VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
I'm coming back! And In this installment, I take a beaten and battered Dreamcast and transform it into a true article of beauty. I service the power supply, perform a never-before-seen battery modification, as well as install the illustrious DCHDMI to achieve truly digital, 1080p HDMI output.
Special thanks to all of my friends who took part in my comeback to KZbin!

Gunlord DOES in-fact have a 480P mode. But I only showcase 240P upscaled to 960P. I had Gun Bird 2 on my mind. :-D

[@PixelPhoenix]

Voultar never really left, Bob just took him hostage and he escaped.

[@pdahandyman]

Sounds like a plotline from a summer run of The Young & The Restless. Coolio.

[@im_an_alvani]

I was having a good day before this was posted. Now I'm having a GREAT day.

[@EposVox]

Voultar is back!

[@darknight7777777]

Best opening ever! All the bad modders are crapping themselves

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Yeah like douche in dance

[@mikematei]

Lolazer! ..is that still a thing? anyone? oh god

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

More like the worst.

[@emotionz3]

The closing is actually quite hilarious in its own right about HD retrovision!

[@VICTORYOVERNEPTUNE]

He is back and my solder joints have never been so wetted.

[@alexj0101]

Voultar is back, so strap on and let's do this

[@TheDemocrab]

Strap in or strap on?

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

@@TheDemocrab I always heard and use strap on

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Sit back, strap on, and let's do it, to the Sega Dreamcast... let's do it!

[@Voultar]

CHECK THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION! Links to the DC Case, DCHDMI, batteries, my soldering equipment, etc. will be found there!

[@claimhsolais3466]

Quite a few people are also looking for the names of the songs, could you please list them as well? Be well friend!

[@me0262]

I'm surprised you don't have some of the Kester 951 liquid flux in there, I found a couple bottles with real thin rod (giggity) applicators and it worked like a dream compared to my MG Chemicals flux pen. Fixed up my Xbox 128MB memory mod with that stuff.

[@MrSadface]

The only one I'm not seeing is the desolder tool :(.

[@me0262]

@@MrSadface He did a video on it, IIRC it's the Hakko 808 vacuum-based desoldering iron. Expensive though. I paid $15 for a pump-based desoldering iron that's grounded, works just as well.

[@MrSadface]

@@me0262 ah thanks!

[@Eight-Bytes]

You're my mod inspiration Voultar, those videos with soldering tips really helped me out to get started. While I can't even fathom to do what you do, I was able to replace my dead save batteries on my Gameboy cartridges, and more recently started modding my own GBA's with backlit screens. So thank you Voultar.

[@MojojoJenkins]

I was just thinking this morning, where is Lord Voultar?!

[@Yore0]

Welcome back man! Glad you're back.

[@BluesfireTV]

Great to see ya back, Voultar. Can't wait to see more of your mod work soon! Binging your videos is what inspired me to really start working on my soldering skills and while I still have a lot to learn I feel like I've improved dramatically since finding your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@Gennix125]

My wife: "Who keeps 'Ooooooo'-ing in a strangely provocative manner?" Me: "You just wouldn't understand, dear."

same here x))) sorry voultar but wifey said you are a weirdo :DDD

[@rey_1178]

Wife comes in and says what the hell am I watching :D

Finally my favourite asmr soldering yt'er is back, yess

[@GKuriboh]

Welcome back. You are the reason I am getting into retro console repairs.

[@willipic]

Lord Voultar, I'm glad you are back. I really enjoy your modding videos. I'm getting ready to start my first project and using the same soldering station you use based on your review. Can't wait for more vids.

[@knigfotlets9870]

Just an hour ago we drunkenly argued about the KZbin algorithm and that my feed currently consists of tech stuff, console modding and game critics. And here you are, thanks man.

[@MP3Mods]

Glad you're back! That clear case looks amazing.

[@solaris7404]

Absolutely amazing content, and great solder work! It's something I sure as hell couldn't do yet, but as a visual learner I could pick it up quickly. Thanks for the amazing content as always!

[@lecompanero1124]

Oh my Holy Lord, Voultar is back. Man, I always look at your videos and my knowledge 'bout soldering grows a lot. Thanks for comming back and show us this amazing skills.

[@RashPro]

That epic comback!, good to see you back!

[@ryanak]

I was consoling myself watching My Mechanics restore 100 year old coffee grinders ridiculously well, but feels good to strap on again. LOL

[@FizzoDizzo]

Sooo happy. Welcome back!!

[@TheCoolDave]

Great intro ! Welcome back ! Great video !

[@icenode]

Apart from the sweet, sensual soldering and ASMR tones, that was a wonderful journey through some fantastic Dreamcast game sound tracks. MSR, Headhunter, Shenmue... so gooooood.

[@ryantaylor4015]

literally following your sega saturn bios and fram mod when you posted this!!! sooooo happy youre back!!!!!

[@Scorpiove]

Welcome back. Your videos are really inspiring. Your 8bitdo video showing how easy it is to mod classic controls got me to do my own, and I really love your cleaning process.

