I just picked one up too from japan. I also did a quick test too, working. But waiting for caps from Console5 before using it any further. 🙂

Another very successful day of prototype testing today. We completed testing the docking station and everything works perfectly. We now have a charge and I/O dock for the Pocket MiSTer that also has lots of cool features too. More details soon, you are going to love it.

New PicoIDE update on Crowd Supply! Injection mold samples! And announcing the Open Retro Storage Front Panel project, which explains why the samples say "BlueSCSI" instead of "PicoIDE." www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

I promised an update once I received the samples for the injection molded case, so now I’m happy to share what they look like!

and if the alternatives are “setup your own server to run some other software”. In the bin, thats another job of maintenance and aggro

If I was gonna hazard a guess, it's a reskinned Easyphone t300. No stub antenna. But button layout is good, hinge looks about right. Battery specs the same. Stock image orientation suspiciously similar. And it's got an sos button.🧓

Had to do some repairs on mine. Replaced the optical assembly as the main gear teeth was broken and the laser wasn’t reading discs right. So was easier to just get a KSS from Ali

I find these machines fascinating. Not super practical but am having a lot of fun digging into them. I did a quick stream with them recently www.youtube.com/live/jgx17tz...

Picked this up a few weeks back. Tianli Game VCD Player. Plays VCD’s, but also has an official License from Sega to play Megadrive games from a VCD Disc. Which has the game roms on it and were sold. Can load them straight into an emulator 😂 Anyway these are then loaded into ram and booted. 1/3

Found an old model set still sitting on my hard drive unused, so have uploaded them for everyone to download now! C64 keycap set, modelled to be as close as possible to the original shape! It's missing the space key, will add that later. www.printables.com/model/171497...

Also thought i had audio problems with the PACS as tried 2 PCE pacs and no audio or faint. But that was the PACS, they also need recapping. The Sega PAC worked, but still needs recapping.

After recapping all the boards, this dead laseractive is now working. Had some other faults along the way, mainly me, i didnt push the CONT connectors all the way in as was afraid to break them 😂. This caused video problems with the PACS and CD’s did not spin. @zaxour.bsky.social said to reflow …

I finally finished up a circuit to better approximate the composite palette! Output from the bonanza goes in, then modified RGB goes out. Not necessary if you have an RT5X/4K, but would be useful for CRT's/other scalers.

Laser Active Update FSTB and CONT done. FSTB recapped no problems and no fishy smells surprisingly CONT lost 2 pads and some fishy smells from a few caps Might do the RGB later that will leave me with the VIDEO board over easter and cleanup and reassemble, if i remember where the cables went 😂

Accompanying yesterday's Genesis is this 32X - recapped and outfitted with a Buzzkill to ensure no inductor noise!

Ugly duckling Model 1 VA7 Genesis glow up with a 4BP and TS924 headphone amp! No more horribly balanced audio, with cleaned-up RGB and S-Video capability to boot! I opted for a bottom side install this time...wish I had a flex for everything 🫠

Started on my Laser Active Recapping Journey with the INFT consolemods.org is an excellent resource. Made Cap Box to help sort the caps i need. C418 was the leaky boy that was stopping this board from working
