A short update video covering some random bits and pieces for my SNK Neo Geo.
I started another repair to the spares board I received. Also covers a bit about cart plastic cleaning, the problem I have with the 120 in 1 and fitting a 3.3v voltage regulator to the 120 in 1 multicart, as well as a little bit about my intentions to use a PIC micro controller to 'patch' a hardware fault with a NEO-C1 chip. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1HWAWcpVdw
A long video covering my recent pickup of a NES-001. I also talk about my experience of the NES, and why I have nostalgia for a system I never owned up until now.

A quick look at the TMS-5220 speech chip used in the BBC. This chip was also used in other systems and in particular the TI-99/4a and various arcade machines.

A short video covering a couple of black screen SNES pickups. Both cases had minor damage before I bought them, so I wasn't expecting to use the cases. They were extremely badly damaged in transit!

A video looking at the components that Colin sent me. These belonged to the late Alison Challis. Alison was a technical guru that frequented the atari-forum forums. She died in a terrible accident on the 28th of April 2011 =(

A short video covering the new SD Multicart from Retro HQ (SainT). It's a bit like an Everdrive for the Atari Lynx.
Pre-order thread:- http://atariage.com/forums/topic/250637-lynx-multi-card-preorders/page-14
22/05/2016: If anyone is interested, I've updated the menu code (thanks SainT for providing the source! =D ). I will do some more mods later, but for now all I've done is change some of the text colouring, put a version number on there, allow use of right and left on d-pad to go page up or page down, and the B button will just go back a folder regardless of where you are in the list of files.
This is a great device and the open source nature of the menu is great! I am thinking it might be possible to display a tiny image of the selected game next - but I do mean tiny lol. Although with some works I guess it could be totally changed to allow more space for an image and less room for filename listings etc. Just rename your old menu.bin file to menu.old, then copy the new menu.bin on there in the root (just in case you want to revert for any reason).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxdmmfa84npean9/menu.bin?dl=0
I forgot to mentioned at added the standard flip option in there as well, so lefties can use the menu. You need to flip the game again once its loaded though.
