Hot air station. Put down some tacky flux and kept it moving around the chips at about 380c.

Thanks! I've built a MGBC, a DMGC, a Funny playing GBA so I have some experience (though very much still an amateur).

Thanks! Getting them off was probably harder than soldering them on. It took quite a bit of heat to melt the existing solder. After that, line up the pins and tac it in place and use drag soldering with plenty of flux.

 

The SGB CPU is compatible with the DMG. By swapping the CPU, your Gameboy will skip the falling Nintendo animation. This decreases the boot speed.

 

What's everyone playing? I'm enjoying Mr. Driller for the GBC.

Finally got a chance to try the new vacuum florescent filter. It looks cool but I bit to sharp for me and I feel like my brain knows where the scanlines are supposed to be. I prefer the GPB Light filter over this but its awesome to see and I bet there are some games that would look great.

 

Looks like a bunch of bug fixes and some new display modes. No DAC

Thanks, those are cool but I'm just a sucker for a good landscape.

Thought I would show this off here too.

This is an open source project that adds a GBC processor and screen into a DMG shell. Have to say, I really enjoy the weight. The github can be found here.

I think the laws need to clarify the difference between just hosting vs suggesting content. Tik Tok should be responsible since it suggested the dangerous video, unlike if it was just hosted on an AWS server.

Thanks! Besides some other posts about this adapter on and some comments here and there on Reddit, I just post on Lemmy now.

Could you imagine if land voted instead of people?

Land Doesn't Vote

This was my first attempt doing a trace repair on a HDMI port. Seems like everything seems to be working after replacing those caps as well. Played through the tutorial of gears 5 with no issues.

What I've tested:

  1. Playing downloaded game
  2. Playing a Blu-ray
  3. Playing on a 4k TV and 1440 monitor. This one the auto detect preferred 120hz 1080p but manually selecting resolution works great.

What I've learned:

  1. Wired all the pads before soldering the port. I attached the front wires after the port was soldered. Should have just done them all.
  2. A cheap grinding pen is so much easier to use than a knife to expose the traces.
  3. 0201 are very hard to work with.
 

Picked up this Series X to do a trace repair for the hdmi, turns out 2 caps were ripped off the board as well. The one was still partially connected and easy to bodge. The second circled is missing. I'm curious if anyone knows the replacement value.

The similar caps in the area all read between 18.6 to 19.6 uf when out of circuit, so it could be a few values (though no guarantee this cap wasn't unique and completely different).

 

The 369 in 1 can be reflashed with the Nightrap rom. Funny thing too, the bootleg shell feels higher quality.

Another Extender Option (shop.insidegadgets.com)
 

Just another option for people looking to buy a extender (though really consider investing learning how to build one yourself). InsideGadgets is very well known in the community for the GBxCart Flasher and their flash carts so no risks on quality in my opinion.

Disclaimer: I am the developer of the project and have not been compensated in any way from InsideGadgets.

 

Limited Run Games did preorders last April fools 2023. No actual gameplay, just the movies in quality similar to the GBA video carts.

Rom is 256mb. It doesn't load in the Mister, OpenFPGA, or mGBA.

 

These are flashcarts. 3 MBC1, 1 MBC3, and 1 MBC30

 

To add context, I'm the developer of this PCB and in no way affiliated/compensated by the seller. Selling is permitted by the license so that's all cool. I do think you're better off learning basic soldering if you really care about original carts and doing fully diy, but there is now an option for buying.
