@dmcc0 Happy days 🥳 Each time I read your posts on this topic, there's a part of me that wants to join in, bigly. But there's another party of me that has a very many devices in very good condition already, so cannot justify the space or time, so please know that you have my full support.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@gcunit Thanks. It was nice to finally get something fixed, gives you a real buzz when something that previously wasn't working is brought back to life. Admittedly, this wasn't a particularly tricky fix - quite simple in fact, but I'll happily take the easy win this time. I've never had a PSP before, so I'm probably going to keep this one. The plan is not to buy anything more for now and concentrate on fixing the stuff I've already got, but I've said that before...
This all started out because I wanted to re-buy some of the stuff I'd regretted getting rid of when I was younger, was looking for a Mega Drive and noticed how inexpensive faulty ones were. After a bit of research, I figured it was something I could probably fix it myself.
Ordered a Retro-Bit 'Slate Grey' Sega Saturn Controller(Original port), which i plan to use with MiSTer Pi, with a SNAX adapter in the near future. And a Clear Blue Sega Genesis '6-button' Retro-Bit pad(Original port).
And I can't stand how the 6-button genesis controllers look. It's either all black, clear blue or clear red. They're just not fun iconic looking controllers. Aside from the original 1989 'red accented' 3 button GEN controller. That thing is a beaut' and actually has character. Especially the whimsical pastel face button'd Dreamcast controller, which is my personal favourite out of all of Sega's controllers .
The Saturn Slate Grey edition looks really nice too thanks to the multi coloured shoulder & face buttons. Wouldn't mind the white version too, but that's limited to being 2.4ghz wireless, which unfortunately has a whopping 16ms/1 frame of lag. Retro-Bit's 2.4ghz controllers, input lag-wise, just can't get as low as 8-BitDo's 2.4g line up.
Oh, and a Genesis Mini/Classic 3-Button Controller. The D-pad feels a bit recessed, and i wish the A,B & C buttons were just a little snappier. Looks awesome though, but i still prefer to use the 6 button based on feel.
