Re: [Turbo-List] New and Improved Turbo-List
I second Kira's comments. Thank you for keeping the list going BT. I can't wait to see HNB as well. I might go the RGB route this winter as well. Nightwolve and Steve worked hard in the schematic and from what I have seen it's just plain awesome. I have a scart modded Duo-r that would be perfect for this Mod. I would like to see this list a little more active guys....... Too many toolbags everywhere else!

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....
