Can you output audio directly to RCA left right ?
Is part 4 still on the way? This is really a good designcourse.
Clicked the like button, 100% worked! Cheers mate :)
Glad it helped
Not sure if they all ship this way or just the ones from Stone Age Gamer, but I got my board with the pins already soldered to it crooked af. It was a MASSIVE pain removing all the solder from those huge through holes to get them out for mounting on the DC controller board. Would recommend buying direct from Thundertronics (unless they all come this way). He also doesn't explicitly call it out in this video but make sure the black board is pressed as tightly up against the metal controller ports before soldering it in place if you're using a MODE/GDEmu. It's crazy snug in in there with a MODE, if you don't get the black board pressed all the way back you'll need to really wedge the MODE/battery in putting a lot of stress on connectors.
can you send pictures of the problem? latest batch have the pins already soldered to make it easier for people to solder them, can't see why it is a problem? the pins soldered and the plastic parts are from under it... then you slide it in the original controller board and solder. easier than soldering the both boards. i have a mode and it fits reasonably fine.
Will the LAN port still work?? f.e. for OPL SMB additionally or file transfer via Network PC <-> PS2
it has hdd which is the thing i use it for + original means ethernet works!
@@Thundertronics Yeah just bought one and rebuild it to SATA, the LAN works which is awesome. It was a bit of fiddling though, because the most rebuild manuals are for another version (with LAN AND Phone line)
Nice job, but I'm kinda iffy when it comes to cutting parts from the console.
yes but in this mod you are cutting just 1 mm of internal plastic which does not show or do a thing.
Very nice! I just bought a japanese dreamcast from Akihabara on my Japan trip and something like this would be perfect because I live in the EU so mains voltage is ~230V 50Hz.
i have 220v ac myself too. subscribe to the website page of it so you can get notification when it is in stock, 2-3 weeks and it will be ready for shipping.

Your thunderpsu is out of stock everywhere 🫤
i know, i am making a new batch as we speak. in 1-2 months will be available, will try making it faster.
Hey! Do you plan to stock more of these any time soon? Cheers
i am working on it, but will need some time... currently making version 2 of it and will test it before making quantity.
@@Thundertronics Great! Thanks a lot for getting back to me 😊
This is one hell of a video I have never spent so much time watching it. Good tutorial !!!
Glad you liked it!
Good lecture thorough and detailed
thank
I disabled the 12V on my original PSU to reduce heat when using GDEMU. It's good that 12V functionality can be retained with this new PSU while staying cool, even if 12V doesn't seem to be required for most scenarios. One thing I'm curious about is the connector which attaches to the pins on the motherboard. On the original PSU I've had to adjust it to grip the pins tighter, to remedy the issue of the console rebooting itself.
even after 12v removal, original psu will produce heat, a lot of it. this psu does not require anything to work, just a simple push in.
Many bravos!
thanks
Works as advertised! My ThunderPSU came in today, delivery to Europe took exactly 1 week. It stays cool (after 3h -> still room temp, whereas my original PSU would get quite hot very quickly). As a nice bonus I no longer see any interference (noise) in my captured videos! I am running my DC with a MODE btw With that said, I'm very happy, that is all 😃
same reply as discord = same love from me.
They seem to be sold out everywhere. I would like to buy one, is there gonna be a restock?
yes there will be restock but will take time due to materials shortage. i am working on making it more available. you can register in the website via email maillist to be notified when it is ready
@@Thundertronics Thanks for the quick response! I'll keep an eye out and get one when they are available
Bro put instrumentation video part 4
in my mind bro, just so busy now. i need to go to my work factory to shoot it xD. soon i hope
Out of stock after 1 day... I will cry now in the shadows quietly 😭
sorry to read this, but i am working hard now to get more manufactured. thanks for your attention
@@Thundertronics amd I am happy you have customers for this ❤I'll happily wait and you Sir - take your time manufacturong this awesome peace of tech!
I hope something like this will be designed for the ps1. This powersupply sounds amazing
right now i am doing a design for saturn, will take some time. will also do v2 of this DC one to lower cost. ps1 is on the radar but i don't have information about how ps1 psus fail and why would people change them
What a pointless effort. For 25 years I've never ever seen a single one dead original Dreamcast's PSU. Dried out capacitors - veeeery rare but yes, oxidised power contacts - yes. And this is pretty much all of the problems, wich you can fix once and forget about it for another 25 years. Neither using GDEMU nor USB GDRom doesn't harm Dreamcast's PSU don't get yourself fooled. Also there is no point on using that large capacity RTC battery, because of nasty flaws of the Dreamcast's BIOS code - after several month of idle Dreamcast will ask you to set the date and time no matter of battery state. It can be near at full charge, but after several month of idle you will be asked to set the time and date either way. So it's another useless mod.
useless in your opinion, but many others see it useful. you clearly didn't see the video where i talked about the features and why you would and wouldn't want to get it. DC PSUs do fail and they have their problems, they are not immune. ultimately it is a choice people make, and this PSU is objectively the best performing one... price-wise it is expensive and I am working on a rev2 which will reduce the cost a lot. battery mod is a highly requested mod and solves the problem, no one witnessed the bios fault you speak about and even so this mod still benefit you.
@@Thundertronics it is pointless from a common sense point of view, not only just mine. In fact the single benefit is that it's much cooler than original PSU, what actually never was a problem. As of the battery mod, you leave your Dreamcast with that super useful battery mod installed for a 3 month, then measure the RTC voltage and turn it ON - you will be surprised. And by saying to leave the Dreamcast for a 3 month, I mean that you shouldn't turn it ON whole that time to trigger the BIOS glitch.
hello, can you tell me more about this bios glitch? i want to read about it since i found one of my devices reset time after 2 months or so. I am really surprised since no one reported this so far. please guide me to links where this is explained.
