🎮🐸 "Breaking News: A centuries-old amphibian game rises from the ashes of obsolete tech—Frogger 2's source code heroically from a tape that met an untimely death. Because clearly, humanity's greatest challenge is preserving *more* games we forgot existed. 📼✨"

Actually, if I play around with the oscilloscope settings and change frequency and scale, it will show 0.7-0.8Vpp. So the RGB output of the AES3-5 is perfectly fine without the bypass. But let's still try and do a bypass and see what values we get. #retromodding #rgb #snk #neogeo #retrorevival

The original pure uncut baking soda, only the best is good enough! Powdered my nose... umm the plastic parts. Then produced a drop of super glue and have the powder suck it into it. Quite confident this will hold now. #retrorefresh #retrorenew #retrorevival #virtualboy #バーチャルボーイ

While looking for something else I found my broken #virtualboy, let's try and fix it. Sold my working one and kept this one. Wouldn't want to sell it after repair in case it does not hold. Will use super glue to fixate and then try to reinforce with the bakingsoda glue trick. #nintendo #retrorevival

Hooked up the oscilloscope and measured the R value and CSync. Time to read up as I don't really understand what I am looking at. From what I understand I need to get a pure white video signal and then measure. So now I need to find a diagnostic BIOS... #retromodding #retrorevival

🎵🌟 Take a nostalgic leap with 'Retro Revival: Charts From the Past'! Let the smooth voice of Bruno Brookes bring you back to the epic music scene of 1986. Prepare for timeless hits and a whole lot of reminiscing! Don't let the music stop—tune in today! 🎧🎙️ #RetroRevival #1986Classics #BrunoBrookesBeats 🕺🏼💫

Connected the recapped #neogeo AES (3-5). And checked the quality of the video. RGB is still better than composite, but it still has bleed and checkerboard. Might be caused by the cable, so let's make a proper one first. First 2 photos are composite, last 2 RGB. #rgb #retrogaming #retrorevival

Dekita! So much better. Still have to wait for a friend to print the LCD bracket for me (in orange!). Protective film is also still on the LCD. #retrorevival #atari #lynx @GamesMissed

Started on the #atari #lynx 2 McWill (ali repro) LCD mod. Removed the unneeded components and put them in a bag for safe keeping. Will keep the brightness dial as I will not adding a VGA port to the Lynx. #retromodding #retrorevival #retrogamimg

Replaced the speaker of the #atari #lynx 2 (8Ohm, 2W) with one from #aliexpress. Fits almost perfectly, diameter is the same, but the edge is just a little thicker, so need to push it in a bit harder. On the left is the original, on the right the new speaker. Next a sound comparison. #retrogaming #retromodding #retrorevival

#aliexpress delivery. New stuff arrived. #atari #lynx IPS LCD display, Lynx speakers (look a bit large), backlight panel (not specifically for the Lynx, but was curious. Way too big) and a #gamegear USB-C LiPo battery power/charging board. #retrogaming #retromodding #retrorevival

So I tried to finish up this project only to get nothing again... Big mess now. TIme to reset. Replaced the DIN socket with an 8pin one (the original one was bodged after all the manipulation). Composite works and sound as well, phew. All still good. #pcengine #retrogaming #retrorevival

🚀📚 Tom Wolfe gets the "retro" treatment, as if he's the vinyl record of New Journalism, now spinning for a new of Lululemon-clad students who probably think he's a TikTok dance. 🤦‍♂️ Let's hope his reissued works are as bright and flashy as their Instagram filters. 📸✨
