Also, the soldering job looks great! 👍🏻

Atomic April @rezinion.bsky.social · 8h

Congrats! It def is one of the more difficult mods. Some people struggle with lifting the pins or even lining up the Quick Solder Board. I find it so fun though! Some folks have shaky hands too haha

Ah I see, I got a Jasper too I would like to try and RGH 1.2 someday. Do you have to buy a separate chip for an RGH 1.2? Or is there a newer method similar to a Slim's Corona/Trinity RGH 3 mods where it's just a couple wires with a resistor?

Where does one order new thermal pads?

And do they come in a larger size that you cut to fit? Or is it packs that contain various common sizes?

I feel like the word "Psyop" could be used here as well.

Ahh that might be a way. I should give that a try.

A JBL Party box 310 (giant speaker) main button control board with tons and tons and tons and tons of zero Ohm resistors on it for some reason. I believe they are used for horizontal traces to cross over the vertical ones.

The flippy drive is fantastic! I have been using my Gamecube with Flippy Drive instead of Picoboot now. Still not sure how to load Gameboy Interface for the Gameboy Player from the Flippy Drive menu though. The stock Gameboy Player Disc just doesn't look nearly as good as Gameboy Interface.

I'm not entirely sure what a Matrix Glitch chip is, sounds like it is a variant of the RGH mod. Maybe for the phat Xbox 360's? Like RGH 1.2?

I have done several RGH3 mods on slims, and those are not too bad. I find them quite fun to do!

I have done both the NES RGB mod and a RGB mod for my N64, I found the N64 really easy. The NES one was fairly easy too, the hardest part is removing the PPU without damaging it. But it was not too bad :P

HDMI mods do look like a big pain, I game on a CRT or use an upscaler anyway.

Playing Ape Escape 3 and a monkey stole my net, captured me, and sent me back to the lab.

And I'm still not sure how I feel about that :x

It looks fantastic! I am getting mine done in December! :o

Atomic April @rezinion.bsky.social · 9d

Have you tried the game Megabonk by the way???

It is Vampire Survivors & Risk Of Rain 2 mixed together. SOOO good.

Great job! It's hard work! You're doing great!

Atomic April @rezinion.bsky.social · 9d

I was excited for it, and was gonna pick it up for my Switch 2 but after looking at reviews and gameplay... I was quite disappointed. So I will not be picking this one up.

For the world's biggest IP ever, you would think these games would be way more polished but sadly they are not :(

I love that mug omg.

I just did 4! It is a bit convoluted but easy once you understand it. I am fighting with finding good 80 wire IDE cables and finding good IDE to SATA adapters.

I have found it easiest (and fastest) to use Fat Explorer and drag and drop all your files that way, and cap replacements are recommended!

Atomic April @rezinion.bsky.social · 16d

Not sure what's really left at this point but more niche and some modern consoles.

I would like to maybe start making guides for Youtube or elsewhere but idk how entertaining I would be haha.

Atomic April @rezinion.bsky.social · 16d
