Pretty slick, there sure is alot of unused area on that pcb!  Should be plenty of room to get the case back on with that RGB mod in place... :)  Thanks for the pics.

thanks for the pics :)

ON r-type:
yeah, i don't know if that is the r-type hucard or a system card in SGX. i'm too lazy to look it up :)

well after looking at it again, it DEFINITALLY looks like a System Card.

so therefore I am also guessing that the SGX there is also hooked up to a CD-ROM unit (look at all the wires) somewhere, so it could play R-Type Compete CD.


edit: nope I was wrong.  it is R-Type on HuCard  :P

found a pic on Ebay of the PC Engine R-Type Hucard

Really sorry to revive this long dead topic.. but does anyone have pictures of the guts of a DUO or DUO-R? Im interested in installing a decent heat-sink for the processor. Going to do an RGB mod eventually also. But, i cant find my security torx bits :(  I'm going to have to pick up another set, but im curious to see the guts in the meantime :D

I have a US Duo apart that I can take pics of, but if I remember correctly the cpu might be on the backsided of the board - good luck getting a heatsink on it if it is.

Go to nfg (http://nfggames.com/games/). Specifically, check the forums and ask there: http://nfggames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=4 (be sure to check out the wiki / old posts first!)

Found what i was looking for on d-lites site. Turns out the duo-r is already heatsinked-to-death.
