Nice, I was wondering if these were still availible. Been meaning to region mod my spare TG16.

PM coming your way...

I need to remember to bump the thread every now and then.  It gets buried five or six pages back and then people dont see it.

This thread really should be one those frozen threads at the top.  Y'all call it a sticky right?  . Well, at least that is IF you and Steve plan to keep producing these chips.

Thinking about getting one of the region mod boards. I'm also very interested in the RGB amp you were working on, has any progress been made? I'm good for one if you get a few made.

We havent yet.  There were several design changes along the way and we havent finalized what we want to do exactly.

As soon as they're done I'll take one of those and a region board as well. How much do you charge to install a region board and the rgb board w/din? I have a duo r.

I'm also interested in your RGB amp board, please make sure to let us know when these are ready, thanks!

BlueBMW, I'm wondering if there have been any new developments with the RGB amp. Just curious.

Also interested on the RGB Amp, please let us know BlueBMW!

Blue, I received a security bit from turbokon yesterday so I cracked open my TG-16 last night and started this mod.  EXCELLENT instructions!  I've only completed half the mod (started late in the evening), but it's been fun!  Well, fun and stressful!  Cutting those HUcard pins sent "holy shit" thoughts through my brain with each pin I cut (except pin 18  ).  I'll take pics once I've completed the mod.  Hopefully tonight.

For the TG-16 do you have any recommendations for placement of the region PCB?  I would like to put the RF shields back on and I want the region chip somewhere safe.

[BlueBMW]

I usually just double-sided tape it to either the top of the hucard slot or nearby on the system board.  There's so much room inside the TG16 that there shouldnt be much trouble making it fit!   Just watch your wires and the edges of the RF shielding.  At times I've cut away some of the RF shielding to make more room for wires coming and going.  I always tape the edges of cut RF shielding with some felt tape to make sure it doesnt cut anyone should the unit be taken apart again.
