Considering there was more than one model, you'll need to write down all the values and look them up online. I live in the USA and use Mouser.com. Not sure what people use outside of the US. <br /> <br /> There's not a lot of capacitors inside there if I remember correctly. It's maybe like 10 or so. It's been awhile, but pretty sure there wasn't too many in my model 1 and they mostly had the same values.</span><br /> Simon82 Main Simon82 http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75229#75229 2013-05-24T16:58:57Z 2013-05-24T16:58:57Z Author: <a href="http://www.smspower.org/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1020" target="_blank">Simon82</a><br /> Subject: SMS VDP vs C64 VIC-II: comparable?<br />Posted: Fri May 24, 2013 4:58 pm (GMT 0)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> Do you think that the 8 Mhz VIC2 of the older C64 was comparable and ahead of time versus the VDP?

Probably the SMS was sacrified so they could be competitive on the 16 bit war and all the developers went for it leaving us with good titles but not as the hw could have been used for. <br /> You see many games that seems to be clones of other already out, often using same &quot;engine&quot;. Maybe Sonic was one of the only games that seems to have a more deep development behind and the result was indeed great.</span><br /> Trickle Main Trickle http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75227#75227 2013-05-24T11:24:14Z 2013-05-24T11:24:14Z Author: <a href="http://www.smspower.org/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6999" target="_blank">Trickle</a><br /> Posted: Fri May 24, 2013 11:24 am (GMT 0)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> Is there a specific cap kit you guys would recommend I get?</span><br /> Maxim Main Maxim http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75226#75226 2013-05-23T22:58:36Z 2013-05-23T22:58:36Z Author: <a href="http://www.smspower.org/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5" target="_blank">Maxim</a><br /> Posted: Thu May 23, 2013 10:58 pm (GMT 0)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> Really, by the time the SMS was at its height of game quality, the Mega Drive was already out and companies were starting to treat it as a lesser system, for kids and/or budget titles.
