EverDrive 64

My EverDrive64 had been dispatched from Retrogate and is on the way!

The EverDrive64 is a new flash cartridge for the Nintendo 64 console by Krikzz. Really looking forward to this. I’ll update when it arrives.

N64 RGB Modding

I’ve been getting back into the N64 lately in perpetration for the Everdrive64, and had a go at the most important mod you can do on the system. RGB picture enhancement. The catch of-course is that you can only do this on some NTSC model’s.

Lucky for my I had one laying around then!

Scud Race restoration continues..

I think I have just as much fun working on arcade machines as I do playing them. I also think I’ve been luck with this machine in that so far I have found nothing that I cant either replace or improve. Now that the cab is fully working I have moved to smartening it up.

New T-Moulding fitted

New T-Moulding

The new t-moulding was from eBay, it was a bit of a pain to fit as the groove was routed at least 2mm wider than the new plastic was intended for. Plenty of hot glue fixed that though.

Vinyl Replacement

The top sections of the side art were very scratched and pitted. The solid red was easy to replace with a new sheet from vinyldepot on eBay.
