An actual universal RGB scart for Nintendo consoles.

Cables for the NTSC snes and PAL snes are wired different, Gamecube is different again and that's before you get to RGB modded N64's which might be csync, might be sync on luma, depends how it was modded. Not RGB, but even composite is apparently different between PAL and NTSC 64 (one has a 75ohm resistor).

Using a wrong cable might work, but it's technically not to spec and won't give you the best picture and that is best case. Accidently use a csync wired cable designed for an NTSC machine on a PAL console and you'll send +12v down the sync line.

This cable, no worries about right cable for right console, cable adapts. Designed by Mike Chi (Retrotink), who at this point I assume is a magician.

I have a modded PAL snes, an NTSC rgb modded snes mini and a RGB modded NTSC 64, so one cable for all is perfect for me and I don't have to worry about accidently using the wrong cable and at worst damaging my Retrotink5x.

Yeeeeep. Wish i was into IRL racing sim rigs in HS too, cuz everything was dirt cheap then and i woulda made that my biz instead of a decade long depression i barely crawled out of..... But otherwise, i paid 2 for mine and it just needed new FO to move itself, so ~$200. Then new disks and pads and that was that. Exterior still aint done.....lmao

The....GB Micro. Genuine Micro.

I had a bout with depression that lasted 8 fucking years. I know exactly what that's like, I wouldn't wish brain-chemical depression on anyone.

Ordered Pixel 9a from the Google Store and will be trading in my Pixel 7a for a discount, I can't see any physical damage so it should pass the test.

The reason I'm ditching my 7a is due to the keyboard, regardless of which one it is, after a few days or so it starts repeating letters (e.g. I press once for e and then it shows "eee"). Some weird software bug with the phone, I guess.

Got some stuff this week. A new MiniDisc album, a GBA SP 101 (original display on purpose), a Pocketbook Verse Pro Color, and the commission featured on it made by one of my favorite internet artists GRS.

The SP definitely needs a new shell and lens, but otherwise it works fine. The eReader seems fine, I'm not sure if the color will really be useful since the display is a little small for visual novels / comics and the colors are a little simple with only 16 shades per color, but otherwise it seems quite fine for reading books. This one will probably be my main source to read text heavy stuff, and I can fall back on my tablet if I need full sRGB colors and a bigger screen.

Just some generic 11t jockey wheels. I used to get them on Ebay, but the sellers there got greedy. Used to be £5 or so for a pair, now it's £5 for one. Same ones from source (Aliexpress) are £3 for a pair. Don't mind paying a little more from the UK, but that's just taking the piss.

Epicjoy summercart 64 in purple. Epicjoy ones are suppose to be decent. Not had a chance to test, update firmware or set rtc yet, but it looks nice enough.

I also got some awg 26 solid core and awg 28 solid core while I was ordered, no pic because the bag reflects too much light and I'm not taking the wire out till I want it as I will never get it back in the bag.


Quick edit so I don't need to double post. Tested the Epicjoy cart.

Came with the latest firmware (2.20.2 as of this post).
Passes the cart test with sc64deployer.
RTC is there and works. Set time with sc64deployer, was still correct later when I got around to testing it on the console.
Rear button and cut out are there.
Cart edges are bevelled, inserts easily.

The 5080 wasn't turning me on so I ditched it for a 5090. Now I get to worry about my house burning down but at least my rays are traced more often per second.

It comes in PURPLE!? Man, if I didn’t have an X7 I’d buy one..

Are the drivers being weird for you?

I’d post a pic but I don’t have: I opted to buy a new OLED monitor as a bit of a sidegrade to my Alienware ultrawide. Only to find out it’s not HDR certified? What’s that even meeaaan?! I love it though. The Odyssey G60SD from Samsung. May attach a picture later.

I haven't really had any of the issues I've seen online, although I usually blame Windows when something weird happens. The only annoying one I have is RDR2 randomly gets all washed out, which I think may be related to bad HDR implementation on my monitor.

Ordered a third party NS2 Joy-Con chargeable grip. I'll probably use it once or twice, think most of the time I'll play handheld mode.

 

[Skv0ra]

In all his chappi glory!

 

[Silterpy]

Ordered some cleanup crew (two kinds of isopods and some springtails) for my leopard gecko's bioactive build, and some food for him and my other insectivores (crickets, mealworms, and superworms).

Awesome! Hope you can load some great games onto it.

Awesome! Hope you can load some great games onto it.

Already loaded up all the Guitar Hero games, still have to load up all the Rock Band games.
I'm also gonna load up the beta versions of GH3 and GH WoR as well.

I also loaded up all the games that were on the 240GB SSD it came with on my 1TB HDD so i got my games and the games the seller put on the SSD. For anyone curious, its a Falcon board and from what i see, Falcon's and Jasper's are the more reliable fat models.

Well, got 2xLR44 batts and this baby lives again!!

Celebrating w this equal nostalgia-
