Introducing GC Loader PNP. Now a 100% solder free installation. Each unit will include a drive connector. PCB production will start right after Chinese New Year.
Doing some major cleaning in my lab and found this rare CDI DVS VE-200 in box. For a chance to win this just like and retweet this message. I’ll pick the winner 7 days from now. I’ll cover shipping for the continental US only.
Time for a giveaway!!! Retweet for a chance to win a premodded VA0 NTSC-U DCHDMI console. Winner will picked the 28th. If you don't want to wait, you can also grab one from my webstore right now
Retweet giveaway!!! I just hit 6K followers and to celebrate I'm going to give away a GCLoader PNP. Winner will be randomly picked June 26th. Just retweet to enter. Good luck to everyone.
Infinity switch is real. Going through one more revision. Functionality remains the same but will make adding/removing/changing modules in the middle not a total pain in the ass. With this design change creators will easily be able to design their own input hats.
Some major changes happening on my end.
@chriz2600
and I are proud to be working with
@woozle64
and we have formed a company together, PixelFX. Don't worry PS2/Xbox are still happening :-) We are just going to make some N64's happy first.
Thanks for all the kind words the past few days. I ended up going to the hospital and was diagnosed with covid pneumonia. After a few days of treatment I’m so much better, things can hopefully be back to normal soon.
I'm tired of negative people. I don't need it in my life. If you treat me with disrespect or are out right mean to me then I'm just going to block them.
PS1Digital hardware is final we (
@chriz2600
) just swapped from the MAX10 to the Cyclone10 FPGA. The max10 had less resoures and ran too hot. A thermal pad will be used on the FPGA to shift heat to the outer metal shield.
Long days programming dcdigital kits. I would say there is light at the end of the tunnel but we started production of n64digital kits this week. The fun is just beginning.
The 28th is always a hard day for me, my dad passed away 6 yrs ago from a glioblastoma. We were close, making it the hardest time in my life. I've healed enough where I can talk about it without getting too emotional. Hold the ones you love and make every second count.
Feels good to finally have stock of something. These N64Digitals will be listed for sale around the end the of the month. We will post official details on the
@PixelFXco
.
Wow the PS1 units sold out very fast. More are on the way and a larger batch. Please don't be disappointed if you didn't get one in this first run. We purposely kept it lower stock to avoid problems with production.
OG XBOX UPDATE:
There will be two options:
HDMI in the existing LAN port and xbox LAN functions will be bridged to wifi.
OR
HDMI in the existing LAN port and a separate LAN jack will be adjacent to the HDMI. This will require cutting of the original shell.
GCLoaders are BACK with new hardware (same feature set)! These will go up for sale on Monday the 31st at 2PM ET at the
EU users can purchase from . We will be listing stock at the same time.
Finally have some N64Ds in the oven. Might have some for sale in June 😉
Infinity switch modules are in the final stages. More details soon! With price, availability and how to purchase etc.
The Morph will be right behind the Infinity.
The pocket is 100% emulation device. Not sure why they claim "no emulation". Sure FPGAs have super tight timings and its nothing like win98 copy Nesticle, but its still emulation.
PS1Digital Update: Its time, the first batch of 450 units will listed for sale on Thursday the 17th at exactly 10AM ET.
FYI: There are no spare flex cables yet, I'm waiting on more to arrive.
A new GCLoader has been designed around the part shortage issues with S6 FPGAs. These will go up for sale in July!
In preparation I am clearing out (20 units) new old stock of the original GCLoader PNP at a discounted price.
Might as well leak this info out.
@chriz2600
and I decided to hold off on the PS2 and release a PS1 variant first. Prototypes will be purchased soon. This will be a no cut mod w/HDMI in place of the serial port.
I have updated the GEM PS2Digital support to include all slim models below 7700x. The GH-035 motherboards will work now! Just made it happen with some jumper wire. Will replace this with a proper flex.
This should essentially give support from SCPH-3900x to SCPH-77000x
I'm not trying to screw anyone over. I'm just a guy passionate about retro games trying to sell stuff to other people that are passionate about them too. I do get upset from all the comments and wish I could get a kit in everyone's hand.
Retweet this for your chance to win my Wii with WiiDual (HDMI/RGB/SPDIF). Comes with rbg scart cable as well. Winner will be randomly picked on the 18th.
Webstore is now open to the public, I have a few GCDuals left. I expect them to sell out soon.
