/vr/ - Retro Games

Got drunk&high and had a manic episode and decided what better project for me than to buy an old game gear and recap and replace the LCD!

I just spent 80$ on a game gear, and like $160 importing a USB clean power, recapping kit, lcd screen replacement - all sorts of bad ass stuff that I’m a little bit anxious now about.

I am pretty decent at soldering easy mods like I’ve done my sega Saturn, game cube, fixed up other electronics but nothing like recapping. Have any of you guys experience with it? I have a shitty nexttech soldering iron, I think I’d like to invest in a better rig if you have any suggestions or links (if allows)
