Getting my first Dreamcast
I,ve finally done it i got a dreamcast. well its been a long time since i posted and im not sure I should have waited this long to decide to put this video up the way it is. The short version is that i just didn,t like how the video was coming out so i desided to just explain that to you. its not that i didnt like the dreamcast or fixing it up or playing it. i just didnt like the way the video i was trying to make was coming across. i hope i havent offended anyone too bad but yeah thanks for watching see you next time.

When lifting the crt you missed the opportunity to say "Hello old friend"
Thanks for putting this together, its super helpful! You mentioned some driver issues, I seem to be running into this on two systems. I think my Xilinix USB Cable drivers are wrong or old, but I cannot find newer ones anywhere. I keep getting the error: INFO:iMPACT - Digilent Plugin: no JTAG device was found, followed by The Platform Cable USB is not detected and Cable connection failed. Cable autodetection failed, with no help from Google. Has anyone run into this and solved it? A discord server was mentioned, is that a good place to start? Thanks!
When you were installing the Xilinx software did you leave the “install drivers” box checked and did you have the box unplugged?
@@Chibichief Yep to both. I've also been trying to make sure i have the right driver. In your Windows Device Manager, what is the name of the device that appears when you plug in the Xilinx device? My driver version is 2.0.0.3 and its from 10/26/2007. Is this the same one you have? On the web I see references to a newer driver, but I cannot find it... Thanks!
it comes up as USB Serial Converter on device manager and my driver version is 2.12.36.4 and the provider is FTDI. if you search the provider and the version number you should get a hit for it.
Amazing video!!! congratulations on the great work!! I don't know anything about technology and I was able to carry out this update just by following your step by step!! Thank you so much for this!!!
I have the KV-29FS140 model. Can the RGB mod be done on this model? (Chassis BX-1L). Which one is better, the KV-29FS12A or the KV-29FS140? Thanks!
From what I could find on a diagram the kv29fs140 can’t be modded for rgb this way it seems like the jungle chip is integrated into the micro processor so you can’t inject on the menu but it’s been a while since I looked at a crt so I’m a little rusty at deciphering the diagrams and what can work and what can’t. It does look like the 29fs12a does have a separate micro controller and jungle chip so you should be able to rgb mod one of those
Oh man can't wait to follow your video for the firmware upgrade. Automatically subscribed, thanks for this
This is amazing dude holy cow! I have yet to decide whether to mod my trinitron or not yet BUT I will say this wiping your screen down with a good screen cleaner and spraying electrical contact cleaner on the av jacks and cable actually made a noticeable improvement on my display lol. Try those simple things first. Also adjust your screen contrast and brightness helps with av artifacts. This is probably obvious to some but maybe be helpful to people getting back into crt 😊
Good this video recommend, so i guess growth is coming for your channel)
Is the same for Sony trinitron ?
Hard to say without knowing what model and without looking inside iv never had a Sony combo tv
please make a video using the digitzer, show us where to trim in order for it to fit on the screen
Iv had a few messages about this hunting through my spare parts to see if I have a working digitizer
shouldn't the title be ready for 2024? not 2004
2004 was the advent of hdmi (sometimes it makes more sense in my head then typed out)
Great Work! Don't know if you might be interested in a YT video collab. (PCBWayDaisy) 😊
Thanks for the offer but I’m not looking for sponsors just having fun in my time off.
This is the perfect thing for stuff like Pokemon with the small screen for the attacks
You did an absolutely beautiful job, well done. And this is the first Pocket Color mod I've seen that preserves the IR port, that's so awesome. May I ask, is there a reason you started with the CPU? Was it just to get the most tedious component out of the way? I would think the logical course would be to tackle all the small components being soldered with the hot air first, then tackle the iron-soldered components afterward, but my logic may be flawed.
Thank you and as far as doing the cpu first I was worried about knocking smaller things off while trying to get it on and touching up the bridges and such so I did it first
that was some nice and clean soldering
i'm currently preparing to do an s video mod and this video and your previous one have been super helpful! there's a lot of info available on rgb mods but comparatively so little on projects like s-video mods. i really appreciate the extensive documentation of your progress and the problems that you encountered along the way. all around great stuff and super helpful! keep it up!
