[Tech Talk]Hi from Portland, I collect, upgrade, and repair old consoles
Hi, I got into retro gaming a few years ago when I dug out my old SNES and NES consoles. I started repairing and modding consoles while looking to get the best video quality out of these systems. I've been installing RGB mods and other retro system upgrades for a couple years now.
I have about 50 NES and SNES games, but mainly use flash carts for most of my systems. I picked up a bunch of Universal Game Cases and printed out some covers from thecoverproject.net. They look pretty nice on a shelf but unfortunately don't fit SNES manuals.
Here's some projects I've worked on so far:
Hi-Def NES
NESRGB
SNES RGB/S-video mod
TG16/PC-Engine RGB Amp
Ultra HDMI N64
Starfox 2 SNES cart (made from Stunt Race FX)
Backlit SP-101 Screen in an original GBA

Neat projects!
If you enjoy collecting original media, I have some higher value and/or harder to find games that I would trade for some RGB modding services. Please message me if interested.
Have you ever tried monkeying with Sega Genesis or Turbografx-16 mods or are you strictly a Nintendo guy?
Yes. I know you can't really shoot ducks through an HDMI-connected display.
Maybe you can tell me if the dog barks 1 time or 3 times when you start a game of Duck Hunt on Hi-Def NES...? I did my own Hi-Def NES install (pretty good, if I do say so myself). I deliberately installed my Hi-Def NES in a system with screwed-up video output to salvage that NES, so I just want to know if mine is bad.
Yes. I know you can't really shoot ducks through an HDMI-connected display.
I hooked up my front loader high def nes and here are results.
HDMI connected = 1 bark
Same console hooked with composite = 3 barks
AVS = 3 barks

Thanks! Your work looks awesome, BTW!
