In. Thank you.

Another I need, sign me up!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Free Game: Vigilante]

I'm fairly new, but sure, why not. I do need a copy.

You can just access the sound test by holding select and pressing left then right repeatedly until it comes up.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

It's fine! I found the cap talk interesting. I'm chalking the sound issues up to what Esteban said. The fact that 2 other YouTube reviews had the same popping noise is too unlikely to be just a coincidence. Maybe one day I'll get another unit to test it against.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

AV out the back. RF doesn't look too bad, but it's really red. Composite looks nice enough, but I want to get some component going.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

I've watched a couple videos on Youtube and the popping is also present when they're actually playing the game on actual hardware. Guess it's normal?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

I've listened to it a bit more, and it sounds like it's popping on the beat after drum hits. Also, it sounds like the popping is on every track, but it's more/less subtle depending on the track. No other crts in the house but I'll try it on a LCD.

Edit: cleaned contacts again. changed tv, tried sega 1 power supply. no change.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

I went ahead and recorded a video. Sounds more random to me, but constant. This is the only game I've noticed it in.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

It seemed somewhat more rhythmic, but I'll have to give it another listen. The audio popped in the sound test as well.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Blazing Lazers Audio Popping?]

Hi all,

Picked up Blazing Lazers today, and for some reason the audio pops on certain stages. Specifically Area 5 (the Desert). Checked it out on an emulator and no popping.

What am I looking at here? Just normal? Something wrong with my TG-16? Something wrong with the HuCard?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Oh, I know they are. I've played a bunch for  10-15 mins. It's just I have a backlog a mile wide.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Hah. A year, of which I've played it maybe 2 hours. No, actually now that I think of it I did play Cadash all the way through. So no more than 5 hours.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Heh, wow. I can't believe I fell for that. Too much tunnel vision tonight.

Sooo composite cable I've had on for a year now = ok? Ok then.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Thank you for the response. Probably won't go for a turbo booster, but I may buy that adapter I listed above. I talked to the seller and he says he isolates each output with capacitors. The extra shielding may also be nice as my cables give my system a slight hum.

Maybe if I'm successful recapping a Game Gear I'll consider giving that component mod a try. At least with the game gear it can't get any worse...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Well, considering I paid $5 for my TG-16 at a yard sale last year I can't say I'm too broke up about the situation...

Still, thank you for your answer, though. I would care if I broke my TG-16, even I hated it that's $100 I could have in my pocket.

So you're saying it's safe-ish? As long as I don't screw up the pin positions, etc?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

I'll be honest here, my interest in TG-16 is not going to go CoreGrafx deep, at least for the time being. I'm a *gasp* Nintendo guy at heart, but I pick up the occasional TG-16 game when I can.

That being said, aside from modding, what are my options for *at least* safe composite? eBay user spacemonkeyfromthefuture has a breakout box touting something similar to a turbo booster:

Can anyone recommend this item? Or, if anyone can point me to a reputable person who can component mod my system, I would certainly appreciate it

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Annnnnd off they go. If you don't mind, in what way are they dangerous?

Thankfully, I've only played a total of 1-2 hours with the composite cables on, so I don't believe I've caused any damage.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Are "Home Made" TG-16 Composite cables dangerous?]

Hello all,

Is it dangerous to use a Home made Composite cable, connected directly to the pins on the back? I was just told I could fry the system if I wasn't careful. The dozen or so guides I've looked at over the last year never mentioned that possibility. I'd love to get my console component modded, but I can't seem to find anyone to perform the mod for me, and I don't really want to shell out for a turbo booster.

That being said, I reeeeally don't want to kill my system, so if there's a possibility my cables could fry my console, off they go.

Thank you for your help! Still learning about the TG-16.
