FS: CoreGrafx II with Component modded Super CD-ROM
« on: March 12, 2016, 12:05:44 PM »
The CoreGrafx II/Component modded SCD lot is the last PCE hardware I currently have for sale and it is now on eBay with 5 games included:

CoreGrafx II with component-modded Super CD-ROM, official SCD power supply, CoreGrafx II pad, official AV cable, SuperGrafx power cable (so you can use a SuperGrafx with the SCD and only one power supply) and spare replacement CD-ROM lens.






More photos further down.


Here is what the forum member I bought it from had to say about it:

Quote
It has never failed to play a single CD be it an original game, pressed bootleg, homebrew, burned game, you name it.  The only thing wrong with it is the LED doesnt come on when a disc is playing, but it hasn't bothered me enough to fix it.

Since I have owned it, I have replaced all the capacitors and installed Turbokon's V1 component video PCB.  I used a 8-Pin DIN socket in the place of the factory socket, so an original AV cable (which is included) can be used instead of the custom component cable if you want.



Here are screenshots capture from component off of the SCD and from composite off of the CoreGrafx II while running the same game at the same time:











720p 60fps video capture on YouTube. Includes switch between component and composite towards the end.



I'm very picky with picture quality and am not keeping this as I prefer mickris' RGB mods to turbokon's component board. The pots should be tweaked to get emulator perfect color and the top edge of the screen looks brighter than the rest, but gets cropped out altogether on some TVs. Still about as nice a picture as you'll get from anything other than mickris' RGB mod and infinitely better than anything doujindance does.

My last crt had a number of problems and after replacing it with a Sony Wega, it works just fine when passed through a component splitter and looks great.

It works with the TED v1, but not the v2.2 I have.

Damn. I really want that SuperGrafx.

GLWS man. Wish I had some dough or I would get that SG RIHT NOW.

Can do, but you'll need a TED to put it on.

 Did you get rid of the board from that spare supergrafx shell?

The empty shell was given to me as-is many years ago.

Cool. Was hoping you had a broke board. Always on the lookout for one's that are cracked in need of repair.
