Cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

Maybe it's just me, but the first tune starts sounding like it's from Terraforming about half way through.

Thanks!  Yeah, I did them a few years back when I was getting up to speed learning how to record and use music software...and I always wanted to do some VGM, so these were my first efforts...definitely want to do more

Hmm - Terraforming, haven't checked that out, but just took a listen and you're referring to 1st level theme?  If so - yeah, I kind of hear it - like a sped up version a bit...hmmm, came out around the sametime as Dragon Slayer 2 did ('92) - I wonder if they're both referencing another track (from the past)

It's a bit funny how similar chord changes, and song structures overlap...the collaborator on this track did a pretty funny analysis on one of these:

Hey all -

Recently had some RGB mod work done by PCENuggets gent (MNKyDeth) (I'll have a video planned for that in the works showing the good work that was done)

But I mentioned to him I had some cover music and he suggested I may want to share here?
Anyway, I did these in collaboration with some other guys.  (Czethros11 (piano/synths/guitar) and
'Cursed Lemon' (rock guitar) (their youtube handles)

and I'm the drummer on these (brandonx76), but also did production work.

Big fan of the original arranger (Ryo Yonemitsu) and thought I would share these:

Dragon Slayer II (ending):

ok, hope some enjoy / cheers!

hey thanks very much Mcchris - and PCEnuggets - got a PM from him.

You guys are great.

I think I'm going to turn this over to PCE Nuggets for the full service - I'm interested to see what he finds. I've recently learned a bit about the Yellowing issue - as well as the reduced power capability issue (to run Everdrive 2.x) so hoping to have this reviewed as well, in addition to capacitor check/review. 

Would be interested to see before and after pics.  I'll try to post them here.

I'm going to open my unit soon - bought from doujindance - had been pretty happy with the unit TBH except a jailbar issue.

Now I'm worried - because all I wanna do is fix the common 'jailbar' issue.  (As detailed by Tim Worthington here: http://etim.net.au/av-driver/pcebars/)

I believed this would be a 'simple' mod but wanted to ask around about the particular capacitors on this motherboard (DuoRX) because I'm not sure I'll be able to figure them out based on description?

Also I'm trying to verify if these capacitors will be a suitable fix:EDIT: these look to be a match:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R24A7QO/ref=biss_dp_t_asn

Tim's specs are:

Capacitor type: Ceramic (MLCC)
Package size: 0805
Capacitance: 4.7 uF
Maximum voltage: 16V or 25V
Dielectric T.C.: X7R

Anyway, when I do get to it, I'll be sure to post pics.  And if the problem is too bad, (dealing with hot gun glue issues?!?  hope not!) I may ask to hire someone else.  I'm US based, but don't mind shipping etc, but looking for reputable modder who may have time.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I'm trying to confirm / verify, which actual capacitors apply to my motherboard design.  Anyone know off hand for the Duo RX?

Any info appreciated.  Thank you!
