Component Video Modded LaserActive

[schweaty]

decided to start a new thread on this since this isnt really a RGB mod (old thread).  i used Turbokon's v1 component board.  there are absolutely no jail bars to be found.  FEKA games are in black and white for some reason (must be the board design) but I play more Mega LD on this than FEKA anyway so no big loss there (glorious composite will suffice).  here's some pics (sorry for the daytime glare, you'll just have to trust me when i say those pixels could cut hard cheese):



here's where i tapped C Sync

the V2 board solves the compatability issue

Whelp... wish I had known that a few months ago.  No biggie.  The v1 board looks better on my TV than the v2

should be able to make it work by removing/bypassing 2 caps on the board and adding 3 caps to the color inputs

This might sound stupid but what is a FEKA game?

It's actually from those Johnny Turbo ads they used to run in magazines, that's how they referred to the Sega CD.  Pretty hilarious stuff.

Nice job on the component mod btw. Looks good.

Little update here:  over the weekend, I replace the v1 board with a v2 and just like theSteve said it would, the genesis PAC now also works great.  Still have some of the issues I had the last time I used a v2 board, but it will be nice to have all my obey and genny in 240p now.
