Have you booted up your Dreamcast recently for some old-school fun and found that the loud fan noise was a little too much? Maybe your fan no longer works due to age? This mod aims to solve both issues, with a very high quality Noctua 40mm fan. Looking at the table below, it’s no surprise […]
As you may know, the Sega Dreamcast was outfitted with a rechargable ML2020 Lithium battery. Released in 1998, the console (and battery) are now 22 years old. It’s not surprising then, that the battery in your console probably won’t take a charge any longer, and you’ll be asked to input a date and time every […]
While the N64 was not outfitted with RGB capabilities from the factory, it does have RGB pins present on the multi-out connector on the back, and it also has RGB in-use within the console itself. What this means is; all we need to do is run the RGB lines from within the console, over to […]
Today we are going through the simple process of modding an Amiga 2000 power supply (PSU) with a new, much quieter fan. I have always been a fan of Noctua fans, so my goal with this endeavour was to see what it would take to get one installed in my Amiga. While there were a […]

Here’s a quick and simple repair for those of you that find your Turbografx 16 or PCEngine controllers to be worn out or too stiff. I have found over the last while that the d-pads and buttons are extraordinarily stiff on most TG16 controllers I’ve used. I’ve had a NES controller like that too. They […]
I recently picked up an Xbox One controller in the box for $10, from a local buy-n-sell website. It had a broken analog thumbstick, and I wanted to see if I could repair it. I then did a little research and found out that all the analog sticks in the xbone controllers are ALPS brand, […]
I recently picked up an N64 lot, and it included an Everdrive v2.5. It looked terrible. It had been hand painted a bunch of times, the cutout on the top was done really poorly, and it felt cheap. The internals rattled around in the case. It worked though! Here’s a quick gallery of my repair […]
Rock band kicks serious ass. I thought the game was good fun when I started playing it a while back, but I didn’t see myself getting into it. I played guitar mainly because drums were too hard. I got pretty decent at guitar, playing a bunch of songs on expert, but the real hard ones […]
