Alright, another freebie for everyone: The Mega CD Extender! If you've ever had to work on a Sega/Mega CD, you know what a pain in the ass they are. I made this so you can get the Genesis/MD out of the way and be able to troubleshoot more easily. github.com/zaxour/MegaC...

Bonk is extremely grateful that he no longer has a sunburn in RGB. He's never looked sharper! (PC Engine Duo with Turbonanza + Palette Cleanser on PVM-20M4U) Thanks @zaxour.bsky.social!

What is a Palette Cleanser? A miserable little pile of IC’s! But enough talk, have at this LaserActive PAC-N1!

Some comparison shots before Palette Cleanser launches in a few days! Taken from a system with Bonanza + Palette Cleanser. Bonanza uses precision resistors to reconstruct CVBS, so it's a more consistent basis for comparison. 1. CVBS 2. Palette Cleanser RGB 3. Original RGB

Palette Cleanser is finally off to production after some last minute tweaks! (Composite captured via RT5X with contrast set to -20. Probably would have been a closer brightness match at -15 to -17...but whatever)

While I'm waiting on Palette Cleanser feedback, I whipped up this power board for 5V AES systems. Designed to sit where the big fat cap goes (2200uF on 3-5 etc, 1000u on the early units). I will probably put a 2P JST connector for the 9V input to make it a little cleaner/easier

[VGA Add-on for Philips CD-i] I wanted to mod my CD-i with RGB, but the output options always involve removing a jack or cutting an extra hole. So I decided to create this add-on to minimize case modification🤔 This will also allow dual output, which is cool!👀 GitHub: github.com/jeffqchen/CD...

After isolating my SG1000’s boot issue to a faulty 74 series logic chip, I got a new one in and it’s back in business! I used my little SVideo-BJT board to get the composite output on the RF jack - not pretty, but good enough! Will of course be fitting a master bypass in the future 😬

A real treat this weekend I got to play on a genuine Pioneer Laseractive with Sega Genesis PAC! Serviced by our own BetaGamma and Mr Laseractive himself, @zaxour.bsky.social ! What an amazing machine this is, the audio and video quality is incredible.

The problem with the Aliexpress 72 pin connectors is not only are they flimsy, but they sink the pins too damn low to grip onto green bar games. With the new Nintendrawer connectors, that's not an issue. Also, they're gold plated like they should be, for durability!

I think I've got JAGDAC in a really good place now - excellent high contrast transitions made possible by employing a lower impedance DAC that overcomes the parasitic capacitance of the Jaguar! This works in conjunction with the 64BP to output the best possible image the Jaguar is capable of.

Next is an RGB and composite modded US Sega Master System II! This particular console has an interesting history as it was completely stripped down to the last resistor and reassembled, and it still works great! Looking at $100 plus shipping
