amazing work, as always!

and as every year, nold totally misses it ... <.<

So here is a little "update".. I've finished up some Rev.1 PCBs & designed my first flex PCB. it allows mounting two RAM chips on the n64.. so i can repair a few stock n64 boards. But before i can order a new PCB batch i need to do some work on the PCB.. as it tourns out, my 3.5" inch screen...

those readings look good to me

Some of your solder joints look pretty good (the on the PSU mostly), others look like they could need some more heat/solder/flux 6-layers can be bitchy.. make sure to sand very very well atleast up to 800~1k grid. even then the lowest voltage can have like 6 ohms to GND which should be fine...

- give it some good sanding up to 800 grid - remove all cut through components - clean pcb with a brush & IPA

How are you going to provide airflow through your heatsinks? I guess if you just pack them into a print, they wouldn't do much cooling & the bracket might even melt. You could also better spread the heat by using a single copper sheet that connects all ICs/heatsinks. Anyways you seem to be on...

nice, i dig those buttons, how do you like them?

Damn nice work guys, hope you put some of there files/changes on github or bring it upstream :)

I'm totally hyped to tell you that the "LibreHDMi" & "VGA-Dock" PCBs are tested & working :mrgreen: Somebody [TM] swapped the IN/Out Labels tho.. Anyways...

Good News: We got a working PD & PMS :) Sadly the PMS is still missing the 5V reg cause i bought the wrong footprint -.-'' Anyway, here are some beautyshots JLC did a good job with the cascaded-pads.. except for the PMS where they are not plated.. (maybe i set the edge cut wrong) but...

U-AMP has Xbox support now? sweet

While waiting for the PCBs and parts to arrive, i reworked the game pak slot. feels like it works more reliable now, too.. Also check out how cool wii caps look on this n64 :D
