I was offered a deal, get some PS3 3DTV's working by reflashing the firmware and I get to keep one of them. The downside was that just before I was going to pick them up most of them got stuck in flood waters. Starting condition The first 2 I picked up were before the...
A quick and fast project to make a "multicart" for the Atari 2600. The UnoCart 2600 is an open source SD card based multicart for the Atari 2600. My build was based off UnoCart 2600 v1.03 project here on the PCBWay community projects. The project is based around the...
I never planned to get into PS3 but I ended up with a few, and specifically a Backwards compatible one. After I fixed the YLOD issues the next step was to CFW mod it and dump all my games so I can get rid of the physical copies I dont want, also means I can dump...
Everyone has heard about the PS3 Tokin recap process, all I can say is that it is painful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Before This was not the first time this PS3 has been stripped down to the motherboard. You can see that the CPU and RSX have been delidded and...
The Project The Raspberry Pi has no 'out of the box' way to display a 240p RGB signal, which is a pain if you want to have RetroPie running on your 90's Sony PVM. Enter, the Pi400RGB. Created by Llegoff on Github it offers either RGB Scart or VGA out from the Pi 400...

Finding the Project After seeing the 240p test suite everywhere I wondered if a standalone RGB test pattern generator existed, and sure enough as usual someone has already figured it out. I found this project on 'AVR Projects by Dim' that uses an ATTiny 2313 chip to...
Finding the Right MT32Pi Hat Since nobody can afford a real Roland MT32 a bunch of smart people had figured out how to use a Raspberry Pi to emulate it as a hardware device, which was much more in my price range. I did some digging and found that most Pi hats were for...
Digging the Apple IIc and Laser 128 out of the hoard These were an extremely grubby set of machines that came out of an estate sale. They seemed to be sitting for a very long time with a pile of classic macs. BUT, I had been looking for a Laser 128 for a while as I...
The Pickup Well I thought it was the deal of a century, a 21" Sony G21S1 CRT for a whole $1! I had heard these were RGB moddable and just couldnt resist having a go myself. Upon pickup it was obvious that this thing was hardly ever used and just had sat in a basement...
