31:42 The criticism on the flex is ligitim. Maybe some background: is was designed maybe two years after the first release of the N64Adv, which is designed - and it is still so - to get it installed with a bunch of loose wires if someone wants to go without flex cables in a DIY project. So I went for the solder solution instead of the ffc connector to be compatible with older PCBs out there. But I guess it's time to change the design a bit and go for simple connectors. 🙂

This might sound strange but I just like to listen to the sound of this man's voice 😅

Great video as always! You get to learn and relax at the same time, you can't beat that. I think it would be great if you made a quick shop tour video going over some of the tools you have. Your soldering station video was a huge help, I can only imagine what other insights you might have for those of us trying to build up or upgrade our tool selection. Keep up the good work!

These kinds of videos are not only useful for those that want to mod game consoles, but they are also nuggets of information for basics in SMD soldering technique. Well done Voultar, an extra ration of rum for you lol

You make it look so easy. Very nice work, professional mod and relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work!

Looks great dude, always looking forward to a new video! Also thank you for showing the jewel 🙌🙌🙌

Great! Amazing work as always Lord Voultar keep em' comming.

Thank you for taking your time in your videos to explain soldering techniques. I have been a beginner with soldering for a very long time and these tips help a ton!

Man I love this guy's videos and enthusiasm

Great to see you back! It's been too long! Any chance at any og xbox video in the pipeline would be cool? Also maybe a series of all the mods you would do for classic core consoles (nes, genesis, snes, all models) to work with the tink5x!?

this 'new' calm and teaching style is much more professional. great progress on your channel! keep the content coming! but sometimes, just sometimes, I miss the cruel old rants :)

legend has it voltar hasn't taken off those glasses for 30 years because of.... the soldering iron incident

always a pleasure to see you work. When i saw the intel logo i was expecting another $200+ product

I wanted to see a video about your sega bypass board install. Is one of your products you havent covered in a video . Great video!

Let’s go! Thanks for making more great instructional content.

The man, the myth, THE FUKKIN LEGEND! Glad to see your still taking names & kicking ass man. All the best! XD

Great work as always Lord Voultar. Something very satisfying watching that clean soldiering technique completed to perfection. Love me some rocker gaming custome jewelry too looks magnificent👍👍👍

As usual, great explanation and teaching great soldering skill, with professional narration.

For real though good stuff as always Mr. Tar. Soldering really, REALLY benefits from patience and calm, and you always convey that very well in your videos. I continue to use you for all of my male anatomy *AHEM* I mean soldering technique references, even outside the realm of video game consoles.

Great mod work! if I was going ahead to make a riser on a 3d printer, I would just make it a full length bracket to provide support across the pcb and create a bumper so it never touches on the opposite screw side.

Miss the vids. Thank you for helping to educate the community. ^_^

Great video though I do have a minor suggestion if possible for future videos you could mention the temperatures to use for your irons especially when soldering the flex cables. I know from my experience doing the DC Digital mod and ruined the ribbon on my first try but from your suggestion on Twitter using a lower temperature helped me complete it successfully.

Just did one of these a couple weeks ago. I found it to be one of the easier mods I've installed. Didn't have the issue with the spacers although I do think the kits solution is a bit janky and agree that it should be revised. By the way, great video. You should upload more often.

me encanta el sonido del estaño fundiendose, solo Voultar es capaz de hacer ASMR de esto. Great job.

I heard about you threw a bunch of my friends that I know that do mods, just subbed. My boy is literally promoting a competitor's product I respect that, modders recognize other modders achievements.

Holy shit dude I was actually able to install this in my n64! Thanks for the video

I'm with you Voultar, not a fan of the N64 either, but I still like watching these mod videos, great work!

Great video dude. Would love to see you do the xboxhd+ mod. Keep em comin! 🤘😎

Voultar, that cut is fresh af.

Thanks for this video Voultar! I really need to buy more iron tips. I've always just used a conical.

