It's very straightforward. If you're feeling fancy you can use a soldering iron to get it off but a bit of gentle rocking with a pliers will free it just as easily.
The Xbox comes apart quite easily too. No need for the posh screwdrivers, the basics will do

That's alright then, thanks, I've had it open when I changed the hard drive, soldering is beyond me, so I'll go with the plier option.

This link will show you where the capacitor is located on the board, I'm on my phone so I can't share the images directly but everything is there

It depends on the console though, as the later Xboxes cannot operate without the clock capacitor.

The later Xboxes don't have one.
It's the earlier consoles have issues but any softmod or hardmod removes that dependency

Bad burn? Have you tried a self booting image?

Might be, lowest write speed on my sister's laptop is 10x. Must try a self boot later but I'll also use something other than Utopia.

What's with this song going on in the background of the Clare/Cork rivalry vid just now on Telly Eireann?

Oh, and by the way, I went to Token yesterday and managed to beat TMNT.

So theflow0 released the Vita hack today. Unfortunately the hack needs to be initialized after each power down or reboot.

Will update later when I have Retroarch running!

Did they play Derrick May's original you linked or a remix?

Would be strange if they played the original as its fairly undeground sounding.

Aren't modern consoles stupidly expensive over there?

I think the prices are comparatively high, compared to the low average income.
Apparently the average income there, per month, is about 520 dollars US. The US itself is 4.8k gross.
So a PS4/XB1 is not far shy of a monthly income in Brazil.

As far as I know there's also a massive tax on importing foreign made electronics. I think Sega licensed production of the Mega Drive mainly to bypass it back in the day

Lots of these old games have surprisingly manic modding communities. I used play a lot of Total Annihilation and at there's a third game engine currently being built from scratch that supports all the original game file types 1:1 cos the guy thinks he could do a better job. The amount of work people put into these things is insane.

Wonder if there are any sites where you can buy those old TecToy MD and MS games? Ebay does not get much of the stuff.

If they were sold here they'd probably be sold as @RARE@ I'd imagine!

Sonic 1 for the Sega Megadrive
Rare cart from 1990’s
No box, slight label damage
Getting hard to find these now
€45 no offers

Would even just be cool to scroll through a site and see if there are any differences between box art and so on.

Is anyone heading to the 8-bit retrogaming conference at the end of the month? Thought there would be a bit more hype about it on here.

Went last year, was a bit meh, didn't go to any of the talks which would have made it better i guess.

Was back stage at Queen last night playing pac man, Sega rally and point blank 2 on the arcade machines they had there with Brian May's grandson.

Your next line better be;

I approached Brian May with my copy of Rise of the Robots and said;

'Hey Brian, I meant to get you to sign this last time we met, can I have your autograph please?'

Brian chuckled, signed the boxart and cart while regaling me with stories about producing the soundtrack for the game and the hype surrounding it.
