Thanks for watching!
Im the guy who recommended for you to check the brazillian service manual, good to see that it will result in a translated manual for everyone fixing snes's. That priority table is a must have in conjunction of the burn-in cart. In my experience fixing snes's, Mario Kart, Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country are the ones that most easily show you faults related to PPU/CPU and VRAM (even the misterious ones the burn-in test doesn't catch) , so always have them nearby.
Yes you were, and thank you! It's certainly a handy resource. I did translate the burn in priority table when you pointed towards it last year, but I was curious to know what else was in there, so it needed to be done
It's always a pleasure to see SNES repairs, especially when they're successful. Really neat work. ✌
I’ve never seen bouncy mode 7, or erratic controller inputs like that. I’ve had bad mode 7 in various other ways, and I’ve had CPU fails with controller inputs, but never with the controller idle. Very good to know. Good job 👍
Hey PunkNDisorderlyGamer, really cool to see you here in the comments 😄
Playtronic was the official distribuitor for Nintendo products in Brazil. Tec Toy for Sega.
Love the use of fume extractor!
PPU failures on the older 2-chip revision is quite common
Maybe it's worth checking the chip legs and reflow them before replacing them.
I think maybe you should try resoldering the chips before they are condemned. Might be throwing out some good chips unless you are doing it later. In vehicle diagnostics if there are multible indiscript errors there is often a power supply problem, I dont know if that applied here.
even though the manual says to change ppu-1 on that high ram failed board i think you should try changing the sram first if only because it seems like it's something you have more of
That limitation of formatting FAT32 is removed in Windows 11 and you can now format up to 2TB.
But who cares when you can use Rufus ...
I heard there was an update coming to allow for it, but at least on my system it was still limited to 32
You should be able to fat32 from the disk management console (right click start)
Last time I checked it was still limited to 32gb, but I know windows 11 is finally receiving an update to allow larger than 32.
Have you tried using the more paste-like/gel flux? That liquid flux seems to be spent very quickly.
I find the liquid does a better job with fine pitch stuff, even though it doesn't last long. But I have a litre of it so not going to run out anytime soon
😢I was across getting some pizza so instead of your cookie you may have 🍕
Thanks, I just had some 🍕
Buuuuut WHY sacrifice that snes that is now functionning ?????
I was thinking the exact same thing.
FAIL on only ONE of two RAM chips more likely points to that particular chip. A failure somewhere outside the RAM chip (on the data bus) will influence BOTH RAM chips.
i wonder if the cpu was bad or if the issue was the cart port
Definitely the CPU
Mark stop cheating with Mr lurch on your wife mate (pun)
Sounds like you're more in love with Lurch than I am 😄😉
@@TheRetroChannel Rofl bro nice come back owned
28:26 Not exactly another program to format SD card over 32GB. GUI doesn't let you but from a command line you can format larger drives / SD cards as FAT32
Believe it or not I did try this a few weeks ago when they announced windows 11 will finally receive an update to allow for it. From the command line it did appear to work with a 64gb SD card, but at the end of the format it errored out with "this volume is too big for fat32". Why it doesn't tell you that at the start I don't know
