SNES Edge-Enhancers for all console revisions are restocked at voultar.com and available right now! Please spread the word, and thank you so much for the support. Service installs are going out with these too. I’m still updating tracking numbers. Thank you!

Friends, I'm finishing up the very last few Edge-Enhancer installs and reaching out to customers. Thank you so much for your patience while I got healthy again! DIY SNES Edge-Enhancer kits will be put back online, March 20th! This is THE solution for SNES analog video!

I’m genuinely honored by the response to this feature. It means a lot to see so many people enjoying it. This page is just a small introduction and excerpt from the full article, which will be available soon, including nudes. Thank you, @retrotink.com for only charging $10 to write this editorial.

I am incredibly honored to be featured in the upcoming cover of Hotwire Magazine "The Magazine for Sexy Engineers and STEM Professionals." It's humbling to have my work in retro hardware recognized and to be included among so many talented people.

I want to be emotional with you, in a platonic way. I'm doing great! I'm almost caught up with the back-log installs!

I'm in the office! Finishing off the backlog of work so we can move forward! Thank you so much for everyone bring so patient.

My youngest sister, Dayna, died from an overdose on Christmas Eve. She was found alone in a tent on the frozen streets of Camden, NJ. We didn’t find out for weeks. She fought hard for years, and we never stopped loving her. I’m sharing this to support a local addiction charity.

After months of rehabilitation and hard work, I am back in the office, stronger and healthier than I have been in years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my patient customers for waiting so long! This photo is from a shoot saying no to type 2 diabetes, something RetroRGB strongly opposes.

Today, I've been looking at fantastically designed modern PSU for the Original Xbox designed by Team Resurgent! Type C, PD compliant! I'll have more details soon!

My barber Jerry is such a fantastic guy. It's time for my comeback! Looking forward to tomorrow and saying goodbye to yesterday, leaving the past where it belongs.

Friends, my host is having trouble with the bandwidth. If you get an error. Just wait a few minutes and try again. I promise, it'll come back up!

The DIY Edge-Enhancer is now available! Grab it @ voultar.com

Two years and five months ago, @voultar.com told me this would be done "next month". Better late than never, I guess? All kidding aside, the DIY 2-CHIP SNES bypass is finally here! Links and details in the post: www.retrorgb.com/voultars-sne...

Thank you, friend! And thanks to all of you who reach out with just a positive word or well wishes. It makes all the difference and I really appreciate your kindness.

@voultar.com was thinking about you today. Hope your recovery is going well!

During your darkest times and your darkest hour, remember the people who were there for you and then forget the people who weren't.

The rumors about my death are greatly exaggerated. I want to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart. I'll be back in the office in about 7 days! Inventory including DIY Edge-Enhancers will be available for purchase!! I'm poor right now, so please buy one! 😂😂

My friends, I have responded to every single remaining service install request. That includes N64, NES, SNES and of course the SNES Edge-Enhancer. My internet has been going in and out today which has made it incredibly frustrating to follow-up on E-mails, please bare with me.

Great work! So glad to be able to help in whatever small way I was able to. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @voultar.com for your videos and the confidence you give to people like me! I bought this faulty sega GG, with an awful partial recap job and managed to get it back from the grave. I'm really proud and grateful.

My friends! TONIGHT @ 10PM EST!! Come talk to me!

Tonight at 9 PM Central / 10 Eastern / 7 Pacific / 8 Mountain, we have Voultar! Hear him talk about video games and lots of fun mods. This is the man that fixed the Super Nintendo! buff.ly/3CPONyp @voultar.com

My friends, please heed this warning. Before purchasing anything from Limited Run Scams, ask them if they're going to be burning this Sega CD "release" onto CD-R like they did with their recent 3DO releases, ripping people off. Do not get scammed by this grifting company.

Available with English VA for the first time—Wolf Team’s (Tales RPG series) 16-bit CD collaborations with Madhouse (Trigun, Cardcaptor Sakura) return! Earnest Evans and Annet Returns will be available for pre-order on Friday, Feb. 7th! Wishlist and learn more today! bit.ly/3Ex3hDL

My friends! I had hoped to restock by the end of January, but it's looking I'll have the entire inventory (including DIY edge-enhancers) refreshed my (this month) February. The newly imposed tariff has changed everything. Please support small businesses! We are trying!

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I'm glad your repair went well and that you've got some new skills!

This was the first time I had really fixed something with soldering (the rest had been one off practice projects from hobby kits). It really made me feel like I could actually do it. @voultar.com is a large influence on that with the huge number of “how to” videos and guidance he’s posted.

$50 for a cut up, hacked up Wii motherboard just so you can print a 3D printed case to stuff it into along with a few batteries and an LCD screen.. Doing a one off is one thing, but making this a business to sell these in volume, I'll never understand. What do you all think?

You know what? If this service keeps a person from irreparably ruining a Wii, it can't be a bad thing. There's (currently) such an over abundance of Wii systems, this is better than them becoming E-Waste and being destroyed.

My friends, please repost this repair tip! I see many people servicing Wii systems and they absolutely wreck both the screw covers and bumpers and it makes me cringe. 100C heat for about 8 seconds will make short work of the adhesive, allowing you to re-use them! Enjoy!

My friends, do you want to know what the #1 killer to Wii hardware is? Dust! Clean those vents and you, too can save a console!

My friends, the blurriness of the 2CHIP SNES varies from system to system. The DAC inside PPU2 can have a very wide swing. Just know that my Edge-Enhancer will resolve these issues REGARDLESS of how bad! No special tricks or sampling. Just the hardware doing its job as designed.

I maintain that @electronshep.bsky.social's ElectronAVE HDMI kit for the Wii is the absolute best Wii HDMI modification. It's both affordable and very intelligently designed to work in all Wii consoles (excluding the shitty Wii Family Edition). This baby will be for sale, soon!

My friends, please join me on an 60 second NES restoration journey! This customer sent me a top-loading NES that had much sentimental value to them. I used all of my special tricks to install the NESRGB kit. But I also used some new tricks to revive this dirty, yellowed unit! Happy Monday, PPL!

My friends, I want to leave you with a before and after comparison of the video output coming from an RGB revised 2CHIP SNES that I just serviced. This is using GENERIC Tink settings -- No optimized sampling, no brightness/gain fixes. I want you to see what my hardware really does all on its own!

Lots of my time is spent reworking SNES hardware that's been repaired in the past. There is plenty of caramelized flux and debris on this system that I must remove before recapping! Unspent flux typically isn't an issue unless it's organic! A water-based flux MUST be cleaned and removed!

I charge a flat-rate to install the SNES Edge-Enhancer and recap the system, why? The answer is in these pictures. Most of the units sent to me require extensive repair from rot. If your SNES is taking a little longer, bear with me! I promise, I'm giving your SNES the BEST care, possible!
