@Ali76Q8 Not currently, sorry. However, we have a PVM-20M4E, two Pioneer PDP V402 plasmas, a 20" BVM and potentially a 12,000 hour count D24E1WE coming soon.

@AnnisWelten @info_JT_Studio_ @borti4938 @JuicyX_Rays @starlightk7 Thank you! Nice work on the Neptune and modified red OpenSHVC build! We're working on the same here, but purple OpenSHVC USA SNES with a clear shell :)

[Consoles4You @Consoles4You]

Finally working on a new batch XBox2Wii Component Pro.
@CastleManiaRyan and @retroupgrades will receive new units within the next weeks.
Also time to show our assembly tester that allows to test without a console.
Notice the digital audio blinking after the second btn press 👀?

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 😄

Here's a video about my latest #RGBCart, that supports both #RGB and #CompositeVideo through the same input: https://t.co/Ar4Xp1zoPo
You can actually do this very easily on most #RGBmonitors, so I wanted to post just that clip here for anyone not interested in the full video.

Grâce au projet OpenSFC de @starlightk7, il est désormais possible de reconstruire des 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝘃𝗲𝘀.

Il suffit de souder des composants neufs et d’origine sur une nouvelle carte mère 🔧

Et si tout se passe bien…
il ne reste plus qu’à jouer 🪼

[Retro Upgrades @retroupgrades]

@topvint @OliverJTearle That’s correct, but please note that the L78S05 is now obsolete. All kits will soon be replaced with a 1A 7805. Remaining stock will be used exclusively for SNES kits (vertical line fix).

[Topvint @topvint]

I refurbished this PC-Engine which wasn't working, and returned it to its former white

[Retro Upgrades @retroupgrades]

We recently took delivery of four JVC DT-V1710CG pro CRT monitors, one of which is now for sale on the website. Worldwide shipping is possible, as each comes with a flight case.
Forgot how good these look, with the flat screen, great size, sharp picture and killer black levels!
