and
@Voultar
QSB/Multiout. Has a nice blue LED. I'm still figuring out how to take good pictures (and get the dust to go away) But I think it turned out pretty well! My first ever NES mod that wasn't fixing someone else's bad soldering.

Last SNES of the batch. Looks great via the

Sorry about the livestream everyone. My Desoldering gun tip decided it was done with life. Got another one coming tomorrow, but in the mean time, I test fitted the shell from

and it looks so clean, especially with the new blue power led.

I'm the person who has these CRTs, wanted to give some background and additional info.
Both have component in
Both have been fully recapped/recalibrated for color and geometry.
The VCR and DVD both work on the 27in, and have been properly greased, and the lens calibrated.

As a cyber security professional, it is honestly just another IOT device that gives one more attack vector into your network. I'm 100% not a fan. I set up a vlan for those kinds of devices just to segregate them from everything else, but not everyone has the time to do that.

You can take 80 hours to put together a damn gunpla but not 10 minutes to unscrew some screws and wipe everything down really well? lmao.

So it’s not really soldering, but board design in cad software that gets me. I’d watch THE FUCK outta someone giving a good rundown on that and good board design.

100% this. It's the whole reason I learned how to repair CRTs. I miss that aesthetic with newer gaming. The RT4K does such an amazing job getting that look back too. I'm even considering selling some of my CRTs.

Horrible picture. But some more rescued SFCs/SNESs. Almost all of them needed a chip swap. Bad cpus or one of the PPUs. And even a bad wram. Next time I’m not doing parts consoles lmao.

I agree. I won't buy digital games usually. If it's the only option, I'll find ways around it, or I won't play. I damn sure won't pay for something I don't own.

I think that’s what debris meant. Half the price or less is a big selling point, but I do hate putting the Ali shells together lol. RFRs are a butter smooth process, and they’re meant to last. Dudes a damn artist with injection molding.

@Voultar
It's the cell processor and it's horrible handling of networking and other peripherals. If you have "media server connection" turned on, disabling it does tend to boost speeds pretty well. I need to run a pcap on my ps3 some day and see what weird crap it does.

I love those RGR cases. Been wanting to do a Gen with those shells for a long time. Probably go Gen 2 though as I think it looks the coolest lol.

Used to do a lot of custom vape mods when I vaped. 18650s are no joke, but you can do some neat stuff if you get enough of them hooked up to something.

You’ll get there man. It’s hard recognizing something about yourself that you want to change. I wish I could give you some answer or bit of wisdom, but I think we all go through something like that and there really isn’t any specific answer. If that makes any sense at all.

Honestly you're doing great man. There are always going to be assholes out there, users and abusers, and a lot of people don't know any better than to fall in to these traps, especially with something technical like these mods. I can only speak for myself, but I appreciate what…

Got some stuff coming in over the next week! And I’m going to livestream the cleaning, refurbishing and modding process. I’ll announce here when I’ll be able to go live. We’re looking at the following consoles:
3 x Neo Geo MVS with unknown issues
4 x PS1s
