I also forgot to post these. Just some pictures of the Twin Famicom I did for Teddy. I figured these would be beneficial for some since there are not a ton of pics of the twin Famicom installs out there.
And also what mod is not complete without...
It arrived, and forgive me for the shit camera phone pics skips as my wife is out and about with the dslr.
I'm pleased in all regards with this build skips. Attention to detail inside was meticulous and I appreciate the care you put into this mod.
The PC-10 color palette blew me out of the water. I don't want to go back to the old palette, but it's nice to know I have the option to do so. For reference, I have this hooked up to my Mini XRGB and one of my office monitors (LG LCD). Also, forgive the weird diagonal interference on the SMB3 blue screen... that's the shit phone, no jailbars in sight.
Thanks again Skippy!
Would love to get this done on my NES toaster...Unfortunately, I'm all thumbs when it comes to modding and soldering in general. Skips, would you do this mod work for other fellow forum members like me? ( it's up to you if you deem me an established member I guess)

Sadly I am taking a break from modding until end of August/September. I need a break from it.

Wow, that's gorgeous.
It's alright, I don't have the funds to afford it now anyways. If and when you do resume providing this service again, I get first dibs!

your right I figured it out, I guess it was because I upgraded my OS to v11, I downgraded back to v9 and now my FDS roms are playing perfectly fine. It is great that I can finally hear the missing sounds in games like Doki Doki Panic now that I have the expansion sound mod.

Yeah, I think I failed you on the help department on that. Sorry. Was dead tired when I was posting.
I think I may go back to 9 too. 11 made some of the games sound weird for me.
And Yeddy, nice Twin Fami!

oh hey dude, no problem man. I totally spaced the fact that I upgraded my firmware while my NES was out being modded, so that is what lead me to think it was something caused by the modding.

V9 firmware on the Everdrive sounds better with expanded audio? I just got an Everdrive and the expanded audio is pretty brutal compared to the originals on fds games. I've got a fds so it's no big deal, but it would be nice if it were better.

I might just need a better sound source, because doki doki panic sounded weird on 11 than on 9.
Anyway. I really need to invest in a NESRGB, but I've also been following the Universal PPU, too.

your EverdriveN8 should play .fds roms, though I had issues with the latest two OS updates, I had to downgrade back to v9. were you getting the err27?

Nice, professional looking job. I go to a meetup of some friends every month and this new guy brought in an RGB modded slim Famicom and a Framemister and I knew I wanted to get one for myself. I'm pretty certain I fucked up my AV Jacks on the sides of my NES because I never used them until a few years ago and trying to get them out was a bitch so I know I pulled on it too hard. So I know I've gotta find out how to fix it. I've never soldered anything before so I guess this'll be something to learn with.
Also, one other NES question. I've read on a few sites that when people are modding their NES's that they'll go in and clip the security chip that might make some games give you the rolling screen. Then I've heard people saying not to do it and all you need to do is make sure your carts and system are clean and you should have any problems. What do you folks think?

Clip it. No matter how clean I kept my carts and connectors, I'd still get the blinks. I'd rather stare at a gray screen than a blinking screen.
