My question is, is this something I should consider getting? New systems are bloody expensive and I've only seen modded ones on eBay, no new ones, Gamestop is my best bet to get one cheap along with a memory card. That being said, I've seen Vita consoles sold for 120-150 refurbished, and most likely on the latest firmware.
I do have a modded 3DS, but I haven't used it in months, the battery no longer holds a charge and replacing a 2DS XL battery is a royal PITA as it's not user friendly. In my opinion, this should serve as a nice little addition to owners of the PS1Digital + X-Station + MemCard Pro combo.So, I never owned a Vita, I never had much interest in it during its life cycle, but after seeing Modern Vintage Gamer's recent video about modding it, and Tech Savvy Buyer's video on how to mod it (even downgrading it), I'm seeing it for a pretty decent homebrew/emulation machine. The in-game reset board is now available for purchase through Will’s Console Modifications shop and is priced at ~$18. The board retains its main features on stock systems running disc-based games as well.
Instead of completely resetting the system via the physical reset button, the user gets to reset and access the ODE’s menu (in a similar fashion to Krikzz and Terraonion products) through the following button combinations: The in-game reset board especially comes in handy when used in conjunction with PS1 Optical Drive Emulators (ODE) like the X-Station or PSIO. (Note that the placement of reset point differs from one board revision to another). Just one conductor wire is still required to be soldered directly to the reset point on the console’s motherboard. But unlike the original design, which involves soldering a bunch of wires to the PS1’s motherboard, Will’s simple pcb lays right on top of the controller port pins and gets soldered into place. Will Gentry from Will’s Console Modifications is now selling a board that adds in-game reset functionality to the original Playstation.īased on the open-source project started by pyroespin 2019, Will’s board provides the ability to reset the system itself or the launched game through different button combinations.
