    Gaming Gameboy Advance SP Won't Charge

    To tack on, I have verified with a multimeter that the switch does work. In one direction legs 1-3 are common, in the other direction legs 2-4 are common. (2 and 3 soldered to the same trace) This board is a C/AGC-CPU-01 model and I noticed the audio ic getting warm. Is that normal? It pays...

    Gaming Gameboy Advance SP Won't Charge

    And I have opened it up, hence how I was able to measure component values. I don't see any corrosion anywhere. F1 and F2 are fuses for the battery and for the charger (from what I know). Both show 0 ohms so both are good. EM8 is an inductor on the backside (side with buttons) that people say has...

    Gaming Gameboy Advance SP Won't Charge

    Best looking system

    I kind of wish the Switch and PS4/5 menus were less left right scroll-y and more tiled tbh. I know they're aimed at kids but it's so clunky to use.

    Gaming GBA turns on briefly then gets stuck in boot-loop

    If this started happening after soldering you could look around on the board for any large solder balls or debris. What you could try is taking out all the components and laying the GBA board bare on your table, powering it on while holding the battery to your terminals. If it works there, you...

    Hacking Folders not visible on EZ Flash when created on a Mac

    You can get VirtualBox on your mac and download an image from Microsoft of Windows 7. Search for "Virtual Machines Microsoft Edge Developer" From here they have documentation on how to import it, use it, and make sure the temporary license key doesn't expire. Super useful. Once you boot it up...

    Best looking system

    Xbox360 has a timeless look. Although the jury's out on which menu system was better (original or new).

    Hardware Help with battery mod on game boys

    Not really true in this instance, the GBA does not pull nearly enough power for that to be a concern, and these are rated for 1A (accounting for untrusted ratings, let's say 500ma) still far more than enough to power a GBA.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
