Well, it has been a while. Quick update. I'm going to work through the last video on the #nintendo64 repair project, but it will be ending on a sad note. Despite a new, genuine cart slot, it is still not loading most carts. I'll put it in its new shell but I'm not planning on investing more time or money repairing it. This #generativeai image will make up the title card for that video when I get around to posting it. #retrorepairs #retrogaming

It lives! It's now displaying composite video AND it's running off a single 12VDC supply instead of the whacko 15VAC/8VAC it was supplied with.

Well, this should be interesting....

A good friend of mine, Steven, was kind enough to get me a desoldering station after my last video. I’ve also found a replacement cart connector for the Nintendo 64. With the new gear I’m planning on setting up a new workbench that isn’t my main desk so I’m more inclined to do work. Hopefully I’ll have it ready this weekend and I can finally make progress on the N64 #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Here’s where things go wrong. My attempt at installing the RGB mod in my old Nintendo 64. https://youtu.be/z06qBGxiL0M #nintendo64 #nintendo #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Motivation has finally been found and I’m putting the final touches on the next episode. Sorry to anyone that follows for the massive delay in content. This episode took it right out of me just because the repair project had setbacks. Anyway. Expect a new episode to come out tomorrow morning. #n64repairs #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming #adhdcreator

Alright. RGB mod was not successful and I’ve not had 2 sec to deal with it. This weekend I’m gonna troubleshoot it one last time and then try and get a video on whether it was successful or failed. Not every video needs to be about success, right? Then I’ll pack my broken laptop up so it can be fixed again and I’ll see if I can get an old Dell dumpster dive up to standard to be an editing rig. #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #creatorproblems #contentcreator

Honestly, I’m struggling with my current video. It hasn’t gone well. Just, something simple has not worked. It’s an RGB Mod for N64. So those who do follow me and are wondering why I haven’t released a video, it’s because I’m not happy and not had the right headspace to get it over the line.

I will post in the next few days see if anyone can help out. It is likely either the TV or the cable.

Sorry all. #neurodiverse #contentcreator #retrorepairs #retrogaming

I hate soldering. This better work. #shakesfist #retrorepairs #nintendo64

Honestly, when I ordered this from AliExpress for around $40AUD I was expecting just some shell thrown together in a generic bag or, actually, I really didn’t know what to expect.

What I wasn’t expecting was extremely well packaged, protected and in a spiffy retail looking box. I’m impressed.

Since doing tech on my channel, I’ve had an overhead camera to get a view in on what I’m working on. I decided recently to change from an old Hard Drive camcorder to my old S21 Ultra. Well, that lasted 1 filming. Sure the S21 has a better camera but I hate it. It’s overly complex for my needs and I can’t see the screen. I’m going back to the camcorder, even if it is ancient. #contentcreator #retrorepairs #setups #videorecording

Parts! RGB mod and new GameCube style stick for the Nintendo 64. #retrorepairs #retrogaming

Here's the video of me tearing down my old childhood Nintendo 64. Haven't gotten back to assembling it as I'm keen to install an RGB mod now I know it is all working fine. Maybe even go with a translucent case. Let me know what you think, and suggest any mods you think I should go with. #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdubm7e3uqU
