I bought my first* Playstation 2 in 2023
It's been 22 years in the mighty PS2 arrived on the scene, so I figured it was time to finally see what all the fuss was about.

Sega SC-3000 - RGB Upgrade!

Sega's first foray into the world of computers was the SC-3000, based on their console of the time, the SG-1000. Unsurprisingly for the day, it's limited to either RF or (poor) composite video. But we can do better!

SMD soldering is something I avoid. You can blame my 44 year old, well caffeinated hands and eye sight for that. But whilst looking for a microscope to help, Andonstar offered to send me this one!

Congrats Jason! Your videos are great as always! Come back soon! 👍
Great video, I purchased one today, found a great deal on eBay. This is my first Dick Smith system. Do you offer a service to do the A/V mod? I'm in Melbourne.
The Atari 800 was not cheap because it was built like a tank; literally. I love many retro consoles and computers, but the original holds a very sweet place in my heart. There isva big upgrade path for the 800, which I have purchased, but jot added yet.

Because the disk controller is _not_ built-in, there are some restrictions on what it can do - essentially, a cartridge based floppy addon has to remain compatible with MSX-1, and because of that, the ROM's used reflect that too, which is why some disk games wont work (basically they are v1 Disk ROMs) - _internal_ floppy controller, totally different story, also usually _not_ v1 Disk ROMs
For anyone watching this since then, a site called console5 has tons of vectrex parts. Springs, all labels, new cable.
My first full time job was at Microbee in Melbourne with a younger Ewan.
The legendary Gamma! Was the next big thing in 1988 :)
The lynx 2 was too far and grubby the lynx 1 I had when they first came out more of a nice fit for cases without the heavy bulge
There are some spectacular games in the CPC homebrew scene, which is still very much alive. There are plenty of tools and tutorials around as well, and programming the CPC is a lot of fun.
Great video, man! Lurch, what is your real name?
If possible, try to get Zaxxon and play it. Great game it was! ❤
Zaxxon was a great game in the 80s. I had a CoCo II 64K RAM at home.
You can tell this Speccy didn't belong to urchins. The lack of finger gravy on the dead flesh keys could only mean the owner was conscious of personal hygiene. My old Speccy was filthy. I cleaned it in 2016 and instantly regretted removing its unique patina. All that dirty history lost.
please Put Decepticon logo's sticker on his chest..😅❤❤
I have an old Dunjonquest: Temple of Apshai cassette for the Atari.
A few games supported the Amstrad joystick port. The DOS port of Driller for one.
I won that at the arcade for 8,000 tickets and even though i lost the tv cable i do enjoy it
😂😂 funny I had my for years never a problem dont buy it of get it free then ....ok rule
s the entrance to my own rabbit hole back in the late 70s. Happy days.
