Work and family life keep me busy. Console mod installs in my spare time.

The full suite of Sega Master System 2 mod kits from @ConsoleMods installed in this one console. *Switch-less Region Change *RGB bypass *Controller Pause *2nd Bios support *FM Sound module & adapter *'RGB Encoder' & DFO. 👀 #PALGamers #mastersystem #madness

@nosIndulgences @LukesGameStuff Good reminder. I think I've only had one with this failure too but it is always on my mind if Im sent PS1 "with a dead laser" for xstation install. I keep a couple good lasers handy for this reason to test.

@DelaEpoca1084 @ConsoleMods Nicely done.

@DelaEpoca1084 @ConsoleMods The pins that need to be soldered to have pads. Apart from a couple of anchor points, the rest don't have pads.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@AlbosFlavi42307 No. Recommended but customer didn't pay for that service.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

Xstation ODE install for the PS1 + DFO (hand assembled).

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@Sonikthejeko No. It's missing the circuitry and a bunch of passive components hence the miniRGBii boards and wiring. It also has a limited OS that removes the ability to select it in the settings. So you have to also install homebrew to then install a normal Wii OS.

Wii mini feature restoration... Wifi, SD card slot, reset button, and 480p component video now working. I used kits from
https://t.co/GtIoeTaAek and I assembled some of these too

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@Sonikthejeko It's possible but trust me it's a lot easier to soft mod another Wii.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@calzone79622495 No but maybe down the line. A second USB port at the back might be desirable for me. I wouldn't mind hooking up that USB smash 4 player gc controller adapter thing if it works well with nintendont? I like how the Wii mini looks so I don't want to cut into the shell too much.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@cyothevile How far did you get with this in the end?

Component restoration board for Wii Mini because the one on github...well let's just say it can be improved

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@webhdx Thanks. Also happy you put doubles of everything in the wifi kit. At least one of those tiny parts skipped off somewhere else while placing.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

My Sega Nomad modded with Venus kit from @EndoOleg is looking really good. Easy to follow written install instructions. Magnificent kit! #Sega

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@wireframejames How good! Great news.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@W00fer @TakiUdon_ Batch 2 preorder is up, which I think is for remaining stock only so shouldn't have to wait years like the first pre order. Still some availability in black.

Super5 OLED Mega Kit - HDMI + Touch Screen from @TakiUdon_ for the Nintendo Switch Lite. Assembled and running.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

Thanks for the CleanPower Kit @retrosixuk. Is your CleanScreen replacement LCD for the Lynx also frame locked? I see it has a mode (called true motion) in the OSD. What exactly does this do?

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

Atari Lynx upgrades 🕹️
-BennVenn IPS LCD screen
-Cleanpower + USB-C (2.5v-12v input)
-Fresh control membranes
-Punchy new speaker
-VGA out
-Recapped
All except the CleanPower kit supplied by @kretro_gaming

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@ZypZapCommunity @kretro_gaming Yeah the magnetic connector is a cool touch and the screen is pixel perfect in terms of a scaled image reportedly.

The original Lynx screen does have at least one advantage over this one still in terms of having a variable refresh rate (some games use this).

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@EndoOleg @ossim79 @leonkiriliuk Another sale here if you can get them in stock.

[Jono Sharp @JonoSharp]

@RetroJeff83 @MisterAddons @iequalshane @iFixRetro So pumped for this!
