If you restart the Pi and log in as root, you can run the "dmesg" utility to see what happened. If you had an SSH session open to the Pi, you'd see the shutdown command started. This happens when there's an under-voltage event and the system shuts itself down. The PWR LED should always be on...

When selecting replacement fans (doesn't matter if it's the CPU, case or SUN PSU) always compare the datasheets. Noise level is not as important as CFM. If you're pushing a lot less air than the OEM fan, you increase the change of an early failure. This is especially true for the Sega Naomi 2...

I used to do a lot of PHP development in my past career, I don't mind going through your code and cleaning up all the PHP warnings and submit PR into your repo. Is accepting PRs something you're open to accepting?

I've spent more time on this and have been successful in: - upgrade Debian 10 to Debian 11 (as per DietPi instructions) - upgrade from DietPi tools 6.x to 8.x (the diet-pi update tool doesn't support such an old version). I opened a github issue and the developer gave me a solution...

I've been playing around with the v6.1 AIO image today and wanted to see if anyone else ran into the same issues I've encountered. The current image is running an old version of DietPi on a release based on Debian 10 Buster (that is losing it's LTS on June 30, 2024) FWIW, Debian 12 has been out...

Up for grab from my personal collection is my Killer Instinct PCB set. This has been in my personal collection for many years. Here's what's included: - Midway Killer Instinct PCB - perfect working condition (see video) and all original ROM chips (The BIOS chip has been upgraded to support...

I recently fixed bad VRAM on an Neo Geo AES with similar issue. Here's what I suggest you do: - socket both VRAM chips - swap the 2 position. You seem to have an issue with the upper bits of the VRAM chip, but the lower passes. Lower is tested first. Swapping chips will confirm the issue is...

The most recent 161-in-1 cart has 4 different flash ICs. I've now made about a dozen of these (not a big sample size) but I did notice a disturbing trend that some might want to be aware of. While the PROM, SROM and MROM flash chips are solid, not all the F0095H0's are made equally. I've had 3...

Hmm.. I need to look into it again. I recall seeing the connector on only 1 side. I'll look at it next time I make one of these carts..

If you cut open any of the female connectors, you'll see a single whip design; something we stopped using in IC sockets over 30 years ago. All it takes is some flux on the male pins, and you don't have a connection. I find I need to clean the programmer often using deoxite to get it to register...

The programmer is very iffy. I believe the checksum just does a quick sanity checks. As long as the required pins are connected, you'll get a good response; but it doesn't mean all the pins are connected. I've also seen cases where "verify" gives errors. I then do a "dump" and an md5sum...
