Big tangent of a thread of #retromodding and Sony #Trinitron RGB modding hijinks and misadventures I've been on the past year, poured my heart out writing this so even though it's a bit unfocused, I'd love for ya to give it an eyeball or two.
SNES Jr RGB mod I installed earlier this year. Cheapie AliExpress board with laughably thin wires but the results are beautiful on my 20" Trinitron I rgb modded as well. This mod I did along with a full recap and voltage regulator swap, it thankfully went smoothly :D #retromodding #snes #trinitron

Finished recapping the 1CHIP. Next is to test and see if there is any improvement in the video signal over the old caps. Luckily I remembered (this time) to take some photos of the video output before removed Ng the old caps. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding

So happy to see this screen. Phew. Still working. Curiosity almost killed my 1CHIP. Got this a couple of years ago through FromJapan. The 2nd 1CHIP too, but that one was #junk and cost about 80USD. 80USD of spare parts now :(. Closing this thread. #snes #superfamicom #retrorevival #sfc #retromodding

Got the good one off and cleaned now too. Hopefully I didn't fry it, coz it got quite hot. #retrorevival #retromodding #snes #superfamicom #sfc

Low melt solder is your friend when removing a chip.... But if you intend to reuse the chip... The pain! The horror! When does the hurting stop?! Cleaning the low melt from the legs is a pain in the arse. #retrorevival #retromodding

For reference, these photos are from my working 1CHIP. Colors seem a bit off though, but that's for another time. When looking at the completely green and red screen the colors seem off. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding

Decided to go with this. I am using TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) jack instead of TRS, because this will also allow me to connect composite to it so it can also be used with a 3.5mm to AV RCA cable. #neogeo #snk #retromodding

Soldered the shielded audio cable to the headphone jack pins and routed it to the back via the top side. Previously I routed it bottom side, but due to the thickness of the cable it did not fit well. So this time I am routing it too side to the back. #snk #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

De decided not to touch the RGB, since they are already good as it is in the AES3-5. So now I will try to isolate CSync but also try to keep composite. Had to resort to hot glue though. #snk #neogeo #retromodding

So following RetroSix instructions, I put a 10K pot on one of the RGB input lines instead of the 6.8K resistor. It turned out to be Red, as the white screen turned cyan when the pot is at highest resistance. I adjusted the pot until the 0.70V stopped jumping around. #retromodding

Undid all the stuff to test so now everything is back to stock except that I have CSync wired directly to the DIN. Not to test using 10K pot on the input side of the RGB lines. #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

All good! Had 2 buttons swapped, they differ a little bit in size, so the one that was too big was stuck in pressed state once the shell was screwed on and that made it skip the title screen. Done! #atari #lynx #retrorevival #retromodding

Thought I'd quickly finish this project (by not attempting a rechargeable battery installation), by just putting it back together. But after it was done I noticed it almost went straight to the menu when I turn it on and it missed the iconic theme of California Games. #atari #lynx #retromodding

Finished my PC-Engine Duo project, only took 8 months. My beloved Duo which I got in the 90's. Re-capped, installed an RGB amp and an FRAM mod, didn't have to do anything for the drive/laser. #pcengine #retromodding #hudsonsoft

Picked up my #pcengine Duo again, put it aside after I couldn't get the RGB mod working. Swapped in a #pcengine rgb amp board meant for the OG PC-Engine because it has a mini-din socket. Using that I got a (sweet) picture. So the wiring was ok in the end. #retrogaming #retromodding

All good! Also made the wires come up in the right order so next time I open her up, I will not feel uncomfortable seeing the wires criss crossing each other. #dekita #pcengine #PCエンジン #retrogaming #retromodding

Took the opportunity to redo the wires from the Hu6260 to the RGB amp with better silicone wire that @aergan.com recommended (thanks!). But will have to stop here because I can't dremel at this hour. #pcengine #retrorevival #retromodding

I was hoping to show off the Duo reassembled, but once I turned it on, I am missing colors. I knew right away what caused it. I ran the RGB wires via the front and there is not enough room once the top shell is screwed back on. It will pinch the wiring and lose signal. #pcengine #retromodding

Wasn't sure if I had to remove the cap/battery, so I asked Zaxour and got an answer right away. It can be left it or removed, doesn't matter. So then I tested it and it works! Time to close her up now. Good for another 10 years at least. #pcengine #retromodding #retrorevival #PCエンジン
