Just doing some light maintenance on my game collection.
Sadly I couldn't find my battery cell holders, so I used tabbed batteries.
First up was Super Metroid with new battery and capacitor. Also, cleaning of the contacts. Saved and restored the save file.

New blog post! A look at the region converter hidden in some early NES games, an analysis of an NES epoxy blob cart, and an attempt to repair a broken Famicom cartridge. A bit disconnected but I hope you enjoy! nicole.express/2025/not-jus...

This post is a combination of looks at several oddities among my pile of NES and Famicom cartridges. Why, for example, do I have a copy of Gyromite when I do...

Another day another Sega Genesis triple bypass install 😂

No fancy flexes on hand this time so back to the ol’ wiring method

Just gotta do audio and headphone restore wiring and that’s another job in the books, with an N64RGB up next!

Extremely important on the Mega Drive 2 cables to have the Video lines separate, not touch the Audio lines inside the cable and having the resistors for RGBs on the connector side. This way, we get the best results

And with the PSU now recapped we have reached the end of this Dreamcast's journey at my hands. It's ready for its new owner.
Ran the 240p test suite to test input on all controllers and then played a couple of rounds of Street Fighter Alpha 3.

You can't say the Dreamcast wasn't versatile. I don't go out of my way to collect controllers and most of these are actually going to the same home as this Dreamcast unit but, there was for sure some input variety going on in this era.

Tried that with the previous one and I think that's what ended up killing it.
