31:42 The criticism on the flex is ligitim. Maybe some background: is was designed maybe two years after the first release of the N64Adv, which is designed - and it is still so - to get it installed with a bunch of loose wires if someone wants to go without flex cables in a DIY project. So I went for the solder solution instead of the ffc connector to be compatible with older PCBs out there. But I guess it's time to change the design a bit and go for simple connectors. 🙂
Would be handy to have simple connectors. I can imagine it would be a PITA if you ever have to disassemble the N64 again.
Borti, du bist der Beste😀
This might sound strange but I just like to listen to the sound of this man's voice 😅
Voultar and LockPickingLawyer have, hands down, the most soothing voices on UA-cam.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care"
Love voultars videos.
I may wrongfully compare him to Deadpool. I mean I could listen to his voice and be happy. Until some no-name goons burst through the door and the bloodshed and screaming starts.
Don't feel weird. There are dozens of us. *Dozens.*
Voultar is the Bob Ross of the modders :) “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents”.
These kinds of videos are not only useful for those that want to mod game consoles, but they are also nuggets of information for basics in SMD soldering technique. Well done Voultar, an extra ration of rum for you lol
It should be called the milleNnial64
@@NesNytNah.
legend has it voltar hasn't taken off those glasses for 30 years because of....
the soldering iron incident
Actually I thought it was cause of the icepick incident.
Great video as always! You get to learn and relax at the same time, you can't beat that. I think it would be great if you made a quick shop tour video going over some of the tools you have. Your soldering station video was a huge help, I can only imagine what other insights you might have for those of us trying to build up or upgrade our tool selection. Keep up the good work!
I watch this instead of porn while my wife went to sleep early. I do love a good soldering job.
Btw, I do love the "minimalistic" ring you have. Is it a wedding ring or just stylish?
This man gives me peace everytime he's soldering so perfectly
soul-dering ❤
Great video though I do have a minor suggestion if possible for future videos you could mention the temperatures to use for your irons especially when soldering the flex cables. I know from my experience doing the DC Digital mod and ruined the ribbon on my first try but from your suggestion on Twitter using a lower temperature helped me complete it successfully.
Just to clarify, what you are talking about It is a "Flat Flex Cable" or FFC. A ribbon cable is different.
@@GoatTheGoat yes, you're correct and I'll edit it. Had retro PC stuff on my mind that made think of ribbon cables lol.
The DC Digital was a tough one, and it took me a couple tries to get it right. Main problem for me was that, when I had one end of the FFC in place, it was ever so slightly out of alignment with the other chips it connects to. Ugh. Really hard on the soul to undo a flex cable joint that went reasonably well, just to get some other piece aligned.
Man I love this guy's videos and enthusiasm
Looks great dude, always looking forward to a new video! Also thank you for showing the jewel 🙌🙌🙌
You make it look so easy. Very nice work, professional mod and relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work!
Lord Voultar has returned! We all needed some sexual healing! Oooooh!
Great mod work! if I was going ahead to make a riser on a 3d printer, I would just make it a full length bracket to provide support across the pcb and create a bumper so it never touches on the opposite screw side.
Lord Voultar, the Bob Ross of soldering
Great to see you back! It's been too long! Any chance at any og xbox video in the pipeline would be cool? Also maybe a series of all the mods you would do for classic core consoles (nes, genesis, snes, all models) to work with the tink5x!?
I wanted to see a video about your sega bypass board install. Is one of your products you havent covered in a video . Great video!
I'm not a fan of the 64 either but I will watch you Mod one...Good to see you again Lord Voltar...
Agreed 💯
Holy shit dude I was actually able to install this in my n64! Thanks for the video
Is it just me, or does the intro give him the vibe of a pro wrestler? With the sunglasses and his posture, I feel like he was about to drop a promo saying he was gonna kick some ass.
Nice Snake impression!
this 'new' calm and teaching style is much more professional. great progress on your channel! keep the content coming!
but sometimes, just sometimes, I miss the cruel old rants :)
When securing a wire with a screw you should have the loop in a clockwise orientation so the screw will pull it tighter
Thank you for taking your time in your videos to explain soldering techniques. I have been a beginner with soldering for a very long time and these tips help a ton!
"It's what all of the scene kids say."
Dead. Absolutely dead.
Just did one of these a couple weeks ago. I found it to be one of the easier mods I've installed. Didn't have the issue with the spacers although I do think the kits solution is a bit janky and agree that it should be revised.
By the way, great video. You should upload more often.
