Making a cap map before I do the re-cap. Make sure I have all the caps before I start. #retrorevival #retromodding #pcengine #PCエンジン

Forgot to take more photos while working, so he made these afterwards. Do you think he will notice this #psp is actually an homage to Mr.Driller? Have to order the DC jack and replace the umbilical cord that is now hanging out from the PSP. #retrogaming #retromodding
And in the end we got it all working (phew) in it's new jacket. A lot of frigging screws though. The #aliexpress shell was so so. Not recommended. Some parts just didn't fit and I had to cut and holes I needed to enlarge. Plastic also felt cheap. #psp #retromodding

Atari 7800 motherboard
Work in progress, adding a composite mod to my Atari 7800 I got from Christmas #retro #retromodding #atari7800
Last bit of wiring work for these new push buttons and we'll be up and running again with the upgraded control panel.
Little sad it came with -2 button slots but if it bothers me enough, I'll get it sorted.
Otherwise, so stoked to get this wrapped up for awhile.

This is what peak gaming looks like.
Shovel Knight Treasure Trove running on a MKII Midway Legacy cabinet.
Honestly a ton of fun to play Shovel Knight this way, plus Showdown will kick ass in this playstyle.

I was having some sync problems on the Twin #famicom with Tim's NESRGB mod again... Last time it turned out to be a loose cancel pin in the SCART head (which I found after checking everything else!). So opened her up again I did. #retrogaming #retromodding

Big tangent of a thread of #retromodding and Sony #Trinitron RGB modding hijinks and misadventures I've been on the past year, poured my heart out writing this so even though it's a bit unfocused, I'd love for ya to give it an eyeball or two.
SNES Jr RGB mod I installed earlier this year. Cheapie AliExpress board with laughably thin wires but the results are beautiful on my 20" Trinitron I rgb modded as well. This mod I did along with a full recap and voltage regulator swap, it thankfully went smoothly :D #retromodding #snes #trinitron

Screen, before and after (sloppily taken with a mobile phone in a dark room. Angles may differ a bit, so add lots of salt. #snes #sfc #retromodding #retrorevival
Finished recapping the 1CHIP. Next is to test and see if there is any improvement in the video signal over the old caps. Luckily I remembered (this time) to take some photos of the video output before removed Ng the old caps. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding
So happy to see this screen. Phew. Still working. Curiosity almost killed my 1CHIP. Got this a couple of years ago through FromJapan. The 2nd 1CHIP too, but that one was #junk and cost about 80USD. 80USD of spare parts now :(. Closing this thread. #snes #superfamicom #retrorevival #sfc #retromodding

Got the good one off and cleaned now too. Hopefully I didn't fry it, coz it got quite hot. #retrorevival #retromodding #snes #superfamicom #sfc
Low melt solder is your friend when removing a chip.... But if you intend to reuse the chip... The pain! The horror! When does the hurting stop?! Cleaning the low melt from the legs is a pain in the arse. #retrorevival #retromodding
For reference, these photos are from my working 1CHIP. Colors seem a bit off though, but that's for another time. When looking at the completely green and red screen the colors seem off. #snes #sfc #retrorevival #retromodding
Decided to go with this. I am using TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) jack instead of TRS, because this will also allow me to connect composite to it so it can also be used with a 3.5mm to AV RCA cable. #neogeo #snk #retromodding
Soldered the shielded audio cable to the headphone jack pins and routed it to the back via the top side. Previously I routed it bottom side, but due to the thickness of the cable it did not fit well. So this time I am routing it too side to the back. #snk #neogeo #retromodding #retrorevival
De decided not to touch the RGB, since they are already good as it is in the AES3-5. So now I will try to isolate CSync but also try to keep composite. Had to resort to hot glue though. #snk #neogeo #retromodding
So following RetroSix instructions, I put a 10K pot on one of the RGB input lines instead of the 6.8K resistor. It turned out to be Red, as the white screen turned cyan when the pot is at highest resistance. I adjusted the pot until the 0.70V stopped jumping around. #retromodding
Undid all the stuff to test so now everything is back to stock except that I have CSync wired directly to the DIN. Not to test using 10K pot on the input side of the RGB lines. #neogeo #retrorevival #retromodding
All good! Had 2 buttons swapped, they differ a little bit in size, so the one that was too big was stuck in pressed state once the shell was screwed on and that made it skip the title screen. Done! #atari #lynx #retrorevival #retromodding
Thought I'd quickly finish this project (by not attempting a rechargeable battery installation), by just putting it back together. But after it was done I noticed it almost went straight to the menu when I turn it on and it missed the iconic theme of California Games. #atari #lynx #retromodding
Finished my PC-Engine Duo project, only took 8 months. My beloved Duo which I got in the 90's. Re-capped, installed an RGB amp and an FRAM mod, didn't have to do anything for the drive/laser. #pcengine #retromodding #hudsonsoft
