Basically, a while back I've bought a PSOne screen that did not work. I do know that the 7812 voltage regulator is the problem, since the screen will work if it's bypassed. The thing is though, that the device requires a 12v input adapter, which makes it seem that the 7812 is only there as...
So I'm trying to program an attiny85 with the UltraCIC-III code, but I'm finding it difficult to do so. The first problem is that while compiling the code using a raspberry pi and avra, the program keeps spitting out an error ( .device definition not found). I've checked the include folder and...
This tale starts many a year ago (eleven to be precise) when I went swimming in the ocean. This was a lovely dip and much fun was had,right up to the point when a single realization occurred. I had forgotten that my DSi was still in my pocket. After quickly leaving the water (well, quickly...
So yeah, my PS4 decided to crash mid game, and my save got corrupted. Is there any way to recover the save, or am I SOL and lost 70 hours worth of time?
So I have a realityquest glove controller for the N64 (as well as one for the PS1, but that one functions correctly), but it has an issue with the 'thumbstick' part of the controller. Basically, it works fine for every direction but left, where it only goes to (somewhere around) half speed. Does...
So,quick question. I have a cheap aliexpress dongle to use as a payload injector, and seeing as I intend to change over to atmosphere the payload has to be changed. The instructions provided with the dongle directed me to this site, but it hasn't been updated in years.
The question now is...
Long story short, I have a fragging xbox, and installing a modchip (Aladdin XT plus 2 clone) did not help so I figured that I might as well try TSOP flashing it. Question is though, whether I can just take the IND bios .bin and flash it to the xbox using PiPROM (after making a backup of the...
So a long time ago I bought two Lynxes, and managed to get one working unit out of the deal (one didn't work at all, and the other worked, but somehow they managed to melt the battery compartment so transferring the mainboard of the working one into the shell of the broken one gave me a working...
Sit back and let me tell you the epic tale of my cd-rom2 unit...
So, about a year or two ago I bought myself a cd-rom2 unit to go with my pc-engine. Unfortunately, testing the unit soon proved that it would not function properly. Googling issues for the unit gave me two main culprits, namely the...
So, basically I have a copy of Time Lord for the NES that has some weird issues. It has severe background issues (from not loading to rolling backgrounds), while the objects (as well as the player and enemy sprites) themselves are in the proper place (ie collision is where it's supposed to be...
So yeah, my PS4 decided to crash just as I accessed a Mistle and my save data is corrupt (as in the actual save data, not the common data). Is there any way to recover this? I'm not gonna lie, if there's no way to recover I'm just gonna ignore the game for a couple of months at least. (the game...
(If this is in the wrong spot I'll unreservedly apologize, I wasn't sure where to put this)
A quick little bit of background, an old friend of mine uploaded pics of our trip way back when. I'd like to download these, but, unfortunately, he decided to upload all the pics simply named foto...
Well I'm trying to build a quick converter so that I can use a NGC controller on my N64. For this I'm using an arduino nano with a step up converter to provide the necessary 5v. From what I can gather the current on this would be around 20 mA (the nano is 19 mA and the step up converter's...
(To preface this, I'm sick while typing this, so I might not be as coherent as I'd like to be. If that's the case I apologize.)
So as I stated in a post a while back I'm trying to consolize a couple of old JAMMA boards by making some Superguns which I can then install in a custom case (to make a...
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so if it's not I apologize.
Basically I'm trying to make a portable retropie device which uses BT to connect both a small speaker and controllers. Unfortunately however, I've run into a couple of snags.
Firstly, my...
So, long story short, I decided to grab my ps3 after not even looking at it for the last two or so years. As it turns out though, the newer games need newer cfws (I'm currently on Rogero 4.46). Seeing as I've been away from the ps3 scene for a long time I wanted to know some things:
-First, what...
So long story short, I'm in need for an on/off switch (latching push button) for a 5V/7A circuit. I've found some switches that would be ideal, but they are for 250V/1.5A, 125V/3A, or 12V/?A. Would these actually work for my purposes?
So long story short, my old y-cable turned out to be faulty. Because of this some games did not install properly, so what I'm wondering is: Can I simply reformat the hdd and reinstall the games without any issue? (I'm not sure why there would be, but better to be safe than sorry).
So I wanted to try the Famicom only game Holy Diver on my N8. I do not know whether the N8 is a clone or not , so I'm going to err on the side of caution and say that it is (the guy who sold it to me said that it was official, but the price and the fact that it did not come from an official...
So after looking through page after page, I've found that a possible error for one of my boards (I have four of them and not a single one will work :glare: ) is a defective crystal. The problem is that I know very little about proper electrical components, and am unsure whether I can replace the...
