Looks like someone directly tapped into the rgb lines but I thought genesis 2 didnt have rgb output?

but on the pcb with the chip

black says ground
red says power
green says ín
blue says óut

What does the chip itself say? I would guess it's a sync cleaner.

74HC14, 6 schmitt triggered inverters.

They have a super fast rise time. They are either inverting a signal, delaying a signal, or using it to sharpen a rise time to fix a glitch somewhere.

That's exactly what I was going to say...LOL

How you been RJ?

Going absofreakin'lutely insane.

Launching a new product at work again... Arcade business is so busy I don't have time to update inventory on the website... and I've outgrown the workshop so I've taken the garage over.

I'm waiting on a contractor to tell me when he wants to start so I can get the garage built in and fix the attic stairs so I have even more storage room!

Wow, that does sound insane. Just don't get stressed dude, that will trigger bad shit to happen.

 

[channelmaniac]

Been there, done that before, and ended up in the hospital from it. Repairing arcade games is what I do to de-stress.

Well, that and the occasional slaughtering of wild pigs.

Sorry to hear things are so stressful for you Mr Ray. I hate to bug you- but I've sent a few PMs- just trying to see if I can get some info.

Good luck with the contractor stuff/new work.

PMs replied.

I was up until 3:30am Wed night working on a competitive powerpoint deck for a set of Webex sessions I delivered on Thursday. Woke up at 7:15am to finish the deck, incorporate feedback, and deliver a 9am and 8pm session on Thursday.

Sometimes the day job has some crazy freakin' hours.
