The original issue turned out to be a faulty power supply. While I wait for those fuses to come in figured I would replace the board caps and add the GEM.
You must log in or register to comment.
Why did you re-cap?
Just preventive maintenance. N64 caps aren’t prone to failure (since before the plague) but they are reaching 30 years old soon.
Can you give a link to the mod parts you used?
Sure! What is currently installed.
- Pixelfx Gem N64 Variant Install documentation has a link to 3d print parts to do a no cut, which you also can buy from laserbear
- Console5 Cap Kit
- 3d Printed Region Free Tray or for sale version
To Be Installed:
Thanks! One goal I have for this sub is for it to be a jumping off point for folks looking to learn about what’s out there. This extra info adds a lot to your post, rock on.
No problem. Also also leave this video here as well. It goes over the N64Digital install, which the soldering steps are exactly the same as the Gem. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to get into this type of soldering work.
