Builds & Mods
DIY retro builds and modifications: flash carts and multicarts, diagnostic cartridges, controller adapters, video and region mods, kits and PCBs built from scratch.
-
Samurai Warrior was never released on cartridge, so I built one from C64iStanbul’s three-chip board, a burned 27C512 and Marko Šolajić’s Magic Desk project.

A Fenrir-equipped PAL Sega Saturn gets a switchless multi-region 50/60Hz mod, a snapped PSU board repair and a soapy bath, then a before and after test on real games.
-
A dusty Saturn from Mike Dailly gives a black screen. I track down the fault, then fit a Fenrir ODE, update its firmware and test European, US and Japanese games from SD card.
-
A C64C with noisy jailbars gets a Lumafix64: built from a PCBWay board (with plenty of mistakes), fitted between the VIC-II socket and chip, then adjusted.

A step by step XStation optical drive emulator install in an original PlayStation SCPH-5552, from lifting IC701 pins to the first boot from SD card.
