I'm really glad you didn't because no video game unit from the twentieth century will ever, ever, ever be hooked up to anything but a CRT in my house...

(some m82 didnt have these caps) so i fixed my and sold it off with a few mods like led mods and a full 12 slot irc mod. if i had a hdmi kit i would have installed that too. the pal m82 i converted to ntsc by simply swamping out the cpu, ppu and the crystal oscillator and lock out chip the power supply is universal via wire switch so i just swap out the cable and recapped the entire console and PS. basically there no indicator is was ever a pal unit so i could sell it as ntsc if i wanted. Cool glad you got it! . Ya it sucks you had to pay for no fix especially from voultar the guy who constantly says nobody knows electronics and acts like he’s the only one. You could also add mmc5 functionality for games like castlevania 3 and expansion audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgb mod would be awesome though then you could either play it on an rgb modded crt or component on a crt that has it with hdrv cables Edited November 7, 2021 by Tehninja221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have like 12 arcade monitors in my house, so technically, I already do But I play 8 bit and 16 bit games, so I really don't see the need to see razor sharp pixels; if I wanted my gaming to be all blocky and pixelated, I'd do all the HDMI mods and play with that awe-inspiring lag on LED TV's 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
