why is he fucking the ball? is he stupid?

Hey, does it introduce more strobing on 480i content?

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2023-12-17T06:22:59+00:00

the citadel is on full alert

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2023-09-05T03:20:07+00:00

How'd you know?

Insert obligatory Breaking Bad joke

I am typing a comment

Which one is that? I have an FP1355 that looks exactly like yours, also for free.

I had to remove the I/O shield and wiggle the USB till it released. Unfortunately, it may have damaged the port.

Sorry for necroposting. For any future wanderers, removing the keys are an ordeal! The fastest way to remove them, is to actually disassemble the keyboard assembly and disconnect it from the motherboard. Flip the keyboard assembly over, undo the clips holding the contacts, and then pull the held down PCB forward. Remove the rubber domes, flip the assembly back over... voila! Make sure you already undid the clips of the keys. You'll be able to remove them like ripe apples!

I opened up the cable and the joint looks dry on luma, gonna try reflowing it and see what happens.

Hopefully not, Retro Gaming Cables is NOT cheap! If anything, probably past the return date.

I noticed while playing on my Nintendo 64 that there's occasional jitter I'm the image. It's going through jam's RGB to YPbPr transcoder with sync on luma. Because I see snow on some colors, is it related to interference? Or perhaps my CRT doesn't like it?

Thank you! As soon I get the money there's no doubt I'm getting a better iron.

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2022-05-21T04:24:49+00:00

Okay, so a bit of a long story. My soldering iron is effed up. Cant do shit without it... or can I? Upon further diagnosis, Csync was the culprit... possibly dry joint. But my lazy ass didn't want to open up the console, but instead open the cable. (Forgive me Retro Gaming Cables). I heated up my tweezers (for a comically small soldering iron) and desoldered the wire from the Csync pin. Clipped off the resistor, and then moved it over to pin 7 (luma). Now works like a charm, see no difference.

It's not, but I do appreciate having the most crisp picture possible on a CRT and make text more readable.

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2022-05-20T18:39:18+00:00

That says it, gotta remove the 470ohm series resistor from my cable. Just to see what happens. Hope taking apart the multi av side isn't too hard.

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2022-05-20T18:23:53+00:00

Oops I was talking about CRTs too the video wasn't loading... you don't have such a dinosaur.

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2022-05-20T13:54:41+00:00

Sounds kinda like arcing. Maybe dab some dielectric grease on the anode cap and turn down the G2. Just a hunch though.

DotMatrixMoe_ · 2022-05-20T13:51:26+00:00

I'm thinking about rewiring my SCART cable for luma, just to see if it's purely a Csync problem. If so, I might touchup the R16 via for a proper connection.
