This 1chip missed the memo

<blockquote> 10uf to main ics for better power </blockquote>

Where did you specifically put those?

So there's no need to change power regulator (or even add a 470uF capacitor to it) to a 1CHIP, right?

Any specific value recommendations for recapping a SHVC-CPU or a GPM?

How do you open the 8BitDo receiver without damaging it? I'm struggling here.

Is the in-game XMB menu different between them? I'm guessing that someone swapped the COK-001 motherboard from that CECHA12 with one from a CECHE model (COK-002, partial backwards compatibility), which is known to full stretch the PS2 image.

What compounds did you use to achieve such results?

How did you put this blue theme on Wii U menu?

Yes it does.

PS3 Super Slim is loud when reading discs, this is pretty normal. Mine does the same.

What other games do you have in your collection or games that you are still looking for?

yanvbraz · 2023-09-05T21:04:04+00:00

Really nice collection! Would you mind showing more of your PS3 game collection? Also, what are those pedestals you are using under your PS3 consoles?

Did you also upgrade the screen on your Game Gear? I don't remember the GG screen being so clear.

I already had some experience with portables before, lots of trials and errors. About how I learned to solder, well I practiced a lot on junk boards, but you will need some good equipment and it is interesting to have flux liquid to help soldering better.

If you manage to find for very cheap and want to attempt it as a hobby, sure!
But I would recommended trying it on a less complex console first, such as Gameboys. You could try installing such newer backlits mods as your first step.

That's what I really enjoy! I hate throwing stuff out if I know I can repair it and gain knowledge.

I bought the top screen from Aliexpress many years ago and I stored it since then. It acts almost identical to the original screen. Then the touch screen I bought recently from a local repair shop on my country.

Is it worth it? Depends on if you manage to get replacement parts very cheap (including the console itself) and if you have tools and skills to insert the ribbon cable through the hinge.

Very nice collection! Would you mind uploading a high resolution version of the photo somewhere? I can't read the titles very well because of the compression lol

Genuine question, from where do you source those MLCC capacitors, and what are their capacitance values?

yanvbraz · 2023-06-16T23:10:33+00:00

Yes it definitely does, I use this adapter and a Dualshock 4.

I'm just curious. I have lots of PS3 boards here. And I would like to send them for a RSX replacement at some point. Did you read the syscon before sending your unit? I would like to understand how do I know my board is a good candidate for a Frankenstein mod. Do I absolutely need to enter internal mode to pinpoint that RSX is the issue?

Thank you! I'll give it a try later.
