I have been lurking here (in a rather obsessive manner) for nearly a week now, and I figured now would be a good time to reveal myself (lest I dwell unnoticed in a corner for the rest of eternity).
My name is amber,
I’m 17,
and I knew virtually nothing about portabalizing consoles before I found this forum!
However, I love video games—a little too much—and I learn things quickly. During my prowling, I’ve already gained comprehension of terms such as (but are by no means limited to): “soldering”, “cartage slot relocation”, and… other ones that I currently cannot recall at this particular moment in time.
Haha!
I won’t lie to you though—I am not entirely void of retro system knowledge. I already have been repairing and maintaining old videogame systems/ games and such for a good while, and hence have basic familiarity (except for all Sega systems prior to the Dreamcast, which is downright shameful, I know
…)I plan on buying the book as soon as humanly possible, but I was wondering where I can gain fundamental circuit board knowledge and soldering skills, etc.
I am itching to get started
and i apologize in advance for pestering the life out of you throughout my portablizing career.
. I never did good in grammar (haha, grammar pun--"well" should be used instead of "good", right? lol--I go to a private school and reading (classic literature) and creative writing are some side hobbies if that explains anything. Rest assured, I can talk like a normal human if I so choose.
