I purchased a region and RGB modded PC Engine Duo-R from doujindance back in September (eBay link). In my initial testing everything seemed to work. A few weeks later, I brought the system to a friends house and had some issues with CD games. Here's what we observed:
* Rondo of Blood - Occasional music dropouts
* Gate of Thunder - Occasional music dropouts
* Mugen Senshi Valis - Either wouldn't load or would get stuck on the RIOT logo screen
Following doujindance's walkthrough (youtube link), I was able to open the system up and adjust the VR102 pot to get Valis to load consistently, although it suffered music dropouts as well. I've had no success with adjusting VR105 to fix the music dropouts and may have made things even worse. I even tried following the info here to set the frequency of VR105 to 4.3 - 4.4 MHz which didn't help either.
I have a recapped US Duo that does not exhibit these problems when using the same discs.
I'm not a modder and will openly admit I have no fucking clue as to what I'm doing. Any one if any guidance on how maybe I can fix the problem? I'm also more than happy to pay someone smarter than me to fix it. I could also go the route of just getting my US Duo region and RGB modded and give up on the PC Engine if I really had too...
Thanks in advance for any replies! Really appreciate any support I can get.
