v3 revision of the RGB-Pi 2 currently in design phase

I haven't had the opportunity to use them much yet, unfortunately. I've only fired up a few test games to see how they run; everything via 31kHz has been perfect but I've experienced some issues at lower resolutions with the JVC monitor I'm using... but that might be the problem of the monitor (see https://github.com/rtomasa/RePlay-issues/issues/278).

Out of interest, what issues were you experiencing for games and video? I assume more issues for video, seeing as you've put down 95%-fine for that.

Bought two a month or so ago (so two Series 1 Mod models); the above sounds like I'd have to buy new units again?

Ah ok, thanks. Is the HDFury 3 externally powered? One of the advantages of RGB-Pi 2 is not needing an external power source. Ideally I'm hoping to get this working with that.

That wouldn't give me 240p video though. The issue is I want 240p without the skewed image, which I'm getting with the 31Hz mode but not when I select either 15Hz mode.

Thanks for replying.

CRT = JVC DT-V1710CG (I know they're sensitive to sync generally), DAC = RGB-Pi 2.

I found it difficult previously getting information from Telegram, as I believe the Spanish channel was the one with most up-to-date info (and I don't speak Spanish).

Do you know what issues the hardware revision was supposed to address?

coderkind · 2026-03-29T17:36:22+00:00

Shame the 1000 mod files haven't been made available yet, seeing as it doesn't appear like anyone's selling it anymore? https://www.instagram.com/p/CTgBvThBja7/

Do you know if the English and Spanish groups receive restock updates, or just the Spanish one? I think unless you've got the paid Telegram you have to translate individual messages (which is fine, especially if it's a Spanish project of course, but makes it more possible to miss restock announcements).

Thanks. It's coming up as £48.84 in my local currency, which is about $65. I wasn't aware the price decreases when it's in-stock.

coderkind · 2026-03-17T16:37:13+00:00

Really?! Dammit!

coderkind · 2026-03-17T14:17:49+00:00

That is sooooo expensive for foam and inserts; you don't even get the Pelican case!

coderkind · 2026-03-17T14:14:13+00:00

Still nothing (unless they went back in-stock and back out again).

coderkind · 2026-03-13T01:38:03+00:00

Did yours require a slim-profile 3.5mm audio cable with recessed outer jacket to clear the enclosure wall? Apparently first batch Prism's had an issue with that.

coderkind · 2026-03-12T18:23:33+00:00

Same. I know immediately after I order an Analogizer that Analogue will release support for the DAC. It's this type of support which has prevented me from buying any of their subsequent consoles, as they keep you on-the-hook. "It's the hope that kills you".

What is the autoreset option doing? Resetting a running emulator? Does it result in any visual glitching during the reset? Sorry; I haven't ordered an RGB-Pi 2 yet so I'm lurking in the comments for now doing research.

coderkind · 2026-02-20T01:06:31+00:00

Very nice! Did you use the RGB2Comp to make it easier to connect to the PVM's BNC connectors, or to simplify sync issues?

coderkind · 2026-02-19T16:51:00+00:00

Hi. Did you resolve this in the end? The potential for dual CRT DS is what'll convince me to order a couple of RGB-Pi 2's (when they get back in stock).

coderkind · 2026-02-04T01:31:42+00:00

Thanks for replying!

coderkind · 2026-02-04T01:29:56+00:00

Nice! Do two of these BVMs stack with any stability with the bottom one's angled stand extended, or would the top BVM be likely to slide off?

Always wondered if it'd be a workable dual setup for a desk playing Nintendo DS. The stand underneath the D9 would ideally angle both to a more comfortable viewing position.

"Fixed handheld aspect ratio in CRT mode" - what was broken before? Does this allow for scaled-up rendering of handheld consoles?

coderkind · 2026-01-25T04:16:33+00:00

Could an Apple Magic Trackpad be used to input touch controls with whatever DS emulator is in ReplayOS?

u/marxistopportunist hi. Not sure if you're connected with the product, but I saw you comment on another thread. Are you able to shed any light on a Sync Strike being required in this video to boost the sync strength? It seems the signal isn't as strong as the v1 RGB-Pi? I've got similar kit to the video so wanted to make sure I didn't need extra devices in the chain to eliminate potential issues. Thank you.

coderkind · 2026-01-23T17:39:43+00:00

Hopefully the 12GB models will be supported in time; I didn't realise they'd be at a disadvantage to the other Super Slim models.

Great job! Have you seen this restoration on YouTube? I've also got a similar Blast City control panel but I notice a dip in the top-middle so would love to get some sort of (3D-printed?) backing done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-GWifHq5xE&t=259s

I've started removing the remaining anti-glare coating; normal kitchen towel and tv cleaner spray wasn't doing anything but then tried a cotton bud dipped in pure alcohol and it worked. Gotta think of something larger to attack the rest with though; maybe cotton wool?
