I have a gallery in Albums of my work and the installs I am experienced in.

The amazing XStation ODE installed in this original Sony PlayStation to play games directly off a microSD card, plus a whole lot of other convenient mods, such as:

⚡ Dual Frequency Oscillator (DFO) mod for correct PAL and NTSC GPU and colour sub carrier clocks

⚡ PS1 Reset mod. Use controller button shortcuts to reset the game or go back to the XStation game menu and stay seated on the couch.

⚡ Flash BIOS mod. The owner primarily wants to play NTSC games on this PAL console. A NTSC-U bios is being used to eliminate 50hz / 60hz switching on boot up and loading into NTSC games making for a smoother experience when connected to upscalers and streaming.

A customer imported this beautiful looking original release Japanese Sega Saturn from 1994, and sent it to me for some mod work:

⚡FRAM mod – The volatile SRAM chip inside the Saturn is replaced with a non-volatile FRAM chip. Prevents the internal saves from being lost when the internal battery dies or is removed.

⚡A full recap of the motherboard and CD Drive board.

⚡Internal 115v PSU replaced so the console can be powered with a 12v AC Adapter instead.

Hopefully has a long life ahead!

New install of Zaxour's version of the Triple Bypass V2. An audio and video bypass circuit mod for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.

No more "jail bars" and a clean video output for this launch model 1 Genesis. Full recap too.

Crystal clear digital and audio HDMI upgrade for the Nintendo Wii via the Electron-AVE kit. Been a little while since I installed one of these but I haven't lost my touch (or memory of all the million different screw placements).
