Needs more hotglue

>>6119007
I have done 60hz/lockout switches on PAL Snes and an Ultra HDMI mod on my N64. Both work very nicely. The Ultra HDMI kit is pretty expensive for what it is though

>>6119123
The Ultra HDMI looks like a very fun mod to do. What is it like? Soldering on to a ribbon cable seems a little scary.

>>6119007
Modchips in my PS1 and GameCube (I use it for Game Boy games, OK?), RGB mods in my SNES Jr., N64, and PC Engine IFU. AV Famicom is next on the list, want to get a proper desoldering gun first though. I've also RGB-modded a few consumer CRTs. Some other minor stuff and repairs, too.

>>6119178
What do you need a desoldering gun for? All you need is wick and a solderpult to do basically everything. Guns are for speed.

>>6119079
now when you say hotglue you mean....?

>>6119201
>All you need is wick and a solderpult to do basically everything
these things fucking suck, I bought a zd-915, a chink hakko clone and it works phenomenally. It is beyond worth it for through-hole work.

>>6119202
I dunno I just electrical taped over it.

I backlit my Pocket (no bivert). I don't necessarily recommend this mod since there are now non-destructive drop-in LCDs for just about every gameboy.

>>6119210
Wick works great you just have to put some flux on it. You sound like a 2 bit hack I would never let work on my systems.

>>6119201
I know, and I've done enough removals that way to also know that it's gigantic a pain in the ass and carries much more risk of damage than when using the proper equipment.

>>6119007
RGB modded N64, paired with HD retrovision SNES component cables.
I've s-video modded a Genesis 1, 2, and 3. (I did this before the component cables came out.)
And I've consolized a Game Gear.

>>6119214
You just discover flux or something? They don't work great. Get real equipment if you're gonna be doing real work. Stick to replacing batteries with your current gear, for the sake of the victims of your modding.

>>6119252
>Mr needs a soldering pump to do an av famicom mod calling me out

Modchips on my PS1 and PS2 to play burned games

Chipped a PSOne to play burned games. Didnt want to defile my original PS. It was cheap, easy and works great.

ugly pieces of shit... i'll smoke the fuck out of this in my 89 nes frontloader with a couple of simple mods:

-blue led
-three piece discontinued blinking light win
-pc10 rgb ppu with scart out
-spraypainted famicom colors
-led illuminated controllers and cartridge bay
-acrylic top panel
-rf shield delete
-soldered famicom slot on top
-disabled 10nes
-enio chip for expanded audio
-true stereo output

i'm making crystal clear pixels on COMPOSITE OUTPUT which is the only way you should ever play games

It's amazing how autistic you idiots can be about soldering. I bet you cum in your shorts boiling pasta, if you weren't busy arguing about whether to add oil or salt to the water.

>>6119007
>Modchip in my PS1
>Phantom modchip in my Saturn
>Famicom AV modded
>PAL SNES modded for 60hz
That's all, I am still thinking about upgrading my famicom mod.

>>6119458
Pretty good

>>6119506
>Adding oil to the water

I chipped my ps1 and did the region mod on my genesis along with a composite color correction mod on it.
I posted here when I did it and everyone laughed at my shitty job saying I trashed my consoles.
Guess what, they both work just fine.

Is there a freemcboot style system for ps1 or is it still the modchip stone age?

>>6119946
Modchip. And the faggot strayan psio that still needs a modchip.

>>6119948
Calling it a modchip is giving it alot of credit. It's just a switch board. You could just bust traces and permanently run it to the psio and not use the chip.

Is it possible to mount a microcontroller modchip on a ps2 just for playing ps1 out of region backups?

>>6119007
RGB N64, your eyes will thank you.

>>6119212
So you know if there is something similar for the game gear? I would probably have to deactivate the original light though

As a kid I put a bunch of stickers on my N64, dont know if that counts.

>>6119007
I did an RGB mod on my SNES Jr a couple months ago. Nervously as fuck because I never soldered before. I considered doing it for my N64 too but said fuck it. Once I get my PC Engine I'll be doing RGB on that though.

>>6119201
desolder a nes ppu with wick only, and film it, please.

Kek I did an svideo mod on the genesis gen 1 and it worked fine when it used it last but I noticed some blue interference traveling up the screen today, and I took the console and shook it a bit to move the components I let hang in the case (wrapped with electrical tape) and now it works fine. Probably should take it apart and really secure the added components so that doesn't happen again but eh.

