So I just got this sweet little PC Engine A/V booster that had a RGB mod done to it!! This sweet little thing will work for my SG and my Core Grafx. Anyhow I took some pics for you all. Not sure if you care just thought I would share as it looks great. I couldn't get to the good TV as the wife is on it but it looks great. I am using a Euro scart to component video adapter to get a signal in the US.

What the beast looks like from a far...

Darius Alpha
Didn't bother with a pic of that as it is the same as Darius Plus, but it is just the boss battles.

Very nice! Though it pains me to see things hanging off the back of the SuperGrafx like that... if I'm not mistaken, all the pins for RGB are available on the expansion port, so you probably could have gotten away with something a bit cleaner if you were willing to do the mod yourself.

Also... you have Darius Alpha? Or just a flash card or something?

I use a flash cart for Darius Alpha but the rest are all actual carts. I don't like to alter my decks if I don't have to and I use this same d pin connector on all my decks so I can use only one scart cable. Besides the back of the SG sticks way out any way. It only sticks out about two inches, and this way it can be used for my Core Grafx. I was going to use the 8 pin DIN socket but It would cost more to get a custom scart cable for that than to get the RGB mod done and I am not going to waste $40 just for the cable.
