Anon, if you really did make them, you realize you wasted a ton of time doing this instead of just splicing the wires together (with solder) and covering them with heat shrink tubing?

One good, one bad.

>>5019602

More like cringe.

>Not just using duct tape

>>5019602
All you're missing is hot glue

Just twist the fucking wires together, what the fuck is your problem?

>>5019781'
>sacrifice wires for one permanent purpose instead of making a reusable adapter
what the fuck is your problem?

>>5019793
Why are you unattaching and reattaching your cables all the time? Get a switch you mong.

>>5019602
Those ports cost more than a real adapter.

>>5019602

>>5019602

>>5019706
That's pretty cool

>>5019707
Is this a performance improvement or just an aesthetic mod?

I have no idea how to do it

>>5020010
Buy an adapter off Amazon???

>>5020020
I don't have a CC to pay for it

>>5019602
What is this accomplishing?

>>5020038
providing immediate functionality while I wait for a more elegant solution to arrive. is it really that hard to understand? same with pic related, also from me.

>>5020010
Now that I think about it it's probably impossible to do without putting solder on the 3.5 jack meaning I would be ruining a pair of headphones

>>5020027
Grow up and get a job

>>5020041
Lol suck my dick

>>5020039
No, I mean what is that literally accomplishing? Is it just a jerryrigged extender for audio and video or something?

>>5020048
oh. well you're on the money about the video connector, but the splitter is for mono audio sources (like my famicom) to get audio from both speakers.

>>5020078
Oh interesting. I didn't know that you could do that with RCA audio.

>>5020047

>>5020124
Wow, knowing what that actually is, this actually fucking hurt, good job thread. You did your job.

>>5020150
Yeah, unfortunately it seemed to be in too bad of a condition to save and attempt to fix-up, its just what happens when you leave stuff outside for nearly 35-40 years. At least I was able to salvage a few good stuff from the hoard dump: 2 NES (problems with start up: pink and gray screens) along with bunch of games, a Commodore 64, and a copy of Link to the Past

>>5019615
>video games
>wasting time
I never would have thought.

>>5020039

Do those actually fucking work??

>>5020124

>>5020275
Yeah

>>5020863
I dunno, he could have another GameCube off camera with the actual disc inside of it.

>>5020905
Is it really that hard to believe? Shaped discs are a thing you know, all that matters is that the data layer is intact.

>>5021009
For the brainlets, if you look at the picture in this post, near the center, the disc is not the same color as the edges. You can see where the data exists.

>>5019908
While this is not done particularly well, it's at least practical and adds a significant additional function to the IIGS.

>>5020027

This legit happened to a friend. Lived in the basement something happened and actual shit came out of the shower drain and flooded and ruined all his games and shit.

>>5019602

I mean they probably work fine. Seems like a lot of effort when a off the shelf female female connector is so cheap. Guessing guy was practicing soldering more than anything.

I made the mono -> stereo (well two channel mono) thing a long time ago works fine for what it is.

>>5020010

Depending what you want to do you but a male or female 3.5mm jack and two RCA female Jack's and solder wires between them

>>5019902
I've seen this picture several times, and just now noticed that the book in the corner was The Odyssey.

>>5019902
I bet the games can still be salvaged, electronics too if they weren't plugged in when this happened. Just dry them and clean them.

>>5020039
This was not necessary, though.

>>5020027
You can buy a pre-paid visa gift card at a grocery store or whatever and use those.

Jesus Christ how horrifying

>>5019706
I love it.

>>5024950
I'd go one further and say sell your gamecube and buy a wii taking a decent profit and still playing your gamecube games off an SD card or usb drive.

>>5019602
You do know they make female pieces for those right anon?

>>5019602
I feel like this image says so much about the retro modding community

>>5020428
Oh my god, those fuckin' PS1 audio fags are the fucking biggest tools.

>>5020863

Guy who originally asked here. Good on you bro. That's pretty damn cool. might try doing that.

>>5019602
what's the top part supposed to be, stereo-to-mono?

>>5020039
>>5020863
That's gross, but also kind of neat.

>>5019602
I've made an SNES to NES adapter so I can use my super hori commander on my NES and I didn't fuck it up nearly as bad as you seemed to.

