Thanks for making it just a little bit clearer as to why those Newtronics heads cannot be repaired. I'd never seen the innards of one before. Has anyone actually tried to contact the manufacturer? Where has all of the original machinery gone?

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use the "AT28C64" profile and not the "AT28C64E" as shown in the video. The "E" profile uses tighter programming cycles and can occasionally fail to program the NEAT2364

man... I just cannot see the appeal of using an HDMI screen to run an NES on. This thing should be run on a CRT, really. Very cool, shoving the signal through that jack, but this thing is just too old for this to be proper.

Good job sir!

Hi What is the grease and oil you used Need to get them too Thank u

Nice, I might follow this at some point. I've kept my rev5 A500 on 1.3 while my A1200 is on latest. But, I've toyed with the idea of upgrading my 500 to latest too. At least now I know how to do the board fix without needing those adapters 👍

I made some changes on my device and now I have HDR, VRR, 1440p, and the Shadow Mask effect, which is cool. However, I haven't quite figured out the new HDMI VIC functionality yet. Whenever I change it, the HDMI output starts acting strangely. Do you know what the HDMI VIC is supposed to do?

Thanks for this mate. My diagrom didn't work on my rev 5 (but worked in rev6) and NOW I know why.....

I think that A17 have always same level when accessing KS, so activity on this line happens when KS is not selected, 1.3 is located at 0xFC0000, so if i'm not wrong at 0xF80000 A17 is low, and at 0xFC0000 A17 is high.

The diag rom didn’t work because there was no sticker over the window 😂😂

It has been a long time but I remember the Kickstart 2.04 upgrade kit came with a wire soldered between two of the pins on the ROM. I recall that for A2000's and newer A500's, the wire was supposed to be cut but left in-place for older A500's. Doing a search, it appears this wire shorted pins 1 and 31.

A while ago i sold 3 512k trap door ram expansions for the Amiga 500 as faulty cause they did not work on my Rev6A A500. I got about $10 each for them and the buyer was happy as they messaged me in delight and told me that the ram expansions work. Some months had passed and i tried another ram expansion that i know works and that too did not get recognized by my A500. I have a 2 meg ram expansion that plugs into the side expansion port and that works fine. What could be causing My Rev6A A500 to not see the trap door Ram expansions??

From what I remember the resistor packs were needed for stability with some later roms. I have an HE500 with similar damage but its also got a ram fault i think.

🍪 Be glad you even get this. I just woke up again, in bed sick. ☣️

Thanks for the video! I have somehow lost the power cable of the laser assembly and I can't find a way to make one. I seem to not be able to find the right connector size (I don't know what they're called so I'm looking mostly randomly...).

Hi, I built one of your rf modulators and installed it in my 1986 breadbin 64 with longboard 250425. It improved composite video, but there is a lot of colour smearing at the s-video output. I tried 2 different tv, 2 different cable, and 2 different psu, but all of them had the same effect. What did I do wrong, and what should I check for?

Nice to see a clean job.

can this work for laptop fans as well?

Hi, will you please let us know when this is available for ntsc? Or at least updates?

thank you again for this video. the section on open head coils really helped. I have a diagnostic and alignment kit in the mail so in a week I'll have a working disk drive. the coils measure good so it's likely a chip failed if not then it's an alignment issue.

16:48 why does it seem like the game is running twice fast as it should?

👀

Is it running faster than stock? Looks like it.

Very nice!!

GND is connected in the modulator. Only 1 wire needed. 😊

For my understanding: The VIC-II-dizer sniffs on the digital lines (data, adress and so on)? So it must basically a nearly full reimplementation of a VIC II to reproduce the video signal or am I wrong? If I want to install a HDMI solution wouldn't it be better to route out digital signals to an HDMI signal generator? That should need six lines for the C64 (16 colours = 4 lines, clock and sync) and no fine tuning to synchronize the HDMI generator on it. Or do I get anything wrong? If you have one HDMI generator you share between different machines the LumaCode idea has its charme and saves mones, that's clear.

you care about composite because of light gun games

Am I correct in concluding that Lumacode will not be coming to the N64 because it's only suited to low-res & low-colour depth outputs (which the N64 would exceed)?

add low temp solder and flux to the pads. it will reduce the melting point to about 130 deg C and then you can use hot air or soldering iron. For the bad condition boards it is the safest

Isn't there a stereo mod for this thing?

Are you TheDamoMonster?

does this in some way add "lag" (sorry not beeing bright nuff) :D

can't get the damn thing to stop when the temp is below the lower threshold. it's spinning at its min rpm even if I set that threshold to the highest value.

Note: as a gamer myself, I find that, scart, composite, component, s-video and RF is supported by the SNES as is most consoles of av support I would not connect not connect a tv desiigned to run on uk power source just because scart is supported don't mean it is compatible in australia

alright, thanks for showing the way!

Too many fond memories of my nes don't think I'd risk it besides these consoles work best on CRT TVs. Use the NES classic for modern playing.

The washed out color palette is not so nice. Hopefully therell be an update. Thanks for the video that this is now possible with the Ossc. Wouldve missed it 😮

Back in the days I had 128D. It was very easy to just add a resistor, throttling the noisy fan. machine was running for years without any issues.

Great work. But why?

How come this video is in 4:3?

I’d love to see a reverse of this so that I can game on my 80’s console TV

When I was about 12, I got put on restriction for skipping school and part of that restriction meant I wasn't allowed to play video games. I dug out an old black and white TV from the back of my closet to try and sneak some nintendo but the TV was so old that it had no connectors built in to it. All it had was 2 screws for a twin lead wire that you could hook up to an antenna. I stripped the ends on a small bit of twin lead and shoved the frayed wires into the back of the Nintendo's AV port. It had a bit of static and you had to keep the wires shoved in there just right but Mario was back in business.

Can you reverse back to 804?

Do you know if it works with the Commodore 16 or Plus 4 series? Do you have either one of those you could test it on?

Is that additional signal the only difference between old on OSSC and new one? What wonders me is why the jailbars are no longer present. BTW. Do you have by chance workig upper head for C128? Mine have that flexible support broken.

Sadly my OSSC lasted about 2 weeks before it gave up the ghost while Playing Ultima IV on the Amiga 500 😩

DVI can carry audio. It’s not part of the spec so we call it “enhanced DVI” but the HDMI device on the other end is none the wiser. 1.5 or earlier OSSCs with didn’t do audio either whether you got the HDMI or DVI version. The only difference was that you needed assemble your own DIY OSSC kit for HDMI back then since the creators didn’t want to run afoul of HDMI licensing. Neither DVI nor HDMI OSSCs supported audio until we got new firmware with a mod board from Borti4938 (Peter Bartmann). Obviously, they rolled the upgrade into 1.6+ versions of the OSSC when they also started selling them preassembled with physical HDMI ports, but it was never tied to that port. You really could get an HDMI OSSC with no audio before they started selling 1.6.

I literally subscribed to you when you NES video came out, anticipating this video, and even shared that one around… only to see this as “recommended” instead of in my subscription feed. Sure enough: I wasn’t subscribed even though I’m 1,000% sure I subscribed before.

You think they could also do the same for the XRGB-Mini ? I don't really need to be buying another Upscaler ?

Amazing work, video, and product! So you think there will be an upgrade where you can save the settings, or did I miss that? Thanks for sharing
