[thesteve]

as for the V2 component board you only need to use 1 5V and 1 ground pin as they are connected on the board

Same RGB Amp works on the N64 with the VDC-NUS chip as well.

turbokon: Does this amp remove the faint jail bars that seem to plague the TG16 in RGB mod? If not, what do you suggest someone can do to fix it?

[turbokon]

Bumping this!

[thesteve]

I have been using these amps for a bit now, it seems I can never get enough of them.

From my experience so far, I cannot see any jailbars with my setup or with any of the consoles I have tested. So I assume it's more my setup.

BenQ RL2460HT computer monitor, Framemeister XRGB-mini, RGB amp from Turbokon and I usually have been buying my cables from retrogamingcables as they are way better than the ones I can make.

My US Duo is the only console I put the 22uF ceramic caps on the Hu6280 pins to ground that was mentioned in another thread. But honestly.... The Duo-R's, Duo's, and Supergrax that I have tested with these amps with or without the 22uF caps I see no jailbars whatsoever.

Not sure... but I think I still need two more of these and two more Obey chips. Prolly get another order today or next week.

Looks like you took the RF modulator out.

yep that's correct

I just did an rgb mod to a tgcd rock ask well.  Now I have the best of both world, rgb and component.

We had some reports from the field of slow start up time when using this rgb amps.  This is due to charging time for the input 10uf caps.  Changing them to 1uf or even 0.1uf will provide a lot faster start up time.  Here is a little video of the psone lcd mod.  This mod uses the rgb amp mod chip.  When I switched out the 10uf capacitors to 1uf, the start up time was significantly faster. I will start shipping these out with the change in caps from now on.

[turbokon]

Confimed, 0.1uf caps will make it start up instantly.
