Good service</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>This is how summer holiday begins officially for me. <a href="https://schleuss.online/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrogaming</span></a></p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>ah holiday time :-) gives me plenty of opportunities to improve my passion project <a href="https://retro.gold" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">retro.gold</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> - recently improved search a lot, and added a new &quot;wide screen&quot; mode that shows all relevant game info AND the manual above the fold. Try it and give feedback if you want.</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>Self-affirming messaging from AI coding tools is both funny and tragic. (Claude Code)</p>

Cool</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>And its done, my first SMD solder job worked out. My N64 (FRA) now outputs RGB without additional mod board! Amazing 🙂</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>Ok. Ready for next step. Got way better camera, pre heat table and successfully changed SMD components on a test board. N64(FRA) next…</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>I managed to find a launch-day Switch2, and so far, I am impressed. The hardware feels high end and durable, the bigger screen is welcome, my Switch games run fine, and Mario Kart is great fun. Happy with it, glad Nintendo had so much attention to detail, it shows. They literally seemed to have fixed all flaws of the original switch. The onboarding is also very good, fantastic UX there.</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gammitin" class="u-url mention">@<span>Gammitin</span></a></span> Nice, flagging interest. However, I would need shipping to DE.</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>need to correct the statement here. Got my NUS-001(FRA) and while the board is READY for for it, my machine has SMD components missing to make the RGB work :-/ sigh. Just ordered them all, but they are SO tiny, my microscopy equipment is inadequate. Once i dare to do the mod, i ll post about it. Here is a good setup/guide for the mod: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7esB8V-lD1Q&amp;t=298" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=7esB8V-lD1</span><span class="invisible">Q&amp;t=298</span></a></p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>Did you know? The French version of the N64 NUS-001(FRA) is the only version that comes with RGB out of the box? <a href="https://schleuss.online/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> just scored one for cheap :-)</p>

Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>Finally got around to putting an ODE into my Rev1 Atari ST1040. This one presented quite a few challenges (cables too short, directly soldered to board etc). Quite satisfied that the first test works. Now to reassemble it. <a href="https://schleuss.online/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p>My mighty A1200 @ Revision 2025, with an added Lynx for good measure <br />(we at Retroguru released a Lynx entry called &quot;Wayzard&quot; which made #3 in the game compo!). Newton demo next year? :-) <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://icosahedron.website/@revisionparty" class="u-url mention">@<span>revisionparty</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bitbang.social/@newtontalk" class="u-url mention">@<span>newtontalk</span></a></span> <a href="https://schleuss.online/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

It WAS the cable, all i needed to do was to cross the data lines as follows:<br />Thanks for all the tips! Btw only 5 pins need to be connected:</p><p>Newton TxD- (pin 3) connects to Mac RxD- (pin 5)<br />Newton RxD- (pin 5) connects to Mac TxD- (pin 3)<br />Newton TxD+ (pin 6) connects to Mac RxD+ (pin 8)<br />Newton RxD+ (pin 8) connects to Mac TxD+ (pin 6)<br />Ground (pin 4) connects straight through</p>
Emanuel Schleussinger 💾<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@wotsac" class="u-url mention">@<span>wotsac</span></a></span> I know. I am testing with both. I am now sure it’s my cable, which is a 1-to-1 MiniDIN8. Got to cross a few lines. Will report back. I do hope NCX (I got 1.9, which works on Tiger) will work.</p>