I watch this instead of porn while my wife went to sleep early. I do love a good soldering job. Btw, I do love the "minimalistic" ring you have. Is it a wedding ring or just stylish?

Voultar you are awesome thankyou for sharing your skills 😀 From the land of Oz so got a NTSC N64 from Japan on its way to do the cheaper mod. ❤️ watching you shoulder a master class. thankyou for sharing your skills.

This man gives me peace everytime he's soldering so perfectly

Nice Snake impression!

Master Voultar... You won my like just because i didn't knew that n64 consoles were so easily opened. Nice trick.

Your videos are very well made

Lord Voultar has returned! We all needed some sexual healing! Oooooh!

Extremely descriptive, I love it!

That's one to-the-point title for the video. Cheers, Voultar!

Great work as usual

Lord Voultar the veteran always makes everything look so easy :-)

love this guy! the Mr Rogers of console mods

I'm not a fan of the 64 either but I will watch you Mod one...Good to see you again Lord Voltar...

Like that dual KSGER station setup!

Tava sentindo falta de vídeo salve

Have you tried installing Doujindance’s PC Engine Duo RGB kit? Love to see you give it a go 👍

Holy shit! Youre Voultar. Ive heard of your greatness

Well, at least I can purchase this if I decide to, unlike other mod videos. I mean, why even show something that no one can even purchase?!!!!!! asinine Voultar, you're killing it, love your work!!

I think this is your best video so far

Lord Voultar, the Bob Ross of soldering

I'm not a huge fan of the N64 myself but I kinda wish I had an excuse to do these kinda mods though I'd want to get the proper tools first as I dont think I'll get very far with my dumb ol 40 watt iron without flux, braid or decent proper solder (Basically got the Iron and soldier back in 2008 from Canadian tire to muck about with stuff). Great video by the way, this was informative and interesting :)

He's alive!!

The component video solution via the printed dongle is enough for me to get this. Was looking at eTim’s kit and was going to use HDR SNES cables, but that looks like it’s more expensive than this solution

Great stuff as usual. What's on dodgy VHS tape stashed under the desk?

Your a good teacher voultar, keep it up

Think I might get one of these to replace my N64RGB, those flex cables make the install so tidy.

Oh wow! You posted something!

Nice video, please make one modding those cheap scart to hdmi converters

Man, steady hands there brother.

Thank you for the usual nice and detailed video! I am looking for a solution like this one for my N64, that is a bit strange. I bought at launch in Japan, one of the really first batch, and for years I used in in RGB by simply connecting the three vias to the proper pin on the output. The image was perfect: proper brightness, no problem whatsoever. Then I read on RetroRGB that using this method, without any RGB amplifier, could cause damage to console. So I tried with three different RGB amplifier but then the image was waaaaay too bright. Is it possible that the really first JP N64 are somewhat different from the later ones? Maybe a solution like this one, that taps directly at the source and not at video encoder, is the way to go for me (no HDMI, since I play on CRT Projector, so analog RGB is perfect).

When securing a wire with a screw you should have the loop in a clockwise orientation so the screw will pull it tighter

I made an n64 rgb amp for my NS1 model with like 4$ worth of parts 3 days ago using a THS7316

22:15 bro solid snake 💀💀💀☠☠☠

What temp was your iron? Sorry if i missed it if it was in the video

2:43 Just curious but which inline torque screwdriver are you using there?

What general purpose solder would you recommend? New to this, more of a learning hobby but so many brands and so many types. I know of the good brands but even than they will offer 30+ types which to me inexperienced all look exactly the same. Just hoping to find something which can make the learning experience a little more pleasant is all. Thank you for your time!

Great video, I have a question. On a N64 FRA, is it best to go "official" RGB mod (soldering missing pieces) or this kind of mod ?

This looks very nice 😎

Great flex cables better than the Tim's mod I did a couple years ago now!

