning in the HU card connector but SAME results.

Other games like 1941 Counter attack (SGX game) runs for about 4 hours without any problem...

I don't know what else to do. (ok, I can buy these games but are too much expensive these days...)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Hi,

Tried with a PAD 124 (Duo) power supply and with a Sega CD ps (both using a wire and a spare tip inverting the negative and postive). Same frozen.

I also tried to connect and disconect the TED to clear contacts but nothing until now. I will open it and tried a more complete cleareance.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Next week I will leave it to my technican to check it out and if everything is fine, install a RGB mod.

He also have a SGX and can both test with his power supply or "make" one to just test. I will ask him to clear the contacts as well.

I keep you guys informed.

Thanks!

Mauricio

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Im using a original power supply. Pad113 if I'm no wrong.

I will try your technic with care because the contact is very tigh.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Reading again the Everdrive forum thread I searched for information about this but didn't find anything:

Today I had it tested with real SGX hu-cards as well as roms flashed via a 39LF040 cart, and they play flawlessly.

What is it? Something like a repro hu-card?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

I think that my TED v1.? works on my SuperGrafx but my 2.2 does not.

V 2.2 is too much thicker than V 1.X?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Hi

Thanks for the valuable information!

When I opened it to take a look in the motherboard I cleaned the with isopropyl alcohol. But now I will do a better job. Also I will try to get a better position of TED in the console.

Thanks

Mauricio

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Does the SuperGrafx have a region mod or any other mods?

Have you tried switching to PCE mode and then back, making sure that the switch is all the way into SuperGrafx mode?

Yes, I did. Position 2 SGX games didn't work. Only on position 1 and I make sure it's all the way to position 1.

I think my sgx isn't modded but take some pictures of motherboard.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Supergrafx vs Everdrive freezing in Daimakaimura]

Hi!

I went in some trouble to get Daimakaimura running in a Supergrafx using Everdrive.

The video frozen after a few minutes (sometimes seconds). See pics and a video.


https://postimg.cc/BPH3Yw98
See the black bars near the sprite?


https://postimg.cc/m1CcYwmj


https://postimg.cc/n9BkXqBb

Screens frozen and goes bw. Sound a buzz. (also see video below)

Sometimes I heard a buzz other times the music continues like a slower version (but with sound glitches).

I read something about bad dumps, but afaik it's only affect Aldynes and Mado King Granzort. I never heard someone complaining about Daimakaimura.

http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=460.15

I leave Aldynes running for hours without problem. Mado King Granzort I have some glitches in sprites and backgrounds but I think this a real bad dump problem. Battle Ace both original and using everdrive works fine.

I've already open in and inspect for a crack or something. I found nothing...

Tried 5 different sources for Daimakaimura. Same result (or same dump).

What you think it could be? Is everdrive, the dump or the SGX?

Thanks

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: RAU-30 on other PCE / TG systems]

What part has the RGB mod? Why not just line out the video by RGB and audio from the IFU?

Hi, please know that I don't have either the SGX, IFU or SCD2! (Only a Duo that KC sold to me).

But before buying I make plans. If I understood what you said, how I can use a RGB cable with a Framemeister and get the audio from another place? AFAIK Framemeister will get the audio from scart and send to HDMI and them to my TV.

The possible solutions could be a special made scart cable like this one (but wired for use in pc engine):

https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/games-consoles/sega/sega-mega-drive-2-sega-genesis-2-rgb-av-scart-cable-tv-lead-with-rca-sound

Or using a receiver/stereo to get the audio.

But if SCD2 AV out works with SGX will be far more easy. O:)

Thanks

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: RAU-30 on other PCE / TG systems]

I found the answer:

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8743.msg153058#msg153058

So, RAU 30 doesn't have any video connection and according to RAU 30 manual

4K: 6nnvwa7w.jpg

They recommend to use the video connector from SGX but the audio (L+R) from the IFU (what a confusion setup!). I just don't know how to do it using a RGB mod...

And about SCD2? Using that I can get AV form the SCD2 directly?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: RAU-30 on other PCE / TG systems]

Hi

I saw the Bloufo post and a detail rise me a question:

Can Bloufo or someone confirm that if I use the supergrafx with CD rom (either SCD2 or IFU) I can only have audio and video from Supergrafx AV out?

Seeing Bloufo pictures, the one with Coregrafx are using the IFU video out, but using the SGX you are using the console video out...

And I found this video that this guy comments the same thing (at 3:40):

Can you confirm that?

it only happens with RAU 30 adapter or using a SCD2 directly with SGX I still have to use SGX AV out?

And about CD audio? Someone told me to always use the AV from CD ROM/IFU to not loose cd audio...

Thanks

Mauricio

Picture quality is amazing. Much better than the briefcase I had. Duo is very quiet too. Much impressed.

Which connection did you use with both models? There is a difference in picture quality between various pc engine models? I was thinking that all is the same using the same cable (RGB X RGB = the same quality).