I think he just means that the end result looks okay, but to some people it's a disgrace to modify original hardware in any way so to them it would be "tech gore." But I agree with you that it's stupid.

>This legit happened to a friend.
This actually happened to me, and how I lost about 2/3 of my collection about 5 years ago. We just bought a house, and our inspector missed some detail with the waste line being full of roots. Our first day there the basement floor had about an inch of shit/piss water...It was a finished basement. I had a few plastic tubs, but most of my stuff was in cardboard boxes. Lots of big box pc. Most of my loose games got shitted up. Systems were in plastic tubs thankfully. I use flash carts now. fuck that nonsense. Snes, and PSX games were ruined. I also collected Gamecube, and somehow it was unharmed totally, so I sold it. It wasn't big financially, but some of the stuff was collected just for the sake of collection & future resale. The media isn't what is important to a collector. A CIB 1st print case with the game is. It cost me $7k to get my sewer issue fixed, and it involved tearing up the front yard. Video games were the least of my worries.

>>5029660
Nice blog post
Did you trash the games or sell them?

Cleaning poop isnt that gross if you know what soap is.

>>5020863
>>5020039


why not get a drill and a drill bit to drill holes in wood the size of a gc disc. would work way better than this and if your not a complete ignoramus you can use it for other projects, becuase thats what men do!

use a diamond tip metal hole saw

>>5029742
There's no need for diamonds abrasive cutting implements to cut a plastic disc. This isn't glass or ceramic

>>5020083
Here's the non-DIY version:

>>5029635
Are those beans in the grips?

>>5020083
Not to blow your mind, but you can connect one console to a ton of tvs with RCA splitters. I used to do it with 360/ps3 as well over component to get a cheap split for capture card and tv.

With most analog outputs the signal is just blasted outwards and the input is looking for anything it can get to amplify/display.

The issue would be ground loops and weakening the signal, so there is a limit to how much you can split it.

>>5020039
Any pic of these with the data side up?

>>5030179
Pro-quality distribution amps for analogue formats are all over eBay for peanuts.

There's no excuse not to use one.

>>5030171
Yeah, it was a super rare version, I forget what game it came with, but it's one of those collector edition type things. The problem is, over time, most of the beans in these special edition controllers have dissolved into a gross looking sludge. I suspect this is a picture from the early 2000s because after that, most are just sludge inside.

>>5030262
I threw them away a long time ago, sorry bud.

>>5019706
That really does look good.

Because if that's where the level peaked, most of those pins are easily salvaged.

>>5032940
For what purpose?

>>5033112
That actually looks kinda neat

>>5033137
It smells of spraypaint and is sticky to the touch, even years afterwards.

>>5033186
That's how I like my consoles best though

>>5031452
Try youtube. I did a quick search and didn't see anything but if you can't find anything I'll put something up. There are many different versions and they work different ways. I have older things that use a VCD up to things with a built in screen that use a DVD and can load off USB.

>he fell for the (((untested))) meme on ebay

This was from like 2007. I accidentally fried every chip on an old famicom by hooking up voltage in reverse. Ended up having to scavenge chips from a physically damaged NES board. Problem was the ram chips on the Famicom were surface mount and the ones on the NES were through hole. Made this ugly contraption and put it all back in its case.

>>5033469

No, but I wanted to make sure that those tiny wires wouldn't pop off of the little traces I soldered to. :P

>>5035329
Oh, and as for the hot glue on the power wires down below I peeled all of that off later when I put it back together.

>>5029531

you know what keeps the wires attached to the solder-spots?
___Solder.___
If you __need __ glue, you did it wrong.

>>5036358
>>5036361
i want to see the inside of it

>>5036832

I did have one pop off when I was moving the board around during soldering so for insurance it was hot glue time. Those little traces on the board didn't leave much room for solder.

I'm not selling it as a pro mod or anything. It was either that or in the trash it went.

>>5038263
What the hell am I even looking at?

Common gameboy screen delamination problem. Looks like it was exposed to a candle or bad sun but it just happens

I bought this NES for 3€ (4 US$) in a flea market to see if I could make it look better or something

>>5039691
The interior was AWFUL, I've never found anything close to this, I still can't figure out what the fuck that shit was, but I vacuumed it up and then cleaned it all with alcohol and a toothbrush

I'm going to try this then. I have a bunch of CD's laying around anyway.

