When would you get a tutorial with pictures and etc..? :D
Later in the month. I have some events planned, I've got a Gradius board to get up and running again (still need help with that and I made a thread about it) and I need to record the rest of my NES and Famicom games on the Super Retro Trio I have for Super Retro Trio vs. Original Hardware on YouTube which I plan to run alongside RetroN5 vs. Original Hardware (I might be able to get one in the coming weeks). I also have to try and find my own Super Retro Trio, hopefully with a good NOAC and not a bad one that hits false notes left and right.
I will actually make a full write-up of the Super Retro Trio detailing absolutely EVERYTHING I've found about it, either in its own thread or on this thread, like I previously did with the RetroN3 Version 1 and RetroGen Adapter.
Please, when you make your super hyper mega story of Super Retro Trio alerts here, so you can all see it. Cheer!
Definitely. I'm gonna have a lot to cover, so be sure to arm yourself with a lot of patience.
Of course!
Hello people!
I just finished making mods to the console. The sound, the truth .... I have not noticed a difference, maybe I have not played in good condition with the loud music in the megadrive mode.
What if I have noticed is a very good improvement in the S_VIDEO megadrive output mode.
Thanks guys for the tutorials, you are the best ;)
One question, you can change the region to switch megadrive hot?. Because if you hot swap can play PAL games forcing them to 60 hz, but I do not want to break the console. Do you think guys?.
The diode will not change the sound itself, it will remove the buzzing noise you hear during moments of silence.
Ah, ok :D, and........One question, I can change the region to switch megadrive in hot?. Because if you hot swap can play PAL games forcing them to 60 hz, but I do not want to break the consoleQuote:

Worst that can happen is the game might freeze.
Kasios, the TCT-6801 is locked to NTSC output. It doesn't matter what position you have the region switch in, the chipset will ALWAYS output video in NTSC. I have yet to figure out how to get proper PAL output from the chipset.
Regarding an audible change in the Genesis side's audio output, you need to install a Mega Mixer for that. This is a reworking of RetroBit's original amp adapted from the GOAC YM3438 Mega Amp. If you're comfortable with SMD soldering, you could desolder the necessary components on the Genesis motherobard, get the necessary SMD resistors and capacitors, then solder those in. It will sound a lot better than the stock amp, and if you install an unfiltered Mega Mixer, you will get very clear sound. I personally recommend the filtered Mega Mixer as I find unfiltered FM from a Genesis very hard on the ears, not to mention, if you like the sound of the Genesis Model 1 like I do, you will get the exact sound of a VA0 to VA2 Model 1 board without the distortion using a filtered Mega Mixer.
Hi, thanks for answering both. I have 2 repros of street of rage 2 and 3. Told the salesman that I wanted in the PAL format. If I put the two games with the switch to PAL mode loaded, but the music and sound are slow and distorted image looks like. If after loading the game, change the switch to NTSC mode, as I choose a character to play the game, as I load the first screen is the perfect game and oyer. I mean, I'm forcing the game to the real speed, which is 60Hz (NTSC). Same as sonic. The PAL sonic is very very slow, and the music too, but when you load the game put the switch to NTSC the game goes fast and the music is also, say, going to the REAL speed by which it was created the game.
As I said mate console will not break if I do this during the games, I stay quiet as it's the same thing to my megadrive 2 and the mod Hertz (50/60hz).
Ace, I am interested in the mixer Mix you speak to install in Super Retro Trio. How Much?, You have a step by step how to guide plate weld? and pictures?. For these things must take a good tutorial with pictures for dummies like me :P
I don't have any of that yet, I still have 30 some-odd NES games to test on the Super Retro Trio as well as 3 new Super NES games I just picked up. Once I do that, I will put up pictorial guides for each of the different mods you can apply to the Super Retro Trio.
Also, regarding the Mega Mixer, with the appropriate SMD resistors and capacitors, you can integrate it directly into the Super Retro Trio's Genesis motherboard in place of the original circuit. You remove the existing components on the circuit, then put in the ones for the Mega Mixer and off you go.
I was initially thinking about doing a new thread for that, but I moved on to other things now so I would be glad If you do it Ace. You can use the pictures I put in this thread for the S-Video jailbar fix and the Diode fix. As long as you give me credits for the S-Video mod you can can use anything I posted in this thread in your guides.Quote:

I agree, it would be better if the fix preserved the composite. I had tried a few things in that regard but I did not succeed. I still think the fix is interesting and I would suggest documenting it none the less, with a clear indication that it is a compromise or unfinished work. Not only does It offer a strong improvement of S-video, but it could also send other potential modders on the right course to find a fix that preserves the composite. But of course I leave it to your discretion.Quote:
