Just when we needed him most, he returned.
Strapon in hand and all!
Take off the blazer loosen up the tie.
We can count on him more than we can count on Bob being out in the barn milking his horses 🐴 😂
Glad you’re feeling better!
_lights a prop cigarette and takes a drag_ Been a while, Voultar
The way he says "Just like that" is strangely comforting
I was confused at first hearing Marc Dildoson talk about the N64. But yeah I agree he'd love this.
Joe, would you consider the N64 one of your private pleasures?
I would love this too since I love my N64, but I prefer buying a RetroTink because it makes more sense to me.
he was not talking about the N64 he was jerking the damn thing off pretty much
I read this probably 3 times as I was writing my own comment, and only on the third time did I finally catch "Dildoson" 🤣
I posted it on the MiLG discord and Try was laughing
You are such a good honest down to earth dude. Not trash talking the product just stating your opinion while still promoting it and saying nothing better could be had. Glad to see you sticking to your values and being a great person all these years since I knew you almost going on a decade now since I used to modorate TIZ and you frequented there so often. Oh and also congrats on the 80k subs man, you deserve it.
I agree, except for the intro which I thought was vulgar, but... hey... I guess I'm a very susceptible person. 😅
Finally! The sensual soldering experience I've been waiting for! I saw the other videos popping up in my feed as well. And after watching them all I could think was how our Lord Voultar would come through and show a premium version of this installation. That and some of the ribbon soldering techniques were atrocious.
I learned everything I know about soldering from watching your channel. It inspired me to buy decent gear and supplies, and I got ahold of a scrap board for practice. With your clear, concise instruction I caught on quickly. Since then I've gone on to apply these skills to numerous Electronic, Household, and even Automotive repair and modification applications. Your videos have broadened my horizons and I look forward to each new video.
I could always tell from the Solid Snake voice that you were more of a PS1 guy.
The Bob Ross of electronics. "JUST LIKE THAT".
I made this joke to a co-worker a couple of years ago when I introduced him to Voultar's videos. The guy seriously asks "Who is Bob Ross?" I confirmed that he wasn't joking, he was serious. 2 years later I am still stunned...
Never modded my systems before but I can’t get enough of these videos. Learned a ton and I’ve improved my soldering a lot from watching.
That intro was great lol.
I'm so glad I found this channel! Not only am I getting to see how to properly/professionally install mods but I'm also learning how to solder at the same time. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!
So good to have you back, Voultar. I always enjoy your moding tutorials. It is like meditation and education rolled into one! Cheers from Canada -- have a safe and fun Independence Day.
Your video is the only one that makes me consider attempting this myself but in all reality I will probably send it to you.
Around a dozen 4 player offerings for this system are what really made it compelling among a group of friends, especially in an era of turbulent dial up internet.
2023 I will have my 1080p dream N64 thanks to you.
Much props.
You love teaching and I love learning, it is in fact a Win-Win situation!
I was an electronic technician and I did soldering professionally for a few years and I must say you do an amazing job! I love your work, and it's always nice to see someone as skilled as you are teaching the newbies what to do, and how to fix mistakes without professional tools!
Cameras off, suddenly: "Voultar Transform" booms out, then he's so 1337 he becomes wireframe.
Super Mario 64 was a game changer in 96, anyone at the time could see it
This is the BEST possible upgrade to almost any retro console turning it into full RGB HDMI output something completely impossible at the time they were released
Great watch, thank you for the patient explanations of your techniques. Keep 'em comin!
Thanks, your instructions were just right to the point. Followed them and by the end of the video my N64digital was working perfectly.
I watched some of the install videos and immediately thought of the points you made. I'm pretty sure I even verbally said at one point "Voultar would NOT like that soldering job".
Thank you my Lord!!! After watching your channel and this particular video a thousand & one times, I just finished installing my N64 Digital kit successfully! (And I've only had my KSGER soldering station for a little over a week now.)
Thank you for coming back to the scene, and continuing to teach us mortals the art of "clean & safe soldering technique." I appreciate and enjoy learning from you! Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!! 😎 🤜🤛
Managed to install my own N64Digital the other day following your amazing instructions. Thanks for the good work Voultar! Looking forward to doing more mods on my other consoles in the future.
As someone who recently had to try to solder using a tip that was too damn big for the job, seeing those tips got me excited.
Ohhh yeah.
Beautiful work
Im glad voultar shook the trees a bit there at the end about the ultra HDMI mod and it's scarcity. I made similar mention in my warrior 64 review.
