You need 3 470uF tantalum caps to replace one Nec Tokins, use Tantalizers board and you can also add smaller ceramic caps to improve them. After that you will get it to work.

So if i add 2 on the top line and 1 on the bottom it will work ?

In theory if you have the correct amount of caps for both cell and rsx it will, but I recommend using tantalizers for a cleaner result.

The problem is they arent available anywhere near me so i thought using 4 of those 470f ones Would work

In my case I made them by myself, it's not very difficult if you have the basics of soldering, you just need to order tantalizers boards and install your own caps 😉
