    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.

    • @Thundertronics
      @Thundertronics Před 2 dny

      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.

    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.

    • @Thundertronics

    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.

    • @Thundertronics
      @Thundertronics Před 2 měsíci

      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.

    • @daneeall
      @daneeall Před 2 měsíci

      @@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.

    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

    • @Thundertronics
      @Thundertronics Před 4 měsíci

      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!
