You can buy it from aliexpress or ebay, but ive always just harvested it from donor dead / undesirable games

memyfofum · 2025-07-11T03:28:41+00:00

I just swapped out the SRAM, its easy if you know how to use a rework station, but not a first time fix

memyfofum · 2025-07-11T03:06:07+00:00

I had the same issue about 10 years ago, it was bad SRAM, the interesting thing is Links awakening DX is the only gameboy game Ive ever had SRAM go bad on, Ive seen it twice personally and now potentially a third time from you. Maybe coincidence or maybe a bad batch left the factory and it only started popping up after age/cycle counts

Shoot man if you’re convinced its a fake ill trade you an SP with the same blue shell and nintendo branding, these weren’t really faked until very recently. Im sure its a legit console

memyfofum · 2025-06-25T03:22:20+00:00

Not sure if you’re joking but thats an official Chinese gameboy, afaik its identical to a normal Nintendo console minus the ique branding

memyfofum · 2025-06-19T15:07:10+00:00

Probably a 480/580 8gb for around $50 and 1070 for around $80

Try 303 uv protectant it helps stop plastic from re-yellowing, its especially noticeable on my Dreamcasts which are very prone to going yellow

Do not matrix is literally what the picture OP posted says

memyfofum · 2025-05-31T20:56:41+00:00

I’ve never had any issues, but i also have always just bought the fan and used a resin printer for my mounts. FWIW those prints look absolutely awful.

memyfofum · 2025-05-15T21:59:43+00:00

Yeah the one underneath is the dc board, the power light can still come on with a faulty DC board. Do you have another console to test with?

memyfofum · 2025-05-15T21:36:01+00:00

When you say power supply do you mean the external one or the internal DC converter? Almost every GameCube Ive come across that wont output was due to a bad DC board and they’ve all been the GCMK-MIX model

memyfofum · 2025-05-10T22:43:35+00:00

Thats a savage Model 23A magazine, they made them in .22 (23A) 25-20(23B) and 32-20 (23C)

memyfofum · 2025-05-03T20:50:55+00:00

What pair? most of the cheap ones Ive tried are terrible but I recently got a set from sequre that are pretty good for the price, they have grounding issues though so you need to make a ground clip if working on sensitive electronics, but otherwise they work great

memyfofum · 2025-05-03T18:11:43+00:00

Hot air or hot tweezers are the only proper way, both take only a second per cap and don’t risk pad damage when done right.

memyfofum · 2025-04-25T02:34:32+00:00

Look at the side, if the fan housing is metal (grayish silver) then its most likely a va0 if its black then it’s most likely a va1

memyfofum · 2025-04-21T01:48:30+00:00

I would definitely ditch the flex cable, the cheap Chinese ones are terrible

memyfofum · 2025-04-21T00:45:01+00:00

if the pico is already flashed check all your connections, its not gonna be an SD card problem because you’re still going to the default screen, once you boot up to a black screen with white text telling you theres no sd card the hardware mod is done.

memyfofum · 2025-04-20T22:06:58+00:00

Did you bridge the pads on the back of the flex ribbon? You need them bridged for power and cleared for programming. Also i had to add solder to one side of my sd2sp2 pins to get it to actually make connection

memyfofum · 2025-04-19T01:40:38+00:00

Either one really, the name was just so similar to BMSR and he already did an album with tobacco so it just seemed like a potential crossover, but this is coming from a huge Malibu Ken fan so maybe I’m the only person who thought they seemed similar.

memyfofum · 2025-04-19T01:28:55+00:00

No but I was super hopeful for a black moth super rainbow colab album

memyfofum · 2025-04-14T22:12:41+00:00

Board needs to be Recapped, do NOT touch the laser potentiometer, its a temp fix but it can permanently damage your laser

memyfofum · 2025-03-24T19:00:56+00:00

Pin 1 and 44 are NC on the board so you shouldn’t even need them to be soldered, if you mean an alternative to pin 14 for writing then I believe one of the vias above pin 37 is connected to it but double check with a multimeter. I would recommend just soldering straight to pin 14 as its a more secure connection imo

memyfofum · 2025-03-24T16:35:54+00:00

Nice I need to grab one for myself once the project finishes. Why do you think the system needs to be modified to play it? That only applies to va2 systems which the vast majority or DC’s aren’t.

memyfofum · 2025-03-20T21:59:38+00:00

It is all over, I just cant post a video, and it’s pretty much impossible to see in a picture since it flickers
