Reminder folks, just cutting or removing the clock capacitor in an XBOX isn’t enough if I has already leaked 😬
Power trace got damaged underneath requiring bypass and a transistor fell right off when moving the board
Luckily it’s all fixed up now 👍

My 2026 AAA release excitement rankings:
1. Wolverine (most excited for)
2. Tomb Raider Remake
3. Resident Evil Requiem
4. Saros
5. 007 First Light
6. Fable
7. Pragmata
Way more than last year. I certainly won't play all of these this year, but hopefully I will hit most by the end of '27.

Setup is mostly done, just need to round up some of my HDRV component cables and composite/svideo and do some cable management
Now I can show finished systems on the CRT while simultaneously getting my 4K captures
