Technical Info

I will be adding content to this section in the coming weeks and months. Expect AV port and IC pinouts, capacitor and component maps, power requirements, and any other information I find useful when modding or testing consoles. It will differ from other websites by providing verified info and displaying it in a user friendly way, all contained on one page with intuitive navigation. The information in this section will be derived from original console and component docs and hardware testing, never copied directly from other websites.
