Spice Orange #gamecube and #gameboy Player I re-capped and installed a picoboot finally found a new home. Good thing I gave it a last check, the GB Player was not 100%, seemed to work, but would crash only at specific things. Had another orange one. Love the matching CRT! #retrorevival

Works! I swapped out the needle with my red bought with hard-earned money Pro-Ject turntable and it's tone arm counterweight as well. Put on one of the 90's greats and turned it on. So now I have to order a needle and (make?) a counter weight. #vinyl #retrorevival

That came out looking better than expected. But the smaller piece broke into even smaller pieces. Don't thinknthat can be saved anymore. But.... I have an idea! #gameandwatch #retrorevival

Connected 3V directly to it and it is still working. Not sure where I can get a replacement battery terminals. Maybe just hook up an USB to 3V cable with crocodile clips? #retrorevival #gameandwatch

Battery terminals desintegrated upon touch. Let's connect some juice and see if the rest still works. #gameandwatch #retrorepair #retrorevival

Fixated both connectors with a little super glue. All done now, just missing a lid. Waiting for a friend to model and print that for me. RJ45 can be used to connect 3 multiplayer controllers and a S-Video cable. If only it had Goldeneye. #ique #n64 #retrorevival #retromodding

All wired up and still working. Made some of the wires shorter as well and fixed some wrong wiring. There is a unused pin that in the docs is not shown or numbered. So if you count from that side you are off 1 pin. So always count from the side the power should be connected. #n64 #ique #retrorevival

Tested again with a (good) power bank, I didn't want to look for a USB charger and right cable. No more distortion, so it was just dirty power. Now to decide how to wire the RJ45... #n64 #ique #retrorevival

So this was the setup for the first test. I used a 5V 4A USBC (for Raspberry Pi) power supply from AliExpress. As you can see in the video, there is some horizontal line distortion all over the screen. #n64 #ique #retrorevival

Checked if the audio and video wires were connected correctly. Checked if USBC was giving 5V. All OK. Connected it and turned it on. And it is working. Video quality is a bit bad though. There is noise/distortion it seems. Can't remember if the other iQue I had was the same. #n64 #retrorevival #ique

Finished soldering the wires for audio and composite to the 3.5mm jack and USBC power. Let's test this first (tomorrow) and do S-Video and extra controllers to the RJ45 jack later. #n64 #ique #retrorevival

Quick wiring scheme. And first pass cleaning all the paint splatters off it with IPA. #ique #retrorevival #n64

Not sure what happened with this unit, looks like someone brought it to work while painting the building and when cutting metal. Paint spatters all over and metal sprinkles... Let's try and clean it as much possible before I have to leave for my appointment. #n64 #retrorevival

After putting it back together I noticed my routing option was not actually inside the case. So I had to go back in, resolder the points so the wires could more easily be tucked away. #pcengine #PCエンジン #retrorevival

So after a night in the retrobright vapor box we see totally no difference. I still think I need better hydrogen peroxide. Temperature should be OK, as well as UV light. #pcengine #PCエンジン #retrorevival
