Thank you for watching - I really appreciate it! I've been meaning to make more videos but life has been hectic recently. Hoping to make more videos in the next few days & weeks so keep your eyes peeled :-) Having some issues with the laser of my CDX at the moment so need to fix that before I can make videos of some of the games. Hope you continue to enjoy my videos! Anyone reading this be sure to check out Simple Improvement's channel too for some excellent gameplay videos as well as some interesting mods!
@@greyfox1127 Thanks for the shout out, man. That laser problem sounds nasty - I assume the only way is to replace it? I hope they are not too expensive these days around.
@@SimpleImprovement No worries - your channel has some really fascinating content. Yeah - its frustrating as I love the library on the system so I need to sort it & it looks like it is most likely the laser at fault & needs replacing. Either that or re-capping the system (which I had done some years back). So either need to send it away for the job to be done which is obviously expensive & has a risk. Or do the job myself. Looking at guides it looks super fiddly as obviously the system is tightly packed. Frustrating especially as I'd intended to follow up the SNES Final Fight vids with a comparison of the Sega D/Mega CD versions both Japanese & PAL. I do have other systems to play these on but these are locked to 50Hz so it makes capture a little more tricky & obviously the end result less reflective of how I used to play them. So may put that on the back burner while I order a laser & summon up the courage to open up the system. Still - lots of other video ideas in my head that I need to get round to making so maybe it just shifts the focus a little.
@@greyfox1127 Truth be told, I likely wouldn't dare to work on a vintage system myself either. Pretty sure it is possible to find some reliable third party. And either way, I always think it is better to take things slow, so it is a good idea just to lay those videos aside for a while. I will definitely wait for them as long as needed. Best of luck!
@@SimpleImprovement Yeah - I've done mods & repairs myself in the past but nervous about this system as it is super tightly packed & obviously fairly obscure. I'll have to have a think about it & whether I want to try to sort it myself or whether I find somewhere reliable to sort it. As you say though - plenty of other videos to be made in the meantime. So I'll shift focus a bit & make some of the other videos I've been thinking about, Keep your eyes peeled :-)

Thank you for keeping uploading your vids. I do not post comments since I have nothing to say, but I still watch your channel.
