- I recently hit 3000 subs, Thanks to each and every one of you. Today I went to get the mail, and made you a video. Not all of this will be for repair, but there's a future project in here. I'm experimenting with a couple different fixed camera angles, let me know which you prefer.

The unknown cable is an original xbox breakaway cable.
Tim Bird thanks. I never had an original xbox before, so I had no idea the controllers were designed that way
Cool. I had one. A friend of mine won one of the first 10 available in the UK in a competition. it was so the cable broke if someone walked into it when it was stretched across the room. If I remember right a few of the instruments for things like Rock Band had similar.
I had a dev unit that was fatter/taller than the original and a crystal blue xbox
I got a Real Nice PowerA controller for xbox at a pawn shop for $1 because they didn't know how to hook it up to a xbox Since it was Missing the End. so I got It thinking I could just use a break away end to my normal xbox controller. Well No Such Luck the damn thing was a little bit smaller and wouldn't connect to the Xbox Brand end.
Looks like I was 3 years late... I was gonna tell him lol
Alright you got a tripod! Really liking your channel and love your repair videos
Thanks, glad you like the videos! I need a nice full-motion mount, as I think this is a bit zoomed out. I'd like to be able to move the camera freely while it still staying steady.
I'm glad people like you are out there fixing old stuff , and giving it new life !
Update: finished part one of restoring the nasty dreamcast. It's so long though, trying to trim it a bit then should have it uploaded by tomorrow.
gotta say watching you open and name each wire was therapeutic, I do a lot of flea market shopping for retro goods. def gonna sub
Congrats on the subs, found this channel a few weeks ago and subbed because the video's are fun and informative.
I still have the Dreamcast as number one on my list. Never had one :(
RDJ 134 it's a nice system, too bad that was it for sega. I'd recommend picking one up if you get the chance
I definitly will :)
same
Mystery cord at 14:05 is a breakaway cord for an original xbox controller.
congrats on 3k and these are my favorite videos
hell yea, subbed for some more of that dreamcast action. was gonna point out some controller stuff but looks like everyone beat me to it.
At 13:59, that is an adapter/breaker for an original Xbox controller. The idea was that if you're Playing games and someone walks in front of you and accidentally catches the controller cable, instead of smashing the console into the floor, the controller wire would come apart.
You inspired me to start my own repair project. Thanks!
Awesome! Good luck
Oh, it's going to be a disaster, but I've been wanting to solder again for YEARS.
If you hear shrieking/swearing from west Toronto cursing everything holy and Nintendo, that's me 100%.
Congrats on the 3k!
Hey mate, just saw your channel and few videos and you helped me fix my nintendo from my childhood(wich is awsome). One thing is on my mind when i saw the Sega Saturn discs. I have one with a not working reading head ( sorry if im not saying this right ) but it works without a disc properly. I dont need it any more and if you are interested i can send it to you if you want. Btw your vids are awsome. Keep up the good work :)
Hey, I'm very interested, you can email me at retrorepairsca@gmail.com. I'll try and message you if you've got a contact on your account
Nice haul. Another good video.
Finally you 3k
You should have 10 times as much in my opinion
He has way more than 3k
Great channel. TH-cam recommended it to me last week.
Thanks, and awesome to hear youtube is recommending my videos.
Awesome purchase im sure with some good tlc you might be able to get all 3 dreamcast working
Ruben Mejia hopefully. I plan on tackling one of them today
Libraries in US will sometimes resurface CDs for a couple of dollars. They have the really nice machines to work on their own stock.
the original xbox had quick disconnects in the wiring assuming to keep from damaging the console when tripping over the controller cables.
the shiny bubblewrap is ESD safe bubblewrap for packaging things like PCBs and other sensitive components. It's also available in pink.
MrSkyl1ne interesting. I've also seen similar stuff used inside boxes used to deliver food. The shiny coating helps keep the heat in or out, and the bubble wrap serves as basic insulation
My controller port needs to be replaced on my Dreamcast as well. But since you can't find them, and I don't want to buy a broken one for parts, I found a kit that replaces the busted fuses on it. Hope that works.
love to have that mario game for my super famicom!
ahhhh nice stable video fun channel. nice socks.
Nice video bro, keep up :)
that small adapter at 14:00 is the breakaway cable for an og xbox controller @RetroRepairs
The "xbox adapter" you found is actually part of an oem xbox controller. Microsoft made them so the cord would break away so you wouldn't pull the console off into the floor.
Love the video
The shiny wrap is for circuit boards its anti static
14:01 Thats an original xbox controller breakaway. Been working on my xbox the last few weeks.
looking forward to the repairs
Also i think that PS2 to xbox & usb adapter may be Gamecube as well, not dreamcast, but i could be wrong. i have one similar
Thanks. I've never had an original xbox, so I didn't know the controllers were designed like that.
