    Please help me to bring a 3-5 AES back to life (no sound, no picture)

    The “white bubbles” underneath the board where the bios is located look to me as a result of use of an hot air gun. It may happen at times that using it to complete the desoldering of an IC gives that result if temperature is set slightly too high or hot air hit the board for too long

    Unibios installation AES UK

    I second mutant caterpillar, quality guy but keep in mind he is swamped with work sometimes and might take a time for him to send the console back. Be assured however that when he does it will be in a bulletproof enclosure :)

    AES 3-4 board repair

    Mate, no idea how to help honestly but just wanted to drop a quick message saying you did a fairly impressive job in repairing all those broken traces. Hope you can sort this out soon, fingers crossed

    NeoSTore Disappointment

    This, and also for what they cost (remember something around less than 20$ from Mouser/Digikey) getting one of those Triad Magnetics replacement power supplies mentioned by Neo Alec is a very good idea in general as they provide clean power and the extra amperage doesn’t hurt. The stock AES...

    AES with iffy sound

    Mmmh stock Japanese systems to my experience (had several on hands during the years) do play the intro when first switched on (or upon reset). Also, I agree with BIG BEAR, my suggestion is a bit drastic before even have checked traces or attempting a recap! But yeah, first and foremost opening...

    AES with iffy sound

    If what Neo Alec suggests doesn’t work (try with some Deoxit) I would socket the Yamaha sound chip and replace it with another one you can find sold online (pretty easy to source). But go this route only if you have the right tools to desolder that IC, can be pretty annoying to remove without a...

    Stock Memory card using FRAM

    Opening one of these memory cards can be indeed intimidating, but with an hair drier and an xacto knife (and a bit of patience) is not that difficult. Only part that needs extra attention is the tiny spring soldered on the board that can be easily ripped apart if rushing

    Stock Memory card using FRAM

    Hello folks, Thought to post about this as I found it an interesting little project. Some times ago I randomly came across a Twitter post where the author posted a tutorial on how to transform a stock memory card with SRAM into a memory card capable of hosting an FRAM chip in order to get rid...

    Shito's humble vault

    Really can’t wait to have it in my hands, as soon as I’m back to Italy I will collect it from my sister’s home (where I sent it as the online shop doesn’t deliver to the UK). I remember I could read part of it in the past and was looking forward a physical release because your insights and...

    Shito's humble vault

    Mislabeled Voltage AES in Australia?

    That happened because who made the solder job was probably kinda inexperienced and touched the plastic with the soldering iron while working around the area :)

    Trying to Review Every Neo Geo Game on Youtube

    I know I’m late to the party but…wow the content you are uploading is so very good! Since yesterday I’m hooked watching your Neo reviews playlist and enjoying the hell out of it! Very in depth and some anecdotes were totally unknown to me :) Thanks for this really, hope to see more in the future

    AES - Scart Questions

    Agree with the above, do yourself a favour and do not cheap out on cables. HD retrovision’s ones are very well priced for the built quality they offer. A good set of cables is a wise investment along with a PSU that offers clean power to the console. Stay away from RGB or Component cables sold...

    Omega MVS Cartridge Shells: Kickstarter Now Live!

    I agree on this too, since they are just a try I thought I could show different color scheme and maybe, with some suggestions as this one, improve or find a sort of guideline to follow :) It would be really easy to change image position/font/colors. I thought on this aswell, that's why I asked...
