Mr Robot Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've completed all the soldering and stuff but I'm still not finished so I will carry on with my build progress here. I've uncased my XEL so I can make some changes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Very nice! I see you have a VBXE in there - I've been considering one for my XLD, but ... I don't know how much NTSC-compatible software there is for it, and I have no PAL-compatible displays. I do have a GBS8220 VGA converter board that can accept an RGB signal but I haven't looked into the details with much specificity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 There is ~0 NTSC software for the VBXE. That doesn't mean none, There's Last Word for example, but there is almost none for PAL so it's _really_ slim pickings for NTSC. The quality of the display is amazing though, and I'd have got it just for the VBXE version of Rick Dangerous when it comes out. I run mine out to a GBS8220 and into a Dell monitor, looks lovely. Now I want to hide the 8220 inside the case. I also need room for a Drakaris (or whatever its name is this week) and other fun stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Yeah, realistically a Sophia DVI makes more sense than a VBXE. But that real 80-column mode is pretty cool. Anyway, your XEL looks great. The wiring is excellent and the internal MIDI board looks fantastic. Well-done, sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Wow I dont even recognize most of what is on that. I just want to get my basic XEL to boot! Looks fantastic though. I have built all that I can for now.. waiting to get a pic programmer and then we will see about booting this thing up!! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's just a VBXE, MIDI-XEL and a XEL-CFIII. My U1MB is a v1 so it's a black PCB not a Lotharek white one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