>>6119946
ever heard of unirom?

>>6120608
nice work

>>6119201
The NES and Famicom use plated through holes in their boards. Those are not easy to remove with only wick.

>>6119909

Enjoy your noodles sticking together dumbass

>>6120867
Finally, a reason to use this image.

I have an RGB mod for my AV famicom, modchipped my PS1, soldered my Virtual Boy led connectors and have a SuperCIC on my PAL SNES. The last one was the only real disappointment as it refuses to boot games such as Super Mario RPG which was the point of the mod anyway; an all-in-one capable system.

>>6119007
NESRGB toploader, multiple AV mod jailbar free toploader NES, 2600 composite mod, Arcadia 2001 AV mod, N64 RGB, Snes mini/jr rgb mod, consolized mvs, backlit/bivert gameboy dmg, broken ds made into a gameboy macro, recapped game gear, rgb modded pc engine, pal sms 2 converted to 60hz and correct color burst frequency so it's essentially an ntsc with kid alex as the built in game. Modchipped ps1, ps2, saturn. Dreamcast with usbgdrom, pico psu, noctua fan, huge clock battery, like the silver packs used in modern electronics, resettable fuse on controller port. Many arcade repairs, sticks, pad hacks, etc. RGB mods on consumer tvs. Many scart cables or scart to bnc pigtails. There are a bunch I'm forgetting, some jailbar reduction stuff, audio improvement etc.

Of all these, the absolute worst is the nesrgb mod. Nintendo has full plated through holes and you can fuck traces up super easily. I turn my soldering iron to max, 455f, and work fast. You have to have super heat with a huge tip and work fast. Desoldering guns would be a must if you wanted to do very many of them. I've done 3 total but would never do another without first buying a desoldering gun. I can do it without damage, but it's a pain in the dick using hand pumps and braid on all those pesky connections.

>>6121147
>455f
Fuck meant C

>>6120867
That's what the salt is for

>>6120703
No I had not. I even have a gameshark I could flash.

>>6119201
desoldering guns are amazing.
I spent $200 on my Hakko 808 and it was the single best purchase I've ever made in my electronics hobby kit. I love it dearly.

It has saved me from hand cramps and pulled traces.
It goes through through-hole plated components like a hot knife through butter. Literally.

It's also great for sucking up large solder globs from bigger components, like on old intellivision shielding, where they soldered it in place, or on CRTs to desolder large components like beefy capacitors or the flyback transformer.

>>6120507
You want McWill's LCd replacement:
https://www.retromodding.com/products/mcwills-sega-game-gear-lcd-upgrade

>>6121216
Is it worth it to get a name brand gun or is a chink clone fine?

>>6121223
dunno.
Probably? As long as the hakko tips fit, and its as serviceable as the 808, I don't see why not. (808 comes with an exploded diagram and parts list, every part is user-serviceable, and it even comes with a replacement heating element).
They don't sell the 808 anymore, which is a shame.
808 looks like a professional tool. All chrome tips and black housing.
The FR-300 they replaced it with looks like some fisher price playskool shit with purple and yellow housing.

>>6121223
Haven't used one myself, but everyone seems to like the chink ZD-915.

I recently had someone do some upgrades on my Saturn. Modchip to play backups, bios changed to play all regions, a fram chip put to prevent saves from being lost, and a kinda uncommon mod, an optical toslink port put in, so I am able to tap into digital audio which I run over to a headphone amp.

I feel like I could easily get addicted to this hobby.. with some of the other common mods on other systems I am wondering if I should go analog RGB (to have the freedom of connecting to CRTs or an OSSC for digital TVs) or doing these HDMI mods. Like for NES and N64, RGB or HDMI? A sick part of my brain says I should double down and invest in multiple consoles and try out both mods..

Added 512K more RAM to my Amiga.
AV modded three famicoms.
AV modded one top loading NES.
modchipped two playstations (using AVR chips I flashed myself with PSNee).
RGB modded a SNES mini for someone else.
Mega amp modded a VA7 Model 1 genesis for someone else. Made my own PCB.
S-video modded the same genesis for someone else. Did point-to-point soldering there since there were maybe four components.
Buffered the sync line on my own Genesis Model 1 (VA6).
USB-modded a Sun type 5 keyboard (okay, maybe not a console mod).
Added pure csync output to a PSX with RCA jacks (just replaced the composite video signal to the yellow jack with a pure csync signal made by ORing the vsync and hsync pins of the GPU together).
Added termination and decoupling to the RGB lines on all my consoles that didn't already have it.
Cut the tabs out in the cart slot of my N64 so I can play japanese games (Custom Robo).

