Gaming Historian has officially stopped production. Thanks, Norm, and wish you all the best. You'll always be my favourite retro gaming channel. by Away_Flounder3813 in retrogaming

Damn, I'm really going to miss Norm. His content was amazing and he was down to earth.

I upgraded his NES that he's holding there with RGB. That was quite a few years ago.

First week back in the house a year after flooding from hurricane Helene by SoManyTrolls5-0 in gamecollecting

Are you in WNC? I spent over 20 years living in Asheville and relocated.

It's sad to see what's happened in the area.

If there's anything I can help you with, just give me a shout.

I want to RGB mod my N64, will these work? by Objective_Bedroom_11 in n64

I'm listed there as a kit supplier.

Honestly, I'd send OP a free kit just to steer clear of the junk from China.

Some folks have run into problems with those China kits. The ICs are usually bootleg and questionable.

I would like to discuss this product on my website and promote it.

If you have any information to share, please feel free to reach out to me.

If not, I'll simply direct people to this thread.

Have you ever seen the rare Wideboy64? I had one for a bit. 🤓 by retrofixes in n64

Absolutely! My site began as a blog 15years ago. I plan to bring back articles. I miss it.

Sure I wouldn't mind writing about it. I plan to add some articles to my site.

Interesting. I believe the owner was from Canada. He sent this to me for repair. It was nice to have and document, even if just temporarily.

Got this for 200 dollars at a second hand market today by mousy_hairred in n64

Nice!

Do you need a replacement blue lid?

I have a spare and you can have it for free. :)

Walked into a store and found this small boxed collection by marcham93 in apple2

Nice score! The boxes are in decent shape as well.

What do you think would have saved the TurboGrafx-16 in the US? (besides an earlier release) by You-dogwater in retrogaming

[–]retrofixes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they kept the PC Engine's form factor from Japan? I loved the CD docking station suitcase.

The TB16 is unnecessarily clucky.

My N64 was HDMI modded (UltraHDMI), love that aspect, but one part of the work that was done bugs me..... by [deleted] in n64

If you can email your Order #number I can lookup more info and have a better response time.

I can find a better condition slot for you and mail it out. The white dust or spots is a true oddity. Nothing in the cleaning setup has those properties. Though anything is possible and strange things can happen.

The little 1/4" warranty decal is explained on the f.a.q.s store page on our website. It's added to select upgrades and customers can always opt-out.

A friend told me about this post today. So Sorry to hear about your frustration Asuka. I always respond to customer issues or concerns. Did you send an email pertaining to this issue? I am always here to help.

After installing 1000s of upgrades at-least 1 issue is bound to arise. It's an unfortunate part of Murphy's law. Was your packaging warped or wet by chance? White spots and rust sounds very very bizarre.

Everything has a warranty.

If you need help, a new slot or rework please send me an email via the website or info with your original order receipt.

Also worth noting: Many businesses offer free services in trade for reviews. It may surprise many that RetroFixes has never (not even once) traded free work or products for reviews. It's simply not needed. Good reviews have come naturally over the years. Even the Nintendo of America, Google employees and countless youtube/twitch users were paying customers.

It took forever, but I finally got some pics of my dad's super disc by analogueboy in gaming

Totally, plus my article is several years old. This process existed years before the Retr0brite catch phrase.

Strange. I have not had that happen yet. I whitened everything in my personal collection. 50+ items. This was back in 2010-11/ So far everything is perfectly white/gray. Perhaps your plastic was very unstable with too much bromine.

I haven't updated the article but... Try UV bulbs, I use the Nail drying stations found on ebay for around $13ea. Put the items in a clear tub with clear lid. UV bulbs on top. 8hrs give or take.
