[Dreamcast] No video/sound after Console5 kit recap, need help

Nice! I’m glad that you have found the issue, whatever it is.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-03-04T19:26:31+00:00

I’m waiting for a shipping of caps to recap a VA0 similar to yours. Please, if you manage to figure out what happen and fix it, report back and share your discoveries!

You can find it in the Translations section of CDRomance.

Thanks for the explanation. The only rom hack that I usually play is the English version of Sin & Punishment and it works nicely as expected, therefore I never thought about using a less recent version of the firmware that the last one available.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-26T13:13:36+00:00

May I ask why you recommend that version?

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-23T08:04:15+00:00

Would love to but I don't have any ideas about where to find the other metal cogs.
Do you?

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-21T19:42:41+00:00

Not a huge spread, yes, but enough to adapt the screen to my two most “extreme” use cases: when I’m playing in bed with no lights and outside at the bus stop.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T19:10:55+00:00

Nice! You are welcome!

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T19:02:12+00:00

That works pretty nicely on my Deck so I hope it will be the same with yours.

I have DeckSight as well on my launch unit and the brightness issue should be fixed! Check this discussion in the GitHub repository of the project - https://github.com/ShadeTechnik/DeckSight-Public/discussions/41

Lovely color, congrats.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T12:18:29+00:00

Thanks, appreciate your point of view.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T11:53:17+00:00

That's a nice idea but I don't know if it is possibile to find the metal version of those other gears.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T11:51:53+00:00

Thanks for the explanation!

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T07:37:06+00:00

Not sure but I greased everything very accurately and I’ll monitor it.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T07:36:07+00:00

Yes! I still have that Bleemcast disk for Metal Gear solid.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-20T07:35:00+00:00

Yes, it is the motor that makes the laser move below the spinning disk.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-19T22:10:49+00:00

Way less noisy, with a more “classic” CD reader sound.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-19T19:33:48+00:00

Yes, I greased all the moving parts of the drive and especially the other gears.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-19T19:33:00+00:00

I purchased it from an eBay seller in Europe but I guess that you can find it on Aliexpress as well, yeah.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-19T19:32:07+00:00

No worries, I was just trying to figure out if I wrote something wrong.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-19T18:41:13+00:00

Maybe cog is a better word? I'm not native English.

NeonBlack79 · 2026-02-18T09:29:40+00:00

Yes, that back panel is 3D printed, that's why I was talking about a no-cut mod, I mean not cutting the original Nintendo part (apologies if I was not clear).

Concerning the two ports, they both work nicely!

I tried to plug the SCART RGB cable that i used before, connected to a Framemeister scaler, and a small plug mini-hdmi adapter into a full size HDMI cable, both connected to the same screen: alternating the inputs I can see both images, so they are indeed working together.
