Turbografx-16/PC-Engine Component (YPrPb) Interest Check

I would say you would have to have some soldering experience already.  Not only you have to install the component board but you have to install the output methods such rca jacks, mini-din's or regular din connectors and you'll have to think about the sound output too if you're modding a tg16 or PC-Engine systems.  There are existing guides for those mods already here and else where.

Practice on a spare video card tapping pins of similar sizes. If you had a tough time with caps I would avoid because that is considerably easier.

Groovy - Thanks for letting me know.  Probably going to pass for now.

This is awesome. I've already got a RGB mod, but having native component would be mo awesomer.

Yeah you can, just tap the into the corresponding expansion bus pins, on the dock side for the r, g, b & sync.

Definitely interested in picking up at least one then, maybe a couple more for other systems like my Genesis and Saturn as well.  Hmm, or maybe the easier thing to do with consoles like that since the pins can be tapped right off the external connector is to build a box that takes the inputs and converts to component from there.

If going external just use a RGB scart to component adapter works great.

This was designed to work specifically with NEC systems.  I haven't tested this design on a genesis.  Will give it a try.  I suppose you can have it enclose in a box or some sort but that's not part of the game plan at the moment.

I tested this with a sega genesis and surprise, it doesn't work.  Well it work for the first few second anyway...

I made some more tweaks. This is the final design I'm going with.  I eliminated R7 & R8 and therefore I was able to decrease the form factor even more.  New board size will be 1.564" x 1.225".

Just a thought... you may want to add holes to your solder lands for the inputs and ouputs.  Might make some installs eaiser with a hold to solder wire to instead of a pad. 

[turbokon]

I thought about adding the holes but I decided to go with the pads.  Boards are on its way to be made.  Fingers cross:)

Awesome!

I'd be very interested in component cables for my Turbo. How hard would something like this be to install? I'm not the most savvy with these kinds of things lol

[turbokon]

With the manufactured pcb, I think it will be simpler then the region mod.

[turbokon]

Boards are being made as we speak. Should be ready for release in few weeks.

[bartre]

hmm, any idea on a final price?
also, any idea if i could shove this in my IFU without too much trouble?
