Title: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: ApolloBoy on February 14, 2012, 12:25:17 AM I can perform mods and repairs for certain systems! Here's what I can currently do, in addition to a few more that aren't listed. Prices do not include return shipping. Mods/repairs marked with an asterisk are ones that I have to order special parts for, so turnaround time may take longer than usual.

Of course, I'm always open to trades so if you've got something I want and you want a mod performed, let's work something out! Shipping Info Return shipping cost will be through USPS Parcel Post with Delivery Confirmation. If you desire USPS Priority Mail, UPS or FedEx, let me know and I will calculate shipping for you based on your ZIP code (or country) and weight. Please make sure your system or systems are well-packed to avoid shipping damage. Turnaround time is around 1-4 weeks, depending on my personal schedule. Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: ApolloBoy on February 14, 2012, 12:25:58 AM Here's an SMS I modded for a customer on Racketboy...

Post by: Duke.Togo on February 14, 2012, 12:35:42 AM Tease! Showing the FM mod and you're not offering it anymore?
Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on February 14, 2012, 12:37:35 AM He just said it's not available right now. I'm guessing it's likely due to lack of parts.
Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: Duke.Togo on February 14, 2012, 12:46:34 AM Well I am thoroughly impressed. It makes the SMS sound great.

Yep, the person who makes them (viletim on SMS Power) ran out and I actually wound up buying his last one just for that SMS. He'll have more come next month, at least that's what he told me.Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: douglie007 on February 14, 2012, 07:13:24 AM so my question got deleted, do you know if you mod the region on the X'eye would that fix the issue where it sees the cd as a game but it will only play it as a music cd ive got 2 that does this, they will play all music and cd+g games. Also where is the fuse in the Sega CD systems?
Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: douglie007 on February 14, 2012, 12:55:57 PM so that master system mod, whats the difference then just using the A/V port.
Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: ApolloBoy on February 14, 2012, 01:20:59 PM so my question got deleted, do you know if you mod the region on the X'eye would that fix the issue where it sees the cd as a game but it will only play it as a music cd ive got 2 that does this, they will play all music and cd+g games. Also where is the fuse in the Sega CD systems? The region switch I do for the X'Eye only affects the cart portion, not CD games. Even so, a region mod wouldn't fix your problem; it sounds more like a misadjusted laser to me. The fuse is located at F301 on the motherboard of both Sega CD models, it looks like a resistor standing on end. As for the SMS, S-video is like night and day compared to composite, since the SMS has lousy composite video to begin with. Details are more defined and colors don't bleed together like they do in composite. Same goes for the model 1 Genesis and especially the Neo Geo AES, which usually use the same video encoder chip.Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: douglie007 on February 14, 2012, 02:02:11 PM nice I already region modded my Neo Geo now maybe some S-video :) thanks I will look at my Sega CDs again I was looking for a glass tube fuse.

Post by: Seasian on November 25, 2012, 06:01:54 PM I saw that you dont work on xbox systems but do you do any controller repairs for the original xbox?
Title: Re: ApolloBoy's Mod and Repair Shack! Post by: NES_Rules on December 16, 2012, 04:17:12 PM I have some minor DS Lite work I'd like done, but noticed you don't work on them, just wanted to make sure that's still the case. All I need done is the case replaced and a new screen ribbon cable replaced. The system is already mostly dismantled and I have the cable, it really just needs put back together. I just don't want to ruin another ribbon cable doing it myself.
