[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Has anybody RGB modded their PC Engine?? I need help!]

BOLLOCKS!!! I've just been pratting about with the ext bus connector at the back to see if i could get a composite signal just for the time being. It worked just fine and i was quite pleased with myself but...........I SHORTED A CONNECTION AND NOW THERES NO SIGNAL AT ALL!!!!!!!!! I cant even get the shit RF signal i was getting before! Gutted!

I've would love to buy a Weller if I had the cash but they can be quite expensive.
When you mentioned the transistors were you refering to the RGBS signal amp board? I reckon i should be able to knock one of those up.
I also need to know where i can tap into L/R audio for the output connector.
Thanks

It doesnt have any AV port but it does have an ext bus port which is where i can tap into the outputs instead of going straight to the chip.

I think I need to invest in a new soldering iron! this one is really, really......well, not very good, to be polite. It almost destroyed my Sega Saturn and I'm scared of letting it loose on my PCE because it took me ages to get one (In hindsight I should have bought a CoreGraphix but that would have been too easy and they dont have the same appeal as the original white ones).

Right, I will attempt this mod shortly and keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info it has helped me tremendously. I will let you know if it works (and probably end up asking for more advice!)

Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to modify my PC Engine (the white one) so i can use it on a PAL tv but i'm not having any luck.
I checked out the gamesx site but it seems a bit vague to me.
Is there a pinout for audio?
what is the +5v for?
What pins do I use on the scart connector?

My heads in bits! Its probably dead simple but it hasn't clicked with me yet.

Can anybody help me?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / I Need an AV Booster. Can Anyone Help?]

I've just discovered I need an AV Booster for my white PC Engine.
I checked out Ebay and found 1 which will cost me £35 including shipping from Japan (about $64).
I have no idea if this is reasonable or expensive or what! Can someone shed some light?

Ebay item number: 8272587464

Alternatively, would a hardware mod do the same job?

Thanks for the reply, I originally thought the guy who had sold me the PCE had stung me and give me a faulty one but hopefully that booster will work (fingers crossed). I suppose I need to search high and low to find one now, but, the world would be a boring place if everything worked first time,eh! Next stop........Ebay!!

I will let you know how it goes and thanks again for the info.

Hi there,

Did the AV booster work?? I'm having exactly the same problem.
