Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

The original issue turned out to be a faulty power supply. While I wait for those fuses to come in figured I would replace the board caps and add the GEM.

I guess I'm pretty fortunate, I was able to preorder the N64Digital in the first wave. Yeah the fact they can have a single board for multiple consoles should keep it in stock. I don't actually can't compare. I went straight from using a cheap hdmi adapter to learning to solder just so I could install the N64Digital. I can say it looks amazing and super clear. And the scan lines help games like Goldeneye (really helps the menu text be legible). If I had proper capture cards I would upload raw footage somewhere.
