Ren64 #2 Lives!

As usual, it’s been a while since I’ve posted an update but I’ve been busy, I promise! Since the last update I’ve built out the second Ren64 board as well as 16 SSRez’s. I’ve tested the Ren64 and everything looks good (some pics below) but haven’t had a chance to test the SSR’s yet. I’ve also validated that the USB-RS232 and RS232-RS485 adapters I bought a while ago actually do work and will drive the Ren64’s. I’ve also allocated an old laptop as my show computer and installed a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate on it (hey, it was free!) So far so good. I think I’m in pretty good shape now aside from being horribly behind on my sequencing in Vixen. That’s the next large chunk of work I’ve got in front of me.

Current status (216 channel capacity built):
2 x Ren64’s built, 2 tested
20 x SSRez’s built, 4 tested
3 x Ren24SS’s built, 3 tested
1 x Ren16XMUS build, 1 tested

Stay tuned!
