@bertohuargo Thanks for the kind words! The wave of positive comments is really helpful indeed. And you are right, the Fediverse is a much friendlier place to communicate than the big corporate networks indeed. Feels to me like the internet is healing, at least in this small part of the whole. I hope it’s going to grow and stay healthy and friendly. :)

@gulfie Thanks for the kind words and the support, Phil! And extra kudos for taking a stand against that LLM madness. I have a feeling that human-created work is going to become more valuable in the future (and of course the things "created" by LLMs are going to need a lot of maintenance).

@nensondubois Interesting, thanks for sharing. So retrobrightng does affect the plastic after all.

@nensondubois Any evidence? I haven’t experienced any degradation with retrobrighting when done carefully. Genuinely interested in having some/any kind of proof for the claim that retrobrighting harms plastic in any way (other than changing the color, obviously).

@SupportGrapheneOS_667 Thanks! I have a knock-off Everdrive thing but it doesn’t work very well. I’m going to have to invest in a proper SD solution for playing my "backups" sometime soon, I guess. :D

This restoration required most of the skills I learned over the years: capacitor replacement, circuit board repair, retrobrighting, 3D printing, plastic repair, … Super satisfying to succeed (after taking a few wrong turns along the way, as usual). 😊 #SNEStoration #Nintendo #SuperNintendo #SNES

@ebrnd Yup, that’s probably why it leaked so badly. Replaced it with a ceramic cap now and it works very well so far.

@82mhz Definitely a good idea! (As with all things from the nineties that have SMD electrolytics…)

Apparently, C59 which has the worst leakage is supposed to be a bipolar cap. Nintendo corrected it in the next board revision. 🤦 #Nintendo #SNES

@root42 Yeah, always a treat! 😅
