I saw an auction of someone selling a PS3, he said it was defective cause he couldn't get any video signal out of it. I studied the pictures closely and noticed 3 bumps on the plastic piece on the left side of the disc slot..you know what that means right? The backwards compatible model..so I thought that I might as well buy it, just in case the seller maybe didn't even try the video output reset etc...so it arrived today..

The system, a copy of FO New Vegas and...PS Move Starter Disc + PS Eye..

As expected, the video output reset didn't help with HDMI...it turned out however, that the AV port still works..and that's just what I need, cause I only keep my PS3 hooked up to my Intensity Pro anyway. So a functioning (except HDMI port ) backwards compatible PS3 for about 30 bucks...
I am in super hyper

mode right now, time to enjoy some 24 fps Fallout just for happiness.

Purchased my first Hot air rework station today, its not a hakko but I believe it will do what I need it to. Read some reviews on it, which seem to be mostly good. If it can do what I seen in this youtube video I'm golden, and it will make life alot easier

I bought a dreamcast and two controllers for $20 while checking out the goodwill auction website. I'm looking into the IDE modification someone linked me earlier(its very...bulky apparently).

So I received that dreamcast and peeled off the obtrusive sticker hiding any info on the console past the fact that it was made in 1999. That dreamcast I bought turned out to be a revision 0. I also found a VMU in one of the controllers. Way better deal than I previously thought.

Spoiler: huge image

Oh I guess I should also mention that I bought some more wire for a project I'm working on.

A complicated piece of electronic apparatus.

Also, if your image is HUGE can you either resize or use spoiler tags? Ta.

I found this on DeviantArt, it looks quite nice in my opinion.
Delta Red Cammy looks better than the Shadaloo variant, to me.
I used this thread as a desktop show-off before, so I decided to do that, again.

If you want to add me on PSN: Cammy740106 (I made that account a few days ago to replace my old account, which I have had for around 2 years or so)

Going back to my roots a bit. Been craving GBA nostalgia and picked up some real goods.
Including a Mother 3 translation cart. Sweet.

Oh and also this.

Not a bad mov.

Here's some of my recent stuff..

I got another fat 60gig PS3 cause I found it cheap and it's in excellent condition, everything works

I also got a SwapMagic so that I can boot OPL2 on the PS3 and network load PS2 games. So far I've managed to get OPL running and see all my games but no luck booting them yet, working on it If anyone have experience with OPL2 on PS3, please throw me a PM

And a US Pokémon Y cart cause it was really cheap, probably because it won't normally play on European systems

And someone was selling a slim PS2 with some accessories for about 15 bucks which for me was a must buy cause I don't come across such deals that often and I want another PS2 for my bedroom B^)

A SCPH-70004 Slim system, 2 official DualShock2's (at least I think the clear one is official, unless it's one of those copycats I mentioned later in this post , haven't tested it yet), one third party abomination controller, PES2008, Asterix & Obelix XXL2, Maximo Army of Zin and another PES that I'm never gonna touch and I already forgot which one it is. Also came with 2 sets of AV cables, a power adapter, and for some fucking reason a 2xRCA > 3.5mm cable..........
Sadly either the power plug on the system or the cable is loose, so the cable has to be in a certain position or it doesn't connect, hopefully it's just the cable. Of course it had to be the model that uses those yellow small plugs rather than the standard 2 pin fat connector, oh well.
Edit: It was the port itself, it was easy to repair though, just resoldered all the connectors pins to the mobo and now it's perfect

I was so stoked that I finally found a new white DS3 for a good price so I bought this

As soon as I held it it felt weird, plastic felt cheap and the analog sticks felt stiff. Not only is it a third party controller but a gross copy, unlike other third party controllers that are up front with it with their ugly "P3" button and the like, these guys nailed every fucking detail aesthetically. All logos, labels, screws etc are in the right place, even says Sony Computer Entertainment Inc on the back, it has the reset-button hole but guess what? It's empty. So disappointed now, I miss my white DS3

Gonna make sure I get a refund for that shit.

Give it a go. Have you tried just applying new thermal paste to the GPU and CPU?
Disassemble and reassembly are a pain IMO just because it takes so long, even when you know exactly how to do it.

I just might. I remember years ago I sent it in to get fixed and they told me that they couldn't fix it but I mean if I try it myself it won't be that expensive and I did read about it before and the process isn't hard. Just need to re-read
