Blazing Lazers Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi all! I just bought the multicart for the Arcadia 2001 and was wondering if there are any ways to improve the RF output on the Arcadia to something more convenient and better looking. Thanks again for any advice on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 From a PM from akaviolence... I pulled comp video at the junction of R40, R42, and R22. Also, removed R43, R41, and R51. The last one powers the RF modulator, the first two helped with brightness etc. I also used a 220uF cap in line with the comp video Personally, I haven't removed the resistors yet, and haven't added the capacitor. The reason that I have a Leisurevision, and there's no silk screen. As a result, at the moment, I have a dark picture. I also haven't hooked up audio yet.

So it is possible, but you're the first to attempt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well, second at best, although I'm guessing others have done it, too, besides akaviolence. Soon I'll revisit it and get it completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game-Tech.US Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 OH, there's no silk screen on the LV huh? Weird! Cutting the resistors will brighten the pic for sure, the cap is usually necessary also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game-Tech.US Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I finally took the time to finish this mod and get it documented on youtube, .The details: I pulled comp video at the junction of R40, R42, and R22. Also, removed R43, R41, and R51. The last one powers the RF modulator, the first two helped with brightness etc. I also used a 220uF cap in line with the comp video.