>>5045328
They need to be DVDs, not CDs.

>>5045361
Aren't DVD's also compact discs?

>>5045365
"digital video disc" or "digital versatile disc"

Same form factor, but they have a higher storage capacity.

>>5045384
I already paid attention to that, all gamecube games are around 1GB in size, CD-ROM's are 700mb and I have some recordable dvd's with 4.7gb.
I'll try something tomorrow.

>>5045407
Even if this fucked the labels, you still have about $200 worth of carts there. If the labels were ok, probably $250. Of course you'd have to clean the literal shit off and out of them first.

>>5044787
>the color scheme is garbage
BASED and redps1ed.

>>5045628
I think so.

>>5033112
this would be cool if it looked less like blue cheeto finger smudges around the switches

>>5033112
Not the biggest fan, but this would beat a brown-yellow console. I have 2 horribly yellowed consoles that I may paint so I can sell them. No one buys the yellowed ones locally.

>>5046385
you could consider using retrobrite on them and selling them as restored, explaining the process to potential buyers

>>5019902

Probably not good for your CD drive's motor.

Yeah but it's unique, so it gets people talking about it, so it's free advertising, so more people buy it, so more money for the company.
Who cares if it fucks the consumer's equipment?

Paint is easier for what will essentially be a $40 local sale.

>>5048402
Idk man, painting consoles turns them into niche appeal objects. You could charge more for them if you're lucky, but you'd have to wait/find the right buyer who'd be willing to pay more depending on the design you put on it. A clean system in refreshed original colors would have wider appeal.

If trying to sell the yellowed consoles for $40 hasn't worked, how about lowering the prices by the same amount as the paint and painting materials would cost (if you don't already have them)?

>>5019706
This is honestly the only paintjob on a console that didn't make me cringe.

>>5048414
They are utterly disgustingly brown, worse I've ever seen. I would be lucky to give them away at this point.

>>5048440
My blood pressure just went up thinking of the parts that could have been used to repair/refurbish other consoles. Shit, there's probably enough there to salvage half or more of them as perfectly usable with some mixing & matching.

Just don't tell me they're mostly known working systems. DO NOT tell me that.

>>5048473
C'mon man, you know it in your heart. They're probably working systems. It's almost a guarantee with the NES and SNES systems. You know how tough that shit is.

Ebay sellers are all scum. He claims he cleans his shit because that appeals to potential consumers, and most retro video shit looks clean enough at a cursory glance that most will never notice. Of course, once you called him on his BS, there's no way he was going to back off because then he'd have to admit he was wrong, and humans are like 99.9% incapable of doing that, so he's just hoping you imagine some scenario where, somehow, the items got dirty in the mail. You're just an outlier. He probably doesn't clean a single thing, but the risk that someone will notice and call him on it does not outweigh the benefit of him claiming his stuff is clean. This is how most major corporations function.

If they're yellowed in the right places, it's a simple way of proving to potential collectors that it's worth a lot of money.

>>5054883
out of all the copies that were made, besides faulty units and breaking from over use or negelct... we also have to account for all the times video were thrown out and wasted like this. thats alot of stuff just trashed in these pictures, then there are the people who post videos of them breaking meme things like retro video just to watch the world burn!

there was a time around 2000-ish that retro video games were basically garbage and sold for pennies on the dollar. I think alot of mass trashing of collections and what not met the same fate. that begs the question, do we over calculate the amount of things that have survived? what if there is half the number of things left then there was during production?

>>5054446

Yes anon, I was paid $500 by my father in-law to clear some junk off an acre of some his property, inside a broken down stripped cube van was these, asked if I could take them which was no problem as he nor his brothers claim to know anything about them lol

had to replace power cord (was frayed, ripped off), but unit powers on no problem and everything seems to still work

>>5060851
Like everything I’ve posted ITT it was just temporary. I didn’t have the exact resistor so I had to fashion together a substitute by soldering a bunch of resistors together and getting relatively close to the resistance called for in the AV mod instructions. And since I was going to have to desolder the entire PPU anyways meaning I’d have to reattach everything all over again, I wasn’t concerned with looks.

