With the holidays upon us I finally have time to tackle bigger projects that have been shelved for lack of time. I also have a bunch of family commitments and other things going on, so I'm really hoping to at least get one project done before the new year.

Since I've still been waiting for parts and things to arrive, I decided to tackle a little refurb project that's been sitting on the sidelines for a few months. If you're interested, check it out here: youtu.be/cAf7rPGFoPQ

In case you missed this week's project, I revisited my old #N64 to USB adapter (using a raspberry pi pico) and did it a bit better this time. See the full vid here:

And the hits just keep on coming: My multimeter's shot. Can anyone recommend a decent one? Preferably budget-friendly, but I'll go for better quality vs price if it means I won't need to replace it as soon.

So turns out my main video storage/editing hard drive failed and I've lost whatever content I hadn't backed up. Couple that with the Canada Post strike and all the components I've ordered are in mail limbo. Hopefully I can pick up a new drive and get back to creating before the end of the month

Happy 42nd anniversary (at least, for the Japanese release date) to my very first console, the NES! I absolutely adored that console (Super Mario 1,2, and 3. Duck hunt, Mega Man 2, and so many other titles with massive nostalgia for me). What's your go-to NES game?

Once again, it's the first Tuesday of the month so a new vid is dropping! I finally decided to stop using AA batteries in my N64 rumble paks. If you're curious how to do the same mod, check out the vid: youtu.be/sUxY-bk55ts

I wanted to fix my copy of #pokemon yellow after I noticed the save file was gone and it wouldn't keep a new save, so here's that: youtu.be/i-xS5KHjiJ4 hopefully it helps if you've also got a #gameboy, #gbc, or #gba game that's not saving

Anyone got recs for some good, lesser known NES games to revisit? I'm in the mood for a retro night and I'm queuing up Power Blade, Terra Cresta, and I could use a third.

Finally decided it was time to replace my OEM #n64 control stick. It had a good loooooooong run, but lost too much range of motion from plastic wearing itself down. So I grabbed a new stick module, swapped it, and recorded the whole thing. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsL5...