Never been a fan of the 64 but I Love watching you work on it....
For me, where this kit really shines is with the scanline filter. It looks amazing, and I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Maybe most people don't like it, I guess. It's completely a matter of personal preference.
i learn so much about sistems and proper soldering technique with these videos. I missed them so much. Thanks for sharing and caring so much , Voultar ^^
You’re a much needed force for us who want to repair our electronics ourselves. Thanks for the tips.
Props to you for having a bottle of liquid flux. I used to do 12 hours of surface mount repairs for a living at Solectron, Texas, back when Pentium Pro boards were being sold by Gateway and Dell. I always got a great sense of satisfaction clearing solder bridges from fine pitch components, just like this.
I came to see the n64, I stayed because I love the way you made it and the experience overall with the way you are. Thanks!
It's always awesome to watch you soldering!
Just wrapped up this install. Thanks a lot for this awesome guide and your encouraging words along the way. This was therapeutic and a getaway from a busy everyday life, even though it was just for a couple of hours. I checked out a lot of videos but ended up only listening to your words. I never soldered anything but a couple of flex cables for a GBA, but you helped me through this one. Thanks a lot! liked and subscribed.
I just finally ordered 2 of these for me and a buddy. We will be using this tutorial for sure. Also 3D printed the no cut mod for it as well. N64 is one of my favorite console, and I'm so excited for this mod.
Good stuff buddy, some great tips here! Excited to what else you got coming!!
The bridge removal techniques are outstanding! Thanks for the tip...giggity...Voutlar!
i love Voultar's calm voice ♥
Besides this N64 - Voultar you inspired me to do Xstation on PS1 by myself - God bless you mate!
For a hot minute I thought RUclips broke and I was somehow watching My Life in Gaming lol
Thank you Voultar, thank you. I appreciate you putting in the effort to teaching the rest of us, despite this one being for a system you don't even like. I am about to install mine, and have watched PixelFX' own install video, and felt a little iffy about tackling that ribbon cable. I decided to look through your videos for a similar project to see good technique, and fortunately found this one. I don't think I'm ever using desoldering braid again! I started soldering projects only earlier this year, and my confidence and technique today, well, I kind of feel like a badass. And it's all thanks to you. Keep up the amazing tutorials, teacher!
Despite of the fact that the n64 didn't catch your attention, is important to point out for other people, that no matter how big the PS1 library was in that era, the higher highs of the n64 changed the industry.
While PS1 delivered traditional dpad controllers (or analog ones that were poor supported by some games, since the base gameplay demanded to be coded with dpads in mind, since the analog controllers were a non-default accessory), the n64 was indeed, delivering 3d gameplay wise. Yes, the ps1 sold 4 times more than the n64, was much more popular, had the best rpgs, etc... But the gameplay of those games, was always something that felt it could be better, less stiff, more modern, etc.
The Resident Evil series, Tomb Raider, don't have that tank gameplay because it was the desire of the developers, it was a solution for the outdated out of the box ps1 technology. Of course, not everygame could benefit of modern analog control, 2d fighting games, platform, beat'n'ups were terrible on analog stick, but at that time, those games were kind of despised, because 3d graphics/gameplay were all the rage then.
The n64 stablished things like: lock aim (Zelda Ocarina of Time), analog controls, functional FPS games on console, 3d gameplay, camera control, high resolution (expansion pak). All of this still a thing today. I can't remember any inovation at all of PS1 that still a thing. Maybe dual L and R and Analog stick, but this is not new technology, is justing add more of something that already exists.
I just want to say, thank you for all the content Voultar. You encouraged me to pick up a SCPH-1001 PS1 with a broken CD drive, clean it up nice, and mod it with an XStation. As well as fix up a Saturn with a broken PSU. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you go about your excellent mod work, and take care.
Masterful work as always sir. Thanks for taking the time to get this out.
Welcome back!
Ooo Dam! I like that makeshift solder wick strat.
Edit - CAREFUL with the Jumper Pack orientation when testing lads. If you put it in backwards you'll blow a fuse. It's a resetting fuse though so if that happens just unplug the PSU and wait a few minutes.
Excellent guide! You have a fantastically pleasant demeanor and do great work!
Love the video man it was a great watch and I learned a bunch
Thank goodness for the alternative to the UldraHDMI.
Yeah, I agree!
Because of your videos/streams and some practice I can now solder this type of mods. Thank you!
