Just a nerd who repairs and rebuilds crazy stuff...restoring retro gaming gear and computers is my therapy!

Very sad day for retro gaming and YouTube. @pdqc1971 has unfortunately passed away. His documentaries were my absolute favorites, along with his off colored and often corney jokes. You will be missed good sir and ty for all you've done ❤️😭 youtube.com/@patmanqc-arca…


Finally got a Naomi! Made even better by the fact that it came with a Netboot setup! Now to get my tri sync monitors up and running so I can run it in Hi-res as it should be 😍

LET'S FUGGIN GOOOOO! Was finally able to bring home the Sega AstroCity cab today. Need to troubleshoot the monitor some more but I'm stoked to finally have it. Can't wait to finish it up and get to sit down and play.

Super stoked!! Big estate sale down here in the Houston area and a friend was able to grab me a system Ive been wanting for a looooong time. He even one up'd himself and found a Woz Edition. Power supply was missing but that's an easy fix ❤️❤️❤️

The Sony #PVM 8044Q got some much needed love a little while back. Swapped out the troublesome trimmer caps (cause B&W picture) and replaced the leaking power supply caps. Now she should be good to go for many more years to come...and yes the tally light is purple 😂

wow. this is a massive loss

In shocking news, ROMhacking.net is ceasing operation as we know it. This website has been the nexus for fan-translation and romhacking for many years, and is a huge loss.

Say it a bit louder for the people in the back!!! Ive been saying this for a looooooong time and refuse to use ceramic caps in place of electrolytic.

Someone actually did the work of derating ceramics for the game gear. This further cements that what R6/HHL are selling are woefully wrong - the only thing I would change is moving to tantalum/aluminum for values beyond 10uF, since properly sized/rated caps get prohibitively…



Another project I've been working on when time allows... Picked up this #Atari520STm a while back. Upgraded to TOS 1.04 from 1.0, and wired up this gotek to the floppy drive. Now to print a mount for the drive case and still waiting for the 4mb RAM to arrive. 😍

My friends, the SNES Edge-Enhancer is ready. I've built my final production sample prototype and the long wait has been well worth it. I've squeezed every pixel of performance I can out of the 2CHIP SNES' DAC. This is now a COMPLETE solution, outputting cleaned CVBS & S-Video.

Man it has been a looooooong time since I've mod chipped a Xbox360. RGH3 has me spoiled, but it was a ton of fun to knock out this RGH 2 on a Zephyr model 360. Need to tweak the timing for the glitch, but this unit has a new lease on life❤️

Had a small swap meet at a friend's place and snagged up this Atari 7800 and a #AtariMovieCart. So freaking cool to know that the Atari can actually do stuff like this. Cart is designed to run on the 2600
