Love the activity on the list. Kind of wish my Turbo Duo didn't get swiped
when I moved back to the states from Italy a few years ago. Seriously...
who steals cool and unique consoles from people?!
Something that sparked my interest was the RGB-Component Circuit at the end
of the email chain. I'm curious if that would work with the RGB Signals
coming out of a JAMMA Board. I know its a bit off topic for the group, but
we're all friends and students of gaming tech right? I'm looking for
alternatives to the standard NEO-BITZ and JROK Video encoders and short of
just designing a solution myself, this could be a good alternative. I am
unsure if the sync signal of the PCE/TD/TG16 is on green or seperated out
though.... I fully admit that my modding knowledge of the hardware for this
platform is very old and limited.
