Caverns of Titan wouldn’t start without a Super Game Module, so I built one: 32KB of SRAM, an AY-3-8910A and eleven logic chips, plus a thermal camera fault-find.
A Japanese FZ-1 mainboard with a 240p switch becomes the heart of my Ultimate 3DO. First, a thermal health check, drive tests and two capacitor swaps.
A gifted Atari 130XE shows nothing at power on. A thermal camera finds RAM running hot enough to boil water, but replacing it wasn’t the end of the story.
A phone-sized thermal camera with a macro lens, pointed at a freshly repaired Sony HitBit MSX2. Can it pick out hot chips, and are its readings accurate?
