This one video has everything, most Hallmark and other sappy crappy "wholesome" happy stories with lessons, type movies DON'T HAVE. A dream. A struggle. Learning process. A mistake then fix. A happy ending that would make any of us who grew up playing games, super dooper happy. I would watch this every Christmas and Thanksgiving over any of those sappy movies. 🤣
I think at this point the 'ultimate' PS1 is a modded 5500 series... you can do Xstation, Retro Gem HDMI, controller reset, Pico PSU or RePSX PSU, Blue Retro / Brooks / 8bitdo wireless adapters. To top it off add a GameShark on the parallel port.
Great video. When I watched your Ultimate PS2 video I trying to find a blueretro receiver like you got, but after some time I saw that 8bitdo released a Bluetooth receiver for the PS1 and PS2, and got that for my PS2 system. Looking forward to your next video.
You should get easier soldering result with other "thiner" tips, the "knife" types allow you to do thin and large soldering, btw the cpu on your 550x should be salvageable but it would need some grinding on the black part to expose the "inside" pads and soldering small patch wires from it to the pcb, it's doable with your microscope / camera, and the 1000 series may have the color banding problem of the first ps1 series that was "fixed" at the end of the 1000 series and the next ones, not terrible but looks better on the fixed ones
Been thinking about getting a RetroTink scaler as well lately. I recently picked up a PS2, Xbox 360 Slim, and a Wii and have been going back and forth between getting a scaler to use with my 4K TV in the living room or just getting a cheap CRT off of FB marketplace. The 360 already has HDMI out, so I would really only be using it for 2 consoles. My question is: what is your solution for switching consoles while using a scaler? Do you have a composite switch that runs to the RetroTink, or do you just manually unplug/plug the consoles to the scaler? Is a switch something that you should even do? Or should I just get a CRT with 2 or 3 composite inputs and call it a day? Only downside there is that the CRT will be taking up a lot more space, and I would need a whole new setup for the CRT + my 4K TV. Any advice you guys could offer?

Never never thro away a game or console I regret throwing every game or console I've binned lol

I knew I was forgetting a link in the description! Thanks for the reminder. I’ve heard good things about the 8bitdo one too
Where to buy the clear shell
As a dentist, I laughed. Good work, man! 😂

I use a composite switch. Probably hurts the image quality a bit but I don’t notice it
Massive thank you for this.
The ending 😂
Hey... Jake, I'm expecting some packages in the mail, could ya... maybe give them to UPS?