H2O2 solution great for cleaning plastic
Hello ! Nice stuff you got there !
When it comes to Dreamcast it looks badly, but remember that you got 3 of them, so you can always repaint one to pure white or some other color. A friend of mine had a classic Playstation that got dirty in similiar way, so he repainted it black, to resemble the - back then on top - PS2.
The PS2 controller adapter looks cool, especially when you can use it with DC. Unfortunately it would probably be in use only for arcade games like fighting or racing, since it wont support VMU.
Btw I also subbed to you today. Gotta repair my DC soon. Got the same problem with AV output. I was thinking of modding it and replacing the output with VGA and chinch, but maybe its also the bad connection. Cheers !
KISSbestfan thanks for the comment! It turns out, that adaptor wasn't for dreamcast, but gamecube instead. Similar tips, but I had DC on the mind
fallout 5 looks sick
Every time a dreamcast console doesn’t work i feel sad because it was sega’s last ever console
It is for the Xbox wired controller or Xbox 360 wired
Nice
The mystery cable is to convert a 360 controller to original Xbox 👍🏼
Retrobrite those scuzzy Dreamcast units. ;)
I'm afraid retrobrite might not help. Retrobrite can reverse the natural yellowing from uv, who knows what's gotten to these. Have to clean them up first and see
We're the hell do you get those packages?
got my gen 1 genesis with an after market adapter and shortly after paid for an oem
Japanese version of super Mario all Stars for the super Famicom is super Mario collection
Cool video😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
fails with the multy cord at 19:00 or around there he said dream cast it was gamecube rip!
it's a breakaway cable for the old original Xbox controller
Do you have a link for the 20 Saturn games for $20?
two saturn controllers are easy to come by and there the crapie ones
In other areas, sure, but I'm in a smaller city where you don't see much else other than the super popular consoles like nes, snes, genesis or gamecube. Finding something like an atari 5200, 32x or saturn doesn't happen too often
Where Do you get those things from japan from?
eBay. I throw low bids on a ton of different auctions, and usually end up winning a few at low prices. Japanese games are typically WAY cheaper than the American versions, so if you're the type of collector who enjoys actually playing their games, it's a great way to get some good games and save money. For example, you can get Rockman X2 (Megaman x2) for under $30, while Megaman x2 usually costs closer to $150-200
Definately looks like fire damage, I had that happpen to my SNES when my house caught fire. They might have all been sprayed with a fore hose.
matthew hall Yep, I know the look of soot, had every white console ruined by all the soot. He's lucky it doesn't smell like they usually do
What it looks like to me is that there was probably a fire, then they let everything sit for awhile, eventually the smell goes away, I would be extremely surprised if when the consoles are open if they arent rusted hard inside
matthew hall Insurance threw all my consoles away without me being able to go get them, so I'm not sure if I could've gotten the smell to go away. It's a shame cause I had a few really nice consoles
I hear you, the fire was im the ceiling above me bed, so before I could get in there to rescue much they just piled everything on top of my bed and destroyed 90 % of my belongings. Luckily the next morning after the fire I was able to go in before the cleaners and grab my $800 pc that I built, I actually had to dissamble it and just basically gave everything a bath, hand dry including unseating the processor and ram and GPU, everything got new thermal paste including the GPU etc, it took about 2 months and all the smell came out though.
Poor DC, who did this to you? T_T Somebody didn't play a lot of original Xbox. ^_^ The 3DO has an S-video port right on the machine so it uses generic cables, only cheap part of that platform heh. Sweet Dualshock adapter you got there.
Yeah, I never had an OG xbox, so I had no clue what the controller connections looked like. I was firmly a ps2 guy back in the day.
If it makes you feel any better, I've already started tackling that smoke damaged dreamcast, it looks so much better now. Still alot of work to go though
Well the first time I saw the break-away I was confused but damn if it didn't work, prevented my console hitting the floor many times.
Oh it does, thought that DC might have to be scrapped for parts with smoke damage, that usually ruins most things.
You should try to use a magic eraser, it is really great for removing stains on plastic! Be careful not using it on the decals though…
Timothé Dorez I'm in the process of doing this now. It works fairly well, but that console is very stained
Soaking it into water (few hours) for a long time may help to remove the dirt. Are you going to try to retrobrite it?
