DKOldies is an online retailer specializing in buying, selling, and trading video games, consoles, and accessories. Although they've been around for a while, they gained quite a bit of popularity within the past 2-3 years due to their TikTok presence. Although they've always been criticized for being more expensive than the competition, in recent times several YouTubers have purchased consoles from DKOldies and inspected them on camera. These consoles are proudly sold as "refurbished" but the results we've seen repeatedly have been shocking.
Multiple consoles have had issues on first boot, such as games not reading in a disc drive. Many have come in questionable cosmetic shape. Several have been dirty internally, and sometimes externally! Although the worst offense might be these consoles not having their thermal paste replaced.
I could have purchased a console from DKOldies, given it a teardown, and laughed about the lack of work done on the console for how much it costs. I decided against that and wanted to do something different, so in this video I take a console I picked up from a thrift shop and show DKOldies what they SHOULD BE doing to classify their consoles as "refurbished" units. Keep in mind I myself am not a professional, and what I'm demonstrating here should be the bare minimum level of work that DKOldies should be performing.

This tutorial aims to show you how to easily convert a jailbroken PS3 with standard retail (CEX) firmware to debug/developer (DEX) firmware! This will allow you to use your PS3 to easily develop, debug, and modify apps/games in real time. This tutorial assumes you have a jailbroken PS3 and at least a basic understanding of how to utilize it. This will go through the process of installing a CEX version of REBUG CFW, installing REBUG Toolbox, converting the console to DEX, and finally installing a DEX version of REBUG CFW.

Hardmodding methods for the Xbox 360 come back once again with one of the coolest implementations I've seen to date in the form of RGH 3.0 from 15432! While previous RGH methods required a glitch chip, different timing files, playing around with different wire routing methods, RGH3 eliminates a lot of that by completely omitting the need for a glitch chip! Why use a glitch chip when we can use the console to glitch itself?! Aside from the NAND wiring, the only other installation in the console is simplified down to two wires and a resistor. That's it!
This video will walk through the process of discussing RGH3, discussing prerequisites, and stepping through a full Xbox 360 S or Xbox 360 E disassembly to get RGH3 installed. The installation itself will cover preparing the required resistor, exposing an incredibly small point to solder to, wiring everything up to the console, and building ourselves a custom NAND for some homebrew goodness.

It's been a few days since the PlayStation VR has released, unfortunately due to other worldly commitments I haven't been able to play it for hours on end each night like I wanted to, but nevertheless I got to try out a bit of all the games I got! It seems I still have to dial in the settings a bit (perhaps doing this not tired would be the best time to do so) but overall the bit I've played around with the headset has been neat!
The games touched up on in here include:
- Batman: Arkham VR
- Driveclub VR
- PlayStation VR Worlds
- Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

This tutorial has been requested for quite a long time but I waited so long because I was not too keen on the many install methods shown out there. A few recommendations to softmod a PS2 with FreeMCBoot normally include: finding a pre-modded console, using a disc swap trick, using Swap Magic, all of which could be a bit costly or time consuming. With this method all we need is one console and a few tools at our disposal! No swap tricks or discs, no pre-loaded memory card, no reliance on any other system!
This involves installing FreeHDBoot to a hard drive, loading it into the PS2 and using that as our entry point to install FreeMCBoot. That's it! No additional games needed and no need to open up our console!

We finally tackle the almighty Joy-Con controller shell swap! This is a LONG tutorial as the process does take a while. With some time, patience, and the right tools on hand, performing a full Joy-Con housing swap isn't all too bad! This will walk through taking apart each Joy-Con controller, swapping over the buttons, rebuilding the Joy-Con controllers, and of course with some tips and tricks sprinkled in the entire time. I would recommend to anyone who has never done this before to set aside about two hours to complete the full process.

This month we're finally joined by a guest! iTzLuPo is one of the first people I had started following in the modding scene when I was initially coming up on YouTube, I had originally found him as many of our tutorials and videos were covering overlapping topics. Although it has been several years since he's uploaded to his channel, he's still been around and we've been in contact with each other for about 5 or 6 years at this point. So... I guess in the end we got to have at least a single collaboration? Either way, I thought it would be awesome to have him on as a guest as well as catch up for the first time in a while. If you're at all familiar with him from the Xbox 360 modding scene several years ago, you'll be in for a treat.
