Out in the garage you will find the RasPi 5 I plan on using as a web server. It’s using the long Ethernet line that I put in this summer, and worked my butt off to bury. Now I can have a freezing cold garage cool my server machine while I connect to it from the comfort of my own chair. ^_^

All the donor carts I have been collecting to process. Straight from the 5$ & less bargain bin. That’s gonna be a whole lot of labels I have to remove/replace, and a ton of solderwork to do.

Just even looking at it makes me question my decision to get into cart modding, lol.

Aww well, here we go!

So much baby kitty love! She loves to snuggle up next to me and just be nearby. I love her soooo much! :3

I love it when mod authors get the free cart of their work that I send them! This Final Fantasy V cart I sent over is being well loved! Absolutely love to see someone so happy and inspired by something like this. Truly warms my heart! I hope he has an absolute BLAST playing it!

Property due west of us had a building catch on fire today. Seems mostly put out now, but damn. Just goes to show you how fast a fire can engulf a place.

And with this gorgeous piece of electronics, I shall build myself a website. A website where I don’t need anyone else’s permission. Nobody taking any %. One all my own.

RasPi 5 server machine, ho!

Well I do have some updates on StarFox EX overclock! We pieced together the circuit diagram for the clock signal generator and found a very simple way to use the hex inverter for cleaning up the clock signal. Definitely more consistent, cleaner signal.

Still crashing on controller setup menu. :/

Aww that’s sad news. I always loved the original MK movie even if it was a bit goofy at times. Same with the Street Fighter movie. And Mario Bros movie (a lot of people didn’t like it but I loved it).

There are some things in life that are finer than fine wine.

As the electronics gods as my witness, please let this also be one.

(Ready to test… Will it work!? All connections tested. We look go.)

ROUND TWO!

FIGHT!

(Second revision of PCBs, this time done with 100% triple checked absolute certainty of pinouts)

I just wanted to note that if you’re a mod author of some romhack I’ve made a reproduction of, I absolutely would love to share with you some of the spoils.

The reason I haven’t is because I didn’t have a way to contact you. Not because I didn’t try - I did, you just are not easy to contact.

I’ve done a lot of soldering at least! Normally don’t use up an entire spool of solder wire too quickly so this is a neat milestone to meet when it does occur.

Don’t worry, I got more on order, just kinda cool to see all that used up like that. :3

All my future wire is 63/37, no more 60/40 4me!

May I present to you, the funnest guy at parties!

Committing crime you say? Don’t mind if I do! I love a good piracy against capitalism! :D Yar har tweedle dee dee!

In other news Vimms lair still has Final Fantasy roms and lives off ad revenue. Square don’t give two shits. Trust me, it’s fine.

Putting up FFIV Ultima Plus and FFVr Clean carts tomorrow! They’re really well modded and exciting stuff to get out there!

When I’m not trans’ing game carts I’m overclocking them.

WITH LIQUID SCHWARTZ!

(Jk, that’s my brothers Xmas present :3)

Got rev2 overclock boards now tho! :D

Cannibalizing carts, eh?

I've been on Reddit longer than you and know how to play the extreme sarcasm game.

You want to play ball with me don't be surprised if your butthole hurts afterwards.

I mean, ethically speaking, not like I won't give you a pillow to bite down on. No hate, just reality.

OMG NOT THE 3-5$ BARGAIN BIN SPORTS GAMES! Won’t somebody think of the poor, poor John Madden 97 NFL Football video games that were mass produced in the hundreds of thousands for some rich corporate overlord who charged full price each year for a slightly improved version!

THE POOR SHAREHOLDERS.