I've been trying to do this for years but lack the circuit knowledge. This is amazing. Great work
What about a macro without the gba cartridge sticking out and yes I want it to be a ds lite macro and no I don't want to use a flash card
I don’t think it’s like conventionally possible since the cart slot is soldered to the motherboard you would need to somehow move it further in the case and while you could remove the ds card slot to get more space but then it would be a straight macro mod and you would not be able to play ds games anymore. Plus you would have to some how hold the slot in place and also connect it back to the motherboard pins remotely. It’s possible but at what cost.
:) can u link to the video where u did a update to dis where u say the tv had problems useing RF and composit
I don’t think links work In the UA-cam comments section but I guess you could copy paste this Desktop CRT Revisited ua-cam.com/video/8vD3xMmhC_Q/v-deo.html I’ll try to add it to the end card too
@@Chibichief thnx pal found it :D this mod is so kool and its not as complex as RGB i got a question u think a VCR tvcombo could dothis or vcr combo tv was to older and it can noy be done on that ???
I definitely have seen guides/reddit threads about doing this exact thing with a tv/vhs combo
I have that exact Sony, i bought it new at Sears 23 or so years ago. I use it still with my MiSTer and component.
it might be my favorite set that i have. my little one that i added s/video to is also up there the two basically are the only sets i really use right now.
Got there in the end and learned a lot. There might be a way to do it with a switch but this is fine. Surprised the sync circuit doesn’t already have 75 ohm termination from factory. Should measure resistance from the point you input luma to ground.
Wondering about the exposed Contrast Wheel area. Wont it be risky to have that open if water, dirt, etc were to enter in?
It is open but it’s not like any of the other openings that are populated would prevent either of those things gameboys were never water/dust resistant.
@Chibichief thanks for the clarification! I'm planning on doing Natalie the nerd method POCO, and it has the same with contrast wheel open, but I have a solution to cover it up.
gameboy took us faway rom bad things
I wish they made one when you only need to add copy and ram like funny playing gba boards
hi for anybody wanting to do this mod beware in the video he says its compatible with a digitizer he is worng it does not fit i wish he tested it so he knew instead of assuming because i bought a shell just because i thought the digitzer would fit and spend 2 hours trimming it so i want everybody to not suffer through that like me do not buy if you want to use the digitizer
I’m sorry I thought I was more clear that you would need to trim the shell but I guess I only say it once. I’m sorry you had trouble getting it on
@@Chibichief it’s ok I’m less upset now I was really upset when I made that but even when you trim the shell the digitizer won’t fit because it’s to thick
Huh I guess I need to find a decent touch screen that’s one more thing I can add on to tv out and maybe figure out a nice shell for it that fits the digitizer
how did you learn to solder? did you get some form of formal teaching or are you self taught?
Trade learning so I’m a auto tech and one of the older mechanics taught me the absolute basics then practice and watching electronics repair videos
Did the same build recently. What was the process for cutting the faceplate to get the glass lens in?
Trim. Check fit. Repeat. It took a while I was using a razor blade scraping off a little at a time. Since it was a translucent shell I lined it up with the screen on the inside as best I could and then traced near where the Final Cut would be and started from there.
This will probably outlast all the hinged DS versions. The 2DS was a personal favorite for how weird it was.
HOWDY! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOUR WOODEN TV IS CALLED! I HAD ONE AS A KID BUT MY MOM GOT RID OF IT IN FAVOUR OF MORE MODERN TVS AND I HAVEN’T SEEN ONE LIKE IT SINCE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ONE!
It is a rca colortrak there is a whol line of them with the same name. Normally called a console set/monitor.
i usually hate how these look but urs is really nice good job bro
Honestly makes me wants a Nintendo switch mini something very pocketable but still useable.... Like 30% smaller and sleeker than the switch lite......
