They're a Taiwanese contract manufacturer serving many big names such as Sony, Microsoft, Apple and many others. Send schematics, blueprints, parts lists, a lot of cash, and have them manufacture your product. CMs are basically big shared factories.
not sure what happened to you Paul? no videos in over a year... miss seeing your mods. ive been modding my systems lately, my ps2 has a noctua fan mod and plays games from a hard drive now, my ps1 has a memcard pro which allows it to use micro sd cards as storage, i have 32gb card in it which is equal to 256 ps1 memory cards! my Dreamcast has a noctua fan mod as well and im currently putting a GC digital in my Gamecube! to say your videos are inspiring is a understatement. hope you come back to RU-vid soon man, we miss ya.
adam sommmer!! i'm glad you enjoyed man, sometimes i wonder if the stuff i make is bogus, i think i always feel that way, even though in the moment i'm so excited about doing it, i know i love it, and when you always enjoy whatever it is, it really really really helps so much, you have no idea. thank you so much man. i owe you
Please come back with a PS2/PS3/VITA video. Maybe even do a breakdown of all your consoles since you minimized and sold your collection. Also, I hope all is well and you're healthy
Neat stuff. Took apart a PS1 multitap just to make sure everything was clean and it looked about the same. Wire led into a big main chip that split off into each port.
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Meant that the main controller wire led to a that big chip that split off to each port but thanks for the sick mod idea 😄 Didn't finish the video before commenting and saw the PS1 multitap. That small connector for the other half of the board to form a right angle is such a neat idea.
I spoke to Paul. So far he's doing alright. But he's been debating on whether he should make video game content again vs making others types of content. Hopefully we should see another video from him in the near future.
Nice teardown video. I wonder if you can do video were you repair a fat PS2 Multitap. I own one when buying a Fat PS2 2nd hand and the Multitap does not work. It can power on my controllers, analog light and my wireless controller dongles, but they do not respond and memory cards cannot be detected. There is nobody on RU-vid that has ever done a Multitap restoration.
Foxconn is that wonderful company where they had to install nets under the windows so people would finally stop to suicide themselves on the job ^-^ I'm not kidding btw.
i appreciate that, i dont think this one will blow up, due tue alot of personal issues this year, i let my channel die by not making videos for so long, so i extra appreciate you watching this one
Have a fat and slim multitap. I wonder what the bga chip inside the fat network adapter does? Nice desoldering hardware by the way! Have a good day @RETROGAMINGARTS!
@Retro Gaming Arts I saw your video on external power supply for fat ps3, I would like you to do that for me is there a way to contact you to talk details?
oh man, you just put something on my list... i seen a boxed one my buddy had and it came with the mouse pad, i wanted that PS logo mouse pad soooooo bad, ive taken apart several ball mouses in my day, so i seen the insides of those, i wonder whats different inside the PS mouse.......
by using the dummy memory card board inside the multi tap? i mean, in theory i'm sure you could, there is additional circuitry in the mx4sio that you would have to add and wire it all up manually, so it would probably be harder to turn this into one than need be
