    PS2 500001 Shiny Edition

    Always happy with the RetroGem. StoneAge Gamer shipped the next business day from Ohio, I received the shipment in 7 days. Installation for this is really a test of skill/patience. The solder points are extremely small but with a microscope and fine soldering tip I was able to achieve great success. A fun project, and a great way to get that CRT vibe from older consoles.

    Best quality video you can get on N64

    Posted by don on Aug 19th 2024

    While this isn`t a mod everyone can do easily with the very fine solder pitch, you are hard pressed to find a better signal and image quality out of your console than this mod. For consoles with no native RGB and built in blur like N64, this is a must have.
