Couple issues I notice right off the bat. First, I guess I forgot to put current requirements in the guide for each rail, but they are pretty high, especially 1v725 which is 11A or so. I don't think your regs are beefy enough for some of the rails. Second, In my guide I said to pull up EJECT SW...

My secret santa was @That_Random_Guy !!! He sent me some turning blanks. First is a composite of mahogany, zebrawood, padauk and holly! Next is a dyed maple (?) burl! Think I wanna make a knife handle out of this beauty..... And last but CERTAINLY not least, a CIB Master System II...

Everything was home/hand made. Me and my mom made the cookies/treats, she made the candle and I made the intarsia! Dude I'm glad you like it! Definitely deserved with everything you do for the community.

Hello folks, as always I managed to forget to keep up with my thread. It has been a wild ride, but I am happy to say that this officially my final submission to the competition! I was not able to get WiFi in, but other than some SD card corruption issues I have gotten everything else I...

Been hard at work since the last post. Got my WiFi flex designed, got my 100W charge board designed, and I started prepping another motherboard for trimming! The only thing really left to design is the charge port board, which admittedly is more complex than it sounds, but I am super close to...

Hey folks, as you may remember last year I entered the competition attempting to make a portable Xbox only to crash and burn at the finish line. Well this year thanks to some awesome rule changes, I am getting a second chance. :) I will be entering with the same portable, and attempting to...

This guide is the culmination of months of research and work and a failed contest entry. I have put a lot of time and effort into this guide and there were a LOT of ups and downs, but I hope it is worth it as at the end of the day it shows you everything you need to know to do something that was...

I don't know if they ship with it yet, but yeah I added support!

Well, as I always do I managed to neglect this worklog. A LOT has happened since the last post, and while unfortunately I didn't make the deadline (Or the extended deadline), I made it further in these 4 months than I ever could have imagined. I am not really sure if I can pin point where this...

Hey! I have mostly been swamped with farm work so I admittedly don't have much to show since the first post, but I am slowly but surely getting stuff done. I have been working on figuring out relocations mostly, And I guess I will go ahead and talk about this a bit. :) There are a few things...

That is positively not happening. :) Black SLS though, heck yeah.

Pretty close to the footprint of a Wii U Gamepad (if both are viewed top down on a table etc).

Hey folks. I have spectated a few of these competitions now, but I finally decided to throw my hat in the ring and make a fool of myself. I never meet deadlines, and I never can think of ideas worth trying to finish within them, so frankly I am screwed, so to add insult to injury I decided to do...

Chip trimming is the new frontier, and I am determined to trick, err encourage, more people to figure out more applications where it can be used. Soon you will all join me in insanity.

This guide is a mirror of the guide posted on my GitHub repository. The following guide will cover every step of the chip trimming process as best as possible, while also going over the various caveats, complications, and best practices. It will also go over the best workflow and order of...

Oh no, 2 name drops in 1 thread. I have become infamous.

I only polished with abrasives.

A genuine PPU has a die that's about 3.65mm square, the clone (TA-02) I ground down however has a die that's about 5x4.5mm. While a 10x10mm cut will work on a genuine chip, it is not sufficient for clones. The bonding wires attach roughly 0.3mm from the tips of the leadframe leads, so I...

Yes, I believe the clones have a slightly larger die, so I don't believe the 10mm cut will work, but maybe 11 or 12mm? I have a TA-02 clone PPU, and the die is definitely larger. I'll get some measurements later today if I can find it. And I'll share my methods for determining where to cut as...

Hey guys! While I've not been able to devote much time to the project lately, I have been chipping away at the smaller stuff. If you've seen my 8bit power reduction thread, you will probably have figured out I'm looking into undervolting the NES hardware down to 3.3V to significantly increase...
