Anthony from LTT has transitioned and is now Emily!
Emily's retro content has been some of my favorite content from LTT, and they have my full support!
I don’t want to make YouTube videos anymore.
This was a very difficult decision for me, but I spend too much time making/ thinking about making videos, and it’s negatively affecting my relationship with my family and my mental health.

Wow, 8BitDo bangers continue:
Bluetooth adapter for PS1/ PS2, compatible with PS4/PS5 controllers, Xbox controllers, Switch controllers.
Not a preorder, available for sale now. Use my affiliate link to support the channel!
I wanted my YouTube channel to be successful, but it never really took off. And I don’t believe throwing more time at it will be beneficial.
I do still love retro modding, so I am considering live-streaming a few times a week.
I hope you have enjoyed my videos!

Well, I’m admitting defeat. I’ve tried installing GEM in a PS2 slim (GH-036) with two different flex cables now, and both times I had similar failures. The controller data pad either lifted off the flex or the trace severed, and I had to hand-solder a wire to fix it 1/3
LaserBear's GameCube BlueRetro adapter is an easy way to use Bluetooth controllers with your GameCube. Installation is simple, with no soldering involved!

Comparison of the 8BitDo NeoGeo controller to the mini controller. Dimensions identical. 8BitDo has shoulder buttons and weird colored face buttons (more authentic to the CD controller). Mechanical switches feel different than Magic Trashman mod, feels more like mouse buttons
Had to put down our oldest cat today. Her name was Anna and she was 19 years old.
She sat on my desk with me every day since I started working from home. Going to miss her
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I will be taking an indefinite break from producing Retro Modding News videos.
There are a lot of reasons for this change, but the biggest is the giant stack of mods in my backlog.
I will continue posting modding tutorials and reviews.
Thanks for understanding!
Tonight at 9 PM EST...
Let's start installing the AVE-HDMI into my childhood Wii console!
NGL, I dread installing this mod because this Wii has been disassembled for over a year, so who knows if I have all the parts!