A small little project ive been messing around with, analog port replaced with a digital port for the 101 GameCubes. 3.5mm jack carries audio and composite video.
I just got a shipping notification for the next batch of PS1Digitals. I expect to get them on Monday. Once I confirm all is well I will set a date they go live. Thinking, the 3rd or 4th of December.
These past few weeks have been a rough one. Having to move my grandma into a nursing facility and picking up covid shortly after. My nose is finally clear for the first time in a week. I always take for granted a clear nose 👃
The Morph 4k has the most powerful Trion FPGA available (T120). We could have used the T55 but we want to have as much overhead as possible to allow for many advanced filters in the future. This is why we spent the last years moving to Trion, amazing resources for the value!
There will be PS1Digitals for sale on March 24th @ 10AM ET.
Sorry for the delays but its been extremely hard getting these made with the chip shortage we are currently having.
SHOP UPDATES. Most dchdmi units got dropped off yesterday. And most gcloaders will get dropped off tomorrow. If you don’t have a tracking number yet, you will get one in the next day or so.
I’m getting a lot of upset people about the PS1Digital units. These prototype units were sent to my installers to give extra feedback about the install. There is no favoritisms.
I’ve been sick for what has felt like the last 2 weeks. Not Covid but some other respiratory virus. Finally starting to feel better and can get back to projects.
I'm taking some time off starting tomorrow through the rest of the week. I'm going to try and disconnect from the world. 😀
GCLoader sale will still happen at 10AM ET on Sunday.
There will be 4 custom flex cables. The kit will work on 550x and 700x consoles only. We will use a grey match color for the 3d printed plate. Still no exact ETA but its getting really close.
Bad news everyone, around 404 PS1D are DOA. They are fixable will take a lot of time to fix. The current good units will be posted next week on Tuesday. Those curious about the problem, we sourced 404 parts from what looked liked a reputable company, turns out they aren't :-(
PS1Digital zero lag progressive/interlace switching. Dino Crisis has 240p gameplay and 480i menus. Here you can see a direct switch between the two without the TV/Capture device losing sync.
Please thank
@chriz2600
for his VHDL wizard like abilities.
Giveaway time!
I am nearing 1k followers. To celebrate I am giving away 1 GC Loader kit. Winner will be randomly picked 23 July. Simply retweet & like to enter! Good luck everyone!
SHOP UPDATES:
GC-Loaders will be be listed for sale on Thursday the 10th. Right at 10AM ET. They will also be live at the same time on
@GcLoader
site.
PS1 Digital date is still pending. Waiting on flex cables to arrive. Once I confirm they are good I will post a time.
Hey
@GameBitfunx
don't tell people to contact me for issues with DCDigital kits you are selling. If you sell them then YOU provide the support NOT me.
Again, if you buy a DCDigital kit from
@GameBitfunx
,
@KaicoLabs
, etc. We do not provide support.
SHOP UPDATES. I have DCDigital & GCLoader RND1 units in my possession. Orders will be processed and shipped out ASAP. I'm hopeful to have everything out the door by Monday. You will get emailed tracking when it ships. Thanks for hanging in there with me on these delays.
I have received GCLoaders from fab. I will list them on BDT this coming week. I want to get the N64D units listed (tomorrow) and shipped (first part of the week) before listing the loaders.
My last batch of GC Loaders are almost gone. Not sure when more will be available again, will depend on IC shortages.
Just a heads up for anyone still holding out.
PS1Digitals will be out of stock for awhile until we can source parts to get them made. Sucks but there is nothing we can do at the moment.
I've also removed USPS international shipping. The service is just to poor to offer to customers.
Ive been in Florida with my fam for a little vacation this past week. I did however find an incredible retro store
@8bithalloffame
. If you are in the Fort Myers area I suggest you check it out. Also once I’m back look for updates regarding N64D, PS1D, DCDigital & GCLoader
Seems many are upset about the Ethernet. We could easily add a rj45 jack on the inside and people could choose wireless or running a cable to the inside.
Pocket is delayed and shipping in October 2021.
There are sudden and severe electrical component shortages and logistical issues leading to a domino effect of challenges for nearly everyone in the industry.
We're sorry this is happening.
More info:
My web store operates like all other web stores (Exception being ticketmaster and prime day) just because its added to your cart doesn't mean its reserved. If I did reserve it then I would get messages saying "I wasn't able to add to my cart, I was at the website right at 10"
Can't believe it's already been a year! Thanks to everyone for all of your support. Check out our year in review which also has some news about our upcoming products:
