Sorry for the delay, the computer restarted during upload and had to reup. Anyway, let's check out an eBay Zip drive pickup! Link in reply!

So apparently my PC decided to restart during the upload of my latest video. Re-uploding now...
Seeing discourse elsewhere: Yeah uh, can we NOT artificially inflate and drive up the value of vintage tech, please? Because we don't want to attract the Money People here. We really don't. I've seen that event horizon crossed in other places already and it effectively kills the hobby it happens to.

Hey! Here's a NES I bought in 2019 at a garage sale that started having graphical issues. What could it be?
I'm also trying out some A/B testing of the thumbnail and description. Link in reply!

Have I found suitable filament to print out #famicom red? With community favorite Paramount 3D Iron Red seemingly sold out for some time now, I wanted to try another brand and color to see if it measures up.

And yes, I also checked the SRAM, it's good too.
NES Rad Racer with missing graphics
NES original PPU, possibly bad.
Rad Racer working again!
Replaced PPU w/socket
So, NES with a bad PPU. Missing graphics on the car in Rad Racer (also Mario is missing half his body in Dr. Mario - not pictured.) Cleaning didn't work, cart connector ok.
Replaced with a clone (I know I know...) but it works again! And yes, socketed.

I have either a pocket or a color with a missing capacitor on the ribbon. Been looking to see if there was an alt button option but haven't found it yet. 🤷
My biggest issue with modded Game Boys is that I can almost never get the touch sensor to work. It might register touches a couple of times, then nothing.

Listen, if I have to start saying "Oh No!" as "Oh Nawr!", pronouncing "Sega" as "Seega", or calling it "Super Mayrio Bros." I'm ok with that.
It's neat to see the stuff the programmers didn't want you to find ;)

Great job! It has one hell of a ground plane...

They made a galaretka Easter lamb?
Thank you!
Is this the "Master Works" book Japan got, or something new?
Okay. 8am on a Tuesday. Let’s try this again. Yeah it was for Bluesky but I decided to strip most of that out of the description just in case YouTube was being like Facebook.

Anyway, I am up to no good again

Nothing like last minute, right? Here's my #MARCHintosh video contribution! Yes, it's about the MicroMac card I posted a few days ago. Video link in reply!

So funny story: found this timestamp on one of the cards.
