I swear you can hear the screens squeak with joy the first time you let them play a game via their RGB inputs
As far as adding sets to a list I'm not sure how well that will work out for other.
I think a list of Jungle ics and how to handle each one is more appropriate. More often than not I find the same jungle in different branded units.
Maybe for brands write a short paragraph for each like.
Sony
display button is a bitch.
Sony tv's with L2Fil can be horizontal tuned.
Lg
Most units have circuit board layout compatible with a scart header. After installing it's usually just a service menu edit.
Philips chips needs divided power not just 5v and a resistor.
Something like that. Already so much info is lost in this thread.
Also is have to open up the sets to accurately show what I did to make each one work, my memory not good enough against to 10 sets I've done.
Got 2 Sony's a rear projection screen and a quintrix to do today. First Quintrix...
Really though once you have the basics under your belt you can mod any set.
I look at jungles now and find 3 similar caps,follow the traces to 3 termination resistors and just know that's RGB input. Data sheets help a tonne though.
It usually just blanking that's a bitch. I may take some pictures and do a short tutorial on the 3/4 different ways jungles accept blanking.
Not sure how much longer I'll be doing this.
The original intention was to find thrown out tv's and mod them till I have a sweet one PER console.
But I've recently lined up about 90× 28 inch RGB crt wall installation sets. All with fk all use but case scratches as they are ex rentals.
Plan is to make a crt wall and put that fake emulator loader movie everyone puts on their front ends to shame.