[@jasonpistorio3651]

Welcome back! The dreamcast mod was next on my list and now I have the best to show me the way

[@TravisStamper]

Loved the video! Hope to see more soon Lord Voultar!!! lmao

[@moonstar188]

Welcome back and the dreamcast looks beautiful

[@domls1317]

Awesome vid Voultar. This was my first voultar video and it was awesome!!!!

[@Zoey_yea_boom]

You don't know how much you have missed a Voultar untill Voultar pops back into your inbox.

[@brycevanhorn7240]

Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.

[@ValskisGaming]

Welcome back Voltar! Good to hear from ya.

Excellent work, sir Voultar. Learned some cool things about the dreamcast today! You also reminded me to buy a fiberglass pen

[@itamarazulai6767]

Great Intro!!! Glad you're back.

[@craigb2343]

Great video as always. The modded PSOne I bought from you back in 2014 is still going strong. Keep up the great work.

[@Voultar]

Hey Craig! Been a super long time brotha!

[@un1qu3-senpai]

all this talk of coming back is making me crave a mcrib and some new flux too

[@cereal510]

This is my fav system of all time. I have most of these mods planned out for my own dc already. Nice to see the whole thing done top to bottom.

[@dreaminginretro6922]

We needed this Lord. Thank you!

[@thebeerdedone7568]

I love the mix of rock and Japanese video game soundtrack selections for the video. Sick video, I'll have to return to this when I am ready to service and mod my Dreamcast.

[@danielson9579]

Keeping the system cooler will help stop the caps drying out 🙂

[@MrDrop442]

So glad you are making videos again love your content.

That intro was a chefs kiss woo voultar is back!

[@Nintendo85]

I tell ya, it's your videos that made me finally buy a soldering iron, some IPA, and all my other tools and give console modding a go. Thanks to you, the DCDIGITAL was the second mod I ever attempted, and I've never used the Peter North Special Sauce.

[@powerslideita]

Finally! Welcome back!

glad the funniest modder is back. Subbed 👍

Welcome back, dawg. YT wasn't the same without you, missed that sweet, sweet soldering.

[@jrp1531]

New to your channel and glad I found you!! Live your videos bro!! OHHHH YAAA

[@Cimone90]

Hey dude, thanks for these videos really. I've always enjoyed soldering but never had the confidence to do fine pitch stuff like this. I mainly just did through hole recaps. I've since gotten a proper soldering station and taken on a DC digital, xbox hdmi, and lots of other projects all thanks to the tips from your videos. Been a lot of fun. Ps: wish I could buy your stuff in Canada. Hahaha. Thanks man, really.

[@Petey-cr5ql]

Oooh, nice battery mod - I really like that. REALLY like that.

[@gweising]

we love you Voultar!

[@Elradon]

I love your channel and as a fact I love you too brother. Your work has made me practice my soldering skills oh so much. Thank you for all of your incredible work. And thanks to you I’m taking courses in electrical engineering. So I can attempt to be as good as you are. Again thank you for coming back. You are my favorite to watch and to learn from. Your guidance has done much more than I’m sure you have expected. Now it’s time to practice some more soldering so I can achieve your level of greatness. Thanks again.

Welcome back Lord Voultar

[@scopedpixels]

Awesome work!

Nice to have my favorite modder and electronic repair guy back

Woah the king is back

[@KrazzyKlown]

Lord Voultar is back! I am strapped on and my body is ready. Lets do this.

[@samuelhepburn2636]

Just subscribed,you're a cool dude,love your enthusiasm, bless.

[@shiftingchords]

I have 20ish years of soldering experience and I just wanna say really nice work on that diode bodge!

[@BuddhaPhi]

Love the Dreamcast mod! Also, that KSGER solder station is the bomb! I bought one last year off of an earlier Voultar link on Bangood and it's been rock solid every day. And so fast to heat up. Takes around 15 seconds max from cold to ready to rock and roll. Cheap tips work great too.

[@TVsBen]

"...from 39 years ago..." I'm dying :lol:

[@Voultar]

So is Nick. That's life...

[@nebular-nerd]

Voultar's Back!!!! Happy days are here again. 🤓

i have a Processing Disability and this guys video is so easy to fallow. thank you so much for vids like these.

[@Voultar]

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment.

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

Yesssss Lord voultar is back. Strap on

[@oscarcsar]

That transparent case looks awesome. I still have two Dreamcast consoles, white and Sega sports black one. Both have boxes and all their stuff.

[@vonkerman8168]

Welcome back!

[@Slamgod]

Great way to make a comeback, my friend. Fantastic work, as always! You’ll have to do a episode on how you McGuyvered your way out of Bob’s basement.

[@Wesleyrpg]

That Dreamcast is almost as dirty and your 'lonely time' pet sock that lives under your bed! Welcome back, you were missed!

[@Penfold8]

Great!............ Now I am going to have to spend half an hour cleaning up the love juices from my dreamcast after it heard Voultar is back!
