I honestly just rewatched the fabled Nintoaster Instructional Video that I like to revisit every so often. And to my surprise this was right underneath it in the search. I knew that the AVGN's had broken and that he had it repaired and upgraded, but I assumed it was from a professional modder and not a fan, so this was a special surprise! I loved this video, the good, the bad, everything. I will be revisiting this one from now on too, good work!
Thank you very much, it means a lot to me! I was also very surprised by how much trust James put into pretty much just a stranger on the internet with no portfolio to speak of when I sent him the initial offer. Oh, and as a sidenote: I'll actually be going professional with modding services soon. Doing mods like these is simply a lot of fun after all.
Glad to see how the Nintoaster was fixed. I've recently been interested in wanting to learn more about how to fix electronics. I just fixed Xbox 360 a while back. Disc drive was bad so I replaced it. Learning little by little. Love these type of videos.
I found this video while looking for the original, which I was randomly in the mood to watch. I didn't even know it was broken (I've missed a lot of AVGN). After watching the original I came here. Awesome work dude! I was a little concerned about the cables for the chips. I have a modded commodore 64 that has both NTSC and PAL VIC-II chips. The guy (perifractic of retro recipies) that designed it actually tried this method and it messed up the video signal. It's also why it only works on the old "breadbin" C64's. It has to be a fully self contained PCB that sockets into the original VIC-II socket. It works great though. I'm glad you didn't have the same issue with the nintoaster.
Thanks! Very interesting to hear about actual issues the wires could have caused, I too am very glad it worked out in my case. Would have been a nightmare trying to fit the chip stacks in without moving them away from the board.
@@Prismary I'm not really sure, but he has the design process on his channel. He went through many prototypes with PCBWAAAAAAAAAY. lol You actually get 2 with the kit because the chip fits in differently depending on the board you have so he includes both versions to get you covered. I have the 2nd one on my wall. lol One of my favorite videos of his was fixing a C64.....with a hammer. LMAO He lightly taps the chips and it randomly started working. It wasn't the only issue he had but it was still funny.
Stellar video. Well structured, simple to understand, and kept me glued to the screen for all 27 minutes of it, and that's something hard for me. I also appreciate the timecodes for all the classic songs you used. Keep up the good work!
seeing this gave me remotivation for solidering projects again, great vid! super impressive. I can't even do a 1/10th of what you do at 18 lol out of curiosity, was this all out of pocket for you?
I'm so glad to hear that! Practice makes perfect, and believe me, it's not all too hard once you get the hang of the basics. And no, it wasn't out of pocket for me. James paid for both the shipping and the modkit.
It's really impressive how far people like Kevtris who really know what they're doing can take a simple modkit. It's just unfortunate it's been sold out everywhere for ages now because some chips have reached end-of-life so the board needs a bit of re-engineering
wow owo amazing lol, good job helping him fix that, i have no idea how cutting and gluing parts together somehow fixed it.. I don't even know how one can know what all those pins do.. i'd be afraid to break it just by touching it xD you're pretty talented.
Awesome video, thanks! So I've decided to start a NES rgb toaster project. A lot of thinking and massive amounts of work have gone into it, and I am still not anywhere near half-way done. It is a huge project, but I am trying to do it the right way; no hot glue, actually no glue at all. All pieces are custom made pieces that can be bolted on or snapped into place. I might make a video of it once it is done and upload it.
It's much more difficult to make changes to other people's mods than to a factory-made one, simply because mods (especially like these cramming-in kinds) sometimes *has* to involve some kludging or bodging. The knob is probably glued in because it kept falling out. I've been there. Great work. Maybe with a better soldering iron (with proper temp. control) you'll find the job so much easier.
Thanks! My soldering iron isn't actually that bad, it has temperature control, I might have to stock up on some better tips though. I mostly had problems with the de-soldering equipment, I've gotten a better solder sucker since that works quite well. Might get a de-soldering station at some point.
You could have easily fixed the dent, there are a lot of videos online how this can be done. but it's not a big deal. Overall, this was super impressive, especially for such a young and not yet super trained maker and electronics engineer!
It's just a couple of years of experience. I'm quite enthusiastic about the technical side of these old videogame systems so I like to tinker with them and also fix broken consoles every now and then. Soldering is actually much easier than it might look, just all about practice.
@@MTWas A good place to start might be to just buy a defective system for cheap and trying to fix as many things on it as you can, a prime example would be a GameBoym but anything will do. Just give it a shot and experiment a little.
@@Prismary I will try to find something like that what you described. And also, I think that I have something like that, but I have to find it. Thank you to reply my questions.
@@Prismary as someone who is starting to learn the basics of these sorts of things. I agree. My 1st project was taking two broken DS lites and frankenstiening them back to life. It worked in the end. Though the touch screen no longer works. Not sure why. Prehaps I was too rough with a ribbon cable.or connector
Not really, but I assume it was some sort of configuration issue with his capture card that sort of misinterpreted the output, since the HDMI signal from the console worked just fine when I tested it and he managed to fix it quickly in the next episode once people pointed it out
I hope you eventually got your hands on a heat gun, for desoldering pourposes. Because they are actually super super cheap. On AliExpress, and probably also inGerman physical stores.
This goes for anyone I guess, but where should I start if I want to get into electronics? I want to build by own Nintoaster in the future. Additionally, I thought you also modded it to play PS2 games, or was that a joke the nerd said?
I can't speak for everyone, but personally I got into electronics by doing basically what's in the video: Just tinkering around with random devices, trying to understand how they work, fixing things and eventually doing some mods. It helps a lot if you get the basics of the matter down, pretty much what you'd learn in physics class. Voltage, current, resistance, capacity, what kind of electrical components are there and what do they do, how to read and draw simple circuit diagrams, using a multimeter, and so on. Practice soldering and tinker with some simple devices that are easy to understand, try fixing some devices that are broken. As long as you're doing something you're on the right track, it's all just a matter of experience. Building a Nintoaster also isn't all that hard, just takes some understanding of what you're working with and inginuity to make it work. Oh, and about the PS2-capability, that was indeed just a joke.
@@Prismary Alright awesome, that's exactly what I've been doing so I'll keep it up as well as try to get a better understanding of the basics and of each component with whatever I'm working on. I'll study how to read and draw circuit diagrams, so thank you! Who knows, maybe I'll build the first Nintoaster III that will have PS2 compatibility if that's even possible.
@@camerickoo4333 I wouldn't say it's impossible, however the PS2 mainboard is quite big so you'd have some serious difficulty trying to make it fit into a toaster shell. You could however align the disk drive in a similar fashion to how the cartridge port is mounted in the Nintoaster, so it'd look pretty cool.
I didn't do any extensive testing, but as far as I could tell, they didn't. I also believe that if the added latency had a significant enough effect, it wouldn't result in lag, the console would just no longer function properly
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but in the video I did show the extension cord I used to connect the Hi-Def daughterboard to the port on the casing

Doing the lord’s work
So when someone repairs or upgrades the console in another 10 years, will they find your own signature/date hidden somewhere?
I certainly didn't leave it unattended. We'll see once that happens!
It's much more difficult to make changes to other people's mods than to a factory-made one, simply because mods (especially like these cramming-in kinds) sometimes *has* to involve some kludging or bodging. The knob is probably glued in because it kept falling out. I've been there.

Taking the knob off is easy. There's a small hole in the side with a small retention screw that you just loosen to take it off
The HDMI port hole I would have CNC'ed, possibly via laser or just endmill. :P
There's a bunch of things I would do differently today, but unfortunately I had access to neither a CNC mill nor a proper 3D printer back then.
