Official GC RGB Lead, Model 2 Saturn Access LED

Just a couple of small guides, I haven't really finished the Saturn one yet as I haven't drilled the hole in my consoles casing. Hopefully I'll finish it this bank holiday weekend.

Also toying with the idea of showing how to chip a PSone console, the code to program onto a blank PIC chip has been out on the web for quite a while. Not sure though, not only does it open up the console to imports, but also piracy :-(

I also have a couple of cheap chips to use for an alternative RGB Amp, I'll try it out ASAP and come back with an update.

PSone makes an appearance!

I've chipped a couple of PSone consoles recently. I usually swap the power LED at the same time as performing a Mod, so here's how to replace the SMD LED in Sony's little cute console.

Also, made some corrections and updated the scanline generator page.

Component Supplier

I thought I should give a special mention to Bob at Bitsbox. He's been brilliant at sourcing the odd component I've needed to do a mod, and his prices for the chips I've needed have been brilliant, cheaper even than me buying them in bulk from eBay sellers all over the world (even with their free shipping)

Thanks Bob!

Managed a few updates :-)

Updated the following

• RGB to VGA page with details on how to mod a cheap upscaler.
• Scanline Generator Guide
• Composite Sync Stripper Guide
• Update NTSC N64 RGB page, advising not to try a particular mod

Have some parts on order to try a different RGB Amp, will have them and a guide ready soon'ish!

Small update coming soon with some visitor submitted info about MD2 sycn problems on Samsung TVs. Also want to update my Links page, mentioning the shops I use the most becaus of their excellent customer service.

Video Guides

Have I mentioned these? I can't remember, but I've seen some good guides on YouTube, check out the videos

DamoMonster

RetroRepair

And some info on Scalers, Scanlines etc - FaginRS500

Had a chance to scan in my diagrams for VGA Scanlines and Sync Stripper (also added some extra photo's for that). Not had a chance to do a proper guide yet though.

Links to some interesting guides.

I sort of gave up on modding stuff a while back, but have recently found some new mods that I want to try if/when I get the time to do them. Mods such as...

Region Free MegaCD Bios

Saturn Switchless Mod - upgraded with MultiBIOS

NTSC Saturn and PAL RGB Scart Cables

Hacked Dreamcast Dev Bios on Retail Console

Cheapo RGB to VGA Scaler

VGA Scanlines

Sync Stripper

I will fix the problem so that people can email me, however this is just a hobby for me, so it may take me a while to respond.

Many thanks

Pete
