@Tian_Feng44 “This has been documented time and time again”… No, a tweet or some random Discord convo serves nothing once it’s lost in the ether. Your post couldn’t better grasp the biggest problem in retro gaming/modding. A forum can also be taken offline, or imgur links die. If only a wiki

@_ShootTheCore Love following your work on this repair! I have a faulty Irem M92 that I’ve been working on for quite some time, and it is more and more likely to be the custom Nanao chip at fault. Hopefully someone will eventually come up with a solution, but highly unlikely given the package

@TRP_RetroMods @Voultar Mouser stocks Chemtronics aqueous Flux-Off for 60$ a gallon, and ships it to Canada.

@guspaz @HDRetrovision Are the PCE duo adapters going to stay a Castlemania exclusive?

@HackerVilela @racer4200 @burgerbecky @SegaSnatchers @WalrusFPGA I have a spare WWII SA-1 cart (same I used for @HackerVilela dev cart, SHVC-1L8B-10 with 2048k SRAM) on hand and a ZIF socket, I have to check if I still have an adapter board on hand.

[Matt Joly @QcRetro]

@TRP_RetroMods @HackerVilela @SmokeMonsterTWI The major problem I see here is that Winter Gold isn't a common cart, the price is exorbitant. It is also a PAL exclusive, does this cause an issue for dev? As a side note, is there a difference from your perspective between SuperFX and SuperFX2?

[Matt Joly @QcRetro]

@HackerVilela @burgerbecky @SegaSnatchers @WalrusFPGA I used a 1Mb SA-1 game and @TRP_RetroMods SA-1 adapter (available on Oshpark) and soldered a ZIF socket to it.

@Tian_Feng44 @TenPuddle277 @RonaldSDean @ECUProfessor Good to know! I’d love for more companies to offer “duties paid” options for these types of purchases. For example, JLCPCB offer DHL DDP for only a couple more bucks, but this is pennies compared to what they charge here.

[Matt Joly @QcRetro]

@Tian_Feng44 @TenPuddle277 @RonaldSDean @ECUProfessor I’d love for that to actually work, for some reason, my shipments are never associated with my accounts. NT noir was 110$ to get across the border on top of the 50$ usd already paid!!

@Sayajiin Ca ressemble plus a un underspecced MiSTeR, capable de rouler les cores 8 et 16 bits de base, mais rien de plus fancy

Depression, burning out from my career in VFX and a global pandemic have pushed me back a lot this year... but also pushed me forward to go back to school as an EE undergrad... So little time to mod and make more arcade kits available. But don't despair, I'll get there!

[Matt Joly @QcRetro]

@Voultar I'm ready, my body is ready, my console is ready, my iron is ready. You tease!

@SmokeMonsterTWI Much rosin, little flow

@RgRDev Are you certain? I just checked @canadapostcorp website and there doesn’t seem to be any restriction for Taiwan currently.

[Matt Joly @QcRetro]

@xmilu2 Beautiful! Are you considering different ways of selling these?
