Made this little tool to help straighten chips on the Voodoo 2 if the chip appears to be twisted/shifted. Turns out if you attempt that, many legs would start to detach, which feels very wrong. So it’s not very useful after all🤔
Also yes, I bought another very broken Voodoo 2🤪

“Broken” Voodoo 5 PCI for a bit of a price cut. Turns out it just works. I guess whoever tested it forgot to plug in the Molex again🤡
Now it’ll get cleaned and wait for its turn to get a DVI upgrade😌

I believe now I have all the parts to make this thing.
But to make this thing, I have to make another thing to flash the one small thing that’s going onto the thing I wanna make, just to save a few dozens of bucks. This is the price to pay to be cheap, I guess🤡

I have some EDO RAM sticks that need to be tested, so here is the only machine in my house that might be able to do that🫠

Bought an adapter to save time, ended up having to tear it down and isolate pins due to shorted pins. Sigh🫠

Spent the whole afternoon retrying the fight. Turns out I did not configure the gears properly. After doing so, the fight was actually quite manageable even 4 levels below the recommendation😆

Very tough fight! I’m at lease 6 levels under and hand to make sure every step was done correctly, plus hoping for the best from the RNG god😂
