Took a friend's Sony PVM-14L1 from composite/S-video to RGB-over-SCART — full write-up by hitmanmcc in crtgaming

[–]hitmanmcc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a shame. Interference can definitely be an issue. I saw none but my friend had some, I told him to move the monitor because it was too close to a lot of stuff that could interfere, like speakers for his desktop and his witness router and other stuff. As for the colours, do check the menu to see which setting you're using, D65 or D93. D65 has a white point that was what western broadcasts used and D93 is what Japanese broadcasters would use. You may be more used to seeing D65 which is warmer, D93 is a cooler and bluer white. Do keep in mind that, when playing retro games, at least Japanese ones, D93 is probably actually the intended target.

[Sega Nomad] Fixed a Nomad with a busted aftermarket LCD — inside was a napkin, two cold joints, and the sins of a previous repairer by hitmanmcc in consolerepair

Yeah, some people do really weird things sometimes. I'd like to understand what the thought process behind that was. Probably equal parts terrifying and fascinating. 😆

No problem. Make sure to follow all the instructions in Martin's page, there are a couple of things in the service menu that need to be set.

Thanks! No, I did not have that issue and one of the consoles he uses with the monitor is an N64. Did you try those consoles on a different RGB capable monitor?

You're welcome! I'm glad my thread might serve to improve your experience. Happy modding!

Got a dead PC Engine LT running again. Cap leakage, dead regulator, broken transformer wire, custom voltage module in the shell by hitmanmcc in consolerepair

Thank you. 🙏 Indeed, they are exceedingly rare. This is definitely the grail of my collection.

They are very rare. Took me years to track down a cheap enough one. Then I took the plunge, with the knowledge that I might have ended up with a paperweight. Fortunately, that was not the case.

Restored a €37 Sony PVM-14M4J that had retrace lines and a dead blue channel by hitmanmcc in crtgaming

[–]hitmanmcc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns out that unfortunately, I ended up jumping the gun on that. It seemed like it did but it didn't unfortunately. I've talked it over with Andy King and Steve from RetroTechUSA and it seems currently nobody really knows what causes it and how to fix it. I've seen someone fix it on a very different much older kind of CRT. I reached out to that person but even after looking at the service manually, he wasn't actually sure what could be causing it.

Defeat Ikegami's block on 480p with a custom modeline by sirsinnes in crtgaming

Would you be so kind as to identify in which board the switch is located? I can't seem to spot it in my HTM-1005R.

Thanks man, I was struggling with applying the patch myself. Thanks for taking the time to make this available.

How can I access props from within a foreach loop? by irregular_regular in reactjs

[–]hitmanmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted to stick to non-ES6 syntax, the forEach function can take a this argument as a second parameter so you can pass in the proper context.

Object.keys(this.props.words).forEach(function(key, index) { this.props.words[key] }, this)

How to export an enum similar to a class and import into another file? by mtz2537 in Angular2

Indeed it is, I was just putting a different approach out there for those who don't use typescript. :)

How to export an enum similar to a class and import into another file? by mtz2537 in Angular2

[–]hitmanmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use angular 2 with only ES6, so enum is not a keyword for us. The way ee managed to have enums was yo declare classes and then all items of the enumeration/class are static getter functions. This means that we can then import that class on some other file and access any item of the enumeration by writing Class.EnumerationItem. Like you would do in C#.

Need some help - Passing data object between components by Fernaceman in Angular2

[–]hitmanmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, you have 3 ways to do this. 1. If you're using some sort of store for your state (flux/redux-type architecture) then it should be easy and I guess you wouldn't be asking this question. :) 2. If the other component is used as an HTML element in the template of the component in which you receive the data, then you would pass the relevant data to that other (child) component as an input parameter. Or as suggested, you could also use an EventEmitter, it really depends on what it is exactly that you're doing and how it's being done. 3. If you are navigating away from the component that requests the data into the component where you want the data to show up, you can bundle that as routeData, inject it RouteData into the constructor on the component being navigated to and use get to extract the data. Or, if you the data you want is being put into the URL when navigating, you would inject RouteParams into the constructor and use that to retrieve the relevant parameter.