@@Thundertronics as far as I know it wasn't explained anywhere. The only explanation was given in the Dreamcast instruction manual as a natural RTC battery discharge. Perhaps no one reported this due to assumptions that the battery was the cause, which is not quite true.
Just want to confirm Is this PSU safe when using the GDEMU? Thanks!
yes
Just ordered one from your website. My VA0 Dreamcast with MODE it's kind hot to the touch after some sessions. Hope it reduce the temperatures in the shell
thanks! this PSU will eliminate all heat not just reduce them... ofc within reason. i hope you enjoy it
Will you design for other consoles that could use similar replacements? I don't like those USB based PSUs that are super noisy. Such as Saturn? PS1/PS2? og Xbox?
I have a plan for Saturn now, working on it.
If I'm not wrong the OG Xbox is not Bivolt. Given that would be great if we have a PSU that we can use on both 220V and 110V units.
Hello, Just ordered one of these beasts. I assume this has full compatibility with Terraonion MODE? I dont see a reason why this PSU couldnt handle any/all mod combinations. But just wanted confirmation that it supports MODE.
i do have mode personally and it is fine with both original and this psu. have fun!
Thank you for the information, please what software is this?
this is autocad plants 3d
it is been feature in retrorgb: www.retrorgb.com/thunderdream-dreamcast-replacement-psu.html
Found this from there, Congrats, This is an excellent mod. Thank you
Any chance you would make your products available at EU resellers?
video game perfection agreed to have my advanced controller board. as for psu, you can buy from my website directly and i ship via dhl quickly, you just pay vat.
I would love to buy this. When will it be back in stock?
soon. it is being made
What mod is being used with that large battery? If that’s for the date and time battery Ivwould like to try it too
the one you commented on in the other video.
Will they be back in stock?
yes for sure. check the website in a month or so.
I out here watching because I just got offered a position as an instrumentation engineer in an oil & gas company (I'm a Petro. Eng.). At least, now I have an idea what the position is about. Don't know how much is actually related, I still appreciate your video, anyway.
if you need anything just send to me here and i will help you.
hey thanks. Can I ask you something? Could you please try some games via OPL?? specially Out Run 2006, and tell me if this way the IN game music (while racing) actually sounds?? I've got the generic sata adapter and dome games like that an Klonoa 2 got sound issues, and some other games suffer from stutering. I'm about to plug the sata conector fron that generic adapter to an original ps2 network adapter (i'm looking for the propper screwdriver first, that with star shape, to be able to do it) Could you try if this solve this problem and answer (if you don't know the answe already)? I'd be really glad.
it is about opl compatibility not about the mod
Very enlighten lecture❤❤❤❤
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this guide.
Any time
Great review, thank you
i hope you liked it
هل تعمل على سوني ٣ ؟
أظن ممكن
Finally someone who fixes this problem! Since they are sold out right now, when will the boards be available for purchase again? Can't wait to install one 😄
it is available now from: stoneagegamer.com/sega-dreamcast-advanced-controller-board.html right now
@@Thundertronics Thanks! Am I understanding this right, that the solder pins are included?
just bought one for clonehero
the battery contacts will become short circuited if the protective heatshrink of the 18650 breaks as it's outer casing is bonded to the negative polarity, so it might be a good idea to put some heatshrink on the side panels of the metal contacts that hold the battery in place
you could do that for sure, won't cost the end-user anything. however, i really doubt anything like this can happen. you just put the battery once and leave it, really zero change it could happen. now if the user was extra violent and scratched it, then it is completely his fault. these battery contacts are made by keystone, very original and high quality. thus, they know what they are doing. if they cause such harm then no one would buy them but as said, this is beyond extreme case... it is rather abuse on purpose. i could use plastic holders but that would cost a lot. plus, this mod is not just for 18650 batteries! ANY 3.7v li ion battery can be used for sure... if it withstands 200mA charging current which almost all of them do. thanks for your comment! really nice point!
why is there 6khz hum in background
well, not optimal setup for video recording since this is my lab. but overall audio is very clear
Great review video! This was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
COOL PROJECT... SO YOU KNOW HOW TO DESIGN THE CONTROLLER BOARD, BUT NO IDEA HOW TO SOLDER STRAIGHT?
i thought i soldered it straight, i even looked at my own DC and it was straight. during the video i was more interest in capturing footage, but i also said you need to make it straight which means keep adjusting the joints... this cannot be captured by camera. the mod is in stock if you want it
your accent is like Abdo from ownage pranks 😂
i don't know who is that but maybe a link from you will help? focus on the great mod that i designed rather than this
I tried the code with PIC16F1508 on proteus. It gave errors with LCD_Write_String(). I had declare the function. However it doesn't work.
There are many versions of LCD.h available. Which version are you using ?. This file is not included in the provided link.
You should change battery + terminal to a different one. Now it is a fire hazard! Any small tear in plastic wrap of battery will result a short between terminals.
that is over-exaggeration since no one will tear the wrap and it wont move by itself. other holders exist but 5 times the price, also this one is high quality keysone one... meaning this is the intended usage, but overall really liked your critic... it helps me
Great Good Work Guy
Thanks! ii hope this mod helped u
Thank you , good explanation ,easy to understand..
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video and good english even as no native speaker i could understand everything
thanks, hope you liked the mod.