Probably forgetting a few things.

>>6121707
>Like for NES and N64, RGB or HDMI?
>NES
Do you want to be able to play Bayou Billy, The Lone Ranger, and all the rest of the light gun games with the zapper? If so, RGB is the clear choice.
>N64
Either. The RGB mod is a hell of a lot cheaper, but both give good video and can de-blur the N64's video.

>>6121707
>had someone do some upgrades on my Saturn
Do you let other people fuck your girlfriend? Same thing.

>>6121820
Indeed.
Learn something for a change, do your own mod work. it's more fun and meaningful that way.

Modded an SCPH-1160 guncon thing to include decoupling caps for the RGB lines and to output luma via the yellow jack, so I can get good RGB out of any PSX with a PS2 component cable.

>>6121820
Nothing like opening up a virgin console and covering it in your hot sticky man glue.

>Do you let other people fuck your girlfriend? Same thing.
Uh. Wow.
When my car has issues, I take it to a mechanic.
When I want some really well prepared food, I got to a restaurant and have it cooked by a chef or whatever.

I've skimmed some online videos, watching people do mod work and have considered trying it myself, it would certainly be cheaper, and I imagined it would feel more grafftying, knowing that you personally did the work, but ultimately it was so much easier to just send my system off to have someone else do it. I dunno, maybe I'll test the waters with something simple at some point.

What's a simple beginner mod? Modchip in a PSX? RGB mod for the N64?

>>6121873
A console isn't like a car in that they can be replaced rather cheaply compared to a car if you fuck up, and you can live your life with a console opened up on a table at home.

>>6121873
AV mod for NES toploader/famicom is how I started.
Those surfacemount systems are a teeny bit harder. Not THAT bad though. Modchips are pretty straightforward.

>>6121873
>RGB mod for the N64?
If you do the basic amp mod with a premade board, that's one of the easiest mods you can do.

A slightly advanced take on the famicom AV mod

>>6121882
>premade board
Fucking amateurs.

So what's /vr/s peak soldering porn youtuber? I enjoy watching Voultar and bigclive.

>>6121889
I'm a big fan of GadgetUK164. He's autistic as hell but his ramblings are oddly comfy to listen to as he repairs stacks of faulty Neo Geos and Amigas.

>>6121895
Nice

>>6121889
>Voultar
I liked him when he was just on #nesdev IRC and not a youtuber piece of shit attention whore.

Youtubers are a cancer and you should feel ashamed and retarded.

>>6120867
Enjoy not having your sauce stick to your pasta

>>6121909
He posts vids incredibly rarely. Far from a youtuber attention whore.

>>6121929
OK Zoomer.
He never comes on IRC anymore, too busy being the attention whore on more visited channels of less serious/intelligent communication.

>>6121895
How did I never see this guy before. He's great, love his PC engine stuff.

Fuck Voultar and everyone like him. Subhuman piece of shit.
Bigclive is OK, but not video games.

>>6122236
Wanna give me a quick rundown on Voultar?

>>6122273
He does the thing where he's mean to bad modders

What's a good eprom programmer? Looking to do throughhole and surface mount stuff.
>>6122309
Sounds pretty based, lots of hacks out there.

>>6122312
Considering going all out and picking up a FlashcatUSB Mach1 and a couple different sockets since it seems to be the shit.

>>6122273
A quick look at either his store or twitter feed should tell you all you need to know. Probably youtube as well, but I haven't seen any of his videos.

>>6122323
What did he do to hurt you anon?

>>6122323
not seeing it, i dont like hyperkin or game journos either

>>6119007

Ethylene-vinyl acetate you Sexual Deviant

>>6124640
Buying the mods and console.

Soft modded Pro Action replay cartridge for the Saturn. Taped the disc closer to pseudo disc swap. Other than that, I have everdrive cartridges for the Genesis and N64.

lol. Guns have their uses but also their flaws. The fact that you haven't run into a problem just show's how little work you've done. You should use the right tool for the right job. And the tool who can't manage to use wick isn't the tool you want to me taking advice from.

That's 70 bucks I can spend getting my asshole licked at the massage parlor.

>>6127408
I think there is a really important distinction being made here.

