Title: PC Engine LT & IFU-30 Not working
Post by: Vimtoman on October 19, 2015, 12:44:57 AM

I've just bought a PC Engine LT and an IFU-30 this month but they dont seem to work together.
A Core Grafix II works OK with the briefcase.
Does the LT have to be powered on a separate PSU or do I need to mod the IFU-30?

you will need separate power, the dock isn't enough to power the LT

I think I'm going to have a look and see if it's possible.
The LT must be powered on a different pin.
As long as the external PSU is man enough It should be Ok.

im not sure how much the power the screen requires but that might be the deal breaker...
