I RGB modded my Super Grafx
« on: February 20, 2011, 07:57:00 PM »
I decided to go on with modding my beloved Super Grafx console, and I must say I'm more than satisfied with the results.
It totally worths all the effort, and since this console has the best Ghouls and Ghosts game, I love playing it with the best possible picture quality.
Here are some pictures...







Brand new electrolytic capacitors and new jack 8-din so that there are enough pins (the original had 5 pins).



The RGB and VSync amplifier I made from the following schematics.







Greek translation of Bikuriman world

Thanks.
I've constructed 4 of the amplifier pcbs and i made them as compact and easy to install as possible. Pulled all inputs in one side and all outputs on the other.

My Core II is next, then my Turbo Duo.

ps
I found its much easier to pull the needed signals from the expansion port (internally) compared to the chip itself. I reffer to the PCEs that have one that is.

I had no idea there were Greek translations of any PCE games.

There are some translations in Greek on PCE games indeed (keith courage in alpha zones, klax, puzznic, shanghai, WB in monsterland), I only care about WB in monsterland though since it was my childhood love :)

Thanx guys,
yes I'm one of those cases that like to make everything clean and neat looking :)

I will post my Core II mod too when its ready. Its pretty much the same process as on this one...

Awesome.  Looks great, too.

Man, I really wanna see someone do a proper region mod on the SuperGrafx, with proper switching on pin 29 of the Hu6280 and all.

Looking at the SGX PCB...dang, that is one extremely sparse PCB. Obviously designed by the TG-16 guy.

No man, I'm sorry... Only keith courage in alpha zones, klax, puzznic, shanghai and WB in monsterland were translated in Greek on the PCEngine.

Patches (and not actual roms) that translate the original roms can be found at http://www.greekroms.net/english/staff.php
