    PS1/2 HDLBATCH 1.1 Update (100MB/s - 150MB/s PS2 HDD batch installer using HDL DUMP)

    Hi, thank you for writing up this tool @rs1n! I added my own feature to the batch script, and I wanted to share it with you. It's an option to delete the source files on transfer completion. So far, it's been working for me without issues. Not sure who else would like this feature, but if you...

    What made the original Game Boy's screen green?

    I recently played around with the different parts of the DMG-01 LCD, and it got me really curious where the green tint comes from. I used to assume that it came from the reflective backing, but doesn't seem to be the case based on what I've seen from the reflector. I also noticed when trying...

    Hardware [SOLVED] Fixing GBA power switch with missing metal from lever/arm

    This isn't me asking for help since I already solved this. But since I never found any other thread online with a similar issue, I want to share my journey in case anyone else needs it. Around last month while I was cleaning the inside of the my GBA's power switch, the metal piece that's...

    Hardware Stereo mod

    I finally got regular member privileges! :lol: Anyways, here's the link to the mod I was talking about. This thread here also is where people went into the mechanics of wiring a shutdown for the amp boards. It seems there's no way to actually shutdown the boards when headphone are plugged in...

    Hardware [Question] AGS-101 Ribbon Cable Adaptor with an IPS screen?

    Are you sure the screen you got was IPS? Because those kits usually come with their own ribbon cable. There's a tiny little ribbon connecter that connects to a larger flex PCB/ribbon cable with a bunch of chips and circuitry on it (to convert the GBA video signal into something the modern...

    Beta Ocarina of Time assets found on F-Zero X development cart, includes early versions of some maps

    I know why they don't, but it would really neat if Nintendo shared more development details and assets years down the line so people can learn from their process. They don't even need to share the files themselves. That GDC 2017 talk for Zelda: BotW Nintendo did shortly after the game came out...

    Homebrew All official Nintendo games not playable on Wii U

    I've been considering picking up a Wii U for a while now since I lost my Wii in a move many years ago but still have all my Wii and Gamecube discs collecting dust. This post is pushing me even more on the edge :D How does the Wii U fare with external USB accessories like the instruments for...

    Hardware Stereo mod

    It's been done before. Can't post the link to it cuz I'm still a new member, but I can come back to post it lol. The guy used Nintendo Switch speakers and the PAM8403 stereo amp board. Looks like he didn't wire a shutdown for the amp though so the speaker would still run with headphones plugged...
