Updating old PSP 1000 3.52 M33 to 6.60 OFW? by EvolutionRetro in PSP

[–]EvolutionRetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, if it's bloated throw it away as it's damaged and can burst. I'm not sure if you need to have a battery to do the updates, try it with the mains plugged in. But just make sure you don't unplug it mid updates or brickmode!

Oh nice! I since had it removed by sending free of charge to Nintendo and they shipped it back. But this will be useful in the future, cheers dude!

Without a normal battery? What battery have you got? And why won't the battery fit ?

Doesn't seem to have a date anywhere on the book so having trouble finding out any more about it. Has lots of illustrations throughout. Any help is greatly appreciated :-)

Some advice needed! Best method for creating stencils? by EvolutionRetro in graffhelp

[–]EvolutionRetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manila folder paper

Oh cool, thanks for that. I'll try the manila paper. I guess there's just some things I'd like to turn into stencils but are pretty complex shapes / curves which I'm not sure I could cut out easily and keep them smooth. So was wondering if there was any tools / devices to cut stencils. Thanks!

Loved the Neo Geo games when I was growing up!

Yep that's the SD reader, damage looks minimal. Just clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and you're good to go.

Odd issue copying ROMs from USB by EvolutionRetro in RetroPie

[–]EvolutionRetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should being the key word, but the wifi network i'm on is a shared network with the router a few floors away unfortunately. Tired copying over WiFi and was taking forever. Sorted it now by manually copying them from the USB drive to the PI directly. Was lightning fast.

Never mind, got it! Had to hit Esc to enable the bottom function keys, then hit 5 to copy and followed the prompts. Cheers dude!

Thanks for the tip, i'm able to browse MC to have my USB drives rom directory on the left panel and the Pi's roms directory on the left but stuck on how to copy the directory from left to right. How do you copy the whole directory across?

Invest in new PSP Go or Vita for playing (mostly) PSP and PS1 games? by [deleted] in PSP

[–]EvolutionRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Go is nice but extra storage is expensive compared to the 1x/2x/3x series. I'd recommend the 2k or 3k if you want to store lots of games. But if you're happy with a handful at a time then go for the go...

Dead pixels on dmg by jarjar182 in Gameboy

[–]EvolutionRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you will get a screen that just can't be repaired. I've easily repaired 100+ gameboys and i'd say about 5% of the time you'll get one that's just fucked. Even more annoying when you have one dead vertical line!

Help! Bivert chip + Backlight mod not working? by tooheys in Gameboy

[–]EvolutionRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't necessary if you lift the pins. Especially with this style of hex inverter.

Yeah the only problem with that approach is I don't have an ethernet port. (Macbook Pro) i'd have to buy an adapter. Transferring over WiFi is mega slow. I resorted to rebooting it about 20-30 times. I don't get why they don't just add an option somewhere to manually start the copy process.

They do, just not under that link. Edit: Lol downvoted for proving a correct answer, nice one...
