Here we are, I did all the mandatory fixes, everything went well, the problem of the machine not turning on without pressing the reset button is solved and the TSE is stable.

Before plugging in the booster can you tell me where the PAD SW because it is not indicated on the booster.

Thank you in advance.

Can I suggest you provide a close up shot of the top and bottom of the booster board please, it'll help more than the pics of the mainboard as the SW pad is not on that.

I'm not familiar with this specific booster (Mine are older) so without clear pics it's hard to say.

On my booster the SW pad is near the CE pad for the ROMs and behind the GAL.

Also 0v is a ground? (sorry for that stupid question)
Thanks for help

CE is at the top edge of the Booster, near the GAL.

SW should be the other via, below CE.

As @HigashiJun said, /CE is at the top left corner of your picture below the resistor, SW is the next pad down between the resistor and mosfet/transistor.

You need to connect it to GND with a switch to change CPU speed. That can be GND anywhere on the STE, on mine I use the GND plane around the edge of the mainboard and it works just fine.

Thank you it's clear, I soldered a PIN in anticipation and certainly I would put the other end on the edge.

Otherwise... it's finished everything works, it's impressive, hard to go back to a stock ST now.

Just SYSinfo said CPU 8mhz ... Well, I can see that this is not the case, if you have an explanation.

i will go to play with :D

:girldance:

:yay2:

:bravo:

You can now install NVDI and you'll have even more impressive results.
