My delayed ICs just finished passing through customs and should be here soooooon Excellent as I need one of these or possibly two of them for testing. Also did you ever find a mini din for use with the Genesis 2 AV cables that can be panel mounted and not PCB mounted only for this? Not sure where he is sourcing them from, But it seems that Tim Worthington has panel mount versions of these mini dins that he provides in the 2600 RGB kits I've been told? Then again, when I think panel mount, I think of one that is really designed for mounting through a plastic frame and not just Epoxied into place like some s-video jacks I've seen.

I have not found the idea panel mounted mini-DIN yet. I'm testing out a 3D printed low key bezel that holds the normal mini-DIN, and has a PCB for wires and attachment. I'm not finished on that yet, because the mini-DINs I ordered might have slightly different dimensions to the ones I have on hand. Pricing is a bit less than I expected: $34 each, plus $5 flat rate shipping for any quantity. So two would be $68 plus $5 shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPix Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 In light of competition, I have lowered the price of my TMS-RGB boards to $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Game_Lover96 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If I am going to plan on the TI 99 RGB, I could replace the 9918 chip that the TI was originally used with 9928 to RGB mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retango Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi! Great project.. please count me in with 1 board, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Game_Lover96 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I think you should count me for two boards, one for my ColecoVision and one for the TI-99 4/A and I have to use the 9928 to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross_VF1 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Visited RetroRGB today and found some very helpful info about this project. As it currently stands I probably need at least three, possibly five of these boards. I currently own a MSX Canon V-20, MSX Spectravideo SVI-728, TI-99/4A and a Colecovision (all PAL). Also looking to add an SG-1000 to my collection. At first I thought I could just build these on my own but if the price for a complete board is just $25 (please confirm) plus shipping, I don't think I can justify trying to do it myself.

mathewbeall Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I keep checking back weekly to see if @Falonn has his ready to order yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falonn Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 For what it's worth, I don't ever expect to sell any myself. The list to keep an eye on is the "People offering pre-assembled TMS-RGB kits" on this page. (And for anyone interested in making/selling them, just let me know and I'm happy to add you to that list.) ... or just send your system to Ruggers Customs and he'll install one for you. (There's a list for that too, but he's the only one on it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't see, my boards have been available for purchase for a few hours. Most are shipping same day or next day. Just depends on when the order goes in and when the Post Office run is. I am doing both US and International sales. Boards are all manufactured at the highest quality and all parts are sourced from legitimate electronics distributors. There are no AliExpress parts anywhere on the board and no cheap prototype JLCPCB, DirtyPCB, or other inexpensive fab houses in use. This matters as many of the places that specialize in prototypes have a thin solder mask that is easily rubbed off. Not the case here. All boards are ENIG finished in a 0.8mm thickness to ease soldering and prevent oxidation/corrosion. I also went with an extremely tight tolerance on R8. Specifically a 0.1% Panasonic Thin Film resistor. These are already tested, bagged, and ready for you.

+chicgamer Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I ordered one of these to replace an old RGB mod that quit working. Looks like my board will be arriving Saturday. Maybe I'll be back playing Colecovision again by the end of the weekend. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
