I've been reading this forum for a while about sound modding and so.
YM3438 chip and some NE5532 OpAmp's where laying around a while but last night i managed to make some time to mod my Megadrive.
Soldered a RGB-Scart cable, Piggybacked the YM3438 on the original one and made a preamp with the NE5532 on a breadbord.
Wanted an external preamp since the original Headphone output is a bit broken. Fixed the US-EU-Jap switch.
And after figgling around with the shitty breadbord it worked ! But couldn't play loud since it was night.
But today ive played a bit around and oooh boy... i feel like a kid again !
Playing on US mode give the Megadrive a fullscreen instead of these bars on top and down and the speeds is correct. And the sound is amazing !
But ive noticed the bass in SOR2 and MUSHA is a bit rough and heavy. Is it the music it self ? Because when i listen to other games its smooth and punchy.
Anyway's... thanks for the people who share their knowledge on this forum and share it with other games to enjoy their console to the max !!![]()
