Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to gauge interest in the Palette Cleanser for an initial batch. Please hit the Ko-fi link below and let me know so I can try to satisfy initial demand ko-fi.com/polls/Are-yo...

Something something like this.🤔

With 4 Eneloop AAs, this radio ran for 3 days👀 I can tell there are still some caps inside that need replacing, since the tuning doesn’t work without some warmup. Also the clock ran a few minutes too fast only 2 days in. Gonna look into this in a few days🤔

Guess I’ll figure out a way to put a VGA port on the CD-i 450🤔

Finally decided to service my CD-i 450’s dead RTC. It’s janky and tedious, but it’s not difficult🫠

I’ve been searching for an analog TV tuner device that could output composite video for a few days🤔 Turns out I just need a damn VCR ffs😂🤣

The kinda news you’d like to see in the morning😌

Quick lime powered fake Chinese hotpot shenanigans🤡

Have been eyeing this radio from Sony for a while. It’s in good condition but does not output any sound. Like all battery-operated devices from eBay, there are signs of battery leakage😬

At least some of those companies cared, just a little bit. Unlike now, none of them cares about anything anymore🫠

New LGR retrospective! youtu.be/L2MdOK92MHE Revisiting when DVD movies came with special DVD-ROM extras only accessible! I kinda forgot InterActual Player and PC Friendly discs were even a thing til a couple years ago, so let's dive into the history and try a bunch of 'em out on a Windows 98/XP PC

FOSS Patches as well as deeper documentation properly collected with attributions here: github.com/pcm720/fc130... Should be flashable with ATA commands, so you can skip the SPI flasher. It may be possible to have DVRP patch the firmware itself as most people don't have ATA interfaces anymore.

Hey fellow PSX DESR fans. Here’s a cheap way to recover your hardware if your hdd is dead! Usually these SD adapters have spotty performance and I haven’t tested it myself, dubbing video may raise issues But there is no reason why this kind of solution wouldn’t work so I’m sure it’s the real deal!

These funny patterns were made by caterpillars licking moss off of the plastic according to my kids. Mother Nature surely has some fun sometimes🤡

Bought a batch of MiniDiscs and it came with a really cool modular holder👀

Doing a little English translation work with my friends Fable, Mednefen, Ghidra and the Hitachi Saturn Bios, as well as the source ISO's for each system, decompiled, and the complete full scripts now in json structured docs. Mind you this took an hour. My mind is blown Game: Snatcher

Welp, it looks like the sanded-down RTC chip works after all. What a relief!👀

Wow it sure takes an unnervingly long period of time to remove a SLOG device from a VDEV that's online, eh?🤡

I also made some memories with the design from Bits Und Bolts last week!🤪 They work just fine, but the lack of parity gave me some issues🤔

Got a batch of sanded-down bq3285S chips. Black comes off when I rubbed it with alcohol. But curiously, the pin diode values corresponds to the datasheet, including the NC pin. I don’t know how to make of it. Still waiting for the machined pins to test it🤔

Typed “Ghost in a hell” and thought “Huh, that’d be just Tuesday🤔”🤡

Going down a rabbit hole of footage like this is so awesome. I'm thankful the mundane like this was recorded! Seriously, even the ads in here made remakes and cheat devices look like the coolest things ever. youtu.be/HNcsnHHnLuk

Verified various functionalities of the board. Of course I reversed the TX/RX silkscreen like every normal engineer🤡 But other than that, all the planned functionalities worked!👀

The Jeff Chen PlayStation 1 VGA Dongles are up for sale. Grab yours here⬇️ em-modshop.com/product/play...

It’s PCB day again👀 The mouse bites are still very strongly attached and I had to use my side cutter🫠 But hey the fitment seems perfect👀

Got mail on my way back home and this showed up in the mail👀 Is it worth saving? Or is it just mainstream stuff?🤔

I’m finally outside?!🤪

Is it futile trying to reform the tired pins in an IC socket?🤔
