James | PixelRefresh.comHappy 30th anniversary to the original playstation!I purchased mine second-hand and it was covered with a rather distressed stuck on cover.

James | PixelRefresh.comThe retro party for family and friends I set up this year was so successful, I'm planning another.Going to add Saturn, NES, Mega Drive & original Xbox to the Dreamcast, N64, SNES & PS1.I think I'll need another table! And yes, I have enough CRTs to accommodate this 🫠<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retroconsoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retroconsoles</a>

newt (6398)Is there a <a href="https://social.newt.li/tags/RetroConsoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroConsoles</a> bubble on Fedi? Today i failed to whiten a classic Gameboy using <a href="https://social.newt.li/tags/retrobrite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrobrite</a> and need advice on what could have gone wrong! I let the shell sit in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with around 2 Teaspoons of OxiClean for ~18 hours under some UV Strips. But sadly it looks pretty much the same as before :I I have had success doing it this way before on gameboy color shells, and didn't want to let the shell sit any longer to not damage it. Any ideas what i could try?

James | PixelRefresh.comThe analog stick on my recently purchased Nintendo 64 controller wasn't quite sensitive enough and sometimes sticking with movement.I thought I would open it up to see what the problem might be. Well it soon became obvious, it was NASTY! Gunk of some description must have got in there at some point.Now all cleaned and working great thank goodness.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/n64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#n64</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retroconsoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retroconsoles</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a>

Matias H. CastilloA question for the more technical gang here.I know that retro consoles (with all their microcontrollers) had way different architectures than modern ones (that resemble more like a small PC) and probably this had something to do with cutting production costs and compatibility.When did this change happen? When did consoles stop being this intricate electronical marvels and became what we have now?<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/RetroConsoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroConsoles</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/OldGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OldGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Technician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technician</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Thechies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Thechies</a>

James | PixelRefresh.comIt's been quite a process, but after cleaning up the mess left behind by one of the capacitors that leaked its guts everywhere and replacing all of the main ones, it's now up and running again. Of course I went straight to launch title Halo Combat Evolved for testing purposes!Getting the solder out of the holes after removing the capacitors ranged from easy to difficult. Thankfully I had help, although I can see why people invest in a desoldering station!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xbox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retroconsoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retroconsoles</a>
