Put new caps in (except the 2200uF low profile one). Cleaned up, test... and still working... phew :). Maybe continue tonight with the RGB bypass. #snk #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

Keep forgetting how fragile the AES boards are. Bodged a few pads. My way of removing the caps is also to blame. I heat up one side, bend, heat up other s8de, bend, until it comes out. Works well if the pads don't come off... #snk #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

RGB bypass done. Feels like a little sharper and brighter. Currently still using composite as sync, no changes there yet. That's up next. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

Pure CSYNC mod enabled. Can't really see the difference with using composite as sync, but I am sure someone with better eye can. #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

The stereo mod. Will run cable over top (again), not enough clearance bottom side for the 24AWG 2-core cable I am using. And all the sharp points sticking out could prick through the cable and make contact with the GND shielding of the cable. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

These are the points you can use to tap audio from. Left, Right and Ground. The side I am using this time is line level audio, if you connect to the points on the other side you can control the volume of the audio with the volume slider just like a headphone. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

There is very little space between the front side of the PCB and the bottom shell. So I will be removing a little bit (see marking) with a dremel, just enough for the wires to pass without getting squeezed between the PCB and the bottom case. #neogeo #retromodding

Dremel was not in my room, too lazy to go to the garage, so I used the smaller Mechanic (from #aliexpress) dremel, which worked much better actually for such a small area. Enough clearance for the wires now, so we can continue. #neogeo #retromodding

@noromamai Ooh, I have not seen one of those before. I love my 25-year old Dremel, but that looks convenient to keep in a tool bag.