Timothé Dorez retrobrite works to reverse the natural yellowing of plastic from uv exposure. This is smoke damage, which is different. I've got it looking MUCH better, but still some work to go. I'm hoping to have the first repair vid for those dreamcasts up by the weekend
Yes I know but it looked yellower than the first one. Is it? I found out that using hydrogen peroxyde to retrobrite Game Boys also helped to remove dirt/stains on the shells…
That triple controller cable is ps2 so you can connect it to the Xbox or pc and the third one is not for the dreamcast it is actually for the gamecube
Be social media Not antisocial media yeah I noticed that after. The two tips are similar, but gamecube is smaller. I just had dreamcast on the mind this video
RetroRepairs I don’t blame you for having the dreamcast on your mind they are a great console i have subscribed to your channel i will be looking forward to you fixes the dreamcast consoles
Be social media Not antisocial media I
rob swift whats that troll
Be social media Not antisocial media what’s what bitch
When will we see the part 3 to nes toploader repair
Retro Kane I need some parts and a solder sucker to come in. Hopefully in about a month
Why do people hate feet in videos? I mean I sometimes make jokes of them but it's okay to have them in the videos. Doesn't really matter if a sock is in a video??
That cable with the Wii, PS3, and XB360 sucks with the component, don't waste your time
Also, the Sony Powerbrick is probably for a PS2 slim, and that cable with the big end, that's for the Original Xbox
Short cord is for an xbox controller
New sub! Where are you from?
Canada
the playstation power supply is for the ps2 slim and the adapter you dodnt know what it was is for the original xbox controller
hard to come by in where your from not in the gta lol
Where do you sell the refurbished consoles?
Usually Facebook or kijiji
RetroRepairs Sorry, I cannot manage to find the links anywhere to your pages.
I don't link them, as at the moment I'm not interested in shipping consoles
Do you sell your refurbs online?
No, just local sales. Online adds a lot of extra costs plus the risk of shipping. As long as I have local people willing to buy, I prefer that
RetroRepairs yeah, makes total sense. Thanks for the reply. I hope to get a Dreamcast soon, maybe can refurb myself!
if one was in a fire, which it looks like, it would make sense that is where the water came from.
I've opened one up, and there's not much for rust and no water inside. I suspect just condensation
No, most fire extinguishers are either co2 or a foam/powder-type substance, which would leave some significant residue.
try taking it apart and use mr cleans magic eraser
That's the plan. Hopefully I can get it out
It's good practice to open devices and inspect them at least visually before powering for the first time.
the old original Xbox has advanced av input that supports S video
I remember when you only had 846 subs
It's crazy, in the last week and a half I've gained almost 2000 subs.. Viewership is taking off
It seems that your getting more views recently, and that's good. Your like RetroGameTech, but still making videos and more newer to retro repairs (on TH-cam at least).
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what happened, I think youtube is suggesting my videos more often now resulting in more views viewership has increased 10x over what it was a few weeks ago.
interesting
Dude you couldn’t pick out an Xbox OG quick release connector.
Never had an og xbox, so no.
There ya go you figured out it was for Xbox! No offense intended. Yo know so many console parts so it confused me that you didn’t recognize it right away. Only one company would make such a stupid connector.
RetroRepairs oh wow! You missed out it was such a fun system. Yeah so the fat and s controllers had this stupid breakaway cable. Worked great with my dog. If you ever soft mod an oh Xbox you can cut the small end off and solder a female usb A cable to the corresponding wires. Then load the game files for splinter cell to a usb drive (there’s a list of pen drives that work with it). Then boom you can soft mod. Hold onto those ends though because I know I’ve bought six of them over the years because they went MIA.
Will do. I picked up a busted xbox that I need to get around to trying to fix
RetroRepairs also so jealous of you getting a hold of dreamcasts. I loved that thing but the two I’ve bought in the past had dead CPUs couldn’t get anything off the data lines on one and the other one actually had burn marks the main CPU
Are you in Canada?
Yessir
RetroRepairs what part? I'm in Buffalo
Matt Hannel northwestern Ontario. Far, far away from buffalo
I'm (very) near Windsor Ontario lol
23:34 DON'T DJ the discs lad !!! I'm like , the only one ever who goes in with both hands and gently pop into spindle .
Also , you're aware about the ports ? Nothing can be fully in I've found , they have to be a little loose to power up
Are you talking about the controller ports? I haven't found that to be an issue with my personal system. In the case of the smoke damaged system, I actually got the controller port working too
Oops should have said yes the control ports . I just got a 'new' Dreamcast as my primary and I've been lightgunning the other one last couple nights . All my controls peripherals need to be a little out not fully in
That's odd, I would think there's an issue with your controller port, maybe the contacts have lost their "spring" action and don't contact the controller very well, as that shouldn't happen.
It's not a resistor it's a 390 mA Picofuse. I am smart :) Hope you get them cleaned up. Maybe you have to replace the thermal pads after that.
It's actually a fusible resistor. They're not really used anymore, so both are kind of correct.
Ah, ok. Thanks :) I put a wire in there XD
Come ON YOU don't know what a XBOX Controller End Looks Like??? Damn
