Title: Some TG16 mods I've done
Post by: TmEE on September 28, 2009, 08:31:05 PM

Thanks to Tomaitheous I recently got a TG16 and as a RF and composhit hatin' European, the first thing the TG16 experienced was a RGB mod, and additional audio out so I can directly hook it to my HiFi  :D

How things turned out :

There is some slight horizontal blurring (much less than SNES/SFC) but I guess I can fix it by adding couple of extra resistors...

I was not too happy with the standard controller so I built another one, using a lovely Famiclone controller as a basis for the new TG16 controller.

Red buttons are Turbo buttons, and I think the fastest setting too :)

sorry for huge pics, I don't know if here is any auto/rezise tag......

Nicely done, but you really need to give that controller a good scrubbing.  Did you find it while digging for treasure in your backyard?  :)

When I begin to clean up the hucards and TG16 itself, the controller will get its share of washing too :P

But first I'll add switch mode voltage regulator there so that I would not need any meaningful heatsink in the setup and a nice decrease in power consumption is always something desirable :)

I love how the controller's buttons have "A" and "B" scratched on to them :).
