Make sure the kids asleep as this is a bit provocative. We modified a 3D printer into an insertion tester and ran a Ninten-Drawer through 10,000 cycles without issue (thats a game a day for 27 years). You'll want the sound on for this. Credit to @krikit for video edit

@RetroJeff83 @hasnopants @retroaccess You’re like the Loopy man now

DOOM running on an RGB modded Casio Loopy! Thanks to @hasnopants for helping me get this setup on the FloopyDrive cart and to @retroaccess for the custom fortraflex 8 pin RGB cable! I'm sure it will continue to improve but its already quite impressive given the hardware

@jeffqchen That could be a solid wing commander / ultima 7 machine

If any of you fancy repairing yourself into an owner of the fastest 386 CPU soldered on a motherboard with RAM sticks, here is your chance🤡 ebay.com/itm/2274202296…

New video is LIVE! This week I travel to Japan to pick up one of the rarest CRT/Console Combo ever made. The question is, can I bring it home safely? Video Link 👉 youtu.be/Zk0Nk1KJuSc Huge thank you to @PCBWayOfficial and @luzooki for sponsoring this week's video!

Well… shit

@Prusa3D Waiting until you sell large format assembled systems with the INDX. Hustle up!

We have a new obsession: printing calibration butterflies on our INDX. Otto the calibration butterfly is the model we recommend starting with. As the name suggests, we designed this model to verify that your printer is properly calibrated after assembly, while leaving you with a cool first print you can show off. 🦋 printables.com/model/1761475-…

@retroaccess Nice floppies

Coming soon, SCART to Sony PVM-2030/2530 professional CRT monitor adapter cables.

@joelwrose We are working on that. If you have a version with an ejection molded drawer (90% of existing units) it can be easily upgraded to the new gold connector.

@BlueShell3D Since I have an original, is there any way to upgrade it or is it more trouble than it’s worth? I do have a couple thick greenband games

NES Cart PCBs with greenband’s are a tricky matter and very misunderstood... especially by Youtubers... There are THICK and THIN greenbanded games. Thin greenbands are by far the most common and have always been compatible with the Nin10-Drawer. Thick greenband games are extremely uncommon and can be easily identified because they won’t work in an original Nintendo toploader. So knowing all that... Nin10-Drawers have always been compatible with thin greenbanded games. Beginning in we 2026 switched over to our own custom GOLD plated cart slots making all new Nin10-Drawers compatible with both thin and thick greenbanded games.

@nuxvomo @PixelCNinja I have not, but until I hear @RSDCDN say he can beat Tyson on a flat panel...

@BlueShell3D @PixelCNinja Have you checked out those new Arcooda 4:3 arcade replacement monitors? Not OLED but I'm curious how one of those paired with a RT4K would stand up. 💸

Are shaders and filters on par with CRTs now? I feel that if we hid a good OLED inside a CRT's housing and applied the right filters, most people would think it was a CRT.

BONUS: Here is some golden connector pr0n

@zaxour We made extra

@BlueShell3D so you'll be selling these cart connectors for use in top loaders, of course? Then I can do a toppy SMT 😁

@jeffqchen Reported for looking like drugs

Making another Am386DX-40 so I can have a backup on hand and put this behind😌

@NES_Professor @mattvanswol well done

🚨#BREAKING: Police in New Bern NC are asking the public's help to identify the two men who cut down a brand-new Flock camera that was just installed. The public allegedly has submitted hundreds of tips by sending in names like "Batman and Robin" and "Lone Ranger and Tonto."

Got all the big bits printed up today for @PointerFunction's RGR ezBuff (optical disc resurfacer / polisher). Waiting for parts to come in, but excited to get this build underway. So far, its coming along great. Very good design. You can tell a lot of thought went into it.

@NES_Professor You can pet the ones in my neighborhood… because people keep giving them donuts. And when you buy donuts, they will follow you home drooling.

Some of the deer here in Hanging Rock park are very chill. This one nearly came right up to me in a parking lot!

@jeffqchen I dabble

@BlueShell3D You are into fixing old broken shits now, eh?🤪

Almost threw in the towel!! 😅 “Untested” Apple II Mouse and Interface Card were both busted! The rom for the card was shy one pin and the mouse’s 5V line was broken inside the strain relief.

@jeffqchen I love that this is slowing driving you mad

So on goes the heatsink with some new thermal tape! It’s finally done, eh? You/I wish🤡

Remember this Am5x86-P75 on a PowerStacker that I fixed? Well, it died. But I fixed it again. The story is very complicated and cursed though🫠 x.com/jeffqchen/stat…
