This Old Nintendo Has A Strange Problem #SHORTS Famicom VRAM Replacement
This Famicom had an unusual problem where the graphics would always appear scrambled / garbled / distorted / corrupted. After a little research, I found out that the memory chips are a potential cause of distorted video. Thankfully there is a modern replacement for the failing components.
In this video I will be creating a physical copy of an NES game that was never released. Using Bio Force Ape as an example, this video will cover the process of creating a TLRom reproduction from start to finish. (Advanced MMC3 NES Reproduction Tutorial)

I have seen a few of these TCL TVs that have a problem with the backlight. In this video I will show you how to repair a very common problem for cheap TVs. This TCL 55s401 needs a replacement backlight. Lots of TVs with similar problems get thrown away because large televisions are getting cheaper. Repairing your old TV can be a fun way to save some money and avoid contributing to the growing E-waste problem.

Everyone loves the Nintendo Gameboy. With all the recent hype surrounding Artificial Intelligence, I thought it would be a fun idea to see if AI could build a custom Gameboy. In this video I get to talk to ChatGPT about the ultimate modded Gameboy. Deep AI image generation is used to inspire the design for a custom printed Gameboy shell. I have really been impressed by the quality of the Funnyplaying LCD screen and the Retrosix Gameboy shell. Since there are already so many amazing Gameboy build videos on the internet, I thought it would be fun to add a unique spin by handing the reigns over to an AI model.
