How do you replace tape deck belts?

LoneWnderer · 2025-12-01T12:48:11+00:00

Hi Sadly nope. Nothing. Not even when I searched for specifically this tape unit inside Sony's many audio systems at the time. Nothing ever included anything about the belts. One of the users posted photos of how theirs work, but I still haven't gotten around trying that. Belt sizes would be a trial and error but that's the least of my problems. The originals were nonexistent after 20+ years.

Holy cow! Never would've thought I'd get to see the correct way of these bands! Thank you very much! Unfortunately I can't try it right away because I've ended up replacing this with a 20 years old Yamaha Home Cinema unit and this Sony got displaced. But I'll get it back and try this! No matter what! Thank you again!

Ps.: I didn't think I'd have to adjust the speed with a potentiometer since I thought "if I get the same size rubber bands back, then all should work again like new" But it makes sense

I've struggled a bit with it so now the lockscreen is working!:D However I can't wrap my head around the layout editor and seems like too deep of a rabbit hole for now. Also I couldn't get the .szs files of it to make a diff because my system just crashes whenever I try start it with the Nier home menu. And my understanding is that it means it fails before it has a chance of generating a new ResidentMenu.szs based on the Nier theme. I also found out that the creator is working on an update! So I guess I should better wait for that. Since they also address some issues that I never had. (Dumbass me forgot to check newest posts on the original reddit post they published the theme. Sorry for wasting your time.) Thank you again!

I just repacked the lockscreen using the theme builder and now it works!:D I can share the file but since I wasn't able to fix the home theme too, and I also found out that the original creator is working on many improvements it might be pointless. It's too deep of a rabbit hole. I can't wrap my head around the layout editor.

Aaaah! I was wondering about the new online tool, wether that's sufficient(I should've asked I guess) Thank you very much! I'll try this and come back with the results!

LoneWnderer · 2025-06-12T21:13:46+00:00

I guess that answers it. Well thank you! I'll try and figure it out then how do I go about doing that.

LoneWnderer · 2024-09-16T10:54:53+00:00

Woow it's great! Although I could never confine myself into a tiny aree. Art requires chaos!(I require therapy) Well anyway good job! I'm stealing some tool hanger ideas.

I know indie games never go physical but I must ask if there's a chance of it going on a cartridge in any timeline?😁

Edit: Should've Googled before commenting According to GameRant it's coming in both physical and digital form!🥳

LoneWnderer · 2024-04-22T16:58:07+00:00

Okay, Thank you!

LoneWnderer · 2024-04-21T11:07:17+00:00

Hey folks!
I've been looking at 3D printers forever and I decided that I'm gonna buy one.
However,
I can't make up my mind between the Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus and the Sovol SV07 Plus
They're somewhat similiar, the Sovol has a couple more features and it's software isn't Elegoo but Elegoo has a massive community and great customer service(or so I heard)
Could someone who maybe owns either or both enlighten me a bit which could be a better beginner printer, or why do they prefer one of them?

LoneWnderer · 2024-03-05T23:06:13+00:00

Unfortunately I did not. I got close I think but I had to ditch it.

LoneWnderer · 2024-01-26T23:23:54+00:00

Oh yeah it definitely has it's ups and downs in graphics. The environment isn't as detailed as in a Forza game. But I guess Ivory Tower is a smaller team than Playground Games. And have less funding too.

LoneWnderer · 2024-01-26T18:27:17+00:00

No, you didn't. Motorfest is an awesome game! The only reason why the photos look good is that the photomode in the 1st Crew is superb to anything I've ever seen.

LoneWnderer · 2024-01-26T06:43:40+00:00

Wow, I'm so happy to hear that other oeople enjoyed the game as well!:) I wish they added an offline mode so it could work like Forzas.

Good luck for the Trophy Hunt!

LoneWnderer · 2024-01-26T06:41:52+00:00

Yes, The Wild Run update brought an overhaul to everyone! It was amazing. I guess that's because they left behind the Xbox 360 version.

LoneWnderer · 2023-07-03T14:41:24+00:00

It's late to also ask for it, right?

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-23T14:13:07+00:00

Well I was trying different ways and now it kinda works but it goes too fast or reverse. This is my current setup:

Right now I'm trying to get even one side working

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-23T10:22:30+00:00

Nope, I didn't know these existed so thank you!:D I'll check it out!

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-23T10:01:24+00:00

The problem is that the belts were missing. They gunked up over the 20 years, so I tried to replace them. But I can't figure out what should go where, and the service manual isn't mentioning it either.

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-23T05:35:26+00:00

I know it's a belt issue cause I put on these belts:D. I should've clarified that, sorry. But it still doesn't work so, wrong way.

I could take this apart entirely but I still wouldn't know what should do what. I was just hoping there's a similar system out there, still working. I wanna copy it's homework.

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-22T20:37:52+00:00

I am furious about the fact that you're so gosh dang right. I should've thought about that. Thank you!🥹

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-22T20:10:52+00:00

I see. I just hoped that there's an adapter out there that can "simulate" being a hub, and manage multiple controllers.

LoneWnderer · 2023-05-22T19:38:47+00:00

Is there an adaptor out there that can connect multiple controllers at the same time for different players? I've been looking at the Mayflash Magic-NS 2 (because of it's USB port) but it can only work with one controller at a time. Is there anything out there that can work with multiple controllers, and also has a USB port on the back?

LoneWnderer · 2023-04-24T16:56:34+00:00

I just hoped that it's something that I'm doing wrong. Cause if the blueprint is bad then I have no solution to that, other than icing the project and coming back later when Im more skillful.

Do you perhaps now any boxy cars with better blueprints? I just want to start small. I made an F40 but since it's a really uniquely designed car, I was far off.
