8BitDo wireless conversion kit for the N64 controller. Comes with a Hall effect stick in the style of the GameCube stick. The gate isn’t the standard N64 gate, unfortunately… Aside from the tight fit from the internals, it works great!

Will be cleaning the controller proper this weekend.. maybe..

Just bought a 2-spot Nyko Wiimote charging station. All I need, one spot for Wii and one for the Wii U. No more alkaline batteries, and when these rechargeables wear out I learned from voultar how to rebuild these. Could hardly believe real Nyko ones were still available new.

Link to voultar's how-to for rebuilding the battery packs when they wear out.

looking on the design, that batteries are exactly the same on my 8-bitdo SN30pro+ :blink:

If you watch that voultar video, you'll see the Nyko "battery packs" are just a proprietary plastic casing around two standard NiMh AA rechargeables. No reason that charging stand can't be kept in service forever.
Can confirm. Have the same Nyko charging dock for Wii and have replaced the batteries for standard NiMH AA’s. Be careful popping the case open. It cracks easy.

Recently picked up a Pentium 4 machine to go with the old Pentium 1 machine. The previous user very much liked red. It has red “neon” tubes that aren’t turned on (but work). All the fans are red. Even the PSU is clear acrylic with… red LED’s and an adjustable fan. CD/DVD burners, 250Gb SATA hard drive running Windows XP. Graphics card is an ATI X1650 512Mb AGP8x.

By the way when you did the swap, how did you bridge the batteries on one end? Voultar uses a portable spot welder with a strip of nickel which is textbook correct, but I figure there's probably a more ghetto but plenty effective way. The welder isn't that expensive though.

I bought a battery spot welder. I also wanted to rebuild some DeWalt 20v packs that have gone bad. Worked perfectly for both.