Imagine a wireless top screen, you can have the top screen on a table and the bottom screen in your hands. Like that you can play select which screen you want to be, and if you have to, like you can play by alternate between bottom and top screen with the bottom screen only !
Boy do I have good news for you look up Wii U
@@Chibichief What do you mean ?
The Wii U basically does what you described and plays ds games
@@Chibichief Ohh, i didn't knew it, i never possessed a Wii U x) Thanks for the information !
I have wanted a mod like this for years and now I've seen someone do it. I love the idea of 1 screen and you swap between the screens
2013 called
Did they leave a message?
@@Chibichiefthere inspired by the production quality (I mean that in a good way)
Thank you I’ve been trying to get through my next project hoping to get it done soon
This would be perfect for animal crossing wild world, cause it doesn’t use the top screen at all!
So its basically....a Wii U?
Never been a fan of the macro mod but this is actually pretty neat. Would be cool to see a ds micro build like this
Oooo what is a ds micro? Never heard of it
@@Chibichief What I was thinking of is kinda like the "gameboy micro macro" by drdorok! Instead of gba games though being able to play ds games.
Oh I found it so tv out plus a custom shell that looks like the gba micro. I def want to add tv out but idk if I want to change the shell.
@@Chibichief Yeah the AV out is really awesome!
or you can just replace the top
😢 such a beauty 💗 waw
Now add a second screen to the ds. That would be a sick idea
🤯
But only add it to the bottom, so the controls are on top
Is there a kit for replacing the DS screens with hi-res ones? I just got tired of seeing all the subpixels. They give me headaches.
@@sqlexp I actually love the subpixels on the gameboy advanve. I can‘t stand the high res ips screens. Thats why i always play gba games on my ds lite
And make sure it’s a second bottom screen so you have two sets of controls and two touch screens!
nice tutorial. For my it works well but I had do adjust my windows safety kernel setting
Hey where did you get this PCB mod? Cant find it anywhere and want to install a similar switch!
Unfortunately the creator of the board does not have any more but the link in the description goes to their GitHub project and you could get the files for the pcb and have a service make it for you then you would buy the components and solder them on your self
Man i wish i could mod one of my crt's. I just picked up a very cheap toshiba that i thought for sure would have at least s-video, but nope! Showed up to get it, and it only has composite. Supposedly, it has internal rgb for the dvd/vhs combo (and it certainly looks the part while in dvd mode). But oh well it's still nice I'm still on the lookout for a good rgb set.
Muy buen trabajo de este joven no solo realizó la salida rgb también realizó ajuste de colores la mayoría de los técnicos ya no realizan esos trabajos de la vieja escuela en televisiónes CRT saludos desde México 🧐👌
Would there be any way to set up screen switching without getting a switch? Ex: pressing a combination of buttons to switch screens
I don’t think so but I’m not an expert. I think it is using circuits that are on the top screen connector so it’s not really a software thing more of a “when this pin is 0v perform switch” but there are other buttons/switches that don’t mount on the rear of the board if you don’t have the space back there
The choke or inductor as it is called, has no polarity and can be installed both ways, the only time you need to think about directions is when mounting them in series on anything else just smack them in the way you want, its like a resistor.
Thanks for the info always good to learn something new
Where can i get the board, does he sell them?
On the GitHub page linked in the description there is a contact email looks like they still have some based on the table on the GitHub
@@Chibichief Thank u so much, i was wondering about that link, but i had to ask you :)
holy shit!!!! i had the same issues with 1080 ! So glad I saw this video!!! what a terrible product for updating firmware. I bought 3 of them in the pre-order and after installing the first one I decided to sell the others. My ultrahdmi mod worked perfect with no issues after install.
I'd rather people start making the DMGcolor more popular and easier to build. To me the pocket and the color are both the same console just one is color. They're both too small to be comfortable in my hands playing. The DMG is a better size.
Do you have the motherboard for it? I’m thinking about the raspberry pi for my game boy
I still have a few unpopulated boards but you can get them from n64 freak they have contact info in the read me on the GitHub linked in the discription
