You are absolutely not qualified to be doing this installation and are guaranteed to fuck something up. Turn back how.

Meh I had no problems doing the av mod, I just have retarded hands when I have to desolder something.

It'll be fine you just need to invest in a better desoldering tool and flux

>>5791586
OK, thanks for your answer, I have a reasonably good soldering iron but removing the PPU with it and only a shitty desoldering pump was indeed hell.

>>5791574
It's a miracle that you haven't broken any pins or ripped off a solder pad. What's your workflow here?

>>5791616
Basically this method (soldering iron+ pump) + coffee: http://etim.net.au/nesrgb/remove_ic/

>>5791574
It's probably fine. Getting the PPU out is the hardest part of this mod. You've already got it out, so there's no need to splurge on a desoldering tool unless you plan to do more. Best thing to do is just finish and see if it works. Any damage done by too much heat certainly wouldn't be something visible on the pin, so I wouldn't worry about that. Probably just corrosion/discoloration/rust mixed in with the solder itself. These things are over 30 years old now.

Definitely use flux, though, if you're not already.

RIPIP

>>5791609
Don't you have any wick? It's relatively easy when you have desoldering wick + flux.

>>5791574
Drakon pls

>yet another playchoice 10 and a NES killed by a retard

>>5791841
There's a fully aftermarket version since like 2015

>>5791574
You need to invest in a pin straightener

>>5791864
That doesn’t work right, yeah.

>>5791574
OP, there's very little point in attempting this mod unless you have the tools. The nigger rig solution may work but is still terrible.

>>5791841
>>5791992
Oh hey the retard that doesn't know about the NESRGB or that you can change the stock palette.

>>5791763
I have some wick but it's a bit too wide, it wasn't really helpful
>>5791841
It's only a Famicom PPU, nothing of value, really.
>>5791893
You think so? Just for one time?
>>5791996
Well I have a competent soldering iron, I've built many guitar pedals (like more than 20) with it, no problem so far. Apart from my inability to desolder stuff I don't see anything challenging in this guide: https://etim.net.au/nesrgb/installation-famicom/
Aren't my basic nigger tools enough now that I've desoldered the PPU?

>>5792034
>Aren't my basic nigger tools enough now that I've desoldered the PPU?
Sure go ham. The PPU is already fucked.

>bent pins =/= fucked

>>5791574
>>5791840

Just don't forget to put hot glue on everything to seal things up nice and tight when you are done. Pic related for reference.

>>5792040
Yes, bent pins means it's literally fucked by any standard except for your shithole. I forget sometimes that shit like this is acceptable in some places.

>>5792057

>>5791578
People need to start somewhere. Some people need to fuck up to learn.

>>5792058
>>5792036
What makes ignorant people so upset about stuff they refuse to try to understand?

>>5792034
>https://etim.net.au/nesrgb/installation-famicom/
All that fucking work and money to play games the way absolutely no devs intended. It's going to be a yikes from me.

>>5791864
But that's not the one in OPs pic

Sure, but take a guess what usually happens with the rest of those arcade board.

>>5792080
>>5792080
I'm laughing that there's actually 3rd world retards posting on here that think bent pins are acceptable. That's so far beyond what is acceptable it's comical.

>>5792058
>it's literally fucked by any standard except for your shithole
It's only fucked if the chip doesn't work. Bent pins can be straightened.
>>5792081
I don't want to pay for a TV licence in my europoor country just for vidya (i don't watch tv and i don't want one), i'm using a framemeister plugged to a pc screen. I'm not giving 140€/year to finance public channels i don't watch. I'm sorry for the devs but that how it is.
>>5792069
I can totally accept that i fucked up and that it will not work, no problem, i'll get better equipment, a new famicom and i'll try again until i get it right.
>>5792084
>But that's not the one in OPs pic
This is the famicom PPU, i'm installing the kit he's talking about, desoldering the PPU is the first step.
>Sure, but take a guess what usually happens with the rest of those arcade board.
This is why i tried with basic equipment, to see if i can get a working result without spending money on soldering stuff i'll use once every 5 years. I know a famicom is worth nothing and that if i'd fuck up i didn't destroy something valuable.
>>5792085
>That's so far beyond what is acceptable
Acceptable in which sense? It's messy, i know it. I also know i don't have the proper tools and that i've done a shit job, my question was only if the chip still can be functional, that's it. My definition of acceptable is "is it working".

>>5792084
That's the PPU he's removed from his NES to pop onto the nesrgb daughterboard

>>5792118
>actually trying to justify bent pins being acceptable
Keep going I'm enjoying this.

>>5792136
Of course you are, you're one of those people who are desperately searching for anything to make you feel superior to random people online

>>5792136
You still didn't define "acceptable", i can't try to justify something if don't have a clear definition of. I don't know what do you imply by "acceptable". Stop sperging like if i was trying to convince anyone i've made something else than a shitty homemade job.

>>5792085
Yeah, electricity doesn't handle corners well. If the conducter it is traveling through is too bent or crooked, it can get stuck.

>>5792141
No not really. Going from an environment where I'm worrying if the stickers are labeled correctly and returning whole orders back to mouser/digikey if they aren't packed right to some literal retard on the internet saying bent pins is ok really puts it all into perspective.

>>5792118
Get some desoldering wick and a chisel tip for your iron if you have one of those stupid pointy ones
Use flux
Clean up rust with vinegar and the rest like flux with alcohol

>>5792154
I've ordered thinner desoldering wick and some Flux, thanks.

>>5792001
There's only three choices here; stock PPU over composite, PC-10, of Sharp Famicom Titler. Anything else is emulator-tier, inaccurate nonsense.

>>5792263
>taking ntsc signals to rgb
>emulator
K, bud

>>5792271
imagine thinking sticking a PPU emulator in an NES is still using 'real hardware'

>>5792298
By your logic everything is emulator since every TV is doing the same thing essentially when it converts these signals to RGB.

>>5792298
Imagine thinking taking RGB and turning it to not-RGB then putting it into a tv to turn back to RGB is using 'real hardware'

Oh wait.

Your retard logic is smegmabrained

>>5792329
You do realize the Famicom/NES PPU doesn't generate RGB at all, right anon?

>>5791574
You're completely fine. The removal of the PPU is a pain in the ass, but the hardest part is over. If you're at all competent with a soldering iron, the rest is piss easy.

Don't listen to the kiddos and their negative bullshit. They probably haven't ever even made a cable before. Sure, the pins don't look the best right now, but get all the solder off them with some wick and straighten them, and they will look great again. Just finish the mod and see if it works. My bet is that it will work fine.

>>5791574
nigger you pulled the whole via out

>>5791574
>on the pin
means nothing, it's just dirt on the metal. Could come from virtually anything, more often than not impurities in the flux or a stray plastic combustible. Heat it and clean it with the usual method

>>5792034
>You think so? Just for one time?
just use that think that lets you pick your hair

let's see the board you took it out of

Actuallly that brown piece is a through hole conductor-make sure both sides are soldered when reinstalled

>>5792780
>that bent pin
Nice anon, actually looking at ops potato pic

>>5791574
how many watts does your iron have?

>>5792034
They're like $4-5 on ebay
