    So I have a SuperCIC chip on order from japan (cant programme chips myself) which I should be able to install without much trouble. The problem I have is finding a definitive guide to doing the 50/60hz mod. One that is up to date. Theres various guides for this and I have no idea which to follow, or which one is the most recent one.
    Could someone help me out with this?

    I might do that anyway tbh. There so much info and so many different tutorials floating around, something streamlined like what you sell would probably be very handy for me.

    Really best if you get the all in one package. Those 21.477 Mhz crystals can be hard to find ;p

    Yes better buy a complete kit on a nice custom pcb or else you might end up with something that looks like my first 1chip mod :x

    I went ahead and bought one. Very grateful for it as I don't think i'd have made heads nor tails of it otherwise

    Thanks to Bad_Ad84 for an excellent kit, which made this mod extremely easy to install. Here are some pics of my install. Tried to keep it as tidy as possible.

    You may notice the white wire is soldered to the wrong pin on the CPU. I fixed this. (these pics were taken while I was troubleshooting why it didnt work :p)
