[Magnetic Drive Door Holder for GoldStar 3DO] A magnetic drive door holder for GoldStar 3DO GDO-101M after removal of optical drive for ODE. It's a bit gimmicky but very satisfying when you use it😌 www.printables.com/model/1735610

Satisfaction😌

What. The. Heck. ROFL😂🤣🤡🤪

[Mounting Solution for USBTO3DO-FZ1 ODE] A simple mounting solution utilizing the metal chassis of the disc drive. Just remember to finish all the soldering before mounting!👀 Printables: www.printables.com/model/1734817

Trained eyes might be able to spot all the tiny details in this model - nothing is at a right angle thanks to injection moulding requirements, and if you don't nail them, the piece will become stuck or crooked when you try to slide it on.

[Drive Door Holder for Panasonic 3DO FZ-1] My version of the solution that actually works with precision and easy to print. Door will sit flush with console facade and have equal gaps on side and the top. Printables: www.printables.com/model/173479...

A few iterations in, I think I’m very close now. The ones on the right are from the internet. I’m pretty sure they didn’t get most of the nuances of this shell and that’s why the fitment was all wrong, plus printing is very hard without a raft. Now that’s all fixed😌

Had to model the whole are first before doing anything. But this is necessary work🫠

This idea was fine, but the accuracy was not great. I have to do it myself now🫠

It finally came together!🤡

I hope using a 4-pin fan cable as a USB extension is not a felony because I might just do that🤡

And it’s PCB day again - and not mine creation again🫠

SUCCESS, WORLD FIRST KONAMI PYTHON 1 GAME RUNNING ATTRACT MODE! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 Trips up some security when starting a game, but I'm so happy I got it to this point

Finally got the caps from DigiKey. Caps in the original dimensions is no longer available, so I had to improvise slightly to get the new one to fit nicely🤪

Woah my name is out there in the world! And no other than Japan!👀🥳😍

I am SORRY BUT WTF???👀

Finally got myself a Kinect after this many years👀 Can’t wait to play Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor with it!🤪 (Actually I can. From the stuff I heard that game can go F itself for an eternity🤡)

What can I do with this tube of solder paste that dried up like my inspiration?🤔🫠

Yep, I’m the perpetrator who bought 9 broken PGA/Socket 3/7 motherboards “for the cheap”🤡 Guess if you don’t have a job you can still buy work to keep yourself busy🤪

Fiddling with my first Walkman🫠

For some reason, if you add a stencil to your JLCPCB order, the shipping jumps up by $20 out of nowhere👀 Guess I'll just go with no stencil then🤔

Now that it has a video BIOS, more titles work. Still buggy, still fun.

What a lucky number!🤪

The time was summer of 2005. I noticed my Chinese ISP started resetting connections when pages contained certain keywords🤔 It was merely an annoyance to the others. But to me, it was a warning horn - it was time for me to leave before the iron curtain shuts everything down💀

Party sprinkles, MCGA SRAM edition. I’m not sure which is more surprising, that the build engine supports MCGA or that my Graphics Gremlin does (now). Off to a decent start.

And stupid me bought the wrong MCU - STM32H723VGT6 instead of STM32H750VBT6. It looks very similar but the features are very different. The binary outright did not work. Porting the code over results in bursting RAM. Had to order the correct one and wait more🫠

Today, I saw another blog post explaining why the PC-FX failed. Of course it's English, from somebody I've never heard of, and who clearly wasn't even in Japan during the system's lifetime. I'm sick of these stories which don't cite sources, state opinions as facts, and appear to be AI-written.

Finally decided to start digging into this project after 3 years🫠

New iPod 5th gen headphone jack arrived! Swapping was easy and now it’s fully working again😂

Finally an upgrade from the tiny loupe👀 No more swapping batteries😌

Trying to treat the transformer hum of these speakers. Added some thermal pads between the transformer casing and the metal plate, then added rubber grommet to the screws. The result? The frequency of the hum now has changed to a slightly less brassy one🤡

I might finally put this thing together and actually play with it this year🤔

Ok, I let my intrusive thoughts win🤡🤣🤣

Hopefully matching potentiometer acquired😌

Getting so close to 1 year and weird things have already started happening!🤪

Sad horse acquired!😅

Bought something very cute today. Hope it’s worth the money🤔

If one day I opened up a console/electronics repair service, it's probably because I've stuffed my house too full and can't buy stuff anymore, but feel extremely bored with nothing to fix or play with🫠

Yikes!🤪

I’m pretty much out of my mind buying this thing in a box🤪

Even more add-ons for my Ender 3 Pro🤪

Gutted an iPod nano 2 dock to use the innards for docking v this iPod 5 with a broken headphone jack while waiting for the replacement and possibly other upgrades😌

Tomorrow will be the day where I dig up all my Noctua boxes, categorize all those parts in them, and chuck the paper boxes forever. I have a Noctua box infestation in my house🤡

NetMD is so cool!👀

I brought this out the other day thinking about finishing the design with USB connection. But turns out someone else already did it and sell them, so I don’t have to😌 The output voltage is at 6V so it should be safe👀

The Japanese Chrono Trigger cartridge is still quite affordable so I grabbed one for myself😌

Needed a quick 8-pin Mini DIN extension. Dug up some boards from a previous project and hacked them together🤡 Infinite RGBS!🤪

Controller spa time😌

Son#2 and me can’t stop playing with this iPod while waiting for parts to repair/upgrade it, so I designed a rim to keep it together in a usable state while avoiding having to prying it open repeatedly🤡

Got this Logitech PS2 wireless controller since I saw people clawing it’s really good🤔 Of course it’s broken and won’t sync for the cheap🤡 Opening the receiver isn’t too hard at all😌
