V9990 POWERGRAPH LIGHT !!!!!

Hello Tecnobyters !!

You asked again.

Here goes a new Powergraph Light batch!

This new release brings to you the same quality as before, but in a small size cartridge.  So we started to design the new printed circuit board. So, we decided to remove the S-VIDEO and composite output, but you can use an adapter where you can have these video outputs include on package. The Powergraph Light has its RGB output pinout full compatible with the VGA (HD15) output pinout, even with +5V in pin 9.

Here goes a video Life on Earth, the newest game from Kai Magazine.

Here is a link to a post in our blog talking about demos and games which use Powergraph.
