[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 laser issues]

thesteve did an excellent job repairing my super cdrom2 unit! And he didn't charge an arm and a leg. 

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 laser issues]

I'm embarrassed to admit, I have no idea what that means. good or bad? 

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 laser issues]

sending a pm your way, steve.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 laser issues]

I'll give that a try thanks! However, the pessimist in me thinks it's VR related...

 If anyone in the USA has a scope and experience calibrating lasers I'll pay you to get mine working...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New printed parts arrived today (duo door and everdrive case)]

3D printing blows my mind. Would it be possible to eventually 3d print entire console shells? For example if our consoles are cracked or yellowed, or we want to paint them a different color but don't want to mess up the original shell.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 laser issues]

unfortunately I don't have access to a scope but I'll try cleaning and regreasing. Maybe I didn't put enough grease on when I changed the lens.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Super CDROM2 laser issues]

Hey guys, my grey Super CDROM2 unit is having some trouble with cd-rs. After changing the lens and messing with the pots for what seemed like hours, the unit is loading cd-rs fine initially, but at random intervals the music will either abruptly stop playing, or will make some garbled sounds and stop playing. Also, on occasion, the game will completely lock up and pressing select+run will not soft reboot.

The random nature of the problem is the most troubling. I can play a game for an hour and no problems at all, and other times I get 10 minutes into the game and the music cuts out or the game freezes. I know cd-r usage on these old machines are frowned upon sometimes, but these cd-rs are Taiyo Yudens burned at slow speed and they worked just fine on my duo-r (why oh why did I sell my duo-r!!  )

I only have one real game at the moment, Cosmic Fantasy 2, but I haven't encountered any problems with it so far, but I haven't played the game much as I don't really care for it. The Super CDROM2 unit has been recapped so I don't think it's a cap issue.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / RGB mod coregrafx2/supercdrom2 - audio question]

I have a grey Super CDROM2 and Core Grafx II unit. I'd like to RGB mod them. However, From my experience I always get audio buzzing when using scart cables with other RGB systems. Shielded cables help but the buzz is still noticeable while wearing headphones so I usually try to separate the audio by adding separate audio jacks or other methods.

Can I do the RGB mod on the core grafx II unit itself and run a cable from the core grafx II to my monitor and run a cable from the super cdrom2's av output to my stereo? I'm hoping if I do the mod this way there wouldn't be any buzzing since the signals aren't travelling together in the same cable.

Off topic:  Why does the member "NintegaY" over there have zero posts, yet he obviously has posts?

If you're referring to the neo-geo forums, posts made in the market section do not count towards a users post count.

[Fighting Street / Re: Nintega: still crazy after all these years (now with added Nazis!)]

just watched his "apology" video. what's really sad is all of the comments stating that they forgive him. I guess they don't realize the cycle will continue, and nintega will likely switch back to troll mode at a moment's notice.

to find out if you have the first run revenge of shinobi, you must play until level 3. if the flamethrower dudes look like rambo, you have the first version.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: PC Engine Duo-R clean, RGB Mod, Modded Controller on ebay!]

[Off-Topic / Re: Picture Game]

impressive, but..

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: best lube to use for TG-CD repair]

Lithium grease works great too.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Pretty BA DUO-R bundle]

this guy is legit, bought splatterhouse from him a few weeks ago.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: duo-r sound issue]

yes but only if I really crank the speakers up. most of the time the clicking or popping or whatever is drowned out by the music but sometimes it isn't. its kinda annoying but not a dealbreaker by any means.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: duo-r sound issue]

thanks for the welcome 

it might be kind of hard to hear what the problem is unless you crank the sound up. or listen thru headphones. I usually play games with my headphones on so thats how I noticed the sound problem in the first place. I'm wondering if it might be electrical or RF interference because sometimes when I play a cd game, during a quiet point I can hear the sound of the cd drive in my headphones!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / duo-r sound issue]

I purchased an RGB modded duo-r from ebay (from doujindance) and it works fine, however there is a strange sound problem. Redbook audio and chiptunes sound fine but most sound effects have this strange popping or crackling sound to them. I tried 2 different AV cables and had the same result.

It happens in hucard and cd games. I have heard many stories of the black duo's sound problems but I thought that with the duo-r/rx those problems were eliminated. I recorded the pause sound in dracula-x hopefully this will illustrate the problem because it's kind of hard to explain without hearing it yourself

any ideas or am i just hearing things??  here is a link to the WAV
