  1. Re-capped the last board as well. The IPD dial was a bit stuck, so I used some silicon grease on the parts that move and touch eachother and it is a bit better now. But... the right screen no longer works properly, so will have to re-solder the ribbon cable(s). #virtualboy #retrorevival

  4. I also re-capped the main board and sound board. The knob on top was a bit stuck, so I re-opened it and noticed I forgot all about another board. So we continue... #virtualboy #retrorevival

  7. Works! Both screens are still working. I guess I will wait for it/them to fail before re-soldering the flat cables. Used the super convenient USBC PD power adapter from @retroonyx.bsky.social to test it.

  10. Picked up the #virtualboy again from ages ago. Controller port broke off, someone probably pressed the connector in too hard. Super glue and baking soda, very sturdy now. But... used a bit too much, the opening slides over the port and now it touches the repaired part and won't close. #retrorevival

  13. Seems to work much better after removing the #modchip. The first test it took a few seconds for it to see the music CD, after playing 1 song it could not play other songs. But after turning it on and off again it seems to worknevery time now. #retrorevival #retromodding #ps1

  16. Let's open her up and have a look inside... What do we have here? Young me put an #modchip inside. I remember this to be an early chip, one of the first compatible with the #psone. Let's remove it and test again. #retrorevival #ps1 #retromodding

  19. Put it all back together again and it is working fine. So probably gunk. #neogeo #retrorevival

  22. So I opened the joystick up and removed the switch for the select button. Measured continuity with the multimeter while pressing it and it seemed to work just fine. Maybe gunk in the button opening and button itself, so I cleaned that with some IPA. #neogeo #retrorevival

  25. The AES with NeoPass was shipped to it's new owner and I didn't completely test the joystick... Turned out the SELECT key was stuck. It happened once or twice while I had the 161in1 cart in, but not after, so I didn't think it was the joystick. #neogeo #snk #retrorevival

  28. These are the points you can use to tap audio from. Left, Right and Ground. The side I am using this time is line level audio, if you connect to the points on the other side you can control the volume of the audio with the volume slider just like a headphone. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

  33. The stereo mod. Will run cable over top (again), not enough clearance bottom side for the 24AWG 2-core cable I am using. And all the sharp points sticking out could prick through the cable and make contact with the GND shielding of the cable. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

  38. Pure CSYNC mod enabled. Can't really see the difference with using composite as sync, but I am sure someone with better eye can. #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

  43. RGB bypass done. Feels like a little sharper and brighter. Currently still using composite as sync, no changes there yet. That's up next. #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival

  48. Keep forgetting how fragile the AES boards are. Bodged a few pads. My way of removing the caps is also to blame. I heat up one side, bend, heat up other s8de, bend, until it comes out. Works well if the pads don't come off... #snk #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding

  53. Put new caps in (except the 2200uF low profile one). Cleaned up, test... and still working... phew :). Maybe continue tonight with the RGB bypass. #snk #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding
