James Channel is what AVGN could've been if he put more time into DIY and soldering. He Frankenstein'd his own "Gyromite controller" for the Nintendo ROB episode, imagine what more he could've done.
For a long time I felt bad for James for seeming relatively "sane" and having to deal with Wade's shenanigans, but it turns out James is also insane. I love it.
I've always been afraid of accidentally destroying computer components by touching them in the wrong way. James, your channel has some how just obliterated my fear because I don't think I can ever do what you do here. AND IT WORKS. James, you're like an incredible expert engineer that has been imprinted with arcane unholy knowledge and have thus created an Eldritch child. I stand in awe and await some more.
I was just thinking the same thing, like I am so delicate when fiddling with electronics parts. James on the other hand, ahhh Cut this, glue that, won't need that, twist off the capacitors, All works XD
I've never seen someone defile a machine so thoroughly and still have it be useful. If I saw someone playing on this in public I'd probably beat them to death with my bare hands. Excellent work.
James has the Same Chaotic energy as wade, yet so much more precise it’s like watching a Lazy chef who’s great at cooking without trying. I absolutely love it
This may literally be the greatest console to hand held I have ever seen! You literally cavemanned those electronics into submission with clippers and duct tape! Incredible subbed and liked
@@Schnort Oh no no no do not get it twisted. I have seen great console and handheld builds immaculate builds but the way this many literally goes caveman status on this the way he goes I need nothing at all but old trash the way he goes AMERICAN PARTS RUSSIAN PARTS ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!! Beating it into a usable thing is ART!!!
@@grant8653 I asked my friend to name Sonic characters that she had never seen before, and that's what she called Big the Cat. Thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I've imagined this channel to be quiet and calm. But this is making me crack up just as much as Wade does. You manage to portray such chaotic calmness, love it!
Have you seen what he does to a car to get it from dead to living even without the right parts? Or even without the WRONG parts? Of COURSE it was going to have a sort of A Team/Mad Max vibe to it 😂
It’s funny, because in the car builds, he comes across as the “mature, collected” one. Now, I’m starting to realize that the reason they get along is because they’re both different kinds of crazy. 😂
The sheer confidence in this man to just cut things up so haphazardly yet so knowledgably, I feel like I'm watching an oximoron and I love it. Good video
totally agree OMG. as a beginner to electronics repair/modding, I feel like I'm 100x more careful than this and 100x more destructive not knowing what I'm doing
Man, I watch other building channels and they are so clinical and precise making sure not to damage anything and then there is you. You open and deal with things the same way I do, you might be my spirit animal.
Fun fact those cheap screens usually have a step down converter to make the 12v into 5v. you could bypass it and then not need a step up converter at least for the screen
What I like about this... is I know it looks like you're being super rough with components and soldering and such... but really I like that you're showing that this stuff can be easy and for the most part durable. It's a well done video.
there's also a parallel in that one respects technology (if you can call a nugget technology) and gets it to work by prayer and commitment and the other tears technology apart and forces it to stay alive and do his bidding
There's something immensely satisfying about seeing someone who obviously knows what he's doing and has the skill to do things properly just going full jenk and doing the kind of thing I would end up doing after trying to do it properly...
IDK if this is already a thing but I think this video should be classified as Solder-Punk. Kinda like cyberpunk, but instead of combining various digital and cybernetic components in a haphazard way to create a punk aesthetic, it's the combination of analog and PCB elements in a punk way. I love it!
I think the Cyberpunk genre does cover jank but functional approach to technology like this. Technology is so prevalent and often discarded every aspiring techie can weld together junk to do whatever they want. They way James did it, with pliers, hot glue and duct tape, is very reminiscent of how William Gibson described the Rastafarian space station and the the Finn's tech in Neuromancer.
I often forget how resilient this stuff is. When I open my electronics for repairs, I'm always so careful. Watching James hacking away at this board with reckless abandon gives me anxiety!
The way you just tore the thing apart and then taped the whole thing together, leaving the circuitry the only form of stress-relief... This is my new favourite channel.
It's such a art form of someone's understanding of what they are doing: If they are capable of fully succeeding while simultaneously not even worrying about "Anything u don't need to worry about!"
