noromamaiFinished my PC-Engine Duo project, only took 8 months. This is my beloved Duo which I got in the 90's, my 1st PC-Engine. Re-capped, some caps were leaking and started corroding the volume wheel (cleaned and fixed), installed an RGB amp, installed an FRAM mod and didn't have to do anything for the drive/laser. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/hudsonsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hudsonsoft</a>Follow the link for the full adventure: <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/@noromamai/113579955949522829" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://social.consoledated.com/@noromamai/113579955949522829</a>

noromamaiAll good! Also made the wires come up in the right order so next time I open her up, I will not feel uncomfortable seeing the wires criss crossing each other. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/dekita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dekita</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/PC%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PCエンジン</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a>

noromamaiTook the opportunity to redo the wires from the Hu6260 to the RGB amp with better silicone wire that @aergan.com recommended (thanks!). But will have to stop here because I can't dremel at this hour. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retrorevival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrorevival</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a>

noromamaiI was hoping to show off the Duo reassembled, but once I turned it on, I am missing colors. I knew right away what caused it. I ran the RGB wires via the front and there is not enough room once the top shell is screwed back on. It will pinch the wiring and lose signal. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a>

noromamaiWasn't sure if I had to remove the cap/battery, so I asked Zaxour and got an answer right away. It can be left it or removed, doesn't matter. So then I tested it and it works! Time to close her up now. Good for another 10 years at least. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retrorevival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrorevival</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/PC%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PCエンジン</a>

noromamaiSoldered @zaxour.bsky.social's NEC FRAM Adapter in place. Cleaned up, Positioned the FRAM chip (FM16W08-SG) and soldered it onto the adapter. Let's see if it works. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/PC%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PCエンジン</a>

noromamaiRemoved the SRAM chip. Used low melt solder, flux and the heat gun.

noromamaiFinished (half) of my modular SCART cable project that I started halfway through repairing/modding my PC-Engine Duo. Finished the SCART end that has an aviation grade 10-pin connector. Now to make the ends that connect to the consoles. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/scart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scart</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/rgb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rgb</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a>

noromamaiHad a "great" idea to use aviation grade plugs to make modular SCART cables. Different SCART heads (caps, no caps, etc) and a separate end for each console. Except that the cable is too thick and I don't have any leeway now to solder the connector and pull it over the cable. <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/rgb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rgb</a> <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/retromodding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retromodding</a>

DerTobiJust released a preview video for my current project: a DIY open hardware TFT display mod for the classic Game Boy (DMG01). I built it using the new RP2350B, so the release will have to wait until Raspberry Pi officially launches the controller chip.

noromamaiPicked up my <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> Duo again, put it aside after I couldn't get the RGB mod working. Swapped in a <a href="https://social.consoledated.com/tags/pcengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcengine</a> rgb amp board meant for the OG PC-Engine because it has a mini-din socket.
