Super SD System 3

[Bernie]

I will grab this once I am sure they have worked all the kinks out. Been excited about it since I heard about its release.

What's the status since the bit of a breakdown NeoSD/Alex is having ? Got sick of "RGB Nerds" and NeoGeo forums apparently to where he considered quitting at some point...?

Yes it is not correct and has the potential to be harmful.

Hey Alex! I would be willing to swap the caps around for people in the US if it would be ok with you and your team.

I am tired, i can´t live with this anymore.

I am considering those options right now :

Not selling any more Super SD System 3 and ship all pending orders.

Put my time in other thing and move along.

I can´t live with all this shit alone. Sorry, i got burnt by you guys and this RGB party. Well done

Our own forum is coming, but i have decided to not write on forums anymore. I need to get my life back cause terrible things happened to myself this week.
I plan to find a way to keep working in what i like and love, while protecting my health and my family. No more forums for me, i don´t have energy or time for such things.

I always wanted everyone to be happy with our products as my main goal, this goes before making money or anything else.

I decided that what i wanted to do with my life was to create devices that i want for myself and no one produces. I been doing my best with the few resources we had, among the last 18 month. Some things i did better, others i did worst but i always tried to improve what it wasn´t perfect.
I have put much more than I should, I totally abandoned my life , wife and kids for this dream. This decision has already afected the ones i love, i never thought about them before putting myself on this situation and this says a lot (BAD) about me.

If there is anything on my hand to please our customers i will sure put my energy and resources on that, but i am not going to destroy my life or damage my famility doing that anymore, this has proven to be a mistake.

This whole thing (me answering everyone at any time) has proven to damage my health and my family so i have to quit forums and discussing with people.

I will keep doing my work, imagining products, finding people that helps becoming those a reality and producing.

Alex,

So the team did start their own forums, I skipped forward/caught up to that part, but yeah... Too much for me to catch up in their NeoGeo thread (lost track/stopped caring much ~halfway months back)... :/

Afaik they are working on a new FW to resolve the audio issue and probably some other.

I bought one beginning of the month, 2 weeks later I hooked it up to my white (more yellow) PC Engine, audio routed through my Amp, video to the PVM.
I have to say, it looks quite good - I don't see really a difference with my modded IFU output.

As regards of the audio 'hiss', to be honest, I haven't heard it with any of the CD-based games I tried; even turned up the volume.

So, I can say I am quite happy

I ordered mine last week.  Should be arriving on Monday or Tuesday.  I don't know why people are getting so worked up about a buzz during card access or some video noise.  I'm really pumped to get it.

Firmware 1.2 was just released and includes a HuCard dumper among various bug fixes.

It's not even a problem anymore. A really easy fix was posted online for that. All you need to do is solder a capacitor to the underside of your board and it resolves everything. I already performed the mod and now there is no noise at all anymore.

New boards are supposed to fixed with both the correct capacitor orientation and the cap mod.     You should definately make sure you board has both fixes applied, the backward cap is an issue.     I left mine alone and it was fine but the video noise got much worse and the backward tant cap won't immediately fail.    Also even with the firmware updated audio noise is still quite noticeable, so you want to have at least the decoupling cap installed.

Received mine today, ordered from Stone Age Gamer in the US over the weekend. It came w/ the hardware fixes already applied and latest firmware already installed. I don't see any visual or hear any audio problems at all.

Can anyone recommend where to buy top quality scart cable in the UK for the Super SD System 3.
