Hey, thank you, I will try that next time!

Interesting. After recording the video I replaced the capacitor again, and installed a 450v. It also fitted inside the shell.

Thank you for the notes! I replaced again the capacitor after recording the video, installed a 450v one without extending its legs. It surely runs hotter, I don't know if noisier (didn't check with my oscilloscope), but it is much more elegant than connecting a stepdown transformer. I also don't like it very much, but saw many people doing it so I tried it. What do you think about replacing the electronics inside the PSU for a modern AC-DC board?

@@maurobarreca You mean picoPSU's or what? From what I could experience the problem relies that all parts on the hot side of the PSU PCB are not rated for 220v, that including the first DC transformer, there is more toll on mosfets and regulators are they'll have to deal with more voltage and harmonics. That's why is a solution I don't like personally. What I did in my case is just to have the internal linear transformer of a 45W stepdown installed into my SAI that why is disguised then to a strip of american/japanese type. Also for N64's you can use just a PAL psu it will work and it avoid all the necessary mods.

@@TengoReuma yes, no doubt that using a PAL PSU would be the optimal solution, it just is more expensive and not very interesting for a video 😄. Here where I live they're also not easy to get, or if you get them, and they're not a chinese clone, they're just so expensive. On the other side I have done some research before making the video, and couldn't find a schematic of the PSU, so I coudn't check the ratings of some of the components. For what I could check I deduced that the PSU was designed for both 220v and 120v in mind, but limited just by the components I changed (I don't know if this makes sense, surely I'm wrong). I would like to get a PAL PSU just to compare the two and make some conclusions. In short I will receive a Japanese N64 so I will make another video like this sometime in the future, after researching this stuff you are telling me. Thank you so much for the data!

@@maurobarreca Keep on keeping on ! :)

Muchas gracias por pasar!

Thanks a lot!

Yes I could, but that wouldn't be fun :) . On the other side, I think that these PSUs were designed from scratch for multiple voltages, and were just limited by country via these components that I replace in the video. There shouldn't be problems caused by this mod.

Yes, you are right. The capacitor should be made for 400v. I thought it should fail immediately if the rating was exceded. I mistakenly thought that 220v was peak voltage, not RMS, so went for the smallest cap in size. I will add a note on the video.

Yep, after rectification he will have approximately 300v

@@linserxx but you left in the 280V one, won't it explode sooner or later? I don't know how high the voltage in Argentina can go, but in Europe it can go as high as 253V within spec, at that voltage the DC voltage can reach 357V, better be safe than sorry and put a 400V cap in there

Yes it should. I mistakenly took 220v as peak voltage. I expected the cap to fail immediately if the limit was exceded, but it didn't happen, so I thought it was safe. I also went for the smaller cap in size, so it could fit inside the shell. I will add a note on the video.

He, thank you. I already changed it.

Yes, just take into account that in the video I installed a 250v capacitor, when it should be rated for at least 400v. Thanks to you for watching!

Gracias a vos!

Gracias!

Gracias a vos! A veces se complica porque tengo el estudio en un lugar céntrico y hay mucho ruido de la calle (en algunos videos se escucha).

😂

Hi! There's no definitive scheme, every clone is different, it always have something to do with connecting some pins (between pins 14 and 17) to 5v or GND. I'll share with you this forum thread (in Spanish) that I used as reference.

Thanks 👍

Je, si, este video en particular no va a ser muy atractivo para quienes no hayan tenido un Family.

Si, es como vos decís.

Je, pienso hacer algo así con el otro Family en otro video.

Muchas gracias!

Hola! Es por la llegada. La idea original era tener un canal en castellano y otro en inglés, pero hace poco KZbin lanzó una función multilenguaje. El tema es que todavía no edtá disponible para todos, igualmente edtoy grabando en paralelo los audios en castellano para publicarlos apenas se pueda. Por ahora sólo puedo ofrecer subtítulos. Disculpá las molestias, espero que no haga al capítulo menos atractivo. Gracias!

@@maurobarreca bien, sí. Es que me llamó la atención, por eso. Con respecto al mod. Tengo una Electrolab ENDING-MAN que en algún momento pienso hacer el mod. Pal 60, pero había visto que sólo le levantan el pin 16 y lo conectan a 5v. En tú mod. Veo que levantaste el 16 y 17 , sí no me equivoco... Gracias

Je, si, se levantó por eso. Igual estaba corroído el pad así que se soltó más facil de lo normal.

That's what I used.

Yes they are. Here in Argentina almost everyone had clones, and it was almost impossible or very expensive to buy original games. It wasnt until the 5th generation that we started to use exclusively original consoles (but with pirated games). So everything before the PS1 is a rare item here.

I'm getting ready my next video!

Hola, gracias! Tiene los subtitulos!

Si, es de The Best. Yo también compraba ahí hasta que aprendí a grabar mis propios CDs je. Gracias por el halago!

No tengo idea, el nombre no estaba visible.

Estoy en eso! Se me complica con los tiempos, en la epoca en la que empece estabamos en pandemia y tenia bastante tiempo libre. Ya tengo un par de videos grabados, apenas pueda vuelvo! Gracias!
