Installing an xStation in 2023

[@kurtshastany1945]

Your voice is soothing, like a pleasant drunk that's sad he got drunk, but isn't drunk at all. You have bed time story cadence, or powerful lesson inflection

[@ComAntilles]

I’m so happy I found this channel. I can relate now that my original collection is aging I find myself replacing or modifying more consoles from my childhood. Started by replacing the pins in my old NES. Just had to replace the disc drive in my Wii.

[@BeyondTigerMilk]

"I got an ordinary dental pick" Is this something I'm supposed to have around the house?

[@RedCowArcade]

You can get one for a few dollars on Amazon. Weirdly I actually found that dental pick in the street and I kept it because I’m a dirty raccoon boy. True story.

[@JayrosModShop]

Absolutely, yes... But they're usually plastic floss picks. I use them to safely clean the lint from my phone's charging port without frying anything inside.

[@ModzvilleUSA]

I watched all your bimmy vides a while back and this popped in my feed today lol. Very solid video! You botched a few pads there which is pretty common for the first one. If you do another one, use lots of tacky flux, conical tip and tin the pad not the leg. just keep the tip on the pad at the base of the leg and pry with your exacto knife or dental tool. That's what works for me. fine tip + heat the pad is the secret sauce for the leg lifting. it's what works for me at least :D

[@Big_Kona]

This guys knows his stuff. Love the videos man. I found your channel when I was learning about HDDs in PS2s and FMCB. I watch your vids whenever they pop up in my feed 🤙

[@ModzvilleUSA]

@@Big_Kona much appreciated brotha!

[@phoenragon]

0:43 came for the install, stayed for the puns 😂

[@marciomladenoff7912]

The "legitimate games I own" was wonderful

[@GeorgeArthurJr]

I’ve got multiple PS1s but never did this mod so I picked up the board and plan on installing in a few days. For some reason I’ve always skipped doing anything for the PS1 and this will go great with my Dreamcast and it’s GDEMU. Also, this was one of my favorite tutorial videos to check out. Awesome content. Subscribed.

[@MeitsMSX]

Thanks for the few pointers I needed. I just bought a set, but it came without instructions. Just the reader, an FFC cable and two QSBs. It was very doable.

[@OperantSound]

Great vid! Why do you need a scart cable if it played on the crt without it?

[@Keef4Teef]

Another (probably easier) way to remove stickers that I realized just within the last couple years is to use a hair dryer or heat gun; it should peel off pretty easily with little to no residue, but Goo Gone will take care of that either way.

[@prometheuspeanut3935]

Keep these retro game type videos coming! Love Red Cow Entertainment!

[@lesterrr12312]

man, this is so inspiring to watch!! kinda makes me want to install those Sega Genesis mods that enhance the sound output and change the region..

[@harrisonpugh6244]

Love the channel

[@opaljk4835]

I have a ps1 mini and 3 ps2’s laying around, but now with the costs of games going through the roof this seems like a better option

[@DamfinoMR2]

Yes and it's a good thing we already own allllll these games that are now so expensive so that we can make legitimate backups of them all to conveniently and reliably play them on our original hardware!!!

[@opaljk4835]

@@DamfinoMR2 Amen. How can I in good conscience handle my many copies of LSD Dream Emulator??? I must grade them all

[@KenBarberGeek]

I need a similar thing for my c64. My tape collection is fun but so slow. Thanks for the vid.

[@JayrosModShop]

I think they have C64 cartridges that do something similar now, like an Everdrive for the C64 or whatever.

"I shook it and a thousand spiders crawled out all over my table and body."

[@RedCowArcade]

My body and my house belong to the spider queen now.

[@rcLdrcH]

I have this same crime killer cover sticker that was included in a PSM magazine issue, I put a thrill kill one on a spare PS1 I have. I was also lucky enough to get a ps1 for 15$ years ago and it was also modded so it reads all games and backups.

[@MrZenhookah]

Wait was this video re-uploaded? I could have sworn I watched this already yesterday

[@RedCowArcade]

Yeah it’s a clip of the xstation video on the other red cow channel.

[@Tdiggitytv]

I could watch EJ solder blobs all day.

