Awesome, love to see your MiniDisc stuff.

Thank you, I do quite like them, too. Just need to find some more music to put on the rest of my discs, I'm nearly done with the ones I've already burned.

Without context it just looks like Link is pretending to be Mega Man:

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+

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.

Source? I just replaced the shoulder microswithes on an AGS-101 SP a few months ago, and while they work I wouldn't call them clicky.

I haven’t tried it out yet

It’s a prebuild I would have to ask the seller

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.

So try it out. No pressure, but do it now. Now!

Get in the van

Get in the van

Only if the GBA is in there hooked up by HDMI to a TV.

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.

Saw this earlier, it reminded me of those like weird and cool games I used to play on the PS1, gave it a try and bought it after 5 levels, lol
