    Hello. I'm actually considering obtaining one of these kits. Unfortunately, I have almost zero technical capability. Can anyone recommend someone that might be interested in installing it for me? Of course, I will compensate them for their time and effort. Thank you.

    Love this amp and have used it many times over on every turbo pce hardware. Some like duo do have jailbar issues and use of 22uf caps fixes the issues. Junk china psu will cause issues on any mod.

    Screen shift. This is a issue with sony brand across the board from composite to rgb and component mod. It is what it is and without a sync shifter or xrgb your sol if your pvm wont allow it to move.

    Hey guys, just signed up based on this thread. This mod looks great! I've been wanting to do an RGB mod on my TG16 for a while now, but I really don't want to do an internal mod. I was thinking about doing a project box that connects to the back of my TG16 via the rear pinout port and then has the 9-pin connector. I have a 9-pin to SCART cable for my Genesis, and it works fantastic.

    Do you guys think this is possible, or is there anything that i definitely need to hack into inside the console that I can't get to from the back port?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    There are some devices like what you described being made right now. Not sure if they are out yet but if not, it should be soon. All of the needed RGBS signals are available on the expansion port along with analog Left/Right audio for stereo. Make sure to use C-Sync as the sync source since sync on composite video can create artifacts like checkerboard patterns and whatnot. C-Sync is the purest analog sync signal on there and won't give you these problems.

    db Grafx Booster, but they are about 1 month out until stock shows up.
