PC Engine Duo Pin 29 mod video tutorial

[duo_r]

ok....here is my first tutorial video. This is the Pin 29 lift and ground. Something I didn't clearly disclose:

this is an additional requirement for region mods in PC Engine Duos to work. If you simply install a region it won't play US Hucards. Here is how to apply this tutorial depending on your Duo:

* PC Engine Duo - follow the full tutorial (part 1 and 2)
* PC Engine Duo-R / RX - only do part 2 (and DON'T lift pin 29, just ground it)
* US Duo - You don't need to do anything with pin 29* :wink:

After you do this, you are ready to install the region switch!

Let me know what you think!

Good quick videos!...Have you ever tried a little bit of flux to undo pins?..That works great, and much for faster for me...

[duo_r]

I havnt tried that, I usually use flux when I have trouble soldering but not desoldering. How do you use it?

A tiny bit of flux to the pin/leg, apply heat , and carefully pry up....

Just watched part 2, a little scary to see how that floating pin was moving around while you were trying to solder the other wire end @_@ ....But that's just me, I rather be safe than sorry :D....

[duo_r]

Good point should have soldered the ground pad first. The pin is pretty strong but better safe than sorry.

Dude long time! Nice to see you are still active. I have not been on the forum lately. Nice tutorial though!

[duo_r]

Hey OS long time no talk! Thanks. I could do a region mod but it will be a longer video. Maybe i will do that one in high def.

[Oldskool]

You should do the region mod videos, if I recall, are a bit lacking in quality, and are a bit old now. I like the way you explain things too, you are easy to understand.

Thanks again. Do you have a link to those videos so I can see what was done already? Also i got a little website started again:

Nothing special but some documentation on there for some Turbo mods.
