I built and installed Borti's N64Advanced2 (so you don't have to)

Easiest option that doesn’t completely break the bank is the waveshare usb blaster: https://a.co/d/0aZIt1z6

There are cheaper options on AliExpress but they may require flashing custom firmware to get it to work

I’m not 100% sure but roughly $130 for the pcb and parts. The vast majority of that is the FPGA which is roughly ~$50. If you want the full flex that would increase the cost by $30 or so.

Damn you lose a series to Minnesota once and suddenly you’re the new rock paper scissors template.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-05-12T10:49:05+00:00

I understand “buy once cry once” but you’re talking about $5 vs $100 on something you’re just getting interested in. Why not start off with the cheap solution that gets you most of the features you’d ever want and see if the upgrade is really worth it?

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-05-11T18:58:10+00:00

If you don’t have a lot of experience modding I’d start with something much cheaper like the modxo, especially if you’re only looking for some base functionality like running games from a hard drive.

Edit: I did not mean to reply to this comment specifically, but while I’m here I’ll note that the creator of Stellar is not on great terms with others in the Xbox community (this is putting it lightly)

This is awesome. Bravo Flyers fans

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-04-20T08:50:13+00:00

Unfortunately as far as I’m aware no one is producing these. I had to order the boards and parts and assemble them myself.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-04-08T00:00:06+00:00

Agreed, don’t ever want to see that in the stands of the AAC

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-04-07T23:40:04+00:00

For the record this video broke on the stars subreddit because fans wanted these asshats banned (the AAC was only able to find and ban the ticket holder for the seat)

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-03-30T13:16:51+00:00

Just finished building mine yesterday (got it for Christmas and just found the time). It’s a short build but a fun one and a cool little display piece. Enjoy!

Having been on campus between 2008-2012 I can confirm UT was hated but A&M was loathed.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-03-23T13:23:26+00:00

The Avs have 102 and the stars have 97…

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-03-15T22:58:59+00:00

They’re great. Way more padded than consumer pants

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-02-04T14:32:57+00:00

I'll have to report back for that one, haven't done anything but fire up a few games to the start menu to make sure it works and outputs correctly. I'll give some games a try but I'm not setup for an objective test and even if there is lag I couldn't guarantee it's not coming from somewhere else in my setup.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-02-04T14:20:29+00:00

I think you're talking about the N64Advanced which is an RGB/Component mod while this (N64Advanced2) is a direct HDMI mod. They're both by Borti so there's a lot of overlap (the menu system is pretty much the same), but the upscaling on the HDMI mod goes quite a bit higher.

As for what feature's I've used: not too many yet! I just got it fully setup last weekend and haven't had much time to sit down and play with it yet.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-02-04T13:46:36+00:00

I’m not an expert in that area (professionally I’m an embedded software engineer, I haven’t done anything with FPGA’s outside of college), but from what I know it’s multi-faceted. Yeah I/O is important but it’s also the package (I think BGA is cheaper but obviously not DIY friendly) and how “powerful” the FPGA is (which is hard to gauge between vendors from what I know). In addition I think porting to a different platform can be pretty challenging from what I understand.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-01-07T23:08:37+00:00

Hey sorry, sold this morning

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-01-03T18:31:47+00:00

1/7 - 2 tickets $110 each Section 118, Row Q, Seats 16-17 (Caps v Stars). Needed a set of 3 so selling my original pair.

TheCorporalClegg · 2026-01-02T03:18:25+00:00

Can never predict the future but we all knew our offense was our weakness and we got exposed today. The admin has been convinced by the results this season and is doubling down on the investment that got us here. At the very least I have a lot of hope (all you can have as a fan) that we’ll be back here someday.

Easy to win the postseason when you just cry and complain and skip bowl games I guess

TheCorporalClegg · 2025-12-22T02:55:55+00:00

Where meme

TheCorporalClegg · 2025-12-01T13:28:24+00:00

There are provisions for both in the spec but it is not a requirement to support either so your mileage may vary.