[@MackMillz86]

"Bang for my buck"was the best pun joke ever

[@mikecoolgreen]

@ 9:32 bimmy rolfe would say how megaman x4 is innovated for having multiple camera angles and ask if it plays like megaman 2

[@UltraCon79]

What format do you install the games, and what format for multi disc

[@capoeirask8]

Is loading times faster than loading a disk?

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

Interesting developments in the world of the slobs...two of them (Tony and Keiran) are both gone, and Newt has been opening up more about how they operated on a personal level on his recent live streams the last couple of weeks

[@emerickscott]

I don't understand adding a power brick..... was your PSU having problems? I wouldn't make my system more bulky. If it was a cleanpower micro-USB plug I might do that.

[@BMR86]

9:49 9:54 BRO! I laughed so hard at this ! that was great! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ramirorodriguez1778]

Hey big guy. I am farely new at this. I got it running and everything. Need the games. Where do i find them? Thanks.

[@Spain-libertaria]

Amigo os daré un consejo para despegar vinilos Ect sin raspar, usar wd40 dejarlo unos minutos y sale solo.

[@koso4292]

are you reading your intro lmao

[@RedCowArcade]

I read the whole thing. It’s scripted.

[@joe713se]

The ending 😆

[@lucerodj11]

pardon, i skip the intro because it was too long and i only need the tutorial on xStation installation. But why did you change the power supply into Pico?

[@conyo985]

That ending though! I can't stop laughing.

[@decimat777]

I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a guru per se but I’ve modded 10+ consoles with similar solder boards/ribbons and after watching videos on the x station I am considering what the freaking point was from the developer vs using the time to just figure out the OD port and make an ODE compatible with literally every model…?

[@EastCoastRageAllDay]

Serious question…what’s the difference between this and if you were to emulate it on a device and av out to a crt tv

[@RedCowArcade]

I'll actually be doing a video about that very topic soon! But the modded original hardware does feel more authentic and has less lag. The emulation is pretty good though, so I'll cover that soon.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Why do this if you’re not going to use a crt tv? If your just going to hook it up to a modern tv why not just use your PC to emulate?

[@RedCowArcade]

@@turnbasedtoddy7664 I use it on a crt. I just tested it on the nearest tv

[@DontPaniku]

Wow this mod is way easier than the PSIO mod.

[@SPQR101010]

impressive

[@LlamaRoyal]

It's kinda expensive NGL you can find a cheaper classic psx mini hack it with autobleem which is actually much easier and faster and no hard modding needed and you can still install ALL PS1 games and other emulators. TBH if you have the money and you into this is still fine.

[@Sephiroth.Crescent]

Can I just send it to you so I dont break my ps1?😢

[@theyobby]

excuse me, a Zacto knife?? never change, my man

[@rentoptional1524]

A Zacto knife is useful for fixing a Super Intendo as well.

[@smarterray]

I remembered to hit "Like" after "bang for buck."

[@BasicTechGirl]

This seems like a fun project but the price is a little to much for me. I can see spending maybe $50-$60 but over $100 after tax and shipping. Nah I'm good.

[@Delta-nl7pi]

Yeah.. im never gonna be able to pull this off.

[@pow9606]

Be easier to remove the chip, lift the relevant pins and solder it back.

[@dogeymon83]

People want it covered because it can help keep out dust

[@metal4ever504]

when the spindle is in that state it will scratch your games cant believe u put mega man in it

[@PrickSlickfield]

Also EJ I couldn't help but notice your fingernails are getting a bit long. Might want to look into getting those trimmed for optimal performance. Thanks.

[@Kman21192]

This isn't directed at you and I totally get this process is for a different intended experience overall, but can I just say in general how complicated this seems to me compared to building a PC from parts? I don't understand how console enthusiasts can be totally fine with board level modifications and soldering as part of their hobby but seemingly completely baffled by throwing together a couple pieces of hardware spec'd to fit with some screws. Am I crazy?

[@RedCowArcade]

I could totally get into pc building! I definitely live vicariously through ETA prime and his builds. It’s cheaper that way hahaha

[@Kman21192]

@@RedCowArcade and I guess I live vicariously through you and the others who are able to take the time to do the board level mod stuff!
