This episode has us taking a look at the latest news surrounding the 6.0.0 update for Nintendo Switch, as well as the preparation being done around this update for CFW and other applications in the homebrew community. We check out some new releases, such as SwitchME and a guide dedicated to ReiNX, as well as chime in on a new takedown Nintendo has put through for the RPG Maker toolkit called Pokémon Essentials. Also, PS2 support dropping in... 2018? More on that in the show.

Following up quickly from last week's episode of ModChat, but I decided to cover some topics here I originally wanted to cover last time around. This time we're looking at the 35th anniversary Game & Watch being modded as well as some awesome, quietly released homebrewed game ports to the Switch! The Xbox family returns with SMC+ being released and we take a look at the awesome progress Insignia seems to be making. A new game launcher for the PlayStation Vita, and finally the PSX game Driver 2 being ported to... PC? Stay tuned.

This time around on Let's Repair we have a guest on for the first time: my friend Sean! This video is all thanks to him as this is his original Xbox One X Project Scorpio edition we repaired. After dealing with months of general slowdown, errors auto-saving, and countless other issues it seemed his Xbox One X decided to take a long nap. This resulted in the console being able to turn on and off, but not displaying any sort of signal when hooked up to a screen. Many people would instantly point to something wrong with the HDMI port or encoder chip, but based on what Sean had told me I thought it might be worth inspecting the internal hard drive.
So far this is also the longest episode to date as we had several discussions while working on this together. I thought those would be entertaining for the audience to listen to, so I decided to keep most of our talking in the video.

Packing a punch this month with a slew of topics ranging from the PS4 to PS2, Vita, Switch, and... Pregnancy tests? The much anticipated 6.72 jailbreak for PS4 has released and is slowly becoming more stable with each update to the jailbreak itself. The PS2 also got some great updated support in the form of FunTuna, a fork of Fortuna which now truly allows for FreeMCBoot on EVERY PS2 without the need for a hardmod! FreeDVDBoot also has been backported to more DVD Player versions, meaning phat PS2 consoles are slowly but surely gaining support for it. PS4 firmware downgrading isn't possible (yet) but we're getting close with a confirmed firmware reverting method now out in the wild! We also now have an awesome new plugin to clean up PSP games on the Vita like never before. Finally, some Switch news, some of it bad news, and some of it just... Weird and out of nowhere? Stay tuned.

Going solo again for this episode of Mario's Minute! As July was a bit of a busy month for me, I spend some time talking about what's been going on recently. In the gaming world, I give my thoughts on the price hike we'll be seeing for next generation consoles with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games retailing for $70 US Dollars. The Xbox One gets some love this episode as I ask the listeners about an issue I ran into recently while refurbishing one. Oh, and there's a dead squirrel story in here.

The PSP's built-in emulator for original PlayStation games is without a doubt one of my favorite features the system has to offer. With a modified PSP, a few of your favorite PS1 games, and PSX2PSP you can easily convert your PS1 games to have them on the go! This process requires you to make a backup of your original game disc and convert it to aa EBOOT file for use with the PSP. Even better is the ability to save on storage space, since PSX2PSP features a really nice compression option.
This video assumes you already have a PSP with CFW installed and a basic understanding of how to navigate it. If you are wanting to look into installing CFW on a PSP, look further down in the description of this video to find a link covering how to do this. This also works for a PS Vita, PSTV, or Vita TV utilizing Adrenaline.

One issue with the PlayStation VR headset is that the vision on this things seems to be just a tad bit too... Blurry. At first I thought it was just me, but after Googling the issue and mentioning it in a previous video I had found out that this is an ongoing issue which many PS VR owners are complaining about. Although existing methods have not gotten rid of it (to my knowledge), there are a few methods to greatly reduce the amount of blur you'll see straight through the PS4 itself! In addition to that, I also provide some tips on cleaning the headset itself as well as the oh so precious lenses capable of doing all the magic.
