This is something that has been on my mind for a very long time, but I haven't written anything about it until now.
Remember my SONY Digital-Audio-Tape deck? The truth is, that I almost only use as an Optical-Digital to analog audio converter. It's even more true ever since the tape mechanism...
Finally, a bit of a return to my older style of blog entries!
Last year, at the flea market, I saw a Wii U Gamepad for sale next to other game controllers and games. Of course, it immediately caught my attention, a Wii U Gamepad by itself is not something I ever see in a place like this.
I...
Hi,
It has been a long time since my last blog entry.
The truth is, that I started writing this blog entry almost half a year ago, in November of the previous year. But then I got sick, and didn't manage to return to it until now. Oh well.
This entry is mostly an update to my very big...
This is my personal blog, and this entry is pretty much entirely my personal feelings and opinions, so please keep that in mind when reading and commenting.
I feel that these days, the Game Boy is becoming my favourite video game system, even more so than the 3DS. And I mean the original...
A shorter blog entry this time.
Here on the forums of GBAtemp it's pretty much a tradition to speculate about the names of new, upcoming game systems, and then make fun of the official names, after the new gaming system is finally revealed.
"Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X? Seriously??"
"The...
By now some of you that are somewhat familiar with me may be wondering what project it is that I have been working on and complaining about for so many months. Probably more than half a year at this point. Just like the project, this blog entry is going to be a long one.
Of course I wasn't...
The UPS is now fully working with 16 batteries and a total nominal capacity of 28Ah at 48V. An absolute beast!
Please read the previous blog entry for context: https://gbatemp.net/blogs/ups-battery-and-climate-problems.19733/
I firstly got 4 fairly cheap brand-new batteries for the main unit...
It's been a while since I wrote a blog entry, I've wanted to write about multiple topics since the last entry but I've never had the time and motivation. It's been quite rough in the last months.
I was away from home for almost three weeks until just the end of last week, I've never left my...
Time for another blog entry. I've had very little time recently again, but now I found some time to write a new entry...
So, I've worked at a flea market selling electronics for a few months, and I've got some interesting stories from that time, since flea markets really have an atmosphere...
This entry might be a bit more interesting than the previous one. This time I won't be doing just a standard modchip install, but a mod of my own...
But well, let's start from the beginning. Recently (but before the PSone), I finally bought an imported Japanese Nintendo 64. I wanted one for a...
I'm back here again after quite a long time. There were some things in the last months that I could have probably written blog entries about, but those last months were quite troublesome for me, so I never found that bit of motivation to write anything in my blog, especially considering that...
Everyone has probably heard about Mario Kart 7 online's recent 1.2 update at this point. While the forums and others on the Internet might have gone crazy with comments like "Why Nintendo!!?", "Just let the 3DS die already", "The 3DS should already be forgotten about.", "Does anyone seriously...
The blog entries might be getting a bit repetitive at this point, as the two previous ones were also about o3DS repairs, but one coincidence led to another coincidence and I ended up with another black o3DS at my dumb little table, so I might as well once again document the repairs I did to it...
Hello, after the profile post I made recently, it's time to restore another 3DS again! This time it's a red original 3DS, Japanese region version:
The sticker on it might already give you a bit of a hint about one of the things that needs fixing, if you know a thing or two about 3DS systems...
About a week ago I noticed that my old 3DS started having some issues with the A button, it required a lot more force to register a press. I've had enough of it today, so I decided to take it apart once again to try doing something about it. Had some trouble getting some of the screws out...
In response to the previous blog, I thought it would be interesting to show my full collection of working DS and 3DS systems, and any history or special things associated with them. Only working systems, not the things from my parts bin.
-- Pink DS Lite --
Nothing special about this one, it's...
After a very long time of not messing with any broken DS or 3DS consoles, I found a good deal recently, and decided to buy another Old 2DS... It was sold with the description of not turning on (turns on for a few seconds and shuts off with popping sound in the speaker) after replacing the touch...
So, recently I got this thinkpad X60 laptop with the intention to install Libreboot and a GNU/Linux-libre distribution, because why not?
It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Still working after all those years, and it also came with the ultrabase docking station!
Even the internal hard drive is...
I just got this today!
[/SPOILER]
It's a Sony Digital Audio Tape recorder, I got it for for free from a friend who had it sitting unused for 20 years together with that tape inside of it.
At first when I plugged it in after 20 years, it had some issues and wouldn't play at all, but after...
