The Hakusho just hit a mil!
Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to check it out. I've almost finished 2 more scripts. Stay tuned

So I've had a lot of questions after the release of #OpenKSK if I would be making a board for the JVC variant of the #SegaCD / #MegaCD 1.

The biggest problem was I didn't have one...

@1upRestorations sent one over so it's officially in queue.

I will also have other KSKs soon

The KSK-1310A (Sony Sega CD 2) and the -11 -12 and -13 models of OpenKSK are coming, as well as the KSK-1230A for Neo Geo CD.

I've been saving up funds for the next manufacturing run and in a few weeks more of the tariffs are supposed to expire. I'm hoping that will allow me to bring the next run of boards with lower US pricing.

So apparently Sony & Playstation are shocked and are having panic over the pushback 😂

Seems they are waiting for Microsoft to take over the news with the insane layoffs and studio closures.

MAKE SURE WE DON'T FORGET NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Damn. Having a physical game collection is so sick. Owning things is great. Like really great.

[Bawkbasoup @Bawkbasoup]

Attention all Resident Evil Outbreak fans :) I'm doing a challenge today to try to finish the game with friendly fire on while people from the chat try to stop me!! Come join if you have the game working 🤓 I'll be cycling new people out every death

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Woke up to see another customer successfully finished their #OpenSFC build. Congrats @AnnisWelten 🥳

You can build both #SNES and #SuperFamicom units and we've had lots of people finish their build successfully now 😄

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Got 7 #OpenSFC systems draft assembled 👀

All are 1/1/1 systems. Need to get them tested then it's time to mod them up for the benchmarks 😄

We'll be testing and collecting data on all of the different #SNES / #SuperFamicom edge mods, which will be shared with the public

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Back at it finishing up the machines for the upcoming #OpenSFC benchmarks. Stalled out the last few days from running out of flux 🫠

Finishing up a red #SNES. 😎 Next up is a blue #SuperFamicom 😄

Still have a few machines to go, then have to mod them all 😛

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Ran out of flux before I finished the next red #OpenSFC for the benchmarks last night 🥲

Turns out when you start cranking out a bunch of full units you can go through it faster than your normal consumption rate 🫠

WIP though 😎 TBC after I replenish supplies 😅

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Finishing up a beautiful purple #SuperFamicom for the upcoming #OpenSFC benchmarks. 😄

Next up will be a red #SNES 🤩

Passing the halfway point. Few more builds to go then we start installing the mods and setting up the tests 👀

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

When I finish up the #SegaCD and #MegaCD sub board repros, we're going after building a full repro clear shell'd Tower of Power 🤩

The pieces are in motion to make this possible 👀

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Built out a slick black #SNES tonight for use in the upcoming #OpenSFC benchmarks. 😎

Well also be building a black #SuperFamicom soon will model it in various shells once I finish assembling the remaining motherboards 😄

https://t.co/Q9MMQQcQvX

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Finished up the basic Green HASL build for use in the upcoming #OpenSFC benchmarks.

It looks quite nice and is very affordable; set of boards is 3000円 on my Ko-Fi or $25 @1upRestorations

This one is gonna be a #SuperFamicom but I'll build a #SNES too

https://t.co/JTo6rAZRO0

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Finishing up a gorgeous blue #OpenSFC for use in the upcoming OpenSFC benchmarks. 🤩

This one is gonna be a #SNES but the other one will be a #SuperFamicom 😄

I'll take some model pics in some of the shell variants tomorrow 😎

https://t.co/JTo6rAZRO0

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Working on finishing up all the builds for the #OpenSFC benchmarks. 😄

Finished up all the sound boards. 🤩

Need to start with on the top side of the main boards after work tomorrow. 😅

#SNES #SuperFamicom

https://t.co/Q9MMQQcQvX

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Cranking out a big batch of #OpenSFC builds... Several #SNES and #SuperFamicom are in the works. 😎

Then I'm gonna mod them all up and put them to the test 👀

I have some goodies to benchmark on these... 🧐

I'm gonna get data. Lots of raw data. All of those different takes of edge mods out there are going head to head, and we'll check out a new audio mod as well. 🤩

Each host system will be a 1/1/1 SHVC build of OpenSFC so that they all have the chip revisions.

Mods:
* Torapu/Buttersoft Mod from the Shmups forum
* Mike J Moffitt SHVC Video Improvement Kit from @kadenken
* @retrosixuk Edge Buster / CleanRGB Combo
* @innocuosmuffin 's OSHW SNEdge
* Voultar Edge Enhancer
* cstomi's Edge Sharpener from eBay
* Delphius 's OSHW Super Wave Blaster Audio Mod

6 Video mods and 7 OpenSFC builds. One will remain unmodded, and I'll also throw in an unmodded stock SHVC and a SNESRGB modded SFC Jr. for comparison.

I'll gather tons of raw data with the #RT4K and #Morph4K and I have @HDRetrovision SNES Cables, @Insurrection33 's SNES S-Video/SCART and @retrosixuk CleanRGB SCART cables as well to test with as appropriate.

I'll also get MDFourier captures for both models of SHVC-SOUND (with and without the anti distortion resistors), with and without the audio balance mod, with and without the metal cage, and also compared to the Super Wave Blaster audio mod.

Avermedia GC573 + MOTU M4 will be used for data capture. The data will be compiled and released along with a blind test suite

All parts for this coming run of benchmarks were purchased independently with my own funds to do compatibility testing with my boards. No vendor provided me a kit, so I don't owe any favors to anyone that could influence results.

As a motherboard vendor, I don't intend to take a stance on any particular mod review wise. I'll simply gather raw data while doing compatibility testing with my boards and you all can make use of the data to make your own decisions, knowing what kind of results you'll get if you choose to build a OpenSFC with a given mod.

As OpenSFC is a faithful reproduction, I would also expect the base results to be a valid comparison to stock, but we'll prove whether or not that's true with the stock board versus unmodded OpenSFC 😃

With that said, while I'm finishing up these builds...

What would you guys like to see included in the benchmark suite? 🤔

I have a variety of ideas in mind already, but if you have particular games and/or scenes you'd like to see that you believe will illustrate strengths or weaknesses in these mods, let me know. 😛

I will, within reason depending on how many requests there are, try to include them all along with the set I have in mind myself 😄

Only 2 days away from the end of the Kickstarter! Let's give it our all, Tamers!

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

So I paired my #OpenKSK with cosam's main board. It looks great together. As soon as I finish the sub board we can build the whole machine...

But need to convince someone talented in 3D modeling to make us a clear shell. Will give free boards for model 🥹

#SegaCD #MegaCD

[starlightk7 @starlightk7]

Making some #OpenSFC controllers tonight for an old friend. His birthday is today 😃

If you're pairing them with a US #SNES then the purple version goes great with the stock colors and buttons.

Awesome combo with a purple OpenSFC as well.
