Thanks a lot for the kind words. Im pretty busy here like anyone else but I still want to try to find time to make videos when I can. I appreciate all of the support from those who still watch and Ill continue to upload when I can
It's amazing to me how dedicated you have been to your content over all these years! Your channel is a real gem, never stop being original, I've followed this channel from what I believe may have been 2010! great content then and still amazing content now! :)
Thanks a lot for that. These videos are rough, uncut, unedited and raw. Nothing fancy here but Im just glad that people like yourself Bryson still watch. Take it easy and like always Ill put up another video here soon so, thanks for watching!
Wow toki is obscure.. nice rescue.. Those little custom boards are a PITA - big in the 80's, and the resin they are coated in degrades becoming conductive. sometimes you can cure major issues by removing the coating (soak for a week in Acetone aka nail varnish remover) but this can also remove some of the SMD parts or tracks if you try to peel them too early. great that people are making new non-suicidal versions of the boards, lots of classic electronics from the 80's lives on because of them!!
Nice! Hey, Luke, it definitely made my day seeing a video from you pop up in the sub box! Nice work salvaging this board and thanks for sharing the recap of your repair log with us!
I always hate the bridged connections. I had a Cave board to repair and the dude tried to reflow it himself and he didn’t remember which ones were bridged before hand. Luckily someone snapped a pic of their working board and I was able to reconnect them.
what a cool video! I enjoy watching the process of diagnosing the board and getting a fix rigged up! .... had to say yikes! regarding the thing with the screws and the feet burning that corner part of the board... that doesn't sound safe! looking forward to seeing some gameplay later on!
Loved this game in the Arcade in the early 90s sadly the Mega Drive version is different. I’m hoping they included the Arcade version in the Toki Remake for the Switch.
Aren't these custom ic's roms or are they mini cpu's? Im assuming they can't be dumped and thrown on a new chip. Also the guy that was mentioned making the custom ic's can he make c64 SID chips?
Usually when they are in those epoxy blob packages, they are "hybrids". So, the RGB DAC will probably have some digital buffers, then resistor ladders for each colour channel, then possibly a few opamps for the analog video outputs. (So a hybrid between analog and digital. I think many of them use a ceramic substrate, too.)
I like the original more than the new remake. The remake looks less attractive to me. Lukemorse1 do you actually have any knowledge about Sony Blu ray players lenses? Particularly the BDP-SX1?
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "we missed you".

thanks for more great videos,, I just keep learning more and more from your videos.
Talk about some serious detective work to get these things working. Good job as always saving another one.

You deserve at least a minimum of 50000 views.
great video, great to see you again man
It's nice that you were able to get this thing working again. ^^ Good job!
Good to see another thorough repair, Luke! Thanks for the vid!

Yeah, you're back!!
Fantastic work Luke
Back again Luke here, missed your videos.
Pop in that video, and watch some of that!
Wow, impressive work! I get a headache just thinking about trouble shooting this stallion.
Yes Lukes back!
I've never been this early to a lukemorse1 video
Luke has returned!
Welcome back!

Toki was an awesome game!
Welcome back luke,great video,we missed ya :)
happy console gamer brought me here,anyway ...awesome chanel
That’s a Lukey repair if I ever did see! 😊
what a cool video! I enjoy watching the process of diagnosing the board and getting a fix rigged up! .... had to say yikes! regarding the thing with the screws and the feet burning that corner part of the board... that doesn't sound safe! looking forward to seeing some gameplay later on!
I've missed the repair vids!!
Awesome. New video to play the “None the Less” drinking game with 😉
Nice repair there Luke. Toki loved this game as a kid. Wasn't the game called JuJu Densetsu in Japan at least I think it was.
I wonder how many of those custom QFPs are just glue chips?
I think this would had been an excellent Neo-Geo game.
The Atari Lynx version of Toki is not bad comparing it to the arcade original.
Phew, cost reduction to the max it looks like when they designed this.
I always thought bridged connections was a huge no-no when soldering, guess it depends on the chip
Loved this game in the Arcade in the early 90s sadly the Mega Drive version is different. I’m hoping they included the Arcade version in the Toki Remake for the Switch.
Wow a new Luke video!
Luke long time no speak, hope you are well. What do you think of new toki remake.
can we have a video on how you connect your pcb for testing etc

Oh. I hadn't watched all of the vid when I first replied. Yeah - that's definitely a ceramic one at 9:00 lol

Long time no see.
Luke i sent you a Facebook message last night through messenger , you may want to check it out
