Today, I've been looking at fantastically designed modern PSU for the Original Xbox designed by Team Resurgent! Type C, PD compliant! I'll have more details soon!

My barber Jerry is such a fantastic guy. It's time for my comeback! Looking forward to tomorrow and saying goodbye to yesterday, leaving the past where it belongs.

Doing my best even when my best doesn't feel good enough. Imposter syndrome is a real thing.

Friends, my host is having trouble with the bandwidth. If you get an error. Just wait a few minutes and try again. I promise, it'll come back up!

The DIY Edge-Enhancer is now available! Grab it @ voultar.com

Looks phenomenal. Thanks brotha!

Thank you, friend! And thanks to all of you who reach out with just a positive word or well wishes. It makes all the difference and I really appreciate your kindness.

During your darkest times and your darkest hour, remember the people who were there for you and then forget the people who weren't.

The rumors about my death are greatly exaggerated. I want to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart. I'll be back in the office in about 7 days! Inventory including DIY Edge-Enhancers will be available for purchase!! I'm poor right now, so please buy one! 😂😂

My friends, I have responded to every single remaining service install request. That includes N64, NES, SNES and of course the SNES Edge-Enhancer. My internet has been going in and out today which has made it incredibly frustrating to follow-up on E-mails, please bare with me.

Great work! So glad to be able to help in whatever small way I was able to. Thanks for sharing!

My friends! TONIGHT @ 10PM EST!! Come talk to me!

My friends, please heed this warning. Before purchasing anything from Limited Run Scams, ask them if they're going to be burning this Sega CD "release" onto CD-R like they did with their recent 3DO releases, ripping people off. Do not get scammed by this grifting company.

My friends! I had hoped to restock by the end of January, but it's looking I'll have the entire inventory (including DIY edge-enhancers) refreshed my (this month) February. The newly imposed tariff has changed everything. Please support small businesses! We are trying!

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I'm glad your repair went well and that you've got some new skills!

$50 for a cut up, hacked up Wii motherboard just so you can print a 3D printed case to stuff it into along with a few batteries and an LCD screen.. Doing a one off is one thing, but making this a business to sell these in volume, I'll never understand. What do you all think?

New stream schedule! Finishing up Earthworm Jim on Monday and Wednesday, then playing The Powerpuff Girls trilogy on Game Boy Color for Jankuary. 🩷🩵💚

My friends, please repost this repair tip! I see many people servicing Wii systems and they absolutely wreck both the screw covers and bumpers and it makes me cringe. 100C heat for about 8 seconds will make short work of the adhesive, allowing you to re-use them! Enjoy!

My friends, do you want to know what the #1 killer to Wii hardware is? Dust! Clean those vents and you, too can save a console!

My friends, the blurriness of the 2CHIP SNES varies from system to system. The DAC inside PPU2 can have a very wide swing. Just know that my Edge-Enhancer will resolve these issues REGARDLESS of how bad! No special tricks or sampling. Just the hardware doing its job as designed.

I maintain that @electronshep.bsky.social's ElectronAVE HDMI kit for the Wii is the absolute best Wii HDMI modification. It's both affordable and very intelligently designed to work in all Wii consoles (excluding the shitty Wii Family Edition). This baby will be for sale, soon!

This one's mine! Voultar is the best in the business.

Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate the very kind comments from all of you. It means a lot to me.

My friends, please join me on an 60 second NES restoration journey! This customer sent me a top-loading NES that had much sentimental value to them. I used all of my special tricks to install the NESRGB kit. But I also used some new tricks to revive this dirty, yellowed unit! Happy Monday, PPL!

Stream schedule for this week! We’re throwing a pizza party in the Discord before community night on Saturday and we’ll hold a vote for the best pizza on stream.

My friends, I want to leave you with a before and after comparison of the video output coming from an RGB revised 2CHIP SNES that I just serviced. This is using GENERIC Tink settings -- No optimized sampling, no brightness/gain fixes. I want you to see what my hardware really does all on its own!

