I didn't get either with the drive(used auction drive), but I ordered them from game doctor hk. It was about 8 bucks.

Thanks for the info. This now makes more sense to me.
Also, I'm not using two power adapters. I have a cable that strings the power from the SCD to the SGX.

Console Repair/Mod Center / Modded SuperGrafx + Super cd-rom2 audio question
06/30/2011, 08:10 AM
Hey Guys,
First time poster, so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. I've searched on this topic a few times and gotten related hits, but nothing specifically like mine.
I've got a modded Supergrafx (modded with a region switch and a scart rgb out) from a ebay seller doujindance.
I bought an additional Super cd-rom2 to mount onto it. The super cd-rom2 unit has bad caps. I haven't opened it, but I knew this because the original seller said audio out didn't work, and that symptom matches a number of these units having bad caps (similar to duos).
I expected to have to get this repaired upon receiving the cd-rom2. Before sending it out for repair, I hooked up the drive and tested it to make sure everything else was okay. I played several games (Dracula X, Y's 1 and 2, Y's IV and Valis 2). As long as I hook the audio to the Supergrafx out, and don't plug anything into the Super cd-rom2 out, I get cd sound through the Supergrafx.
This brings up 2 questions:
1) Has anyone else seen similar behavior? My earlier searches were here before buying the Super cd-rom2 (as a forum lurker). Based on what I read then, this shouldn't be working this way. I should only be getting sound effects and digitized sound. I do remember seeing a guide previously that stated that the cd audio was handed back to the console over a few pins, but the console didn't use it. So I guess it is possible the original modder (doujindance) hooked that to the av-out while doing the RGB mod.
2) Is there any reason to get the bad caps in the super cd-rom2 fixed, other than selling it?
If this is a result of a mod, it seems like it would be smarter to do something similar, rather than hacking up a ~$200 Super cd-rom2 if you had the same problem (not that replacing caps is hard for a experienced solderer). I know I have a Supergrafx, which isn't cheap, but if you didn't want that compatibility, cores and pc engine small units are really inexpensive, and not a lot lost if you mess up the mod bigtime.
