X-RGB2 Plus

Post by Brian »

I have read the X-RGB2+ is bad with PCBs. Is this true? Is it so bad as to not worth owning one? I have an X-RGB2 and love it. My X-RGB1 seems to have died as it displays no picture from my supergun. The only board that works on it is Strikers II. I have tried Nebulas Ray, Storm Blade and Feveron and I get no image. Yet, it works fine with an Xbox? So, my main questions are:

1. Is the XRGB1 dead or is it a board problem? The boards all work fine on the X-RGB2 and my other gun.

2. Is the X-RG2+ a viable solution?

Thanks in advance.

Try your XRGB1 with a Genny, Saturn, or SMS, in RGB mode. If it works, sell it to me. :wink:

Actually, I got it to work again. It was a switch not clicking on the dips.

Yes and no. It has reported problems dealing with odd sync rates (anything other than 60hz) and there isn't the easy brightness (PCB mode) switch, like on the old XRGB-2, so it requires manual adjustment in the setting menu.
