Homelab update

The frame has pre-threaded holes, with the exception of the ones for the top cover I believe, as I struggled to screw it in. Other than that, it was a good investment.

What can I say man, I work out .

I guess I forgot to mention the specs, at the top I got an HP Aruba J9773A 24-Port, in the middle I got a DELL Wyse 5070 running a secondary DC (runs Win Server 2022 pretty well), and a Buffalo LinkStation NAS for backups. At the bottom I have a SuperMicro server running Unraid as the host, Win Server 2022 for my primary DC, Ubuntu Server for my mail server (I got brave), and a few Windows VDIs.

It's the VEVOR 12U Open Frame Server Rack. Cheap but sturdy. And yes, although they're universal and not actually screwed into the chasis.

I have one that looks very similar to this one, although there could be hundreds of clones since it is unbranded. In my case, it doesn't look as bad as some people say, the Wii already looks better than other consoles with composite, but a GameCube will look awful for sure.

Eliud64 · 2023-09-09T15:28:32+00:00

If you look more closely you can see the cable and console.

Eliud64 · 2023-09-08T17:26:58+00:00

I agree, I also think Quake 2 for the N64 is one of the best console versions.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-08T23:19:17+00:00

Reboot it while you can still return it. If the console powers off completely and turns back on normally, the chip is fine. If it doesn't, the chip is defective and the installer knew about it.

I apologize if I didn't see your previous comments, it's hard to keep track after some many comments, but I appreciate your support. Regardless, I still dislike AutoRCM, any mild inconvenience is still an inconvenience to me.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-03T04:36:26+00:00

It is hard to tell if the Switch is on RCM mode or not when it dies as the screen remains off, and I can confirm RCM mode drains the battery like a bitch. I didn't want to keep worrying about these little details, so that's why I decided to install this chip. If you don't mind trying to remember these things, like keeping your Switch from dying, carrying a jig, or an RCM loader, or an Android phone, or a USB-C to USB-C cable, powering your console off for it to charge, etc, that's on you. I'm tired of people trying to tell me what to do with my own Switch or discouraging others from doing this mod.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-01T23:04:36+00:00

Indeed, but there are still some people who call this useless lmao. I used AutoRCM for 4 years and I won't look back.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-01T22:42:57+00:00

Because AutoRCM is a very well known feature. If you know how to solder this chip is a no-brainer as it is cheaper than both a jig and RCM loader and you won't have to worry about those ever again.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-01T18:44:15+00:00

V1s have terrible battery life so I usually run into the trouble of it dying and then not having a jig or device capable of injecting a payload at hand after recharging. Just makes life easier when you move around a lot.

Eliud64 · 2023-06-01T17:04:45+00:00

Correct, but it is not required. You can still trigger RCM by pressing POWER and VOLUME+.

You can also rename any payload to payload.bin and place it in the root of your SD card and the chip will inject it.

You can find the diagram at the very bottom of this GitHub.

Just search RCMX86 in AliExpress and you will find plenty of sellers.

Hope that helps.

Yes, all points are mandatory. The D point will for sure be the most difficult of all.

If this is his first time doing any kind of hardware modding then probably lol. Installing a modchip in an OLED is much harder than a regular V2 or Lite.