Wade wasnt exaggerating when he said that you are some sort of tech wiz and genius in multiple fields I love you presentation, technical knowledge, ingenuity and fun fact telling Best of luck to you mate
This feels like when you were a kid and you put a pen back together and had like 37 bonus pieces, except somehow the thing works better than it used to when you do it
what looked like a hack job with you ripping stuff off that PCB seemingly randomly with your pliers ended up being one of the most amazing modding video i've ever watched. thank you for taking the time to put these videos together, absolutely brilliant :D
Man after long enough it stops being horrifying and just becomes incredibly impressive. Like finding a car that should not have been road legal but with a jank fix or two is back in action.
I can't believe this man invented a portable gameboy. Obviously he had to use super gameboy as a workaround, but I still never thought I'd see the day.
@@CelesteWuffDankPods isn’t competing against James. James is an awesome dude who is knowledgeable in areas DankPods (Wade) isn’t- that’s why they’re friends. Wade is “sharing” him with his audience by getting James’ channel off the ground, and I’m personally grateful.
What i love about this is the confidence cutting things out cause you know so much about it that even if you fuck things up, it’s barely an inconvenience. I do the same with kitbash miniatures and creating concept art. Ive been doing it for so long that I don’t need to be much methodical about things, cut twice, never measure.
Melting the plastic parts is called heat staking! Its used to permanently mount pcbs in plastic housings. Its cheaper and easier to automate then screws, which is why its used. Easiest way to remove them is to heat up the plastic with a heat gun/hot air soldering iron and pry up on the board (gently) Source: i used to be a service engineer for products that use heat staking
As a slight technician,I absolutely hate this man for him not de-soldering the stuff most of the time,but it makes it even more hilarious and goofy to watch.
I see that you've taken a lot of inspiration or got some guidance from Wade. The camera looking down on a table with hands doing most of the talking, the random pet interlude at the end of the video, and you've even got the SNES equivalent to the ShrekPod. Feels a little empty without music but I'd say you got something going here!
In a world full of precisely machined aluminum cases, and 3d printed parts and custom made PCBs and high quality screens it's so nice to see a guy gluing a lot of junk together and making it work LMAO
My old job was the final assembly of ECUs for brand new vehicles, and seeing the stark difference in how you handled this circuit board to how we were trained to handle them is honestly beautiful and horrifying. I kinda wanna send this to my old boss just to give him a heart attack lmao.
I usually watch people who mod consoles and stuff and they're super meticulous about making it clean and stuff, but how you were cutting PCB's and ripping stuff off the board caught me so off guard it made me laugh pretty hard. Awesome job!
I love it, no super long and dramatic intro just straight to the point. Nice editing and getting all the important parts + comedy is extra points! I laughed so many times
As a Brazilian, i have the honor to award you James with the "Gambiarra Master" medal for pushing the boundary of technical engineering to a whole new level. Congrats
I made a PSP before Sony did when I was in highschool, the monstrosity was made using a PS2 slim, a 2 cell laptop battery, and an LCD screen from a car DVD player setup Mine used a lot less duct tape than yours though
I love how you not only left in your mistakes, showing how even the smartest of people screw up often, but also why you did them, what it did, and how you fix it! Very educational and "real" if that makes any sense. NEVER change from this style. I love it! Keep up the good work mate
Honestly love the rapid fire explanations of the floor bound bits. Most other tech channels would give the history of the RF adapter before getting to the portablization
Ngl, this is very inspirational. I always try to make my weird projects as jank-free as possible, but seeing how well this works, I feel like I have permission now to cobble together some really trashy sh*t. Thank you.
I came here from Wades channel and I do not regret it. I love stuff like this since I used to be a computer repair tech/tech recycler as my main profession before getting into the gaming industry. I used to get away with tearing down all kinds of old consoles and computers so this sort of stuff makes me super nostalgic.
I've never seen someone literally attack sensitive components with such a Laissez-faire approach. It's like guerilla warfare on soldering and re-arranging of components. Keep up the good work!
I'm so used to engineering my way to do things nicely in my projects. It's really refreshing to see someone just bodge something together and see it work. I love the video man!
