Watch horrible Duo mod work get repaired.

[Joe Redifer]

This deserves it's own thread. People who are buying pre-modded systems off of eBay probably won't wander into the repair/mods subforum first and very likely don't know about the glorious DoujinDance. This video from Voultar opens up one of DoucheinDance's systems that was sold for $400 on eBay and fixes everything. Watching him work is kind of like watching and listening to a vulgar Bob Ross fix PC Engine stuff. Very satisfying to watch this get fixed and enjoy his techniques. Yes, it's sexual.

Looks like one of the 3 plastic pins that holds the CD mech is broken off. The far right side.

Thanks for posting. Sharing this elsewhere.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this video. Although we had a thread or two here about "atrocious mods/repairs", a video with "insightful" commentary really helps me (a lei-man) understand stuff.

Sadly, I usually wouldn't find this sort of video "recommended" to me by the Google algorithm. My account has been compromised: someone has been signing-in with my YouTube credentials and watching Dane Cook videos for hours on end. This bastard then proceeds to award a "thumbs up" to each of these abominations.

So now, the "suggested" videos in my YouTube feed are equal parts Dane Cook, Dame Edna and Jim Lehrer.

Although I can't positively identify the person/organization tainting my YouTube feed, I suspect agents of FEKA.

If you see anything suspicious, please give me heads-up.

Thanks.

I have fixed many of these systems as well.

Mostly the RGB circuit Doujindance uses fades to a yellow'ish hue. And a lot of times the region mods don't work with everdrives.

I had a system a while ago that had some dead HuC chips on it so it used it as a parts system. First Doujindance system I got I got removed the hucard slot and replaced it. it's much faster and less messy this way imo. Then in your free time remove the black tar from the hucard slot pins and use that one on the next system that comes in that was modded by Doujindance.

Anyways, nice to see good quality repair to shitty ass mod work happening out there from other people as well.

Wish I would've seen something like this before I purchased one from him 2-3 years ago.

Thankfully, I've never had any issues with it, but I dread what I will uncover if I ever decide to look at its internals (which I will probably do right now after looking at this abomination).

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this.  I'm scared to even look inside the one I have....

Thanks for posting this. We always hear about how poor his work is but this video shows exactly why and how to do it right.

[Necromancer]

Heh, that was fun to watch.  It was still a lot of work, but I'm surprised how easy he made it look getting out all that goop.

I remember those days when I used to be happy with my doujindance.



Ignorance is bliss.

Some observations:

Why the hell is this in Chit Chat?

Why is his region board so big? The one I installed in my Duo R, years before he even began his "service", is half the size at most.

Re: "Service", see George Carlin.

Given that Doujindance has, apparently, modified hundreds (!) of Duos I think this thread should be pinned at the top of the TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion since the technique for epoxy removal will...probably have to be learned by all of us at some point.

The guy in the video kind of annoys me. I get what he's saying, and lots of non-annoying people only become annoying when you listen to them for 40 minutes like I just did, but he does kinda come off as self-aggrandizing to some extent. Also, if I were to rag on Doujindance for that long I'd concentrate on more of what a culture crime it is to f*ck up hundreds of Duos more than what he's charging for it. This is a subtle distinction, I don't expect anyone to get it.

I once posted a picture of a mod I did (Duo R region hack, same thing as here) and everyone here laughed at me because the wires I used were so thick. That modded system has been my daily ever since (2006) and has outlasted literally tens of millions of XBoxes and Playstations, that is, the system itself (go NEC!) and my big gauge region mod. This guy's crap somehow quits working even with enough epoxy to make the back of the HuCARD socket the most durable and indestructible part of the system.

At work we're doing this project involving portable poop/steam powered generators and the control units of the oil control units are completely filled with epoxy. %100 impossible to ever service...and this is common in industrial applications, but this is done with stuff that is built with almost no compromises in materials or design anywhere in the module so a) the odds of anything failing are low and b) if it does the cost of repair is anticipated/understood. There are no horrible surprises from the next guy to look at it. "Hey yeah, sir, we opened up your system and it turns out its completely filled with glue. I can't fix it. Come pick it up. No, I'm not interested in being paid flat rate to pick glue out of your POS, sir."

I like this guy... doing God's work saving these systems and has a similar sense of humor as myself.  "The Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" stuff is hysterical because I say the same thing.  I think it's because this very commercial made me the man I am today

It was quite satisfying to watch that poor Duo get cleaned up and fixed.  I'm quite curious exactly how many of the systems this guy has gooped up over the years.

Hahahahahhaha.

I don't remember that specific commercial, but there were a bunch of them.

Also, there was a 1-800 number in most commercials and the Church of LDS would send you a 30-40 minute video propaganda film. It was an awesome video, circa mi-80's.

I'm sure someone must have uploaded it to TubeYou by now.
