Yeah he should make it so the cpu gets guaranteed voltage of at least 3.3V from bats until they are nearly empty. It does look like as soon as voltage drops then it will bootloop for another 2 minutes. It would be better to see crt dying first and get another minute out of it lol

I've just subscribed to the channel, based on the great sense of relief that I felt as I realised that I'm not the only guy who makes things fit by sawing bits off and glueing stuff together. Not having a 3D printer, I cannot design a new case for something, but have to go through my spare parts box and select items that could be cajoled into serving as part of the new thing. I have done this many times and it's why I have so many items that are 'gravity sensitive'. P.S. Suggested modifications: Li-Ion cells.

Yeah I'm not sure that was the proper way of making the screen automatically switch to CRT! All he had to do is extracting the firmware from the screen kit, load in it a disassembler like Ghidra, debug the firmware and patch it so that it automatically start from CRT... Maybe he was scared of this solution because he doesn't know anything about programming? Who knows... 😆

It is still impressive to me that we figure out how to shoot electrons on a vacum tube to make video-images first and then we made LED's , like one its just RGB pixels that are on or off, CRT , SHOOTS electrons.

When he desoldered and lifted the pin, I was thinking... ok, he's gonna solder that to 5V directly so the chip is ALWAYS being told to output to AV, nice! And then he did the opposite, and disabled AV, exactly as expected.

Not knowing who you are and what you're about then learning through this video has been a delight. Your keen eye for detail and ability to tastefully modify the original casing to fit the crt whilst still looking OEM is an incredible feat. I'm subscribing for more!

@@gamemeister27 not to detract from Irwin's accomplishments, but for the record, Vise-Grips were invented by William S. Petersen in De Witt, Nebraska, in 1924. The Petersen Manufacturing Co. designed, built, and marketed Vise-Grips from 1934 through the mid-1980's. In 1985, William's grandson, Allen Petersen, consolidated the Petersen Mfg. Co. with several other holdings and established American Tool Companies, Inc., which merged with the Irwin Tool Co. in 1993. American was eventually bought by Rubbermaid in 2002, and officially was renamed Irwin in 2003. Hope this help ✌

this is the most frankenstein's monster handheld project I've ever seen, and I've watched some ancient videos where people casted their own shells to make a portable N64. The results I've seen from this channel so far have been absolutely bizarre, but I love the dedication put into making these projects fully functional. 😂
