I'm again, throwing another dead game in my box of dead stuff. I've tried to find ways to repurpose dead gaming stuff but have come to where I've got a lot of no working shit. Anybody else (besides maybe Wiggy :P) have this problem without much of a solution? What do you do with dead stuff? |

You know me :P Just fixed a PAL and U.S. SNES yesterday actually. U.S. SNES had a bad cart port, so I grabbed one from a beyond busted MoBo and swapped it. The PAL SNES blew a cap right off the MoBo. Found a replacement, Retrobright treatment to the shell, BAM! Good as new :) But I do still have box after box of busted consoles that haven't been touched in years :-\ |

I'm pretty good at fixing systems. |

I try to fix them too. Games also. I'll get down with rewiring a bad game if traces are damaged. |

I guess I should have worded it as: What do you do with stuff that's NOT repairable. I've got a small box of games that look like they should work. Clean, and no phsical damage. I'm guessing the chips just shot the shit. I figured I would use the shells to customize other games, or save them in case I run across a working game with a nasty label faded/torn shell. Kinda like my PS1 clocktower game. It wouldn't boot into the main game no matter how much I buffed and cleaned it. Tried it on 5 different PS1's. Finally I just turned it into a clock and hung it on my wall... |
