I had started on this months ago and just recently had time to finish one up, i have 1 more VA1 console and a VA0 i plan on doing these mods to.
it is currently running Japanesecake's latest bios with DEV boot and running a copy of dreamshell from SD with the boot cd, all games i have used are running great from a 32GB CF card with external power( could not get my IDE2SATA adapters to work.)
I decided against doing a internal VGA or sound jack mod because space is a premium and finding what i would call a good place to put it without a psu mod is a pain, and the cables are cheap as chips as of recent.
I have this one done even put a new battery and reset-able fuse on the controller board. I only plan to open it up once more because i want to ad a reset button.
I did start on the va0 probably the one i will keep and not sell, i know 3v flash isn't supposed to play well with them, though I wired it up to get power from 3v and it seems to work fine flashes and boots with no issues.
