Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

I did find one for the BEAN boards here. Allegedly the chips from different revisions of the board are compatible.
It's worth noting that it might be easier (and potentially a lot cheaper) to find another game with the same board and cannibalize that.
This is a good website for finding what kind of donor you'd need.
Oh wow pricey! Was hoping I could find them for a dollar or two. My preference is to not detroy another original just to save these. Only one of them seems to be worth anything (Gargoyle’s quest) the other two are common inexpensive games so likely not worth destroying another game of like value. Thanks for looking tho
I'm not big on harvesting from original cartridges either, but I can understand using something like a Mary-Kate and Ashley game to restore a Pokémon cart.
