do you know how desperate i have to be too reach out to my mom of all people

even my mom is too busy to check up on me today

i am literally alone

i'm still not ok though

i slipped in and out of consciousness in my bed over the past few hours

i still feel groggy and headache but i'll try getting up now

i feel trapped and desolate

starting to feel pretty pointless and superfluous

after everything i said on the contrary

brains are funny like that huh

bluh

i'm awake now but i wish i weren't

oh i wish i could've watched the animal crossing with everyone...

what's a good ps1 racing game

or just games in general

i guess they don't remove the original ntsc crystal in this console because the original is SMD

in older consoles (SNES, Master System f.ex) the crystal is through-hole, so they would remove the original NTSC one and put a PAL-M in its place, making it harder to revert those since then you need to source the original crystals again

so the way the ntsc ps1 was transcoded into pal-m was they tacked on a pal-m subcarrier crystal across the original ntsc one and wired one bit on the video encoder IC to ground to switch it over

you just remove the crystal and the patch wire and it goes back to ntsc, and displays correctly on american tvs (or, in this case, a PVM)

"how do you do all this cool stuff"

i

just use google

honest

picked up my computer back from the shop, they're clueless too, but say it's more likely the mobo is bad, heck

now i need to return that..

heck buddy you've seen some shit huh https://computerfairi.es/media/kz5jIk0N_eyHoafH3dM

oooohhhh heckie, apparently i can convert a pal-m ps1 back into ntsc just removing the pal-m crystal and redoing one trace

older consoles usually require a crystal replacement

sounds like i'll have some ps1 tonight

bingo bongo

(pal-m is the brazilian video standard and PVMs don't show it in colour)

i wonder if my ps1 is transcoded to pal-m but i'm lazy to dig out the cables for it

... actually i don't even know where the av-multi for it is
