So, some of you will know I have been selling modding parts to the community for coming on 10 years now. It had always been a side business or a "plan b". Well, as of today that is no longer the case. I officially quit the "day job" and the notice period is over. Today is my first day as a free man.
So this brings a lot more free time, so I am looking at bringing premods and console modding services back (I stopped them at least 5 years ago!!).
It will also mean I have a lot more time for the all the projects I have intended to do and never had time for. So watch this space for new in house products.
Also looking at expanding the site offering, this will include more of the open source projects that are out there. But also actively seeking out hobbyist that have something cool to make, but no real platform or experience manufacturing. Please get in touch if this sounds like you!
well done ! You’ll have way better life doing things you love. It’s a very hard move so congrats to you and I can’t wait to buy you something.
Have already some stuff on my mind, I just wait for the 3do rgb mod to come back before ordering ☺
By the way, where are you working from ? US ? UE ? ASIA ? if you make a modding service, this info is something important to know ☺
Cheers !
Hi there, would you give me some infos on the phantom chip? Is this just doing stuff with the 13 bytes sent in SPI. I can see it inverts byte 12
before it kicks in then the last status byte which is always 0×00 becomes 0×01, which it does a few times while in action and I assume keeps messing up the CRC of the commands until the seek ring stuff is over and it sends normal seek commands to start loading the game. are you sending ring data via I2s.. that confuses me. It’s an audio protocol after all. Basically I’ve logged EVERYTHING between loading the same game with/ without a phantom chip over SPI. Keen to see how this does Region free.
Anyway – you might be interested in my DFO which you can sell if you like. I will be testing when the other parts arrive.

Theres also a simple IGR (same combos as pyros) but i just bitbanged.
Also a SNES IGR
And you might be interested in testing and stocking my “Super-1” RGB board for all revision of 1-chip SNES/SFC and early N64 (though you should make the board skinner for N64)

Also check out ‘UberNee’
maybe you want to make a PCB, but the micro boards are tiny and like $1.50 each Australian.
I don’t know if you wana sell preflashed ones – I can’t list that stuff on eBay anymore.
Cheers man

Good for you! I made a similar decision to quit my day job years ago to do what I love. Congrats. Now you’ve convinced me to buy something here, as well.