I made an n64 rgb amp for my NS1 model with like 4$ worth of parts 3 days ago using a THS7316
Voultar, that cut is fresh af.
Let’s go! Thanks for making more great instructional content.
22:15 bro solid snake 💀💀💀☠☠☠
I brought an n64 with the rgb advanced borti as I just couldn’t face the job of doing. Looks great though.
I heard about you threw a bunch of my friends that I know that do mods, just subbed.
My boy is literally promoting a competitor's product I respect that, modders recognize other modders achievements.
You didn't need the plastic spacer. Clearly, you just needed to lay down a fat bed of hot glue.
I'm with you Voultar, not a fan of the N64 either, but I still like watching these mod videos, great work!
Great! Amazing work as always Lord Voultar keep em' comming.
"I'm a strap-on fanatic".
I’m gonna start this by saying I have a great relationship with my dad, that being said… every time he says great job or says you’re doing great it triggers that same emotion as my dad saying the same thing. Great man
always a pleasure to see you work. When i saw the intel logo i was expecting another $200+ product
"Let's do it to it"....you got that from Sonic.
My N64RGB was finally supposed to arrive today, but because USPS is USPS, it's now supposed to arrive tomorrow. So close!
Ah the Nintendo 64, still quite possibly the greatest looking console ever.
He's alive!!
As usual, great explanation and teaching great soldering skill, with professional narration.
Voultar you are awesome thankyou for sharing your skills 😀 From the land of Oz so got a NTSC N64 from Japan on its way to do the cheaper mod. ❤️ watching you shoulder a master class. thankyou for sharing your skills.
me encanta el sonido del estaño fundiendose, solo Voultar es capaz de hacer ASMR de esto. Great job.
This is the most Bob Ross modding tutorial I've ever seen.
This is pure joy, just watching master of his craft. Despite I don't love N64 either.
Thanks for this video Voultar! I really need to buy more iron tips. I've always just used a conical.
Master Voultar... You won my like just because i didn't knew that n64 consoles were so easily opened. Nice trick.
Great work as always Lord Voultar. Something very satisfying watching that clean soldiering technique completed to perfection. Love me some rocker gaming custome jewelry too looks magnificent👍👍👍
I use the sweeping technique o.o"
I know you have a 3d printer but I don't... Lol I've use cut to shape 24oz soda bottles to insulate(on my own stuff)
oh my god Voultar please clean that Glover cart
Holy hell, pretty brave putting your thumb that close to the tip
How can you not like the N64 !
You are the Bob Ross of micro-soldering.
The man, the myth, THE FUKKIN LEGEND! Glad to see your still taking names & kicking ass man. All the best! XD
love this guy! the Mr Rogers of console mods
Holy shit! Youre Voultar. Ive heard of your greatness
Like that dual KSGER station setup!
The component video solution via the printed dongle is enough for me to get this. Was looking at eTim’s kit and was going to use HDR SNES cables, but that looks like it’s more expensive than this solution
The Bob Ross of modding/soldering.
I don't know if you do mods for sega genesis, but if you do, would be nice to have your opinion on the sega genesis triple bypass. That mod for me is a very complex one so would be nice if you could give some hints about it.
He has other videos he's lifted pins on showing the technique. And I think he helped designed the 3bp so I'd say he's a fan. Long Island Retro Gamer has a video of the install
Anyone else getting Bob Ross vibes when him going into detail?
I'm not a huge fan of the N64 myself but I kinda wish I had an excuse to do these kinda mods though I'd want to get the proper tools first as I dont think I'll get very far with my dumb ol 40 watt iron without flux, braid or decent proper solder (Basically got the Iron and soldier back in 2008 from Canadian tire to muck about with stuff).
Great video by the way, this was informative and interesting :)
They really should have gone with a ribbon connector on the PCB side. In this day and age that's more or less a standard feature.
Think I might get one of these to replace my N64RGB, those flex cables make the install so tidy.
Miss the vids. Thank you for helping to educate the community. ^_^
Is this the Bob Ross of microsoldering?
For real though good stuff as always Mr. Tar. Soldering really, REALLY benefits from patience and calm, and you always convey that very well in your videos. I continue to use you for all of my male anatomy *AHEM* I mean soldering technique references, even outside the realm of video game consoles.
Have you tried installing Doujindance’s PC Engine Duo RGB kit? Love to see you give it a go 👍
I'm here for the hi-fi flux sizzle.
That's one to-the-point title for the video. Cheers, Voultar!
intreagued that you never mention what temp the iron is.
