Thanks!!! I'm very happy right now. Regarding the gray stuff,I think is an epoxi glue. It came with the PCB.

Huzzah!  Congrats on fixing another system!

Out of curiosity, what're the blobs of gray stuff that look like clay?

Saru is the guy that did FX Unit Yuki.  But ignore becker; that's just the latest alt from nintega, a perpetual assclown troll.

There's certainly nothing wrong with posting the videos here, as I'm sure a few peeps are not aware of them.  I just need to decide to watch them, rather than rewatching some sitcom for the umpteenth time.

All is working well now. The R718 is (very) tiny 820 ohm resistor as you can see from the smd marks (821).  So, another (turboexpress) that doesn't bite the dust 

Thanks!!

I think those are 330 Ohm resistors. Check using a multi meter and just solder in another resistor of the correct value. It may not cause any long term damage just bypassing it, but I'm sure the resistors are there for a reason. You don't have to get a super small 0603 surface mount resistor. Any size will do as long as it fits and it's the correct value.

Glad you found the issue.

I tried to get into this one, as there are nice things about it, but I just couldn't.  Yeah, it does feel like an Amiga platformer.

  I figured most of you would know about this YouTube channel already, but I thought, just in case . . .

I've never used Discord, though I am under the impression that it's a big thing online.

Who is Sarumaru? Never heard of them.

Have you tried watching video at 1.5x speed?  It's slow enough to follow, but could save you many minutes of viewing time.  I've done that for recap episodes in anime, for example.

Is PCE Works peddling free roms and isos or are they selling reproductions at exorbitant prices, occasionally passing them off as legitimate goods, and taking translations without permission or even giving them credit for their work?

Only an idiot would think that's equivalent to someone using a flash drive or burning themselves a cdr.

You're too stupid to realize that there's not a ton of traffic here, eh?

These videos are posted in discord regularly, but I've not watched any yet.  So much shit to do and so little time to do it.

For fucks sake, ninny.  Will you ever grow the fuck up?

Linking of roms and isos isn't allowed, but simple discussion of their existence has never been a problem.  In fact, it's been quite common and we've recommended their use regularly.

But I thought you all were in a "Fuck PCE Works" movement. Change of heart?
