Original White PCE Pal to NTSC

[emul8this]

Hello all,

This is my first topic and I really need help
I know that RGB rocks but I don't have one. The only thing I have is S-video and Composite video here in Canada.

I recently had my father send me my stuff from HK in the room I lived in. It has been 10 years since I lived in that room and My father decided to rent out that room and send my my stuff. I have a White PC Engine which was modified from NTSC (RF) to PAL-I (RF). From what I see is there is a daughter-board right on the RF modulator and LOTS of CABLES front and back of PCB.

Examining it carefull there seems no added components other than the RF modulator. I would like to revert it back to NTSC if possible, can anyone help? I am using it with my CDROM2 interface and I can only get PAL AV. I would Like NTSC if I can. I also have a Turbo CDROM which I have switch out for the Original white CDROM unit, do you think it will work? <_< Look at the pics uploaded, the one with the shell is an original PCE and the later ones the top and bottom PCB's

I don't know anything about a PAL modification for the PC Engine so hopefully someone can help, but I do know that the TurboGrafx 16 uses different pinouts for the CD-ROM and HuCards, so PC Engine CD-ROM units won't work interchangably without switching them.

Unless someone's got previous experience with these units there's not really any way to suggest a fix without seeing it.  My guess is there's no easy fix, especially if the crystals have been changed, slowing the system down so that it runs at a PAL-friendly 50Hz.

Buy another, they're quite cheape if you need only the core system.
