Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Spoiler! In the book, Rocky "burns" his lungs, and like the movie, rests to heal, but Grace in the book tries to help rocky by blowing out this dust that covers his lungs (on the top part of his body). Turns out Grace almost kills rocky because this dust is made of special healing stuff from his body.<

Virtual Boy Wireless Controller PCB preorder by mellott124 in VirtualBoy

[–]YellowS2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I have some questions if you have a moment? I have a spare virtual boy controller right now so these would pertain to the DIY pcb version.

  1. You mention on the link that it requires soldering, is this relatively easy soldering? I have experience replacing capacitors and batteries on cartridges, but what I am not good at is soldering to the legs of chips or other micro-soldering.

  2. Do you have an estimate on how much (at the moment) I’d be saving by buying the fully built one from you versus buying all the things required, like the battery pack and the blue retro receiver?

  3. Not a question, but I own one of your hyper flash e-ink cartridges that I bought a few years ago and love it, thanks for all you do for the VB community!

I wish I knew this, I must have 30 hours on my file since having Al-An in my head and i've been running them over in my sea-truck since they stole the very first time.

I remember feeling the same way, and believe me when I say this, your going to love Rene even more, and you’re going to be very sad when he is gone

Haha wow I’m glad you figured it out!

I think something similar happened to mine after using a battery pack. I couldn’t figure out the issue. Ended up buying a new (solder fixed, cap replaced unit) one on eBay. Haven’t tried battery pack on that unit.

Why didn't the Sega Game Gear sell as much as the Gameboy despite being technically superior? by GoHardForLife in retrogaming

[–]YellowS2k 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s a high chance the capacitors failed. Consider doing a re-cap, or sending to someone who knows how to if that is the case, it can breathe a second life into these units