I don't know if you do mods for sega genesis, but if you do, would be nice to have your opinion on the sega genesis triple bypass. That mod for me is a very complex one so would be nice if you could give some hints about it.

"I'm a strap-on fanatic".

Is it just me, or does the intro give him the vibe of a pro wrestler? With the sunglasses and his posture, I feel like he was about to drop a promo saying he was gonna kick some ass.

Man, it looks great! And it's not as expensive as the HDMI mod kits. Question, though: Is this the best option for those who have a newer N64 and have an external video processor? I have a Funtastic N64 and an OSSC, and I'd like to have an option that is not as expensive as the HDMI kits. It looks like the N64 Advanced might be the option I'm looking for (in terms of price and features), but since I already have an OSSC, I don't necessarily need the Line Multiplier option it has. Anyways, great job with this video, and thank you for all the invaluable information!

Love the work you do, dude. Its kinda cringe that you have that desktop drill thing, but no real screwdriver, but we've all been in similar circumstances, I guess.

How does the UltraHDMI detect controller input for it's OSM without the additional two wires? Or am I not understanding their purpose?

Awesome mod dude! I’m more of a PlayStation fan, are you able to to a PS1 mod? That’ll be sweet to watch 😎👍✨

I brought an n64 with the rgb advanced borti as I just couldn’t face the job of doing. Looks great though.

Forgive my noobness. Can i install the chip without the ribbon cable? Can i individually solder wires to their respectful pins from the chip to the board?

With the N64 modded as per this video or with your traditional rgb mod, is there any benefit using the HD Retrovision Wii cables vs the HD Retrovision snes cables? I currently use your traditional N64 rgb mod with the snes cables hooked up to a crt. Why use the Wii cables with that adapter when the snes cables plug right in?

Maybe the mods wouldnt be so hard if you took the shades off! (jk, great video as always!)

Where can I get the music remixes featured here? They are great!

Are any of these kits in stock anywhere? 😐 Always sold out by time i discover them! Anyway good guide thx!

I've seen other modders using various Electronic Precision Screwdrivers. Which one do you recommend for someone on a budget? Haven't been able to find much info from actual professionals on this subject. Google only gives me those random generic 10 Best lists that are mostly just advertisement.

Wow ! This flex cable seems to have little silver ingots at the end! :D

Very interesting kit, I was actually considering installing this in my NTSC N64 but for some reason cheaped out on it. In terms of the PAL N64 I'm pretty sure you can also route CSync to pin 3 there, in my PAL system(CPU(P)-01) there was no +12v there but not sure if this applies to every board revision but in that case you'd be able to use an NTSC cable.

This is pure joy, just watching master of his craft. Despite I don't love N64 either.

My N64RGB was finally supposed to arrive today, but because USPS is USPS, it's now supposed to arrive tomorrow. So close!

This man is so wholesome that's the vibe I get.

I bought a NS1 n64 from eBay and it doesn’t have any of the points for the RGB mod. It doesn’t even have the spots labeled for it. What can I do?

hmm i hope in the future they will use a switch system to allow easier configs on the jumps

Excellent job! Excellent mod design! However for me while I can see some improvement this is a lotta work and expense for what I see is very minimal gain. Seems like this would be for very hard core N64 fans!

I have an OG Wii component cable, bought way back when, would I be able to use it with this mod?

I’m gonna start this by saying I have a great relationship with my dad, that being said… every time he says great job or says you’re doing great it triggers that same emotion as my dad saying the same thing. Great man

How long can you heat up the gpu legs before it fries the chip? How much heat should I use on my soldering iron?

the king has returned

To update firmware with jtag the j3 has to be bridged i believe but there are 3 contacts. Do i bridge all 3?

Definitely the Bob Ross of hardware Mods😁

What temperature do you set your iron for this type of job?

Question how are you cleaning the tip are you just using a wet sponge?