My ads think your a soldering robot or are similar to a soldering robot. Side note I’ve learned a ton over the years from your videos and helped many of my friends fix failed installs on multiple things, so thanks!
10:57 If Bob Ross soldered, this would be it. I am now calm and collected to attempt this myself. Thank you.
omg i love to hear your voice. no for real i hate soldering but i have to watch your videos. just cant stop
My Life in Gaming is just doing videos for every channel these days.
What a legend ! Straight talking, sensual soldering king. Keep it up dude.
I’m jealous of Tri’s enthusiasm:/ I too wasn’t real hot for the 64…but hearing him talk about it makes me want to go mushroom hunting to fix that. Maybe my soldering skills will improve too!
1. Clean your freaking systems before you send them off to get repaired. What if something is still alive when it gets there??
2. I love this install video. Not removing the expansion pack and leaving the 5,000 screws in the N64 board were a HUGE time saver.
3. I fully agree with the statement about not buying the Ultra HDMI. I finally got my hw2. While I love some of its features, it's only a matter of time before PixelFX catches up with it in firmware updates and then surpasses it. Ultra HDMI v2 is a great product, but for the production time and communication from Marshall it's not worth waiting for when products like PixelFX and Retrotink 5X are finally available. But for anyone that is still in that dumpster fire of a thread, know that Ichinisan and his brother CZroe are working constant late nights to get product into people's hands and refunds back into wallets. It's slow, but it's rolling.
Yeah I got my system with ultra HDMI hw2 recently and was curious how the n64 digital would compare. In general I recommend supporting pixel fx due to the team being reliable.
I keep waffling back and forth between the mClassic with Super64, or doing the HDMI mod. They both have their pros and cons, and the work of installing the N64Digital is well within my skillset, but then again there is satisfaction and bragging rights of "yeah I soldered in an HDMI output" LOL
Great video as well. I consider myself highly skilled with soldering, so I always end up critiquing all these install videos in my head, and looking to see if there are methods from others that are worth trying that I could learn something new with, and the way you walk through the steps and error correction is outstanding. Keep up the great work.
Sounds a bit weird I know but does anyone else find watching @Voultar like some kind of AMSR video?!?
Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, Blast Corps, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Majora's Mask, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie, Pilot Wings 64, and Turok, the N64 had a small library but some amazing titles I still fondly remember. Also it had out of the box 4 controller ports. We used to play a lot of 4 player Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 all weekend long. The N64 was a big part of my childhood.
Man I love your solder work it's so clean
The way you cr@pped on the N64, being my favorite system ever (wow, who would have guessed that system is amazing to some of us, heh?) makes it easier for me. If I see a Voultar video next time, remind myself, don't click on it, just don't. You Tube made easier, as simple as that.
Hey man, I've been doing mods and repairs for a long time, and I appreciate seeing your work. There are too many bad modders out there, and not enough showing the right way to do it, like you do.
Excellent video as always Voultar. I saw the videos of this mod from other people, But seeing I prefer to hear it from the Master himself (Aka you) This is something I'll keep in the documentation for a future mod if i do buy a 3rd N64. :) Thanks again Voultar. You're the man.
I want to mention my past days of using my UltraHDMI N64 is to make sure the Mini-HDMI cable isn't going up in an angle when connecting to a higher location like a TV/Monitor HDMI port, make sure it is going straight forward by a couple of inches. I remember the mini-HDMI port getting disconnected from the board because of this.
Excellent video. Really detailed and well explained exploration. I know I wouldn't be able to do a more advanced mod like this but I very much see how it would be done and how it see if it's a quality job or not. I appreciate your honesty with the mod too! Also, loved the humour you added to the video.
Thanks Voultar! I think I'll take your advice and stick with S-Video and my RetroTINK 5X on this one. Idk, maybe someday. Always fun to have future projects available.
LOL that intro. Hilarious
Thanks for showing us how it's really done!
Thank you for doing this. I have a mod kit for the Ultimate HDMI and I have this one, too, but haven't installed either. I'll definitely do this first.
The question remains, where do I get a copy of Arnold Beast!?
Another amazing video. I absolutely love and appreciate your soldering lessons! Thank you!
I personally never understood why people liked the N64, but I can't deny that people do like it (I have no clue why). Perhaps the most heartwarming thing about this mod is that people still make ways for these old consoles to play well on modern displays, which is something I always appreciate. (Even if the console isn't great)
I feel like i SORTA get it, after playing the Switch version of Mario 64, and its the same reason i personally liked PS1, and that was because that was when it felt like legit _anything_ was possible, and most companys damn near threw everything at these two consoles to prove that
Voultar trolling "My Life in Gaming" is a work of art!
