returning to Radica modding...

[paulpsomiadis]

I'm going back to finish off my second moded Radica shortly, but noticed some extra infos about this great little GOAC since I last dabbled (it's been a LONG time).

Congrats to @sam_thornley for his VERY nice portable for the Radica!

There are some details I want to know before I crack-on with the mod...

I saw the thread on the Gameblock V2:

http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... a&start=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It was noted that he got the schematic for the Audio AMP from the Radica sticky...

But was this MY thread or another one (that I don't know of) - mine is here:

http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17720" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Note to @sam_thornley - If it's another schematic, can you please post a link to a photobucket upload of the schematic for the AMP (or maybe AMPs - looks like you've got an op-amp and power amp stage as separates)

I also managed to snag the PSOne LCD S-video mod from his post HERE:

http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20158" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(does anyone know the specific PSOne LCD brand that was used?)

And the Luma / Chroma 'tapping' points from his photobucket album HERE:

What EXACTLY does the video-fix do though?
(can someone please elaborate)

BTW - segasonicfan's original schematics have been LOST:

Thanks in advance!

I saw a radica at frys yesterday. Should've bought it. They seem to pop up there every once in a while.

[paulpsomiadis]

I'd say roughly £15-20 GBP if it's the Street Fighter 2 SCE version...

...maybe less for the original versions.

Here ya go!

Not so fast!!!
Here is the sacred link to his site( I had to hunt it down it was hell!!!!)
http://www.freewebs.com/vgmods/index.htm
and here is the specific schematic strait from his site!!!

Your Welcome and you really owe me. It took me 3 hours to find this.Your portable better be epic!( and maybe you could send me a radica )

[paulpsomiadis]

Well, the schematic helps - but only because I got the pictures from @sam_thornley describing where all the stuff is on the board.

I really hate when people go to the trouble of doing a scematic and then don't bother showing you where the heck the components are on the board!

Lucky that we're not noobs and CAN actually research stuff...

Your portable better be epic! (and maybe you could send me a radica)

BTW - I'm not portablizing the Radica, I'm just making a mini console that has all currently available mods...

As for the other bit, no promises JUST yet!

Does anybody know if all Model 3 Genesis are mono? I thought I read in a different thread that some are stereo but didn't list the system board rev numbers. BTW My next portable is going to be a Sega Genesis.