That reminds me of the dude who got a wii full of spiders

>>5059747
Yes, I remember something similar for the PS2. There were those discs that straight used cut out parts of original discs to make you use the pirated ones.
I think they were called Swap Magic or something and if you looked at the data side you could actually see that they were cut out

>>5048473
>with some mixing & matching.
I had to do this to my old PS1. I don't know why but the modchip stopped work someday and I had to tear it down and re-solder the thing. On doing that a small resistor melted and I had to go through hundreds of sites to know the resistance of that piece of shit. Once I found out I just slapped on it a normal resistor and it worked.

>>5060961
>what's that supposed to be?
It's a hole for the ventilation.

>>5062546
A spiderbro?

>>5062591
all can play them with nintendont. (except for wii minishit, of course)
only those with gc-ports can use the controllers/mc and the discs natively, too.
>>5062602
>get my swapmagic 3.8

>tfw that's actually true
wtf
>>5062617
stupid to use such a tiny fan, other than being loud it's really useless.

>>5062685
Of course it's true, the catch of Swap magic is that they used actual strings of original discs to make the pirated run fooling the PS2 that it was an original copy. I still don't know how in the everloving fuck they cut out and slapped actual pieces of data through a disc to another

>>5062685
Also post the data side of your Swaps I wanna see it again and I can't find a pic on google.

A very rare original xbox development kit that some R*dditor gutted and destroyed to use its plastic case for a GAYMEN PC

>>5065551
It's a meme that newfags pretend to get upset about so they can attempt to fit in.
That's an XBox dev kit. The guy who owned it posted on a completely dead subreddit asking what he should do it, if it might be valuable or something. A couple months later, since he received no replies, he gave it to his son, who gutted it, including wiping the drive, to build a gaming PC, and when he posted it on a much more active subreddit, everyone went rabid on him since the drive could have contained "valuable" information.

>>5062574
fuck no, they're spooky

>>5065627
>"valuable" information
It was like 20 gigs you moron. He just couldn't read any of that data because it was some weird fucked up proprietary bullshit.

>>5066781
> He just couldn't read any of that data because it was some weird fucked up proprietary bullshit.

It was nothing and you bloody well know it.

>>5066790
it was you, wasn't it?

>>5063758
AND literally nothing of value was lost. /v/ knows this too but as usual all it wants is to fan its outrage complex and screech and whine about some hypothetical build of the original halo that may or may not have been lost or actually existed. It doesn’t help that the OG Xbox has only a handful of good games, and all of them are from Sega.

Really? Why is that?
I've personally never liked the PSone model. It's just too fucking small and I'd always feel like I'd accidentally yank it off the table

>>5066971
Yes. It was me. I did it.

>>5067003
Original Xbox was better than what came later though, especially when it came to exclusives.

>>5067408
Xbox brand has always been pretty trash as far as exclusives. Xbox only had the two halos as timed exclusives, and then a handful of exclusives like the sega titles. Other than that I guess it was somewhat interesting for the time because it got a lot of PC ports in a time when PC games didn't usually go multiplat.

>>5067424
Original Xbox actually had some interesting stuff like Metal wolf chaos, Conker, Blinx, SMT Nine, Ninja Gaiden Otogi, MechAssault and other stuff. Then 360 and especially the xbone had fuck all for exclusives

>>5063625
No idea. The fact that every one of those could go out a multi out is what confuses me. I mean, if you somehow wanted rgb and component, you could put 3 ports for the component video signal and have the rest go through multi out.

I don't think there would be enough space (inside or out) to fit that many connectors on the back.

>>5065000
So it's literally a retail copy of a game, cut up, and adhered to a piece of another disc? How much did these cost? I had one during my original ps2 days but I can't imagine paying more than $30 or so.

>>5063618
Wowie! Are those holes on the housing sloppy! Ever heard of a power drill? Wowie wow! Looks like ASS!

2011

Over the past week, large areas of Australia's eastern seaboard have been ravaged by floods. Billions of dollars worth of damage has been done, and sitting quietly amidst that tally is this man's retro gaming hardware collection.

Aussie collector NFG's house in Queensland was among those affected, flood waters getting into his home and destroying many of his personal belongings. Among those belongings was an amazing collection of retro gaming hardware, once a glittering array of the medium's past, now a worthless pile of mud-soaked plastic and chipboards (and rare Nintendo hanafuda cards).
