@@nico94ar I'm sorry, I don't have the knowledge or experience to identify the exact type of screw needed. Even if I guessed, I don't want to put the wrong information out there. It might be worth buying a cheap broken console and using those screws. It isn't the cheapest option, but at least you'll know you have the right screws for certain.

In the video, I confirm this works with physical PS1 games on a PS3 Super Slim. I would imagine it works similarly with PS2 games, although I don't have any PS2 Classics or a PS3 original model to confirm that. If playing PS1 and PS2 backups uses the same interface as playing a real disk does on PS3, then that should also be possible, but I can't confirm this personally.

@RestoreRevise Thanks again for this very useful video and your reply. But I thought that only the PS3 fat that could play physical PS2 games. I'm asking as even though I have a PS5 I would like a slim PS3 just to play my favourite old PS1 and PS2 4 player games when I have friends over and would be great if I could do this without having to buy two different multi tabs and consoles.

@@timbaker5353 I believe that some other PS3 models can play physical PS2 games. Some models have the actual PS2 hardware on the motherboard, and some play physical PS2 games via emulation (possibly a mix of hardware and software, but that's a little beyond my understanding). All PS3 consoles can play physical PS1 games, from what I know. A PS3 would be a great solution for your needs - I would recommend doing some research on the various models and their capabilities as far as physical PS2 games go before making a purchase, but I think you're on the right track.

Thank you! Did you try removing the whole drive from the console? You may be able to tell if something is physically blocking the drive from opening by looking inside of it through the bottom.

If the hotel offers Wi-Fi access for guests, I think most consoles support captive portal pages nowadays. Those are the pages you have to open and agree to the terms and/or provide your name and room number to before you can access the internet. That's worth a try. If not, your best bet would be to tether to your phone via Wi-Fi and use your mobile data, if your cell phone plan has unlimited data and allows tethering. I wouldn't recommend connecting to random networks or anything like that. I haven't been in a hotel which offered a wired internet connection in a long time, but if one is available, that's your most reliable and simplest option.

Are you sure your PS4 is using a sound format that the TV can accept? It's possible you're trying to use Dolby or DTS Surround; try forcing your sound format to PCM Stereo (or the PS4 equivalent) and see if that fixes it. If not, my recommendation would be to grab some headphones and listen to the audio through the controller instead. It can be hard to diagnose that sort of issue without seeing it in person, and that should be a reliable workaround.

It sounds like they may have set their TV system up to be as hostile as possible to personal devices. That's a bummer, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

@@Hgd24478 I'm not sure! If you have documentation for your adapter, I would see if there's any mention whether multitaps are supported. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work, though. I think the adapter itself would need to be able to identify the multitap, adapt its data sampling methods to support it, and have the ability to provide power to up to 4 controllers and memory cards.

Mostly for the reason rest of the industry stopped doing laptops this way. And it's not planned obsolescence (mostly). Similarly spec'd slab of moulded and glued e-waste costs four times less, even for big brands with sticker premium.

And in late 2000s-2010s spaghetti coders outpaced hardware capacity so laptops would become unusable before battery died anyway.

Why do you say that ? I planned on buying one

@@YuutoKuranashi it feels unfair that I can't get one that will work in the US 😅

The keyboard spacers are a free upgrade for anyone that has a FW16 that has keyboard flex.

That's too bad, but like you said, I guess that's to be expected. I hope this helps you with the battery replacement!

@@yeolemillinial8295 Thanks for the info! I saw that when I was doing research for this video, and it seems like a lot of people are happy with the results. It sounds like an effective, simple mod. I prefer to keep hardware original, where possible, so I'd rather pick up a Super Game Boy 2 instead. That way, I can always offer a comparison between both SGB models as well.

@@RestoreRevise if you keep the removed components you can always reverse the mod at least

@@czechvirusS those are good solutions and I'd definitely consider getting either one once I have the need to record pixel perfect Game Boy games!

Thanks for checking it out!

And thank you for checking it out! I hope your algorithm streak keeps going!

And that makes it a very accurate portrayal of the original Game Boy experience! 😂

They were my first console and game, and I couldn't have asked for a better start!

That's a good point - honestly, I can live with a small speed boost to those games! 😅

It came out way before pokemon though, and there were a good number of titles that were “SGB enhanced” with color and custom borders you could only see with the SGB. Pokemon red/blue weren’t though. But I do think you might be kinda on to something because the gameboy color felt more like what pokemon was originally intended for- so many diff color palettes (with that button combo when you boot a GBC) that really made the games look distinctive, plus pokemon yellow which was still 1st gen was enhanced tor the GBC.

It is, but I also have access to a Game Boy Player and Game Boy Interface, so it's not a high priority for me at the moment in terms of gameplay capture for Game Boy titles. It would still be useful for capturing games with Super Game Boy enhancements, though!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you appreciated the approach.

That is too funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one to have made that mistake. 😅

Hi there! The PS1 multitap only works for PS1 games when used with a PS2. It will not work for PS2 games which use a multitap - those require the PS2 multitap. I hope that helps!

@@RestoreRevise thanks!

Hey there, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It's hard to know for certain, but it sounds like there's an issue with the multitap itself if the PS2 works fine without it. I'm having a hard time finding an example of your specific multitap, but I know some third party versions require extra power via an external adapter. Is it possible yours needs one and is missing it? If not, it's probably worth opening the multitap up to find and diagnose whatever could be wrong with it. Best of luck to you, hopefully you can find the root cause!

@@RestoreRevise Thank you for you’re response! External adapter? The multitap has an non removable chord which plugs into the controller port, as well as 4 slots for controllers and 1 memory card slot, would there be a way to add power via one of those slots perhaps?

@@michael.christo4824 It doesn't sound like it from what you've shared with me. My guess is that there's a problem with the multitap itself, like one of the components inside it has failed or is malfunctioning.

Yes, you can! That's the only way to play multitap PS1 games on larger PS2 consoles. The PS1 multitap won't work for PS2 games on any PS2 console, though.

It might work, but I wouldn't recommend it because the controller is designed to have a battery connected at all times, unlike Xbox 360 controllers, where the batteries are intended to be replaced by the user. It would probably be fine, but it might not be best for the lifespan of the controller.

That can be tricky, but you may have luck gently wedging a small, flat head screwdriver under the screw head while turning the screw counter-clockwise with another screwdriver. Hopefully, that will help the screw come up a bit and allow you to wedge the flat head screwdriver a little deeper until the screw is able to push itself out by its threads.
