This is going to destroy the modding community. Not only are devs completely screwed now, but individual modders are too. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

She wanted to join in the morning Zoom call

I made a Sega Neptune 😁 #retrogaming #sega #32x

Picked these up the other day. In fantastic condition.

Finally got around to doing an RGB bypass on my model 1 Sega Master System. Looks good on the CRT. Need to test on the Retrotink. #sega #consolemodding

Latest GBA mod. Funnyplaying motherboard and laminated IPS screen. Went with a smoke and yellow theme this time

I will always think of Gene Hackman as Coach Norman Dale. Sad to hear of his passing.

This team is so fun this year #cavs

Post an image you can hear

A couple recent pickups. The Famicom 3D system only had about 8-10 games that’s were compatible. This is the much rarer Sharp branded system (to pair with the Twin Fami of course) #retrogaming #Famicom

Saved an OG Xbox. First, no power. Fixed with recap. Had a hard drive error, so I installed a Modchip. Got it to boot, but would shut off after a minute or so. Found trace rot. Bypassed the bad traces, and we’re up and running!

Just got Arthrimus’s SVS today! Just need that BNC output module (which should be released soon)

Saved another Gameboy DMG thanks to N64 Freak’s excellent motherboard repro. Some cheap components, a little chip transplant, and we’re up and running. Going to do a backlight mod on this (which is a pain, but love the look) #retrogaming #gameboy

New project arrived. Learned a lot last time I fixed one of these. Should be less painful this time. Love these Duos. #retrogaming #pcengine

Started getting into CRT modding. This 13 in Sony only had Composite/RF, but by the end it will have RGB, YPbPr, and S-Video. Modding it so I can use the TV inputs to switch instead of a bunch of physical switches. #retrogaming #crt

Another bad clock capacitor on the OG Xbox (plus a bad CPU cap). If you have an OG Xbox, and it isn’t a v1.6 board, get that clock cap replaced!

Navy Wins! #singsecond

Pick Six!!! #irish

15-0! #cavs

Sonic CD on the PVM 1442Q. Genesis system has been modified with a Quadruple Bypass for S-Video. Waiting for some shielded speakers to play games with RGB (this model PVM doesn’t do audio with RGB) #crt #sega #retrogaming

Picked this beauty up today for a great price. Need to adjust the geometry a bit, but the tube works great.

Nintendo Wii AVE HDMI install. Need some decent magnification for this one. Testing tomorrow before buttoning back up.

hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!!

The Rubio pick is looking sane now in hindsight. I stand by my original assertion.

This is truly going to be the dumbest Cabinet of all time. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/11/u...

Some pretty awesome mod boards from Zaxour. Trying to tweak every bit of perfection from my Genesis. #retrogaming #sega
