Time for another blog entry. I've had very little time recently again, but now I found some time to write a new entry...
So, I've worked at a flea market selling electronics for a few months, and I've got some interesting stories from that time, since flea markets really have an atmosphere...
This entry might be a bit more interesting than the previous one. This time I won't be doing just a standard modchip install, but a mod of my own...
But well, let's start from the beginning. Recently (but before the PSone), I finally bought an imported Japanese Nintendo 64. I wanted one for a...
I'm back here again after quite a long time. There were some things in the last months that I could have probably written blog entries about, but those last months were quite troublesome for me, so I never found that bit of motivation to write anything in my blog, especially considering that...
Everyone has probably heard about Mario Kart 7 online's recent 1.2 update at this point. While the forums and others on the Internet might have gone crazy with comments like "Why Nintendo!!?", "Just let the 3DS die already", "The 3DS should already be forgotten about.", "Does anyone seriously...
The blog entries might be getting a bit repetitive at this point, as the two previous ones were also about o3DS repairs, but one coincidence led to another coincidence and I ended up with another black o3DS at my dumb little table, so I might as well once again document the repairs I did to it...
Hello, after the profile post I made recently, it's time to restore another 3DS again! This time it's a red original 3DS, Japanese region version:
The sticker on it might already give you a bit of a hint about one of the things that needs fixing, if you know a thing or two about 3DS systems...
About a week ago I noticed that my old 3DS started having some issues with the A button, it required a lot more force to register a press. I've had enough of it today, so I decided to take it apart once again to try doing something about it. Had some trouble getting some of the screws out...
In response to the previous blog, I thought it would be interesting to show my full collection of working DS and 3DS systems, and any history or special things associated with them. Only working systems, not the things from my parts bin.

Nothing special about this one, it's...
After a very long time of not messing with any broken DS or 3DS consoles, I found a good deal recently, and decided to buy another Old 2DS... It was sold with the description of not turning on (turns on for a few seconds and shuts off with popping sound in the speaker) after replacing the touch...
So, recently I got this thinkpad X60 laptop with the intention to install Libreboot and a GNU/Linux-libre distribution, because why not?
It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Still working after all those years, and it also came with the ultrabase docking station!
Even the internal hard drive is...
I just got this today!
[/SPOILER]
It's a Sony Digital Audio Tape recorder, I got it for for free from a friend who had it sitting unused for 20 years together with that tape inside of it.
At first when I plugged it in after 20 years, it had some issues and wouldn't play at all, but after...

Only Xbox I don't have is the OG, and One X model specifically, I regret giving my chipped OG model to one of my kids years ago, after later hearing he sold it to pawn shop, damn kids!+2 -

I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856

I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.

BigOnYa:
Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.

@Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge. -

I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that -
@
SylverReZ:
Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.+1

I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc -

impeeza:
@Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.+2 -
