-^CroSBow^-'s Hardware Videos - Sega Master System Voltage Regulator Mo

[RSS Bot]

I've been working with DC to DC buck converters lately on a few of my classic consoles. Here is a detailed video of the process wherein I change out the 7805 voltage regulator on my SMS with a Traco Power DC/DC +5 converter. I show some numbers using my Kill-a-Watt before and after to give an idea on the differences. With the SMS the differences weren't nearly as much as they were with my 7800 that I did this mod to as well. But I didn't video that one and kinda wished I had now. I also explain at the end where I did try this with my Sega Genesis but exhibited some audio interference from the use of the converters and ultimately removed them and put the 7805's back in for that system.

Still might get others interested to discuss and try on their own. I would be interested to know your results if you should try this modification on your classic consoles.
