Vince's Repair Thread - (Console Repairs & Mods)

The SMS 2 mod looks great! It's definitely on my must own again list :)

In regards to the switcheless mod, can you override the mods region autodetection? reason I ask is some games have different title screens/names depending on the region detected.
On my region + 50/60hz modded Megadrive for example if I had it set to JP + 60hz and inserted a european copy of Kung Fu Kid it would show the Japanese title instead.

Bloody good question and I think there are several versions of the mod board to do different things. These mod boards for this one were customer provided so honestly I dont really know much about them.

I shall dig and let you know!

Region and Refresh changes can cause some interesting results. I know that some games actually switch features off when run at 60hz as opposed to 50hz, Robocod for example turns off parallax scrolling when at 60hz :)

Vince, any tips on doing a complete joycon shell swap?

Just to plus 1 this, yep take your time, remember you can always get pics etc of layout if you get interrupted midway.
I have only ever done 1 shell swap due to the original being bent and it was straightforward.

If your new shell is a different colour to the original, remember you can get software that changes the colour the switch sees it.
Say the original is grey, but your new shell is bright pink, the switch when paired will show grey on the screen, but this can be changed.

I have a working 32x :) - I recapped it, only 18 caps. Still waiting on region mods to turn up but its working sweet! Also works with my flash cart!

Recorded it for youtube and also tested it on the full tower of power :D
