Sorry probably slightly off topic but I can't stop laughing at this and didn't know where else I could share the lols. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254722579607

The suggested location is by the IR sensor but technically you can put it anywhere. But yeah, if you put it there the IR sensor still works.

Tri-wing ok? Will have a look tonight.

Don't get ripped off on retrosix! I've probably got some knocking about I can send you for cost of postage.

Retrosix are massively overpriced. It actually annoys me. I understand they are trying to make a living from it but they are bordering on ripping people off with their mods. All the other bits they sell you can easily import from AliExpress for next to nothing too.

He's not working at the moment. Can order parts but not doing consoles. Plus any of these sites (see retrosix also) put on a large premium. Personally I think their builds can be a bit overpriced but I appreciate it can be more reassuring than taking a punt on eBay.

@sir stiff_one go for the one I linked. Mid July is only 6 weeks away and I couldn't guarantee parts would arrive in time. AliExpress give up 50 days in normal circumstances. The mod he has done is exactly what I would do. Looks like an original shell too rather than a cheapy Chinese replica. When it arrives just check for responsiveness of buttons. Some early ones had issues with protruding shell parts hitting the replacement PCB which meant you had to trim it down otherwise buttons wouldn't respond properly unless you mashed them hard. Or message him and check he's aware of that issue.

@sir stiff_one I literally just sold one on eBay!! Posted it yesterday, d'oh. Depends how quick you need it. I could build you one but parts from China are taking quite long at the moment. There are some decent guys selling them on eBay. They charge a few quid more than I would (as this is probably their business as opposed to a hobby!) but basically this is exactly what you want: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133402099818

To be fair I would want to shift that @watusi White with off-white??!! LCD wise the white, green and yellow are the easiest colours on the eye...if you go for for an IPS mod you can cycle colour combos by pressing the contrast wheel.

Fair price. Thing is with the backlit/bivert mod the parts are actually dirt-cheap but the difficulty level/time required is high. Opposite way round with the new IPS mod. Piss easy to install but fairly costly (about £45 for the screen/front assembly alone)

Not sure Joe does commissions these days but he is a very sturdy modder and a good egg. @sir stiff_one my oldest of buddies. Have you seen the new IPS modded DMGs??!! They make the bivert/backlight mod look like a Vectrex in comparison. There's still an old school charm about the old mod but the IPS screen is absolutely stunning.

Yeah but then saying that, I found The Last of Us sewer sections Bioshock-esque but I absolutely loved that game. I think it was because there were genuine extended periods of respite from it all though. Not just a safe room occasionally with a shitty plant and fluffy music. I have absolutely zero chance to play games in the day which makes it worse. Only time I can play them is late at night when I'm on my own

OK gotcha. I guess I never really appreciated the GC version as a genuine remake, more a sprucing up... but point taken, I suppose it was. I may grab the HD version first then before I go for RE2

Nope, haven't played it. Last Resi I played was 6 I think? Definitely played 5 and obviously loved 4.
