I recapped, did an FRAM mod & a 50/60hz refresh rate modification in this PAL #Sega Saturn with a Terraonion MODE. I then used it to create a new Topvint City! 🤯

Feels like summer was just yesterday, but the Christmas Holiday notice just gone up in the shop. There is still a fair amount of time but do consider the cut off time if you are interested in my send-in services or mods. As always, thank you for your support

This #GameGear had no sound and you could hardly see the screen. I recapped it and I also replaced the screen for an IPS panel.

Got a new shipment of Raspberry Pi Picos, so the stock has now been updated to reflect that.
So far has sent to Germany, Poland, Greece and the US (apart from UK of course). Wondering if the demand will continue 🤔😅

Bought this off Facebook & I noticed the fan & other side was dirty & also the controller/memory card panel was really discoloured so I sent it to @topvint.co.uk to get cleaned & they totally transformed it
Brilliant customer service & brilliant job 🖤 Thank You 🤍

The installation instruction of the PicoLoader advice you to solder the Raspberry Pi and diode once the flex is in place in the Cube. While this is a relatively easy solder, you can indeed install a PicoLoader with a pre-soldered Raspberry Pi and diode, already screwed into the 3D-printed bracket 😁

I refurbished (yet another) #OGxbox , but this time with a bit of a twist. It has an interesting modchip and software in it which I want to preserve.
Want to see how I made sure is in great condition but keeping the original character? check below 👇

I fixed the audio issues of this Panasonic FZ-1 by recapping the console. While the console was powering on, I also discovered some leakage in the caps around the power circuit.

Build the second best vga dongle from the sensation Jeff Chen dongle series.
The Dreamcast one that can do up to 480p for games that support that and have a bunch of different sync options to connect on different devices. Pretty neat 😎
