Since the PU-8 motherboard has the unpopulated solder points for the few capacitors other components, and the DIN connector used by the S-video circuit of the earlier PU-7 board, do you know if anyone has tried retrofitting direct S-video to a PU-8? btw those unpopulated cap spots at 4:47 are for the S-video direct out circuit on the PU-7.
@TrimeshSZ19 сағат бұрын
Yes, but there is quite a bit more to add than just installing the caps. There is also a filter (that's the 6 pin footprint above the not installed caps) possibly a 0.1uF ceramic used for coupling the chroma signal and some amplifier circuits built using discrete components just below the CXA1645 video encoder at the bottom of the board - these are the unpopulated pads on the left side and use the same parts as the populated buffer amplifier for the composite video that's the right of empty pads. I tried it, but honestly I couldn't see any quality difference between the Y/C output on the S-Video socket and the one that was already present on the Multi-AV connector.

The Sega Chihiro is notorious for the GPU to fail. It may be worthwhile getting a faulty board (1.4 revision or earlier) from online somewhere and doing a GPU swap.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind when I revisit this unit.
@realgroovy246 күн бұрын
@RetroRenegadeRepairs if it is the case of faulty GPU. I would certainly consider upgrading the cooling system in the Chihiro. Even if just an extra fan which blows across the heatsink (ideally with the larger Xbox heatsink added) or the upgraded larger Noctua aftermarket fan.

This is not going to work. The chihiro use a different bridge chip similar to those used in genuine devkits, they use a first stage bootloader that is internal to the mcpx bridge chip, on normal Xboxes this first stage is external to the mcpx chip, which is why on normal Xboxes grounding dat0 point is enough to trigger modchip booting over lpc Edit: 2nd stage bootloader I meant to say - and by bridge chip I mean the mcpx2 in chihiro/devkits and it's mcpx3 in standard OG xboxes

Chihiro is quite literally an Xbox. The Sega boards are just for I/O and providing power and video output for the "JVS" arcade standard. 128MB is standard. You're probably better off putting the stack back together and getting a proper power supply, a conversion harness, or hacking ATX yourself. You can figure this out easily online, look up "JVS wiring", it's 12V/3.3V/5V. Chihiro ONLY outputs 31KHz VGA AKA 640x480 video. It won't sync through a standard Xbox video cable. Just reconnect the stack, use VGA to HDMI and try again.
@RetroRenegadeRepairs6 күн бұрын
Thanks for the information. I'll probably build or order one of those cables and revisit this unit soon. I did see a few people booting this type of console using an XBOX dev bios and figured it was worth a try. NGL though, seeing the SEGA Chihiro logo seems like the more exciting and challenging route to take.

@@lookitskazzy Indeed. It might be coded somewhere that the missing device on an usb port is a critical error, so no go. Although, I'm not sure where that logic would be living. Maybe it was bypassed with the modchip? I have no idea about the innards of chihiro at all, however there are all these suicide batteries powering RAM chips with decryption keys and so on, so everything goes in the arcade world.
@lookitskazzy3 күн бұрын
@@Zoomer.88There is nothing on Chihiro that will "suicide" in terms of encryption. Just the usual clock cap nonsense on the Xbox board. You cannot bypass the I/O check with a mod chip. No I/O, no boot. Period. You can turn it into a retail Xbox with a bunch of modification, but what is the point? At that point just use retail board with 128MB and patched games, much easier. I'm not speculating on any of this by the way, I've owned and worked on many of these boards in the past.

@@Zoomer.88no such thing on Chihiro. This isn't speculation, I've owned and worked on these before. You need an I/O to boot. Mod chip won't bypass it. Only way around this is to basically turn it into a retail Xbox with a bunch of changes to the BIOS and several other ICs