There are men who modify their video game consoles for optimum gaming experiences on origina hardware. And then there are men who would rather pay $70 to have their assholes licked.

At some point, you have to ask yourself, what kind of man are you?

>>6127589
I think I'll just stick to emulation.

>>6128456
The dithering being as sharp as it is is a testament to the cleanliness of the image. The good news is there's a patcher for the games to remove said dithering.

>>6128452
Damn that's good work. Never thought of using kimtech wipes to clean up. Have a good source for those.

what are the popular mods for the Genesis 1 lately? The RGB mod, triple threat? Is the mega amp a thing for the Gen 1 also? I want to do more besides the svid, overclock and stereo mod.

>>6128458
ikr, I am curious what solvent he used for the wipes tho, def not iso ( i think)

>>6128449
I ain't the one sticking RGB shit all over my old N64

>>6128458
First time I hear about using them. Isn't gentry scrubbing with IPA not enough? are those wipes soaked with something?

>>6119007
I'm preparing to mod my pal snes with SuperCiC board. MD also, is this still the mod to go?
https://mdpal60.net/regionmod
PS2 i had from my friend has some ancient modchip. Bought Modbo for this but, since FMBC is a thing dunno if i should bother.
PS1 has some modchip installed, dunno if its even stealth.

>>6128580
ikr, i thought the same thing but thats what he says. ISO barely works with the flux I use which is practically the same flux that he is using. his result is so fucking clean it is hard to believe

>>6128580
Waiting for that board in the mail right now actually. Already have a freemcboot card and a network adapter ready.

>>6128580
Those SATA adapters are usually just fine, I don't really think there's much need for a modchip on PS2 unless you really wanna use the unreliable CD laser in your PS2 playing burned PS1 games until it dies.

>>6128901
Yeah but it still "needs" new laser (400C) and a fan (loud as fuck). Since I'm doing all this might as well install modbo while waiting for sata board. Still need to buy some kynar and hotair gun

>>6128580
>PS2 i had from my friend has some ancient modchip. Bought Modbo for this but, since FMBC is a thing dunno if i should bother.
well, with a modchip and PS1VModeNeg you can play ntsc-ps1-games on a pal-ps2 (ad vice versa) with the 100% correct output-frequency, just like with a us-ps2/ps1. 59.82Hz instead of ~59.4Hz. Some scalers/lcd-TVs may not like that slighty off-spec frequency.
on a ps1, you'd need to add a hardware-mod (DFO).

>>6128449
The only thing I wish is that we had fewer kiddos giving bad advice in repair threads. Or at least that they'd trip up so when someone sees a post they'd know you're the tard who can't use wick and just ignore it.

>>6129217
Thanks for reminding me about fucking clocks and crystals in PAL systems. Damn, we PALfags are really screwed if we want to mod vr consoles. No wonder people go emulation or fpga.
That DFO looks really cool and also works with MD, nice. I don't really care for ps1 on ps2. but good to know there is this PS1VModeNeg thingy. That ancient chip on ps2 can't even auto launch ps1 without fidgeting with power button at the right time

>>6129771
>That ancient chip on ps2 can't even auto launch ps1 without fidgeting with power button at the right time
might want to swap it for a modbo.
solder-points are mostly the same anyway.

>>6129771
>That DFO looks really cool and also works with MD, nice. I don't really care for ps1 on ps2.
and saturn, and any other system you can think of and you know the different clocks for.
just today news broke about a cd-i mod using it for switching between pal and ntsc:

>>6125909
And "based cringe yikes oof" isn't, right?

RGB mods done:
Atari 2600
NES
N64

NES also has Blinking Light Win mod.

All systems are now RGB enabled and hooked into a PVM-14L5 via an Otaku 6-port SCART switcher:
1. Atari 2600
2. Apple IIgs
3. NES
4. SNES
5. N64
6. VACANT

I am finding it difficult to choose which system to become the 6th hooked up to the switcher.
The options are: Sega Mega Drive, Nintendo Game Cube, Sony PS2, Sony PS3.

All currently connected systems have a flashcart or similar flash storage solution. Except the Atari 2600.

>>6133280
remove nes+snes, add a wii for nes/snes/md/gc, add ps2 for ps1+ps2 and add ps3 for ps1+ps3.
tada.

>>6133515
Wii was not a given option.
Try again.

Neither was emulation.
Try again.

Why go down the emulation route when most (soon to be all) of the real hardware systems have all published games via flashcarts?

