Regarding your 3D printer and the recent video you made about it, all I can say is that I hope you're pleased with yourself! I had no real interest in 3D printing until then but after watching it and reading up on them I was inspired to buy one for myself! It should be dispatched next week and hopefully I'll receive it soon afterwards. Thank you very much :-)

15:30 Neil, try finding a ferrite ring to put on the amp's RGB output or the audio running to the port you installed. the amplified video signal maybe whats at play and is just aggravated by the cheap cable.

@cheaterman49
@cheaterman49 4 года назад
@@mrfrog8502 That's still smart though, I was thinking something along those lines, decoupling caps and whatnot. But my solution doesn't work either because it'll destroy the signal. I hope a better cable will indeed solve the issue! Otherwise there might still be something to do inside the machine, perhaps the mod is affecting the stability of the supply or something (but I doubt it, they didn't seem to cheap out on caps). Or just put an audio jack as Neil said.

I had a really bad RGB SCART cable for a PAL snes, and I tried several things. One thing that worked miracles was to just get some wire and solder it between the ground connections on both sides of the cable. I did check the cable and the ground wire was really thin and well below spec. Didn't fix everything (though I think the rest of the problems are caused by the console), but it made a huge difference. Still, without knowing the underlying issue with the cable it's hard to say. The cable I modded this way had far bigger problems than some audio buzz. (really bad video interference, for one.)

I had the exact problem with an RGB Scart cable I bought for my Amiga 500. IT turned out that the cable was overall shielded, but the wires for R G B L R and Sync were not shielded from each other. In my work as a TV engineer I used to come across unshielded scart cables all the time. A simple zero cost fix would be to pull apart one of those VGA cables that you probably have laying about if you didn't just throw it away when you unpacked your monitor. Cut the blue plugs off the end and use it to make up a new cable, there should be enough cables. (R)(G)(B)(Hsync)(Vsync) should be all shielded, I'd use the Hsync and Vsync for audio then run the Csync down one of the DDC wires. You could also change your RGB mod to include the composite video feed instead of the Csync, it will work just as well but means you can use a different cable to give the old skool Comp video + audio.

It isn't an issue if the wires internally are separated somewhat. I would suspect some noise is normal from the system anyhow, and his cable is exaggerating it. You can always take some steel netting and separate the internal cables a little with it and ground it. Dont even need to do them all, just the one or both audio cables. And no soldering needed.

That buzzing on the sound seems to be a common thing on those Philips monitors, had the same problem on my old one, also my Commodore 1084S monitor does the same and it's got exactly the same moulded back on as that Philips CM8833, so they must have shared the same manufacture.

To reduce the buzz you might want to reduce the length of the rat's nest of wires in the case. The longer they run, the more interference they can pick up.
@projectartichoke
@projectartichoke 4 года назад
I'd try using shielded audio wire, tiny coax, inside the unit to your DIN jack, before replacing the entire cable. Or, you could just disconnect the audio wires from the DIN jack inside the unit to see if the buzz goes away, that would confirm the interference is coming from inside the unit.

Hopefully someone might do a run of those plastic side plates - the only improvement would be to match the original colour. Glad to see another person discover this fantastic system, it really is one of the greatest consoles ever made. My all time favourite for sure.

For anyone getting RFI (interference) when using C51 for 5V & R102 for GND, use the pin next to CSYNC for 5V, & the next pin to that for GND on the IFU expansion port. This fixed the RFI & gave me a crystal clear image. Also using Otaku's RGB amp by the way (very good).

Old CD drives were hit and miss with CD-R discs because of how much darker the disks are (and thus the signal comes back too low from the laser) - so nice fix! As for your audio buzz, also consider where inside the case you are running the wires, since they are not shielded inside the dock either. It would have been nice to see you create a JST plug for the audio instead of tagging onto the posts. That would have been an even cleaner mod. Lots of good kits on Amazon for that sort of thing.

Should have put the rgb amp in the pc engine itself. The ifu dock creates video interference, especially when running cd games. Using the regular composite signal for sync actually helps to alleviate some of the interference if mounted in the ifu dock compared to using True c-sync. If the rgb amp was in the system itself then true c-sync can be used instead with no interference. A better scart cable will also help with the audio buzz.

I like to do a suggestion about the writing speed. I have been burning CD from the time that they are so expensive that it hurt in you stomach if one would fail :P. I have written a lot of CD and DVD but one thing I wil never forget how writing speed will effect the quality of the copy. After years I made a rule: take lowest of the maximum write speed of the burner or the optical media and divide that in half. So wen de burner is 52x and the media is 40x, I take the cd divide it in half so I burn it at 20x. If the burner is 40x and the media is 52x I take the burner speed and burn it at 20x speed. My take on this idea is, both burner and media are having a sweet spot or a optimal working condition. It is not very logical if this is happening at the highest or the lowest speed. But beside that in my experience the middel of the road speed have always been the less problematic copy's. I hope it helps you out. Tried to DM you this trough Discord, but I was blocked :P

I have made a few of pce rgb amp circuits from scratch on prototyping boards and only a few have not had that background sound 'buzz' like you show. Tbh, sometimes it seems also much worse dependent on which TV you use as some TV's seem to have quieter sound level output and increasing volume also increases buzz. Think its just maybe a PCEngine thing lol.

Only downside was I didn't get any RX controller with it (they go for about £70+ each). Not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. Getting the controllers is a lot of money imo and they might not even work. Replacement parts isn't something I have found yet like the rubber pads that go under the dpad and buttons.

Lots of comments here advising on CD burning software or fixing the audio hum! I can only imagine they rush to write it down before you fix it (by adjusting the CD drive pots, which is becoming a necessity in even PS2s and GameCubes as their laser diodes age), or before you said what things you were going to try to fix the audio. One person is suggesting a power conditioner to fix ground issues even though you said you've eliminated grounding problems in the video! Dearie me. Hope you enjoy your EverDrive, and all your legitimately copied game ROM backups ;) I've seen a modern aftermarket product that replaces the interface unit, has RGB outputs built in, and an SD card slot to load up CDs onto. Keeps the width of the tiny PC Engine base unit. I'm not 100% if you can load up HueCard ROMs from that unit though. Obviously your modification largely accomplishes the same things, though of course the SD card solution has no seek times for the CD images (and is physically smaller than a CD folder!). Was really good to see the use of the 3D printer to just replace the video connection module. I had no idea it would just slide out! Marvellous.

About the burned CDs, don't have first hand knowledge about PCE, but let's take Jaguar CDs as an example. I haven't got burned images work, until they're burned with Padus Discjuggler... Had to install XP, just to get them working ;) So it may be other things, than the media...

try speaking to Lord Voultar on youtube or twitter about using his RGB board, it's a much much cleaner and tidier install that cuts out a lot of noise.

I’ve not seen an original CM8833 since school, back when my IT teacher failed me in computer studies for losing my course work. The winker. BTW your audio buzz is down to your cable Neilster. 👍

Gréât epiode. I restored 2 Interface Units recently. A last one still gets trouble with CDRom2. This one has a laser block with troubles getting to center position and bouncing the black switch near the spindle motor…. Sometimes it works others keeping this forcing noise and impossible to switch on the spindle… 😔
