NESRGB seems too high with the pin headers and socket...

[Deka]

Hi,

My NESRGB on a toaster seems like it is too high when I place it into the NES.
It now wobbles in there and I don't want to flex the board when I screw it in.

So, I have the pin headers on the NES board, then the socket placed in the headers, then the NESRGB board.

Can I just solder the socket directly to the board and lower the high a little bit?

What have you all done?
Can some one share a picture of it installed from the side so I can get an idea of the height yours has?

Thanks.

Did you socket the PPU? It won't fit if you socket both the NESRGB and PPU.

[Deka]

No, the PPU is soldered in the NESRGB.

[Deka]

OK,

I had to remove a socket and all is good now.

Another question.
Do you have the bottom RF shield on still?

Do you have the bottom RF shield on still?

I took all the shielding out of my front loader, which I haven't added the NESRGB to yet BTW.

I also created a switch for the lock out chip.
I can enable and disable it on the fly.

You can also put in S-Video too with Tim's kit.
I did that as well. Now I can do RGB and S-video.

I might Add a Component socket for kicks so I can pallet change it, but it's almost whats the point?

What does adding component output have to do with palette switching?

[Pasky]

He said component socket, not component output.

[ApolloBoy]

He said component socket, not component output.

Still doesn't make sense.

[Pasky]

Still doesn't make sense.

He said pallet...not palette. It makes sense if you read what's written.

[opt2not]

Say what now? No, it still doesn't make a lick of sense.

Component sockets:


Pallet:




And why would he put component sockets on this...for component output?? NESRGB doesn't put out a component signal, you'd have to install an extra encoder like a JROK.

I'm so confused.

[Pasky]

Sounds like he wants to socket it to swap out boards (pallets). No idea what he wants to do, but that's what I gathered from reading it.

[opt2not]

Ah I got it now. The vernacular tripped me up.
