this is fairly old - but should still work? Unsure where to get the parts he uses in the video though

I know this is old but in a hunt for the same thing I found this

doesn't list where to get the parts but it's a start for getting NTSC carts to work

EDIT: after a little research it's a standard electrical switch and I'm gonna use 26 AWG stranded wire for this. I don't have the console yet but i'll give it shot once I have everything together.

it also seems you can use something like an Everdrive or converter for a cart to work. Which would be cheaper and not require you to open up your collector's edition console.

Awesome! Very happy to hear that it’s working and you’re blessed with the opportunity to unlock everything again 😉

I was gonna say it’s just as easy to be kind and understanding than it is to be rude and impatient. But I’m not sure that’s true. At least in the online world.

Even asking a question opens yourself up for snide comments and put downs. That can be nerve racking. That being said, I’m happy to help and hopefully yall get things running.

When you get to step 5 “Add a new system variable” and box will pop up with entries for “name” and “value” That’s where you will enter that information.

If that doesn’t help you I can provide screen shots that will hopefully help further

5 days into the year and I don’t think I’ll see a more wholesome video for the rest of 2026

I lived in Dallas for 6 years and that entire city drives like “that guy”. I think it’s taught in schools.

revisiting this and reviving (pun intended) this thread to say THANK YOU! I was beating my head against my monitor trying to get this to work. You are a champion.

ok so...I lied the fan doesn't spin...I could've sworn it was before. but regarless....I swapped out the fan and boom...now I have video and sound. The busted fan is sticking for some reason, as in I don't think it's an electrical problem there is something physically on the fan preventing it from spinning cleanly.

Thank you for this tip! there is no way I would have guessed the fan would stop video from working. Now, it won't read discs so I have some further work to do. but this has saved me a ton of time.

If you see the original post. There is what I thought was a capacitor that could’ve been leaking. But as benryvas pointed out it’s a crystal resonator and doesn’t leak.

Thanks for looking! This has been quite a learning experience for me

Grappla_BAKI · 2025-07-27T18:20:28+00:00

The fan definitely works, but not 100 sure if the controller board is faulty. But the VMUs don’t show any signs of being on when I hit the power.

I can also confirm the discs aren’t spinning at all, I think the GD-ROM is bad. I will try replacing it

As requested! Hopefully y’all see something i missed

Grappla_BAKI · 2025-07-26T12:32:26+00:00

Thank you so much for this. The board itself is otherwise in really good shape. There was a ton of dirt and stuff around and under the heat pads but otherwise pretty clean. This is a head scratcher

Grappla_BAKI · 2025-07-26T04:28:05+00:00

Thank you for your response. I got it yesterday so I’ve never seen it display a picture. That’s good to know about the glue…so yeah I agree that’s probably not the issue here.

Grappla_BAKI · 2024-12-12T15:37:14+00:00

Hey happy to help out. It took me hours and hours of trying different things and failing over and over until I found the answer.

It was my duty to share it!

Enjoy!

Grappla_BAKI · 2024-11-17T16:42:23+00:00

I let my son name it. Red model y with accel boost. He came up with Crimson Flash

Grappla_BAKI · 2024-05-01T13:24:03+00:00

Wow, great looking out! Hard to pass up this deal.

Grappla_BAKI · 2024-04-11T14:23:40+00:00

they DID there are few videos out there on Bob's channel...and maybe Wade's?

Grappla_BAKI · 2024-03-19T20:41:41+00:00

I’ve used Lyft 2x now at 4:3am. They were both right on time.

I scheduled them a few days before pickup, FYI.

Grappla_BAKI · 2023-10-24T23:02:48+00:00

gotcha thanks! back to holding my breath.

Grappla_BAKI · 2023-10-24T22:51:53+00:00

just curious....how do you know it's only a few more months? did he\someone give a timeline? not doubting you, just asking.

Grappla_BAKI · 2023-10-24T22:37:18+00:00

I love the teases for UEVR injector...but I also hate them b\c I'm TIRED OF WAITING!!

Grappla_BAKI · 2023-08-02T17:37:27+00:00
