Figured I'd get situated and introduce myself. I've been around computers all my life and have always had a fascination with them. Earliest console was a Genesis and Gamegear with the Game Genie add on. Loved that thing. From there it was PS1/PS2.

Started to get into modding with the original Xbox. This is where my love for homebrew was brewed... Bad puns aside, homebrew has always been what has pulled me towards one console or another. I skipped over a little bit with the next adventure being the Wii. Homebrew Channel and Homebrew Browser were/are absolutely amazing. Spent countless hours listening to addicti.mod in the Browser. From there I actually went back to the original Xbox. Found a 1.4 Halo edition and swapped in the 80GB HDD from my original. XBMC4Xbox and all the emulators I could want.

Just recently got a Switch and have been absolutely loving it. Following the progress of the community has been a wonderful experience. A lot of very talented people showing what the hardware can really do.

I hope my stay here can even be half as great as the experiences I've had over the years. Happy to finally find a home. :D

hey there ! welcome to the temp, great introduction you made there :)
it brought me back some good memories with the modding scene in the time of the old xbox.. XBMC was the bomb of all bomb! the perfect media center :) i still love it a lot and i always hoped they would bring it to jtag but..the created beast became a milking cow..thus not coming back into the free land again :P

enjoy your time around, have fun!

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
