Hi all,
New here, but wanted to start off by saying I've spent many hours researching this topic before making this thread. That being said:
I purchased a Neo Geo 3-6 last time I was in Japan. I finally had some time to mess with it this week and noticed this horribly ugly checkerboard pattern on the screen when hooked up via component (RGB inputs). It was present on both my consumer grade Sony Trinitron CRT as well as my PVM. No such "filter" when using composite video, however. I then read through this thread that explained my issue precisely.
That led me to MMMonkey's write up on the RGB bypass, which led me to RetroRGB's post. Now, I do not really have much soldering skills and don't want to damage my expensive board, so looking online I found Ifixretro, who was actually recommended to me by a friend who used him to fix up his MVS board. However, this guy lives on the complete other side of the U.S from me, and seems he's quite busy.
So long story short: Would you guys recommend I get this board fixed, and any recommendations for someone on the west coast? Or is it preferable to simply buy a new AES system that is an earlier revision? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
