    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    I just did this to mine as a weekend project. I still need to replace the Pram Battery as now every time I turn on the PS3 my clock is not set. So a little history, My PS3 is a "Launch" unit, has the four USB ports and card readers. I've never touched the paste until this past weekend. When I...

    OG Xbox - What can be done if the DVD drive & HDD are broken?

    Since you have a Xbox with no DVD Drive & No Hard Drive your options are limited without buying additional stuff to get the console back up and running. A Modchip would work, I've also used a Raspberry PI3 to extract the EEProm information off of a Xbox motherboard so I can use a HDD on that...

    Last Seen Movie

    Being a fan of James Bond I am curious what you thought of the movie? It's technically not part of the James Bond Movie set and is a "remake" of Thunderball. I always enjoyed the original Thunderball verses Never Say Never Again. The director of this movie is the director of my favorite Star...

    Last Seen Movie

    Last movie I saw in the theater (remember those) was Avatar Way of the Water. It was "okay" but the first one still knocks it out of the park. Last movie I watched at home was the remastered version of John Carpenter's Starman. A classic "sci-fi" movie.

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    You knew what I meant to say but we must keep the "terms" correct for copyright purposes. :) I personally don't mind doing the job myself rather than "pay" someone to do it for me. I will research this a tad more before I dive in.

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    Seeing and reading this thread, I have not done this yet. I own a "Original 40GB Fat PS3" the one with all the memory card readers. I've never replaced the paste but reading these comments is changing my mind. I did swap out the power supply for a more "energy efficient" model. The one with the...

    Oldies Others What was your first game console?

    Started with the Atari 2600 which shows how old I am. Laser Blast & Space Jockey were my go to games.

    The A500 Mini

    You've got my attention. I own one of these things. Replaced the screen on the handheld a couple months ago because it had lines throughout and didn't work right. I now have a better working unit but the one thing I've always wanted to do was update the firmware. TMK the only way to do this was...

    Hardware DMS 4 EZI Pro Modchip help

    The chip itself as it stands now is a "lost cause". I had to retire it and seek another replacement. I had the part that snaps over the CPU controller not break the pins but bend them in a awkward fashion to the point when I had to go in and try to bend them back into place without causing...

    What do you think of Super Metroid today?

    I've never finished it or completed it. I have a SNES but I don't own the cart. I've been playing it on the switch per the SNES games bundle (NSO) and I'm enjoying it. There are some parts that are difficult to master like "Wall Jumping" for one. I am probably 50% threw. When your juggling a...

    What Neo Geo games are still worth playing?

    I busted out my Neo Geo CD a week ago and was enjoying Mutation Nation The Super Spy Ninja Combat & Magician Lord but that's just me.

    SEGA is reviving five of its classic franchises, including Jet Set Radio

    The original soundtrack for Streets of Rage has always stuck with me. It's techno beat just fits and I listen to it often. I remember dumping buckets of quarters at my local arcade on Shinobi. I've been trying to master the speed run on the boss statue level when you hit the ninja magic at just...

    Hardware DMS 4 EZI Pro Modchip help

    I searched around some more and found this. This might be my best bet for getting this hard wired. 1700601306 Also that PS2 board in my top screenshot is a v10 I have a v9 and the wiring won't work. Just found that out after cross-examination of wiring patterns.

    Hardware DMS 4 EZI Pro Modchip help

    I appreciate your efforts in order to help me out but I am having trouble deciphering what goes where from your sheet. What I was originally going to do was take the image and color code the wires with MS Paint or something to that effect. So I could look at the picture (edited) and follow the...
