Fixing things in my console collection, learning as I go. Learn from my mistakes so you don't have to. Finding home for the pieces I no longer have space for. Questions (and advice!) are very welcome.
Finished making the #shmup collection #pcengine #miniconsole. All (Japanese) pc-engine shoot'em-ups are on it with Japanese names, without missing characters. The font map I made to include the extra characters should be included in the next release of Project Chronos. #hudsonsoft #retrogaming

Edited the font files of the #pcengine mini and added the missing characters to it. Still need to redo the katakana and hiragana, they are still a little off. And used the wrong coords for the "kai" kanji. @chriscovell.bsky.social thanks for spotting the problem :)

Found the cause. The weight of the NESRGB+adapter board hanging causes it to glitch. If I push the NESRGB board while the screen is OK, it will start to glitch. So this has nothing to do with the wiring it seems (I pulled on the wires and it only glitched if I pull hard enough to mode the board).
