I got a BLW years ago, snagged one since they're always sold out, and it's been collecting dust because I immediately noticed the death grip before installing it and was like "nuh uh" Glad to FINALLY see an alternative! Edit: Just pre-ordered it. Hell yeah, been waiting years for this
That lockout bypass chip should also prevent the infamous blinking screen problem from occurring, since the lockout chip is the whole source of that problem to begin with. Smart addition.
Hey, Tito! Another excellent episode on a fascinating new option for the retrogaming community, I really dig your content's exposure of applied design and science to improving the user experience after official options are no longer possible. One of the things you do with production values is consistent and classy music selection, but I'd like to request if it's possible to cite the track used in the outro of your Retro Renew episodes in your description template since it's a really catchy track and I often find myself having to reverse-research the name of the track every once in a while to find it again. Since Matthew McCheskey's contribution to the intro theme's cited, would it be possible to put the citation below that? Outro Music - Dusty Decks - Stone Cookies via Epidemic Chill Beats Thanks for your attention, and keep up the awesome content!
Even in a clear case and not putting the RF shielding back on I'd have screwed those extra screws into the empty holes. Just so that way I'd never lose them. lol
So if I'm seeing this correctly and hearing this correctly it basically turns the Nintendo entertainment system into a Nintendo DS with the click and click out cartridge slot.
@@MachoNachoProductions ok but the point is, clicking your video caused a page about the promotion disclaimer to pop up, causing your video to disappear and forced me to search it up again.
I have a BLW and I can remove carts by hand with no issue. I also have an Everdrive so don't actually need to remove carts often, but when I do its no hard task.
ok, at first i thought it would be an external NES reader for your game collection drawer 🤣 this is actually way cooler & the best excuse to pull out that Clear Shell
In defense of the Blinking Light Win: NES cartridges don't need to be pulled by that recessed area you were using pliers on. NES carts also have ridges on the right and left sides for grip. So you can easily your two index fingers on both sides of the cart to pull them out of the BLW. It requires more force than the standard connector, sure, but it's still plenty easy
Lol my NES 72 pin is original and the only way it works is if I insert a game and do not engage the push down mechanism, if I push it down it will blink and not work, if I just insert and remove a game, works perfectly.
