Hey guys!
Just bought Tim Worthington's RGB mod a couple weeks back and I can't wait to install it! One thing that I unfortunately learned too late is that the 3.3v rail on the power supply can have dirty power, especially in more demanding games. Thankfully someone makes a board add-on that fixes this issue for the RGB mod.
I was bummed to find out that nobody longer makes these boards, and I feel out of luck. I figured I'd reach out here if anyone had any spare that I could purchase!
Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!
Anybody have a spare N64 3.3v Regulator for T. Worth. RGB?

Here's the OSHPark link if you're unable to find an assembled one: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/ofIFYk5I
Won't be bad to assemble if you have some good flux, but since you have to order in 3's from OSHPark hopefully somebody has a spare they made.

Must be an old modboard as the past few revisions have fixed this issue.

Is it the RT9193-25GB that was added in board version 2 that finally fixed it?

Thanks for all the replies! Yes you guys are right, the issue has since been fixed with later board revisions. I didn't realize this at the time since there was a 3.3v pad still on Tim's board as opposed to the 12v with a regulator on the revised board Arthrimus is selling. Neither of their sites (as far as I can tell) document this change on Tim's later-revised board so I had no idea. I love the RGB modding community but it's so hard to track what's current when we've been up to it for so long!
The final confirmation was from Tim himself after sending him an email. Just wanted to give a shoutout to him as I've been so thankful for his dedication to his product so far, it's been a pleasure working with him and I hopefully look forward to ordering more from him again!

I have a very early board so same question for me really. If I can avoid the rabbit hole of ohspark and buy a complete board from someone I would be delighted.
