[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB - RGB Scart Cable - Duo-R]

Just need the cable. Wired like doujindance/broken do their cables. Prefer someone in the states.

Thanks!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: The PC-FX isn't a PC Engine or a Turbografx 16!!]

Well I just purchased mine this week and haven't received it yet. I'm curious to check out a few games, but I bought it knowing it will be more of a novelty than anything I'll put serious time into. I also got it complete in box for like $120 shipped which is basically an impulse purchase for me.

Really only leaves a handful of consoles I'm still wanting to purchase (jag CD, cdi 220 for that sweet rgb, and an Amiga cd32). Once I have those I'll own basically everything.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB - PC-FX Console]

Looking for a PC-FX for my personal collection. Main requirement is that it isn't yellowed and comes with a controller and possibly a memory card. Don't care if its boxed or loose, but would pay slightly less loose.

Looking to pay anywhere from $90-150 depending on condition and completeness.

If you have one you want to let go feel free to let me know. Have PayPal and can pay right away.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice looking MVS. If I didn't already have my own I would probably jump on this.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: for sale: RGB mod chip]

Just wanted to say this amp works great and is super easy to install. Working perfectly in my supergrafx and here's a few shots.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB - Core Grafx /CGII]

Console and power adapter only are fine. Cosmetic condition not terribly important either. Would like to be around $70, but will entertain offers around that. I'm located in Denver, CO.

Have stuff for trade such as rgb n64s and also do console mods (nesrgb installs etc). Have plenty of feedback on eBay and neogaf.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Supergrafx RGB mod help (no green) - Fixed - Some captures]

i have a question the El Gato works fine with the framemeister then ?. was wondering as i am thinking of getting one.

Works great. If you look through my other videos its all real hardware captured via rgb(svideo on the 2600) into the framemeister into the el gato. The only downside is that it captures scanlines wrong. You can look at my metal slug video to see that. Works great in my opinion.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Supergrafx RGB mod help (no green)]

Alright, got it working finally!

The leg on the 8 pin din was just a hair too long and had rubbed just enough of the mask on the board off so that it was grounding out on the copper below it. Snipped the legs up slightly higher than its working perfectly now.

Now that its 100% finished I'm going to post up a pic and a capture of it running in just a moment. Very happy I can finally put it back together and really enjoy it.

These are running RGB into my XRGB mini outputting at 1080p and being captured via an El Gato HD.





And here's just a quick video of the first stage of Aldynes. It's being captured the same as the pictures above

Also just wanted to mention pnauts was the guy I purchased the RGB amp from. It came super quick and works great. Definitely recommended.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Supergrafx RGB mod help (no green) - Fixed - Some captures]

Alright, do after getting my supergrafx working thanks to this board, I figured I would ask about my current problem. I'm trying to RGB mod this (have done plenty of rgb mods with no issues.) But I'm just having so many issues its driving me crazy. Long story short, I ordered an rgb amp from a guy on this board(sorry I don't recall your sn.) Amp arrived, installed perfectly fine. Closed it back up and it worked for a few minutes and then the green stopped displaying. Its not the amp because I was having the same issue with my own amp(thus why I ordered one).

I swapped the 5pin with an 8pin din, and I'm using a doujon dance cable. Cable works perfect with my duo r.

No green is displaying for whatever reason. I've tapped from both the expansion port as well as the huc6260. Same issue from both. I get continuity from pin 47 to the green pin in my scart cable when hooked up so I know the path isn't being obstructed.

I get the correct colors when I use the composite cable though. I really don't know what else to try. I don't see anything that would be grounding the signal at all. And like I said, it worked for a few moments before it just dropped out.

Any suggestions on what to check for?

Thanks a bunch

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: My Duo-R wouldn't read CD's last night]

Yeah, I think it was my friend IrishNinja that posted about his ongoing issues with his doujindance Duo-R.  At first he thought it was a bad power supply since the system worked at other people's houses but eventually realized it was the incredibly slight incline of his entertainment center that was messing with it.

Kind of ridiculous!

Yea, he sent it this way along with his nes to be rgb modded. I was excited to check it out because I hadn't purchased mine yet. Booted up both the Valis game as well as a CDR first try over here. As soon as he got it back it wouldn't work at his place. So so strange.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Problem with Supergrafx (not displaying SG(or PCE?) generated sprites]

Those were the traces (2&3) that I thought looked iffy. Checked continuity and 3 wasn't making connection. Soldered some kynar wire between the 2 points, and its working beautifully!

Seriously, thanks so much guys.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Problem with Supergrafx (not displaying SG(or PCE?) generated sprites]

Unfortunately I don't have an occilliscope. I ceaned the entire board and still have the same issue. I'll provide some high resolution pictures in a few moments to see if anyone sees anything out of place. Everything looks good from what I can tell. Caps aren't bulging, I don't see any broken or corroded traces (one looks a bit off, but that's really it). There's a single red wire running from the hu card slot to the exp slot, but it looks like it was done originally.

Here's some shots of the board.

Another weird thing, the first time i tested 1941 on the everdrive it booted a black screen with nothing. Now Its playing fine from what i can tell. also i loaded darius plus and both my shield and bullet are displaying fine. I've seen someone break the layers of that game down and both of those seem to be generated by the Supergrafx. But the actual hucard still aren't working as they should.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Problem with Supergrafx (not displaying SG(or PCE?) generated sprites]

So I just received my Supergrafx console today, and I'm having some issues with it. From what I can tell, it's not displaying any graphics generated by either the SG side of the PCE side. They'll display as white or brown boxes. Like in Ghouls and Ghosts it seems to be the chests that don't display as well as the death explosion of the enemies. Battle Ace the enemies turn into large white boxes once they zoom in to a certain point. Mado Granzort doesn't display the "Press Run" and Husdon copyright on the main screen. Issue happens on both actual SG cards and a Turbo Everdrive.

I'm more than competent with a soldering iron and components, so if anyone knows what may be causing it I could definitely try and take care of it. I really don't want to have to return it because I got a fair price, and I would hate to eat the EMS shipping costs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I hope this was the correct forum to post in. It didn't specifically mention Supergrafx, but I thought it fit here better than the SG forum.

Below are a few photos of the issues.




Thanks for looking

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB/WTTF - Supergrafx Console]

Hi guys, I'm new here, but I'm interested in picking up a supergrafx console. Preferably just power adapter and console, but I can always use another controller I suppose. I'm located in the states and would like it under $200 shipped preferably.

I have a few things I would be interested in trading at least partially. CPS2 Super SF2 B board, RGB N64, RGB SNES Mini, and other things like that.

I also have plenty of feedback on eBay and neogaf which I can provide. Hopefully this isn't against the rules, but it's much easier to email me which is glossectomy138@gmail.com

Thanks for looking.
