The goalies stayed out of it? Missed opportunity. Here's the last goalie fight I saw in person:

At that scale, I figure @arcadeshopper would be restocked for a while if he grabbed that lot. I'm certain I had one of those Astec modulators at some point.

The soft-mod guide for 2DS/3DS is https://3ds.hacks.guide. Just like Wavemotion mentioned, you'll need Twilight Menu++ once the soft-mod is complete. I know you asked for a video. Watch a recent one to get familiar with the process, but I recommend following the written guides when you actually try to do the mod. There are a lot of steps.

Looking back, I bought one new-in-box in 2015 for $150.

Last time I checked, account creation was either disabled or the link was hiding.

For Force Command users, the XBADDR value for use with the XB command is 32357.

I gave a presentation last year to our R&D team covering the Qakbot attack chain because a major customer got hit. My point was to educate them on how easily our products got caught up in the ransomware stage, and that even though one of our products wasn't victim zero, how easily it could have been. After the meeting, a lot of people really enjoyed the presentation, but one guy was absolutely terrified to touch his computer again. This was a principal electrical engineer with 30+ years of experience, but I apparently scared the bejeezus out of him.

I'd love to find this one in print to see if a better scan of the schematics with waveforms could be made. They are awfully hard to make out. Alternately, making a new version with modern scopes that have image export would be a valuable community resource. There's someone selling off a store's collection of ComputerFacts books on eBay, but they've sold out of the TI book.

My guess is A-MAZE-ING.

There was some progress in that direction a couple of years ago.

I got one of those from Amazon. It feels very cheap, but it gets the job done. The times on the dial are 10's of minutes.

Looks like the chip just decided it was time to die. I got two more in the mail today, and they both worked fine. (And an empty tube that should have contained 2 more. They are surely on the floor under a warehouse packing table now...)

Having a little trouble here with my T48. I decided to finally upgrade the DSR ROMs of my 2 TIPIs. One went fine. The other one, an AM27C256, just won't cooperate. It keeps returning "Device ID: FF FF" and it won't get through more than 25% of the programming cycle. Reads look clean after erasing under UV for 30 minutes. I'm guessing the chip is toast, but I wondered if there's any other troubleshooting I can try.

I thankfully haven't experienced it, but my understanding is that there's also a foul smell that hangs around for an extended time.
