I can tell all games run from 5 volt too. I've converted all my obsolete phone chargers with weird plugs to VFD power sources.
About polarity, it would also be nice to know which brands have diodes i ... |

I read the report by Pickett, and it is weird for the Youtuber to cite it just like that. It's from 2004, and at that time it appeared to be really hard to get an image of included bromine. The plasti ... |

Hi all,
I just discovered how easy it is to clean yellowed games.
