Finally got round to ordering a replacement soldering station. This time I got a proper rework station complete with desoldering gun. My old kit was getting a bit warn out. This should save me loads of time when working on console repairs and replacing through hole caps.
It’s like a new toy at Christmas.
Just uploaded a some photos and info on my last commission job. Full capacitor replacement on a NEC Super CD-Rom2 unit.

A good friend of mine has designed and produced a set of Amiga retro styled T-Shirts.
|
They are available in 4 sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.
Colour options: Black, White and Grey.

All designs are original and are Silk Screened printed on to high quality cotton/bamboo blended material. This material gives a high quality feel that’s breathable and very comfortable.
Pricing for any size and colour combination is £9.99
Ever heard of Sonic 3 Complete? Its a combination Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles with loads of additions, tweaks and fixes. I’ve just got this working by programming a new EPROM and installing in a donor PCB.

Just finished with another installation of the Unibios on a AES system.
|
|
Along with the Universe Bios install, I was asked to resolve the Jailbar lines in the RGB video, and correct the flipped stereo signal from the headphone port. This is one neat AES console now.
Just uploaded a quick review of the 161-in-1 MVS multigame cartridge.

I’ve been playing around making my own English copy of Mario RPG for SNES. Also a Star Fox 2 cartridge while I was at it.

8Bitplus had teamed up with Razoola from the Universe Bios (Unibios) project for Neo-Geo as an Official 3rd Party installer.

I can now provide and install the official Unibios chip when you send your system to me. This covers the full MVS range, AES and CD systems. All installations by myself are fully tested and completed to a high standard.
Please note I only provide the Universe Bios when installing. I don’t offer them for sale individually.
If you have a Neo-Geo and would like an Official Universe Bios installing, please contact me here.
Also, please checkout some of my latest Unibios installations.

I just got my first Universal Programmer last week, and thought for a test run I’d make a SuperCIC ship for my SNES.
All that’s needed is a PIC16F630 and the Lock code from the developers site. All credit to Ikari_01 for the time and skills to reverse engineer the Nintendo CIC Lockout device.

So this mod allows me to remove my existing 50/60hz and CIC disabling switches. Its a fully switchless mod using the reset button to change modes. SuperCIC also allows full compatibility between PAL and NTSC games and behaves just as either of the original CIC chips.
Expect more BIOS and EPROM programming projects to feature here soon….
