I posted about fixing my wii's DVD drive before.. but nobody mentioned that I could adjust this thing called the Pot on the laser. So I'm giving it a try and I'm realizing that the screw is incredibly small.. and none of my screw drivers are small enough to adjust it accurately or really even budge it. What size screw driver do I need to make this work?

-edit-
Link to the guide I used in my sig. It was very helpful.

I found the suggested screwdriver for this task. 2mm standard phillips screw driver (like for glasses)
I hope this helps someone.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    Which GPU was hot in the ps1 era psi besides all of them

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    @Psionic Roshambo, the filters i hate the most are the bilinear ones
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, when the PS1 was out I had the PS1 the N64 and on PC I had the Voodoo 2 and glide looked soooo nice at the time 🥰
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Biliniar filters are OK but brz is better I like SuperEagle but out of all of them xbrz is probably the most computationaly expensive
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Emulation is the way to go for so many reasons NES get rid of flicker by turning off the sprite per line limit. Cheats? Ken Batocera is your friend almost every console has cheats in it

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, most of the time the only cheats i use are bugfixes

    @Psionic Roshambo, yeah but the old ways of just having codes in a book was much more fun