Always love the videos Voultar!
Welcome back lord Voultar!
Happy Fourth of July Weekend!
I thought I didn't care for this system too much either, but one day our housemate's dog Kes decided to piss on it because she thought it was getting attention that she deserved more, and I finally understood.
Goldeneye was becoming too much of an obsession.
Quake was just way better on every single level.
Good girl, Kes. Thanks for bringing us back down to earth.
We'll meet again in Valhalla, and I'll bring all of the balls.
BARK!
God, you still make this look easy! Thank you!
Love seeing your work. You make soldering look like literal child's play lmao. Also I love that you keep things 1000% too.
Glad to see more content from ya :) Always loved your stuff and how in depth you go to the instructions. Thank you for everything!!
Well your N64 RGB kit (like I did).. would be great to look at... N64 is not my fav system but, I did love back the day...many great games for the system
I love how clean and neat your mods are
The champion is back
What an absolute chad. Voultar back with another fantastic mod video.
I don't have an N64. I don't mod systems. I watched this entire video.
The way your voice is, and the way you narrate you video reminds me of Bob Ross. Great video!
Ain't that the work on Macho Nacho in the beginning? I remember watching it and thinking: "oh how I would love to see Voultar take on this one!"
Glad to see you do this video. I ended up hiring a modder to install my UltraHDMI because the install seemed far beyond my soldering comfort zone from all those other install videos.
Edit/Update: I wish I knew about the crap from the UltraHDMI before I got mine, but I have it now and it suits me
I came for the soldering, but stayed for the secrets.
Great video! It’s only thanks to your awesome videos and great tips that I am able to do installations for myself. Got an n64digital with no sweat! Thanks again. Can’t wait for the next video.
That wick alternative may just become my wick full stop from now on. Also digging the nes style starfox music. Great turorial i love picking up tricks from you, always such damn clean work.
Rad2X is great. I RGB modded mine with some cheap parts from Spain on Ebay. I use the Rad2X on the Toploader NES,SNES,N64 and Gamecube. HDMI for all. The RGB amplifier is great.
welcome back, good shit
God damn I've missed this man. Hope your health is good. Thank you for all you do my man.
Voultar as always the best, greetings from Chile.
It hurts not to have that quality and products here in my country. I bought your n64 RGB chip a few years ago and installed it on my own and it is fantastic to use it with the hd retrovision cable, but N64 in my opinion you have to be a big fan of it because graphically it is not the great wonder except for some games, such like Zelda, Castlevania and Conker. and the HDMI and Component Cable do not work miracles
6:48 XDD "Your middle finger"
Great video! :)
The SM64 remix soundtrack on this video is pretty damn good.
Thats some shiny T1000 juice
Got HW1 of the mod in 2021, was gonna try to have you install it but your work load was too much. Despite that, you directed me to use the no cut and get retro frog’s adapter which kept me from cutting plastic while keeping my dual output dreams.
But after a good year of practice on GB and GBA games and doing a SNESjr RGB install, finally did it myself with your video in combination of LI Retro and Dubesinhower. (I was also able recap the system too)
Have a CPU-8 like the video and surprisingly with your methods, absolutely crazy how easy it was to get the main flex cable installed on the cpu legs.
Thanks for the vid and personal help, (and the 3 snes boards i busted by pulling pads with bad solder and flux while learning to solder)❤
Awesome video Voultar
Lord Voultar is doing the Lord's work.
The legend.. has finally returned
Quality content as usual, great video ! Tricky work made to look easy when you have the right tools and techniques. Thanks for sharing these with the community.
That beginning was epic!!! I always thought the same thing lol
Thought what? Honestly, I felt that the intro was vulgar and seemed vitriolic. I only watched a few soldering videos from Voultar before, but that was the first time I was discovering the "persona". I'm not sure we need more toxicity or whatever you could call this.
@@bowi1332 If I have to explain something very simple as to what I thought your a idiot! It's not unknown that I think the N64 is a piece of shit when it comes to video quality. Vultar doesn't hide his feelings about stuff. Neither do I... That's why I enjoy watching him. If it pisses you off that people have different opinions that differ from your own, than watch something else fruit cake!
Great vid, you and borderlineOCD are the best at these. Would you consider doing the XBOX MakeMHz HDMI mod next?