>>6133280
How often do you honestly play 2600 games? I only feel the need to hook mine up occasionally, not often enough to justify taking up a spot on the switch. I don't have a IIGS, but I do have a C64 and a VIC-20, and the same applies for those. So personally I'd remove the 2600 and IIGS and replace them with the Mega Drive, GameCube, and PS2. The PS3 is shit, and is honestly better on an HDTV or high-res PC monitor.

>>6133642
>Why go down the emulation route
So you don't have to worry about switch boxes

>Mod your console?
I try and stick to soft mods, SD carts and ODE's if I can help it but I have done a few of the more challenging mods over the years. While I was doing a cap/fuse replacement I went ahead and did the internal VGA mod on my dreamcast which was fun and I chipped my PS2 just to avoid having my PSX hooked up as well

>buy KSGER form china because everybody and their mothers said its great

fuck this shit its the last time I'm buying chink electronics from overseas. guess gonna buy cheap Chinese 936AH soldering station tomorrow. At least I've done MD 1 switch mod today with fucking 8W USB soldering iron, like holly fuck it was bad experience, never again

I've been using a $30 Hakko Clone that I bought from harbor freight for almost five years now and it finally gave up the ghost a few months ago. I replaced it with a TS100 and I'm enjoying the upgrade so I'd say its hit or miss.

What's the best way to hook up a PC arcade stick to a DB-15 connector for my supergun?

Saturn has a Phoebe and a weaker power supply to make up for the lower power draw.
Dreamcast has a Noctua fan, a DCEMU, and a DCHDMI.
N64 has an Ultra HDMI.

>>6134453
I bet you replace capacitors too. Kill yourself.

They're shitposting because My Life In Gaming recommended replacing capacitors, and as you know a stopped clock is never, ever right, ever.

>>6134490
What the fuck are you talking about? If a clock is stopped, it can't ever be right.

>>6134471
>>6134485
t. jealous no-skill losers who can't into console mods

Replacing aged capacitors has been a thing since long before the youtube stars (who you're also only shitting on because you're jealous of their popularity, their motivation to create, their skills that you don't have, or a combo of all 3) recommended it.

>>6134323
>there's nothing wrong with paying $15 for a peanut
lmao

>>6119293
You shouldn't need a desolder pump or solder sucker for that, just some wick and flux. You're both retarded.

Since Region mod for MD went better than expected yesterday, I've decided to do superCIC board on SNES today. Everything went smoothly. Maybe that 24 pin leg gave me a little trouble but other than that everything went ok. Power on, and nothing. Gonna check this tomorrow. I regret that I didn't test if console works before modding. It was working month or two ago

>>6135601
>Everything went smoothly.

I'm extremely surprised you were able to do that decently on your first try. Great job if real.

Why

Im not sure if this is the place to start. My dumbass did the Genesis model 1 jailbar fix by cutting a trace on the mobo. The console works and all sound is perfect, but after about 20 minutes the graphics scramble up. Is there anything I can do?

It went bad. In the morning I checked the board and there was a joint in pin29 and 30 of the PPU-1. Pico fuse was also dead. I fixed the fuse and joint with solder paste and hot air. Everything looked good.
Bingo - There is power now but console go apeshit with soke and sparks from PPU-1. Sparks and smoke somewhere on pins 25-29. There is somehow connection on pin 25 and 27.
What should I do? Desolder pins 25-30 and apply new solder?
I'm mad because I fucked up.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. I guess all you can do now is clean the shit up and hope for the best. Odds are it's fucked if you're getting smoke and sparks.

How do you even get sparks with 5V anyway?

Ah yes, a true, RGB experience. tv was also doing weird REEEEEE. I shut it off before I fuck more things up. So RIP gentleman, gonna buy next snes next month maybe. Stay tuned.
By the way, what is the safest way to lift that fucking pin24? Hot air plus gently push up with exacto?

Jesus Fuck, I opened this thinking it was in some plastic bag.

letting a professional do it for you.

Just two switches on the back of my Mega Drive for for 50Hz/60Hz and US/JP.

Who else /still has all the screws/ here?

It's very difficult. If he's getting sparks he has real problems.

>>6137390
You should try to fix it. At this point the only good thing that could come of this is that you provide us more kek and cringe than vectrexlad.

Replacing capacitors is in a fucking electronics repair manual that explains exactly why you do it. What a fucking retard
