Famicom | AV Mod

Still more excuses to justify your own failure. You are already feasting on the the great results of this "so called genius" (as you name him) so I won't bother to post a pic of the insides because you still won't understand a thing.
The mod is described in detail on FW, mine is nothing different than that. I only posted gameplay pics so you could see what the result is when the mod is done properly , something that you fail to do. Maybe next time you should opt for a premodded system , seems more suitable for your skills.

@ Pikkon:
exactly, the PPU is shielded as described on fw

 

Myself I'm not sure I have much sympathy left for people who attempt to mod themselves that should've known their abilities weren't yet enough.
Too many stories gone wrong, Saturn in particular.

 

Where's the fun if you don't try though? :smile-new:
You can't learn without learning, right?

*Pulls quote from the front page of retrojunkie.net*

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

 

Have to agree, we've all been n00bs at some time or other, in fact I'm a super n00b but I managed to get a decent result from my famicom and picked up a few things in the process (thanks to a few peeps on here and a few other places) : )

 

Well I guess it's a matter of sensibly expanding your limits. One step at a time and all that cliche stuff.

 

Actually I think that combatRocked was referring to the amp and not the copper wrapping method, although I wouldn't have chosen his exact words, I do think that the Kyuusaku schematic (which the FW schematic is actually based upon) produces better results than the FW schematic. Only due to my personal experiences in applying the mod of course.

I'm curious as to why kyuusaku's "Nintendo" schematic was changed? Purely from a learning stand point, obviously.

 

Hahaha yep! Baby steps! :encouragement: (But smoke and flames can be fun too!)

That reminds me, will you be lengthening your controller cables? I can't believe how short they are!
I guess no one in the 80's had 50" TVs, so there was no need to sit back 2 metres...! :congratulatory:

 

I was going to get a Hudson or hori controller for that very reason but I read somewhere that some games won't allow you to use those controllers in one player games? I'll still probably get one though : )

 

There is nothing wrong to try or even kill things when you attempt to work with them. ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong, that's how one learns.
But claiming people are "clueless" or know nothing because your attempts resulted to failure is just wrong. I can't really put it simpler than that.

 

I was just thinking about this the other day and was wondering wouldn't it be possible to simply gently slide the copper tape underneath the chip then stick it at the top? Rather than going to the trouble of desoldering the whole chip? The gap is thin enough to fit some desoldering braid so I don't see why the tape wouldn't fit, obviously you'd have to be careful that it wasn't shorting any of the pins but is there any reason why this wouldn't work? As long as it was pulled tight around the chip to prevent it touching the board underneath and to reduce the gap between the chip and the tape of course.

 

Did this to my fami.:encouragement:

 

Wow your famicom looks so much cleaner than mine, my console is a very dark yellow and is pretty grubby, it's my own fault for buying a cheap machine but never mind.
Is it worth lengthening the cables? The thought did cross my mind and I think I have a couple of cables left over from some scrap xbox controllers but it struck me that it would just add to the cable mess around the console lol.

 

The mod isn't finished at stated so I haven't failed. I've modded many systems myself and had no problems. Nice Try.
What is doing the mod properly? Because there is no definitive way of doing this mod and that's why this blooming thread exist in the first place.
"I won't bother to post a pic of the insides because you still won't understand a thing" What total and utter bull shit. If you don't want to help others that are trying to mod their console and are just posting so you can talk shit about me, go me make your own thread.

 

funny stuff really, coming from a person that stated this at the previous page:

got any more jokes to share? or by "tried" you mean you did a half-assed job and it didn't work so now somehow it's someone else's fault?

sure you are the best!

sorry can't really help you if:
a. you can't see the shots I posted
b. can't follow some simple instructions , once again the mod is the same as in the fw instructions, what part don't you understand from that statement? opening up the machine and post a pic so you can see the same thing is not worth doing really.

so yeah.... good luck with your mod and try not to blame others for your own failures in the future... acting like a jerk calling people clueless and then feel "bad" because someone tells you to cut your bs will only get you this far.
If you want real help then post pictures of your own mod work so people can see and tell you if anything is wrong. It's that simple.

 

My "clueless" comment was a response to these posts, and I agree with them. No one at Famicom World can agrees with each other, it's a shambolic mess or in other words clueless.

The amp of his doesn't get rid of the jailbars. Where did I blame anyone?

I never said I was the best.

I can follow instructions, I haven't blamed anyone, I haven't failed, I haven't acted like a jerk. Yet you are the one coming here attacking me. Trying to say I said things I didn't say and attack my character and try an belittle me to get your point across. Stick to the facts and stop your bullshit.

 

I have awoken the beast http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=23db2nrub6mdl1nj2nriudmg12&topic=9084.0

 

@CombatRocked

Don't try to act like a "victim" or playing stupid with words. You have awaken nothing and actually I am the only one bothering with this over here because I am sick tired of the crap I see posted.
So good luck with your mod and I wish you solve your problems with the help you find here, there are very helpful people here and you agree with them: win-win.

 

...back on topic, here are some pics of my latest developments :

The colours may look a little dark but that's probably down to using two 330 resistors I'm still waiting for the extra components that I ordered, but as you can see the results look pretty decent and I haven't had to touch the PPU, I could just see myself snapping a leg or something lol

Once again thanks to retrojunkie, Calpis and wilykat for all the help and information.

 

Not that I particularly want to fuel the fire any more but I didn't 'screw up' my AV mod, that's for certain it works nicely with a 220uf capacitor. I swapped the 220uf for a 33uf in my already working circuit and just like that, the picture started rolling pretty badly on both of my CRT tvs (the ones I actually use for gaming) but worked ok on all 3 of the LCDs in the house. It seems to me that an AV mod which only works some of the time, isn't a particularly successful one.

 

I don't think that 80s freak has much to do with this in all honesty. For a start the FW guide isn't written by him, it just links to 80s freak's Jail bar solution and even the schematic has been "redrawn" by someone else.
