  • UWRC PC-Engine Cordless Controller

    I done some ironical way of UWRC 😉
    Here i am using 3 of the 4 Batteries for powersupply of the UWRC, because of the max. voltage of 5,5V of the UWRC Board.

  • UWRC NES japanese Famicom Controller

    For make it fit into a japanese Famicom Pad you have to cut the PCB at the edges and re add the cutted circuit board.

  • UWRC NeoGeo Board

    I sacrifice my NeoGeo Board to make it wireless with uwrc. thanks to micro again.

    Here I used my Led modded NeoGeo Controller and put all together. Because of the Leds and more need of current. I used a bigger LiPo. The future will tell how long it works.

  • UWRC Competition Pro

    I used a Competition Pro USB (bad USB lag) and changed it into a UWRC Controller.

    It uses Button, A,B,Select,Start (on the triangle Buttons). With the small black switch you can select the triangle Buttons between Select,Start and Button X,Y.

  • UWRC Competition Pro Mini

    I bought some Competition Pro Mini and most of them have brocken microswitches 🙁

    I found some replacements here:

    http://www.voelkner.de/products/43525/Microschalter-Ultraminiatur-5A-250V-Sim.-R.-Hebel.html

    It was very tricky to add the Universal TX PCB in this tiny stick but after all it looks great 🙂
    After removing original parts I add a Led and two more micro switches for Select and Start.

    The chrome switch to swap between Layout Select/Start and Button X, Button Y

    I must move the electronic of the LiPo to put it between the two fire Buttons

  • UWRC Rules

    I done some UWRC Controller in the past.

    Look here for my current Collection. It rules, because its great to have wireless original Controller in you hands and its crosscompatible. You can play eg. with the NeoGeo Controller @ NeoGeo Console, or @ Sega Mega Drive, or @ Super Nintendo, or @ Sega Saturn.

    Other way is possible too. You can play with a Sega Saturn Controller @ NeoGeo Console, or @ Sega Mega Drive, or @ Super Nintendo, or @ Sega Saturn.

    And you are free with controller and console

  • UWRC PC-Engine Receiver

    I used a extension Cable for Mini Din 8 to make the UWRC-RX PC-Engine Reveiver.

    Here you can see some pics.

    Next step is to use a black box for the Duo Receiver

  • Amiga 600/1200 PAL/NTSC Switch

    Recently I got a A1200 NTSC Board. It is running @60Hz. You can set the speed of the Amiga by hitting both mouse buttons at Power Up. But I want to make it permanent to 50Hz because I am living in germany and some games need 50Hz.

    I done some 50/60Hz switches for the Amiga CD32 Unit and it is similar.

    You have to find R203 downunder and use a a switch.  didn’t want to make a hole into the case of the Amiga. Therefore I am using the switch of the RF-Unit. I set it permantly to Channel 2 (but I didn’t think I will never use the RF-Output).

    Here are some pics

    a1200_pal_ntsc_switch_R203 (Large)

    a1200_switch_rf_2 (Large)

    you have to cut two circuits running to the switch. And it is free for 50/60Hz usage.

     

     

  • UWRC NES into a A/V FAMICOM

    This week I got a new toy called UWRC for NES. Thanks micro 🙂
    I have to put the PCB into the NES and with the help of a dremel and a cutter knife it fitts perfectly, like every UWRC PCB from micro.
    NES_UWRC (2)

    NES_UWRC (3)

    Now its time to put the receiver inside my Famicom A/V

    You have to gut a circuit at Pin 4 from the Controllerport and wire it like on the picture.

    Now it works with UWRC Controller and Real Controller too.

    NES_UWRC (4)

    As I have a RGB Mod from Tim Worthington inside and the helper PCB from borti you have to wire the helper pcb „behind“ the cutted wire

    NES_UWRC (5)

    NES_UWRC (7)

    But we need some Input and Led Display too.

    Here I wanted to make it incognito like possible and put the LEDs through the cooling openings.

    The only „bad“ part was the reset button.
    But you didn’t see it at normal viewpoint to the Famicom
