  • internal PC Engine UWRC Receiver

     

    I used my IFU-30 Unit, so there was no need to remove the RF Unit. As I didn’t wanted some wires to the left or right side.

    I put all needed connections to the rear side. Power, RGB-Out, Audio Out.

    I opened the RF-box removed the orignal switch and replaced it with UWRC switch.

    ground to one side and the other side of the switch to the uwrc board

    thanks again to micro, for his great Idea how to make the UWRC plugable, by removing the filters.

    Great feature, you can power off and on the PC-Engine via holding select and Run for around 1sec. Ideal for users of everdrives. Hope this feature will find his place in all new internal receivers from micro 😉

  • NeoGeo AES 3-5 RGB Bypass with THS 3714

    thanks to arcadeTV we have a optimized Version with THS 3714 for NeoGeo AES 🙂

    -cut left side of the three 6,8k resistors for input rgb input of ths amplifier

    -cut the left side of the three 75 ohm resistors for output to the din 8.1

    -cut BF for sync output to the din 8.1

    the perfect voltage divider values for bypass PCB :

    R1,R2,R3=7,51k

    R4,R5,R6=2,29k

    @ AES 3-5 Mainboard Pin 3 Comp Video and Pin 7 C-Sync are the same on both you will get Comp. Video.

    After the modification its is neogeo conform Pin3 comp. Video and Pin 7 C-Sync comming from the THS RGB Bypass PCB

  • UWRC Capcom Power Stick Fighter MD

    out of the 90th this Capcom Fighter Stick was a great peace of its time. I used the rarely MD Version, because I love white more as black.

    Branded to capcom, nice, never seen something like this before 🙂

    But its time to desolder the original Capcom heart. So we didn’t get any interfear

  • UWRC meets NEOGEO PAD2

    thanks to micro I got a TX for a great controller the neogeo CD Controller in the PS2 Version called NEOGEO PAD 2 Controller.

  • Atari 2600 gets internal UWRC wireless Receiver

    I used a old revision (rev1) of micros neogeo Receiver and put it inside of the A2600 6 swich.

    I was modified before with A2600RGB from tim worthington and I used some more switches like select, reset from the Atari and extra button from tim worthingstons 2600RGB PCB

    UWRC

    Button A = normal FireButton 1 of Atari (Pin 6)

    Button B = Firebutton 2 (Pin 9)

    Select  =    Extra Button A2600RGB PCB

    Start  = Start of Atari 2600

    Button C= Select of Atari 2600

    Button D = Palette switch A2600RGB PCB

     

    All normal Controllers will work after mod too. Like paddle, racing, joystick.

    (diodes, needed to make special functions from A2600RGB working, R=10k as pullup)

  • UWRC PC Engine Shuttle Controller

    A futuristic styled Controller for the PC-Engine Shuttle. Now its time to make it wireless.

    thanks to the PCB of micro and some reposition of the led usb powersupply it works great.

    I put it at the hole of the original wire and with some hotglue it works

  • PC Engine Duo R/RX RGB Mod with bypass PCE-TV

    Nothing really new, only to see how to add THS Amplifier working in a Duo R / RX.

    I used Pin 44 of HU C6260 C-Sync for Sync. So you have to cut the Video Signal to the Din Connector (yellow wire).

    Black wire is optional, for „more“ GND

     

    duo_rx_1

    For the Din Pinout I used the old French Layout born in the 90ths. With RGB added to the 3 new Pins of the Din 8.1. The rest of Pins are untouched (exeption C-Sync)

    3 resistors 22 Ohm are used for make PCE-TV work to output around 0,7V. The PCB is the 1st Revision of micro. Power is taken from a Elko nearby. (orange/black=GND, orange/red=5V)

    Jailbars removement

    After checking the picture there are jailbars 🙁

    After replacement of two  capacitor the picture is great.

    replace C909 and C923 with 4,7uf down under Hu C6260
