Godzilla on PC Engine CD/Turbo Grafx-CD. It's a 1v1 fighting game with kaijus.

I never played Unreal Tournament before, but I have played Ninja Gaiden. I am working on a Windows XP build, so the PC games will be perfect for it.

What an absolutely amazing day of game hunting!

The history behind how this got dumped is quite fascinating. Funny how you just happened to be neighbors with the developer as a kid.

I try to maintain a video every 2 weeks, but even that can be a challenge with my full-time job leaving me more dry than those Alien corpses that became a meme 🙃

Couldn't you have just installed a DIP switch to it?

You want to follow the SYNC path from the PPU2, to the encoder

Fenris Wolf Retro @fenriswolfretro.bsky.social · 11d

Then check the sync signal path. See if any components might've blown.

If it can't boot into the FX Pak at all, it is a faulty CPU. This behavior is common with faulty A Rev CPUs. They're the absolute worst, as they fail in all sorts of random ways.

The traces for the two composite capacitors might be compromised. Make sure you are getting continuity for both caps from the top side, to the bottom side.

I have an idea of what I want...now I just need to find a solution for the HDMI mod that won't cost me an arm and a leg 🙃

I got an A500 I need to work on soon 👀

Shit, for $360, you could get a Neo Geo MVS board and a multicart off Aliexpress. And still have some extra cash to put towards a Supergun to play on a TV 🙃

Fenris Wolf Retro @fenriswolfretro.bsky.social · 15d

Damn, if only you could send it to someone who needs one...

👀

Fenris Wolf Retro @fenriswolfretro.bsky.social · 15d

That is fixable, at least. Just tap CSYNC off the S-CPUN and run it to its next destination!

Oof

Fenris Wolf Retro @fenriswolfretro.bsky.social · 15d

Either your composite capacitor is bad or you have a loose ground in the AV port. I would also advise checking your sync signal.