Now put a game that switches resolutions on the fly, like pokemon stadium
Great video dude. Would love to see you do the xboxhd+ mod.
Keep em comin! 🤘😎
Well, at least I can purchase this if I decide to, unlike other mod videos. I mean, why even show something that no one can even purchase?!!!!!! asinine Voultar, you're killing it, love your work!!
Doin' the Lord's work. 'Cause even God ain't touchin' no N64.
This kit would sell more if people had a better idea of what it brings to the table. Unfortunately, there is no way around it, most people will be lost with all the jargon and technicalities that it brings along.
Can I use the 1x via YPbPr? Most likely not
Can I use the 2 or 3x via SCART? Most likely not
But I do have an OSSC! Oh, in that case, yeah, you could ^-^
Very confusing for people.
"But my TV clearly accepts 480p over YPbPr and 240p over SCART so clearly, I can get 480p over SCART or 240p over YPbPr, right..."
Spent so much time explaining this kit to people... Almost a part time job at some points
I completely agree with that. The problem is that this kit does so much that it's difficult to explain all of the corner cases of what it can/can't do to the layman.
Yeah, I can see that. TBF, though, that's much less a problem with the kit, and more a problem with years of evolution (and de-evolution) of RGB analog video standards. Can't blame the layperson for not having an encyclopedic knowledge of all of that, y'know?
And then there are issues that shouldn't even BE issues. Why a standard-def TV can't handle 480p is pretty clear, but why a relatively modern TV can't receive 240p on YPbPr is a mystery to me. That's just some lazy design on whatever IC is handling the analog inputs. I know it's different hardware, but if you can stream UA-cam, but can't understand that not all 480i is interlaced video content, the engineering is lop-sided.
I mean, a bunch of slightly-above-average nerds with an oscilloscope and an FPGA dev board figured it out, but Samsung and LG and Sony couldn't have a lunch meeting with someone at Analog Devices? (With MAD respect to those slightly-above-average nerds, BTW. Personal heroes and role models, they are.
Wow ! This flex cable seems to have little silver ingots at the end! :D
29:28 "Lamemeister" lmao
After adding this mod..
The dinosaur says Nintendo 64... You mean Nintendo 6RRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!
System is just not worth the HDMI to play the only 4 games worth playing > smashbro, mario 64, zelda , marios kart😮💨
I absolutely agree. HDMI modifications for the Nintendo 64 are for the most part completely worthless.
Nice video, please make one modding those cheap scart to hdmi converters
Voultar, I went to your shop and your RGB mod is out of stock. When do you expect you'll have more available? PS- my heart broke when you said you didn't like the N64.
Love the work you do, dude. Its kinda cringe that you have that desktop drill thing, but no real screwdriver, but we've all been in similar circumstances, I guess.
It's kind of cringe that you don't know the difference between an electronics screwdriver and an actual drill, yet here you are making stupid comments like this.
God it would be great if any of these mods were available….
hmm i hope in the future they will use a switch system to allow easier configs on the jumps
THe Bob Ross of Solder
Great stuff as usual. What's on dodgy VHS tape stashed under the desk?
That's a porno that I've been meaning to transfer over, digitally for the past 12 years.
Lord Voultar the veteran always makes everything look so easy :-)
Why is he wearing sunglasses
I think you got some doodoo on that glover cartridge
Great flex cables better than the Tim's mod I did a couple years ago now!
+1 points for star wolf music
Where can I download the NSFs used for the soundtrack on this vid? Clearly a Mario 64 de-make, NES style. let's-a-GOOOOooo!
Extremely descriptive, I love it!
I built 2 of these boards and installed both of them with the help of Borti.
This Video cant fix my Heart. Maybe one more will do. 😥
Hay I get it l lived it payed 600 bucks for it back in the day keeped it for 9 months hated the system sold it for 250 with everything never looked back.
Thank you for the usual nice and detailed video! I am looking for a solution like this one for my N64, that is a bit strange. I bought at launch in Japan, one of the really first batch, and for years I used in in RGB by simply connecting the three vias to the proper pin on the output. The image was perfect: proper brightness, no problem whatsoever. Then I read on RetroRGB that using this method, without any RGB amplifier, could cause damage to console. So I tried with three different RGB amplifier but then the image was waaaaay too bright. Is it possible that the really first JP N64 are somewhat different from the later ones? Maybe a solution like this one, that taps directly at the source and not at video encoder, is the way to go for me (no HDMI, since I play on CRT Projector, so analog RGB is perfect).
