i smell NO SHELLGATE or delays this year
And less worries for you , waiting between injection moulding machine until late hours.

On an ASIDE.... for all the non-weirdoe people who are looking to play the device... and are not so "tech orientated"...
I can supply you a "Link"...
You may PM me or come into chat... for the "Link"...

PS. This is until I can think of a way to do this without getting my ass in trouble... because I forsee that we may have certain posts coming up that would involve the mod team to frown upon...
That system should work fine, but you're paying a lot for a RGB mod that you won't need.
That cable in the second link should work fine, although I don't know anything about the quality.
I hope to have a discount from that seller because i already buy some consoles and games and the last one (dreamcast) had problems, so I will ask a discount. This console seems in good conditions. He has the white version too: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Console-Nec-...605471?hash=item5d77d8099f:g:3uoAAOSw9hdaDHPn that is a little cheaper and in good conditions too.
Do you think that i can buy? I asked him if the capacitors are new, he wrote that the console is cleaned and completely fixed and reconditioned...
Awesome =DOk guys,
First production update comes today
Mould has finished the polishment stage and we got samples of the final pieces, those SAMPLES are in solid black but FINAL PIECES WILL BE TRANSPARENT SMOKE BLACK
Those pictures are good to see how the shells will look like :
I hope you all like those
The RGB mod is entirely pointless, if you're going to be using Terraonion's new product. Why waste the extra money? Don't get me wrong: IF buying that particular system makes you happy then get it, but I'd just as soon buy a beater PCE and recondition it myself, (which is exactly what I'm doing) than spend extra money on an unnecessary mod. Just my two cents, man.
I ordered 2 Core Grafx Systems from this seller.

Messaged him in regards to combined shipping and hooked me up with e-express for a few extra bucks, go's by Frankie lol. Seems to be a nice guy. I wasn't looking for anything Minty, just in good shape, that works. Seems like the kind of guy that might give a discount if you buy multiple units.
All pasive.
We have to open our mega drive 2 cables by monday cause we have been told those have resistors inside and may cause some issues, we haven´t seen any issues using those MD2 cables on different tvs btw
A Mega Drive 2 cable absolutely is supposed to have components in them!! 470Ohm on the sync line, coupling capacitors & 75Ohm resistors on the RGB lines. If it doesn't it's improperly constructed and in fact not compatible with an actual Mega Drive 2 or standard SCART device. For instance, like you mentioned before, both the Mega Drive and your device outputs TTL level csync. A OSSC / normal European SCART TV does not accept TTL level csync so there needs to be a resistor in the cable.
'Works on my TV' is not a good metric. There's absolutely no question about what a Mega Drive 2 outputs, what components should be in the cable and what voltage levels are correct on the SCART connector. Anything else and you risk results from image quality problems to equipment failure.
See here for properly constructed Mega Drive 2 cables containing the right capacitors and resistors:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-seller-...RT-cable-with-Csync-no-jailbars-/201309414919
If you open your cables and there are no resistors and capacitors in them, you have defective cables. If your device only works with cables that lack these components, you are not compatible with Mega Drive 2 cables and need to change the device or cable specification.
Calm down Boris... Relax... it'll be fine..
How do you know I'm Boris and that things will be fine!?!
But yes, I would very much assume that people than can build a PCE ODE can figure out what to output from their A/V socket. That said, there's frequently a very 'ah well, seems to work' attitude in the retro gaming maker community about these things. And then we get Superguns blowing up our SCART switches and HDMI GameCubes shorting themselves out. So I get a bit nervous when people say their recommended MD2 cable shouldn't have any resistors in it ;-)
Thanks! Unfortunately i'm not able to recondition it myself :/ I need a PC Engine already fixed from the seller. OK i will continue to search a cheaper console (but in good condition). I found some console (ONLY console) at 60$ but I have to add joypad and a power supply adaptor, (i'm in europe) and multiple shipping cost...more or less i will spend in any case about 110/120$ in total...the best way is to buy console+joypad+power supply, in this way i can save money I think...

Call down, if we have to include a pasive cable with each Super SD System 3, we will. We already considered that but took the decision to not do it cause it was another factory to deal with so more work for us.
No one is going to be upset for such thing, we already sent free neosd shells back in the day to everyone as we promissed.
Our goal is to sell but we preffer to have everyone happy and less money on the back at all.
Anyone else?... I mean... Neosd doesn't mind tech questions...
However... there were lots of warnings in this thread that I was here... I even told you that if you're gonna reply to me, do it carefully...
Depending on how I'm feeling... you could end up perma fubared...

How do you And then we get Superguns blowing up our SCART switches
Maybe don't buy an overpriced cut rate switcher?
