Four X

Four X

Hi my name is Four X (Phil)

I love nothing more than fixing broken retro systems mainly consoles and old computers, I also love modding them too.

I also love watching other KZread repair and modding channels in my spare time.

I hope I can teach you something on our journey together but most off all we have some fun. Please drop a like and maybe subscribe to my channel, that would make my day.

Thanks Four X ;-)

    The stock Amiga A1200 has 2MB of Chip (System), That can't be expanded even with an accelerator card. But the PiStorm32-Lite (CM4) has given me 1.8GB of fast RAM, Wow.

    Great video. Many thanks. Still, I have a question for you. I have a slightly different model, the one with blue reset switch and a sliding power switch. Board is also somewhat different. It has two power rectifiers, for example and Sony video-chip. Here's the picture : i.postimg.cc/G2gJT2mJ/IMG-20240509-034026.jpg But still, I have the same issue with twiching picuture on Samsung LCD TV. Tried RF connection and scart, which is a little better, but still not usable. Can you please tell me that your mod is applicable on this version of MD2 and full specification of the capacitor used (220mf, but how many volts) and the resistor (how many ohms)?

    Just to say make sure you use the the newest version of HXC floppy emulator as earlier version would not convert the IPF to hfe, I found the solution for me was to use the latest version of HXC software and it will work then, just thought I would mention it here in case other people have the problem

    Nice demo. If you update to the latest version of CaffeineOS you will get even better compatibility with games and demos, as it includes the WHDLoad Wrapper which applies the optimal settings for WHDLoad and Emu68 when a game/demo is run. The database for it are updated regularly as more stuff is tested

    Does this dvd drive now read original games too? Because i have ltu2 pcb and placed in a dg-16d4s , i installed the firmware got the same result as you did , the only thing i did not do is not clicking multiple times on outro in jungle flasher. Now the result is i got a dvd drive that closes the disc tray partially , when i touch the open tray button it opens super fast, and to make it read cds i have to push the tray manually , it begins to read and pops up the xbox360 message which says that this disc is not compatible , even for original cd games . Any idea what could be wrong? I want to try again with another board , kinda scary :D

    Thanks for the video and realising your hard work. I'm a bit confused how the actual microscope holder mounts to the boom arm. I have an Elgato wave arm high rise boom arm, it came with a 3/8 adapter. I don't understand how this Mount secures onto the 3d printed part, as the bottom doesn't have a hole? Only the top bit so it looks like its just floating.

    Phil this was exactly the video that I was looking for. I've got a SCPH 1002 model which I've bought in 1997. The laser became faulty and I have just decided to buy a chinese BAM440 model laser reader. I have applied it to the system and it doesn't read anything. And even the spindle stopped turning after I tried to eleveate the spindle as it came tight out of the box. So how to do all this at home without machines such as yours available, would you suggest an easy way if there is any? Thanks for your time.

    That's only relevant if you're using a SCART cable since it need 12V. In NTSC part of the world, most people will use either regular RCA cable, or VGA or HDMI adapter. And yes VGA and HDMI use the 5V only, not 12V.

One day last year, my kids decided to try and go online and now I'm getting a message of it trying to do a firmware upgrade, will not play my backups anymore. What do I need to do to reflash the board for the drive?
