I Put a Wii in this CRT Shank Mods 2023-01-09 | I put a Wii on a BVM input card. Fun little side project.Not big or crazy enough for a full length video, so I made a short instead.If someone is using this video to try to sell you a CRT using this video, or saying it's worth more because it's "viral", they are probably trying to sell it to you for far more than it's worth, and far more than they bought it for. This model of monitor is finicky, difficult to service, and very particular about video signals and sync. I would not recommend this model to a novice in the CRT hobby, especially at the unreasonable prices people ask for them.
I Made a Handheld Virtual Boy (The Real Boy) Shank Mods 2021-06-09 | I spent a year of my life making the Virtual Boy less awful. Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. You can get 10 PCBs of your own design for $5. They also offer 3D printing, machining, and many other prototyping services. pcbway.comKEYCHAIN UPDATE: 6/20/2021Thank you to everyone who sent me mail! After receiving a volume of mail far larger than I ever expected (https://i.imgur.com/iltDyFK.png), I am now ending the keychain PCB giveaway. I hope to do something like this again; it was a lot of work, but a lot of fun. I will try my best to work through the letters postmarked before the cutoff date, and prioritize the remaining keychains. If your letter is sent after the date, I cannot promise you will get anything sent back. I would love to get one to everyone indefinitely, but my time is limited, and its time to get to work on my next project.Or you can purchase a small batch of the PCBs yourself using this link:pcbway.com/project/shareproject/GCJC_Keychain.htmlSocial Media:Twitter: twitter.com/ShankModsInstagram: instagram.com/shankmodsDiscord: discord.gg/2RqWBXuPatreon: patreon.com/ShankModsThanks to CrashBash, Mitch, and Bassline for helping me complete this project.Crashbash: twitter.com/CrashBash000Mitch: twitter.com/themitch22Bassline: bassline.meOther Links:Furrtek: twitter.com/furrtekHyperFlash32: retroonyx.comMUSIC:Main theme:"Mrs. Jones" Under Dog House - open.spotify.com/artist/75mUcf0JTxH0OOdwsKTCQROther Music:"Downtown The Neon Orchestra" - Echo Visor - echovisor.bandcamp.com"Family Reunion" - The Rotisserie Chickens - open.spotify.com/artist/1dX7LFMxuwFoHVTuOvwB6S"Unkept Promises" "Juno" and "Subsurface" - XHI - open.spotify.com/artist/5fBjBnCunwUmZExEDL075h"Cigarettes" - Never Friends - open.spotify.com/artist/6ci5ATH3jryInISptcdfUr"Up and Down" - The Happy Alright - open.spotify.com/artist/0fxiDpK1kH9taDK7gJtz5m"Calm Before the Storm" "Night Time, Night Life" - Retrograde Motion - open.spotify.com/artist/3cxJxdLnBL9twoP0NEBums
G-Boy: Wii / GameCube Portable DIY Kit Shank Mods 2020-04-22 | Modders have been building Wii Portables for years. But now, for the first time ever, talented members of the community have created a kit to make building a portable more accessible than ever. This is the story of the Gboy kit. UPDATE:Unfortunately, the BitBuilt Store has shut down, and the Gboy kit has been discontinued. But all is not lost! Gman, Aurelio and I started a new storefront called "4 Layer Tech" where we sell improved versions of all the boards you need to make your own Wii portable! 4layertech.comGman's YouTube Channel: youtube.com/gmanmodzMY SOCIAL MEDIADiscord: discord.gg/Urr35UcTwitter: twitter.com/ShankModsInstagram: instagram.com/shankmodsPatreon: patreon.com/ShankModsBusiness Inquiries:inquiries@shankmods.com------Recommended Tools---------IRONS--Hakko 888D - amzn.to/3aDdSZaThe most popular and recommended iron in the community. Used to be the iron I used til I upgraded to the much more expensive Hakko 951. Tips are inexpensive and there are a huge varietyTS-80 - amzn.to/2Y5JapiSupposedly a great iron, recommended by several of my friends, but I've personally never used it. USB C powered. Recommend purchasing a chisel tip as well.--Rotary Tool--Tool - amzn.to/2VCt3haFor cutting the board. I have the harbor freight one, but this looks to be the exact same one but re-branded. Has served me great for years. Please wear safety glasses.Cutoff Wheels - amzn.to/355nM4GA cheaper dremel (rotary tool) is perfect, but I highly recommend getting nicer cutoff wheels. I've purchased a ton of different cutoff wheels, and these ez lock ones have always performed the best for me--Multimeters--Neoteck - amzn.to/2Y5X3DUEntry level meter. Auto ranging. Should do the jobFluke 117 - amzn.to/2VVLRHbMy personal multimeter, if you want something fancier. --Hand Tools--ScrewdriversBasic - amzn.to/2S81ESaComplete kit - amzn.to/2Y4ohdZI love my ifixit kit to death. I have like 4 of them. They can open anything. But the simple 3 pack should do the trick.Flush cutters - amzn.to/355kv5uHad these since 2014Wire strippers - amzn.to/2KuHw8uMagical tool. Never going back to manual wire strippersHelping handCheap (will do the job) - amzn.to/3cGrFQeDurable (will last) - amzn.to/2VF3QTrHolds things. Useful if you only have 2 armsTweezers:Cheap (will do the job) - amzn.to/2KAoihWDurable (will last) - amzn.to/3cYwhRQTiny fingers. Like using cheat codes. Don't abuse your tweezers. They aren't pry tools.--Supplies--22 awg stranded wire - amzn.to/3cSGMq5Use this for power. Perfect thickness for power in portables. Multiple colors lets you color coat voltage lines. Stranded keeps it from breaking inside the insulation and driving you crazy34 awg magnet wire - amzn.to/3bEILOlUse this for all your data lines. The enamel coating protects it from shorting. Make sure to tin it properly.Solder (Kester 63/37)Spool (recommended) - amzn.to/3bEJ2ARTube (not very much) - amzn.to/2S8XAkqThe good stuff. Leaded solder makes everything easier, and your joints better. Not any more dangerous than lead free solder, just don't eat it. 63/37 is the ideal ratio. Thinner is betterFlux - amzn.to/2Y2N7uMKester 951. Great flux. Soldering without flux is like washing dishes without soap. It just makes everything work soooooo much easier. Solder braid - amzn.to/2KALEEaFor fixing small oopsies. Solder braid is like an eraser. Good eraser erases. Bad eraser just schemers stuff all over your work. Good solder braid is worth it.Solder Sucker - amzn.to/3axp21KFor fixing big oopsies. You don't need a nice one, cheapest one you can find will do.
