Excellent game.

D Terminal to component video breakout cable, for my Xselect D4. RGB can now be transcoded to component through the Xselect and played on my friends TVs when I visit.

Dopeness. What I really want is this when it's released.

That makes two of us. Looks fantastic.

Today's goods:



(1) SCART extension cable. I rewired this cable to be a Euro SCART to JSCART adapter, so I can plug my systems into Input 5 on my Xselect D4, and output component video to display on friend's american TVs when I visit.

(2) K4 Super 16 bit converter. This is one of the better passthrough adapters for SFC/SNES consoles. It physically allows any combination of game and system so long as the proper NTSC/PAL cart is in the passthrough slot to have its region chip read.

Pre order arrived. Strictly for nostalgia.

Well this isn't something I bought exactly, but this seems the most appropriate topic until a "Awesome Stuff you've just made" topic exists.



I made this VGA-SCART cable this morning. My X-select D4 will transcode 480i component to 15khz RGB just fine, but it only outputs VGA type RGB signals (separate H/V sync signals) and not composite sync. So I wired up the H/V sync combined onto the composite video input pin, which works fine when it's run through a little JROK sync cleaner board in another part of my setup. No more VGA-BNC breakout cables and tons of BNC-RCA adapters, it goes into the SCART switch like everything else.

It's still the best record they ever made.

Just got me a copy of Thunder Force Gold Pack 1!

Well, only the case with manual and spine. Seems like the seller didn't pay attention, so I got the disc of Gold Pack 2 lol

Gonna enjoy Thunder Force 4 as long as it may last

Been poking at this little project for a few days on and off, finally finished it today.

Basically just a "consolized" JROK video sync cleaner/sync combiner. It cost about $5 to make(not inculding the cleaner pcb's cost).

The project box is a random 99 cent sewing thread holder I found at goodwill with an opening top if I need to change the jumper. I cannibalized the barrel connector from a camera's docking station(the camera itself was stolen from us a while back), and it accepts +5v DC from an extra PSP charge cord I have.

It cleans and combines the sync from my X Select D4's output into proper composite sync.

proper composite

Something there sounds off...

Composite is never proper. Get component!

(Relax, it's just a joke. )

Oh, lol. It's just the composite sync, not video so I didn't get it at first. Yeah composite video is most improper.

I came to regret selling off my SF4 TE Fightstick shortly after I did so, so I took advantage of a sale at the Capcom booth which made these pretty cheap at PAX and bought another one (this one's a MvC one.) They threw a MvC3 shirt into the deal too.

Oh, and I also had a chance to lose a couple of rounds of SF4 to Justin Wong. Badly.

[rapoon]

Like that? =) I picked that little guy up for a fraction of its MSRP. Plus the seller sent me 4 additional high quality russian tubes.

Vexorg,

That is an awesome stick!

GIMME!

Does that thing make copy via USB or do you smoke herbs out of it? Honestly, though, I feel quite embarrassed as I cannot figure out what it is...
