  1. Here's another Sega Mega Drive/Genesis video covering the openheart mod. You install a Raspberry Pi Pico or RP2040 into the console and it expands what it can do.

  6. I can confirm the #badupdate exploit on the #xbox360 works well after a bit of weekend tinkering!

    Playing certain games on actual hardware, such as the leaked GoldenEye 007 prototype or long since delisted Marble Blast Ultra, is a surreal experience I didn't expect to be having this week.

    I'd definitely recommend checking this out if you have an Xbox 360 lying around, along with a large capacity USB drive and a healthy dose of patience.

  11. Closest i probably have to nocash’s glorious PSOne is probably my US sega genesis, motherboard revision VA6. Alt text on pics explains what all is going on here better.
    Although I have a pretty crazy looking PSX as well, maybe I’ll find a picture of that. Even though my PSX looks crazier, the mods are a little less involved on it.

  16. Swapped my Dreamcast's PSU. Planning on doing a GDEMU install at some point, and while the stock PSU is perfectly good, it being a PAL unit means it doesn't like the 12V rail not being used. The resistor trick in the stock PSU seems a bit unsafe, so decided to replace it with the Robot_Retro unit.

    I'm using a uGreen Nexode mini 30W as the AC-DC.

  21. Finally getting around to a several year old project of restoring a spare Game Boy I have. I think I picked this up at a goodwill but it's been so long I don't remember. This shell was absolutely DISGUSTING but it's nice and clean now as best as I can get it.

    I don't plan on retrobriting it because I want it to show off it's character when it's in working condition. Once I replace all the corroded battery contacts, I'll test it to see if it works. Thankfully, none of the corrosion seeped into the main boards at all so I have high hopes for it.

    If it works, I'll get to work replacing the screen, and order some speaker and power mods to modernize it a bit. Unsure if I'm gonna go with a rechargeable battery or not sometime down the line.

    Une nouvelle Game Gear !

    Lors de mon projet de réparation de la Game Gear de ma soeur, j'avais acheté une console "pour pièces".

    Et bien cette console, une fois les condensateurs changés, fonctionnait bien ! Enfin, l'écran était très fatigué, et la coque de la console était bien abîmée. Donc nouveau projet !

  27. Throwback when I opened the 60GB PS3 to change the thermal paste to avoid the yellow light of death.
    The temperature went from 80°C to 60°C.

  31. Done! Revived the #junk yellow #sega :logo_gamegear: #gamegear :gamegear:. Replaced the battery terminals (leakage and rust), all electrolytic capacitors (fishy), lens (scratched) and a new lcd screen in (broken, vertical dead zones) and cleaned the whole thing.

  33. Another console mod for 2023: IPS screen for the PSP and new a battery!
    I had to get a new soldering iron to bridge the circled part but the result was worth it!
    No more ghosting and great colours!
    The battery works wonderfully and the PSP's interior is a work of art 😁

  37. My favorite "accidental" mod job. Was going for lit buttons on a custom Game Boy I already had. Little did I know that the front shell was translucent, and instead of a simple synthwave Game Boy I got one that's synthwave by day, cyberpunk by night.

  41. Surgery complete! Installed Gulikit Hall Effect Thumbsticks into my Steam Deck! It took about 20 minutes but probably would have taken 5 minutes if I hadn’t dropped one of the thumb stick retaining screws in the floor and has to search for it…
