It has been a very long time since i did a post now. I’ve been so occupied by school that i have had no time to do anything that i really wanted to do.. but anyway.
some tiny words about the super magicom. Back in the 90s when the super nintendo / super famicom came to market. Our friends in China, Hong Kong were amongst the biggest software pirates on home consoles (and still are, more or less). There were made a HUGE amount of different units to do this, also known as backup units. I collect these, and have MANY in my collection. Just recently i got a Super Magicom. For those of you who download snes roms from the net, you’ll always see a .SMC extension, yes, this is because they were usually dumped with this unit (it could even dump the special games using FX/SFX chip and so on).
BUT, the effen seller that sold me this unit had not tried it, and guess what, the litium battery inside had leaked and damaged a lot of the PCB. So, i had to be inventive and do something about it. this is the result!
first, battery leak on one side:
most of the area from above
Happily the acid had only damaged the ground line, so without a new battery, i re-wired it like this:
and restultzzzzzzz
This is how it looks like all assembled back together:
YAY
