I sat down this weekend for a bit of soldering. Launcher is ready, thank you EqUiNoX. Adapters are ready, thank you @ernegien.net. Flash drives are ready. We're just waiting on a few app updates for the payload. The memory unit and full sized payloads will be available independly of these drives.

After much bartering and some epic trades I have re-acquired the original Xbox Video Chat camera I disassembled and documented on stream in 2023. I'm happy to disassemble it again and document it further if any curious people have questions. Thank you @siktah.bsky.social @ogxboxgamer.bsky.social !

Last night an XCAT user with the serial 4103****1105 uploaded all remaining DLC for Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3. We got to check off 11 more DLC and 1 entire game off the missing list in one scan! Every scan makes a difference: consolemods.org/XCAT

Quick PSA with a reminder to unplug your 1.6 console if it's not in use. This is the power supply turned off for many hours in a cold room. Also cameo of a PicoPromSD by dtomcat.

It's another great day for Original Xbox data preservation. Between cheato, otacS, myself and our friend hardly in Japan, we picked up a dozen more original Xbox consoles to scan for lost content. If you would like to support our efforts gathering consoles to scan with XCAT please reach out!

Final adjustments on the Xbox front panel trace repair boards and a simple D0 board are made. Samples will be going out to a few people very soon. The trace fix board pairs use a very cheap off the shelf flex cable and I built the FFC footprint to fit as many different connectors as possible.

It always bothered me that my consolized Neo Geo MV-1AX was a hero in a half shell. No longer! I learned how to model for 3D printing and made the "other half" of the shell which uses the original feet screw holes. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6864008
