Forgot to take more photos while working, so he made these afterwards. Do you think he will notice this #psp is actually an homage to Mr.Driller? Have to order the DC jack and replace the umbilical cord that is now hanging out from the PSP. #retrogaming #retromodding

And in the end we got it all working (phew) in it's new jacket. A lot of frigging screws though. The #aliexpress shell was so so. Not recommended. Some parts just didn't fit and I had to cut and holes I needed to enlarge. Plastic also felt cheap. #psp #retromodding

Screen, before and after (sloppily taken with a mobile phone in a dark room. Angles may differ a bit, so add lots of salt. #snes #sfc #retromodding #retrorevival

Finished recapping the 1CHIP. Next is to test and see if there is any improvement in the video signal over the old caps. Luckily I remembered (this time) to take some photos of the video output before removed Ng the old caps. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding

Got the good one off and cleaned now too. Hopefully I didn't fry it, coz it got quite hot. #retrorevival #retromodding #snes #superfamicom #sfc

Low melt solder is your friend when removing a chip.... But if you intend to reuse the chip... The pain! The horror! When does the hurting stop?! Cleaning the low melt from the legs is a pain in the arse. #retrorevival #retromodding
-
For reference, these photos are from my working 1CHIP. Colors seem a bit off though, but that's for another time. When looking at the completely green and red screen the colors seem off. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding

Decided to go with this. I am using TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) jack instead of TRS, because this will also allow me to connect composite to it so it can also be used with a 3.5mm to AV RCA cable. #neogeo #snk #retromodding
-
Soldered the shielded audio cable to the headphone jack pins and routed it to the back via the top side. Previously I routed it bottom side, but due to the thickness of the cable it did not fit well. So this time I am routing it too side to the back. #snk #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival
-
De decided not to touch the RGB, since they are already good as it is in the AES3-5. So now I will try to isolate CSync but also try to keep composite. Had to resort to hot glue though. #snk #neogeo #retromodding
-
So following RetroSix instructions, I put a 10K pot on one of the RGB input lines instead of the 6.8K resistor. It turned out to be Red, as the white screen turned cyan when the pot is at highest resistance. I adjusted the pot until the 0.70V stopped jumping around. #retromodding
-
Undid all the stuff to test so now everything is back to stock except that I have CSync wired directly to the DIN. Not to test using 10K pot on the input side of the RGB lines. #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

Finished mod and restoration of the Atari Lynx II. Re-capped, McWill (clone) LCD Mod (did not install VGA out), replaced speaker with a better one, replaced power circuit parts. #atari #lynx #retromodding #retrorevival #retrogaming

Finished my PC-Engine Duo project, only took 8 months. This is my beloved Duo which I got in the 90's, my 1st PC-Engine. Re-capped, some caps were leaking and started corroding the volume wheel (cleaned and fixed), installed an RGB amp, installed an FRAM mod and didn't have to do anything for the drive/laser. #pcengine #retromodding #retrogaming #hudsonsoft

All good! Also made the wires come up in the right order so next time I open her up, I will not feel uncomfortable seeing the wires criss crossing each other. #dekita #pcengine #PCエンジン #retrogaming #retromodding

Took the opportunity to redo the wires from the Hu6260 to the RGB amp with better silicone wire that @aergan.com recommended (thanks!). But will have to stop here because I can't dremel at this hour. #pcengine #retrorevival #retromodding
-
I was hoping to show off the Duo reassembled, but once I turned it on, I am missing colors. I knew right away what caused it. I ran the RGB wires via the front and there is not enough room once the top shell is screwed back on. It will pinch the wiring and lose signal. #pcengine #retromodding
-
Wasn't sure if I had to remove the cap/battery, so I asked Zaxour and got an answer right away. It can be left it or removed, doesn't matter. So then I tested it and it works! Time to close her up now. Good for another 10 years at least. #pcengine #retromodding #retrorevival #PCエンジン
-
Soldered @zaxour.bsky.social's NEC FRAM Adapter in place. Cleaned up, Positioned the FRAM chip (FM16W08-SG) and soldered it onto the adapter. Let's see if it works. #pcengine #retromodding #PCエンジン
-
Removed the SRAM chip. Used low melt solder, flux and the heat gun. Then cleaned it up with IPA. #pcengine #retromodding #PCエンジン

Finished (half) of my modular SCART cable project that I started halfway through repairing/modding my PC-Engine Duo. Finished the SCART end that has an aviation grade 10-pin connector. Now to make the ends that connect to the consoles. #scart #rgb #retrogaming #retromodding
-
Had a "great" idea to use aviation grade plugs to make modular SCART cables. Different SCART heads (caps, no caps, etc) and a separate end for each console. Except that the cable is too thick and I don't have any leeway now to solder the connector and pull it over the cable. #rgb #retromodding

Actually, if I play around with the oscilloscope settings and change frequency and scale, it will show 0.7-0.8Vpp. So the RGB output of the AES3-5 is perfectly fine without the bypass. But let's still try and do a bypass and see what values we get. #retromodding #rgb #snk #neogeo #retrorevival
-
Hooked up the oscilloscope and measured the R value and CSync. Time to read up as I don't really understand what I am looking at. From what I understand I need to get a pure white video signal and then measure. So now I need to find a diagnostic BIOS... #retromodding #retrorevival
-
Cleaned it up with solder wick and IPA, then added the socket and Unibios chip. Tested and it works. Yay! Back to waiting for the oscilloscope... #neogeo #snk #retromodding #retrogaming

Started on the #atari #lynx 2 McWill (ali repro) LCD mod. Removed the unneeded components and put them in a bag for safe keeping. Will keep the brightness dial as I will not adding a VGA port to the Lynx. #retromodding #retrorevival #retrogamimg

Started re-capping the good #laseractive #megadrive PAC and just noticed it needs 34x (!) 16V 10uF smd caps which I don't have that many of. Nor do I have non-,polar d caps of which it needs 2 (on this board). Guess I will do as much as I can for now. #retrogaming #retromodding

After replacing the ICPs and taking lots of time removing the front and drive so I could also replace the remaining 3 caps on them I got about halfway re-assembling the #laseractive. Time to call it a day and also remembered I wanted to RGB mod it and don't have the parts yet.
