Projects

Just finished modding my PC Engine CD system to RGB video output

The results are great, click the image above for more info on this project.

I can now play my Nintendo Famicom console on my TV with this modification.

Just got another system that was on my wanted list for some time. The PC Engine, Interface Unit and CD-Rom2.

I’ve had a Duo console for a while but nothing beats the original pair, like the Megadrive and MegaCD; just looks so cool.

Its very hard to find one of these CD drives that works, and I’m lucky that this one does although the audio playback is skipping a bit. Still not bad when you think that its heading to 30 years old!
I’m planning to give this system a full servicing, new laser unit, capacitor kit and RGB video mod.

A good friend of mine has been busy playing with the Orange Pi board (a more powerful version of the Raspberry Pi). He’s set up a WordPress website actually hosted on the tiny computer, and is keeping a blog of his network and programming projects.

I have finally got round to painting the metal covers on my Sega Naomi universal cabinet.
Looks great with new lettering on the side.

The aluminium were sand blasted and primed before painting.

Very happy with the results.

I’m currently building an Amiga 1200 system tower.

So far the motherboard is in the case and booting from HDD. Power is supplied via the AT PSU to the Mediator PCI busboard.
Just waiting for the Blizzard CPU card and Voodoo3 before any further.

New project page added describing how I got the Sega Netboot to work with the Raspberry Pi.
Much easier than connecting a laptop to the arcade machine to boot a new game.

Just some photos and noted on restoring my Amiga CD32 console.