Lots of my time is spent reworking SNES hardware that's been repaired in the past. There is plenty of caramelized flux and debris on this system that I must remove before recapping! Unspent flux typically isn't an issue unless it's organic! A water-based flux MUST be cleaned and removed!

I charge a flat-rate to install the SNES Edge-Enhancer and recap the system, why? The answer is in these pictures. Most of the units sent to me require extensive repair from rot. If your SNES is taking a little longer, bear with me! I promise, I'm giving your SNES the BEST care, possible!

My friends, I'm shoveling myself out of the driveway. Stay safe and warm!

The ice is slippery! Be careful out there and stay warm, friends!

This is a very cool and useful little DIY project!

My uncle had one of these in a Chevy Astro van in the 1980s. I've always wondered what/where it came from!

My friends, I want to wish all of you a happy New Year! I hope that 2025 holds promising things for all of you and your loved ones. Let's make it count!

Happy NYE! 1. RT4KCE: Lower cost 4K that still retains the core inputs, profiles and features - Feb/Mar. 2. Dongles: A family of high quality console to HD15 adapters and 75 ohm cables. 3. MINIs: Returns week of 1/5 retrotink.com/post/holiday... Side by side photo by @austinbroth.bsky.social

Actually, no! This NES capture came from the super cheap GBS-C that I built in one of my older Youtube features! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AVX...

"WHAT THE...??! CHEAP!! CHEAP! THE CHEAPEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS GAME!!" - Voultar 2024 Goodnight my friends!

My friends, Over the past couple of months, I have been perfecting a sunless "RetroBrite" procedure that's heavily based on @aergan.com's vapor method. I want to be confident in the process, with zero marbling or streaking. This customer was so happy that his SNES is now all the same color!

I almost threw up on cam talking about the N64. . .

My friends, I'm doing my best to catch up with shipping! Currently, I'm repairing an SNES for a customer who had a modder from eBay recap, but they totally screwed it. Yes, these things hold me up, but your hardware matters to me. I want you to have the best!

MY FRIENDS, please share this inventory update!! SNESRGB, N64RGB, Super Stackers and Wii-U NAND-AIDS have ALL been restocked on my store as of 12/6/2024. JUST in time for Christmas! Thank you so much for the support! voultar.com

My friends.. No exaggeration, but I truly believe that the SVS by Arthrimus is the most important piece of retro gaming tech. It's a dream! I've just replaced a WMD with this discrete, wall mountable video auto switcher, and it fucking auto loads all of my Tink profiles...

You will get there! Keep practicing, and you'll be better than me in no time!

Love electronics? Want to learn about console modding and soldering techniques? Come with me and we'll go on a beautiful journey together!

Looks FANTASTIC. And great job installing the SNES Edge-Enhancer!

Lookin' good, Mike! The SNES Edge-Enhancer works with ALL SNES systems (excluding 1CHIPs)!

Thank you very much. I'm glad you were able to revive your Wii-U with the NAND-AID!

When I get DMs like this, they make my heart smile. Knowing that I've truly helped you all do something positive is an amazing feeling. It's been an honor contributing to this community and to each and every one of you, giving back. It means a lot to me, and I thank you all.

Hey! This month, I'm thinking about holding a "new modders" workshop where anyone wanting to learn about electronics or how to solder can participate! I'll be on a livestream, and you can ask me to demonstrate certain situations or techniques! What do you all think about that?

My friends! I'm back in the office! I'm feeling great and I want to thank all of you for the well wishes and positive vibes. I'm going to restock the store and finish up the current queue of SNES systems. Thanks again to everyone who've been patient! Let's have a good week!

OK, everyone! Update! Good news is I'll be back in fully swing, Monday! Better news is all pending SNES systems that has been sent to me will be finished by no later than Friday and I'll then be ready to accept the next batch! Thank you my friends!
