At my core, I believe legendary hardware shouldn't be limited by the era it was born in. Based in Australia and run by a dedicated engineer and lifelong enthusiast, I bridge the gap between retro console soul and modern tech.
I don't just "fix" consoles; I re-engineer them. Whether it’s installing TMR sensors to eliminate stick drift or developing custom USB-C power delivery for the DualShock 4 or adding modern wireless capabilities to the PlayStation 2, my focus is on precision and durability. I believe a controller should feel as responsive today as it did when you first unboxed it; only better.
Modern Connectivity for Classic Systems My development pipeline is driven by a "no-compromise" philosophy. I specialise in bringing 21st-century utility to the consoles that defined our childhoods.
Built Locally, Calibrated Globally Every modified system and accessory that leaves my bench undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets my strict technical benchmarks. As an Australian small business owner, I am proud to provide high-tier modification services, pre-built systems, and custom kits for anyone who values both the nostalgia of retro consoles and the reliability of modern components.
Keep your favorite hardware in your setup and out of the display case.

The Next Level of Legacy
Hardware to Revive a Clasic
Breathe new life into your Sony PlayStation DualShock 4 controller with the BT-DS4C USB-C Conversion Kit by bloomtec. This modification replaces the notorious, failure-prone Micro-USB charging port with a robust, modern Koren HRO Parts USB-C port.
Unlike basic passive mod boards, the BT-DS4C is engineered with true power delivery standards in mind. The kit fully supports charging across modern USB-C to USB-C power supplies as well as standard USB-A ports. To safeguard your controller's valuable internal hardware, the design incorporates self resetting protective fuse alongside a muRata common-mode choke to suppress data noise during wired play.
Whether you're restoring an early-gen JDM-001 or a late-gen JDM-055 DualShock 4, the BT-DS4C offers broad compatibility. Each kit comes complete with both 12-pin and 14-pin 100mm ribbon cables and onboard high-density FFC connectors. Fitted with a vibrant NationStar RGB LED and finished on a sleek purple PCB, the BT-DS4C delivers an OEM-like fit with enthusiast-grade reliability.
Features
Modern USB-C Upgrade: Replaces the standard Micro-USB port with a durable, reversible USB-C interface for charging and wired controller operation.
Universal DualShock 4 Revision Support: Includes onboard connectors and both 12-pin and 14-pin (100mm) flexible flat cables (FFC) to support early and late DualShock 4 controller board generations (JDM-001, JDM-011, JDM-020, JDM-030, JDM-040, JDM-050/055).
Type-C Power Delivery Compliance: Integrated dual 5.1kΩ pull-down resistors compatibility with standard USB-C-to-USB-C and USB-A-to-USB-C cables and power sources.
Integrated Hardware Protection:
Overcurrent Protection: Self resetting 1.8A fuse guards the controller's mainboard against power surges and faulty chargers.
Signal Integrity & EMI Suppression: Built-in muRata common mode choke filters electromagnetic interference for clean data transfer and reliable wired gameplay.
Full Lightbar Visual Integration: Features a high-brightness NationStar RGB LED to preserve full lightbar illumination and functionality.
Premium PCB Build: Built on a compact 0.8mm purple FR-4 PCB with white silkscreen, and lead-free HASL finish for corrosion resistance.
BT-PSVSD
Unlock massive, seamless internal storage on your Sony PlayStation Vita (3G PCH-1100 model) with the BT-PSVSD Internal SD Card Mod by bloomtec. Engineered by Alex Carter this hardware module replaces the obsolete internal 3G cellular modem with a micro SD card bridge connected directly to the console's internal USB bus.
At the heart of the board is the Genesys Logic GL835 card reader controller. It provides full SDXC support for cards up to 2TB, delivering fast load times over USB 2.0 while using Spread Spectrum Clocking to protect audio and video signals from RF interference. Power is cleanly filtered through an onboard Texas Instruments 3.3V LDO and a network of low-ESR Murata ceramic capacitors to ensure long-term stability under heavy read/write cycles. Built on a quality board with gold contacts (ENIG), the BT-PSVSD includes a flexible 100mm 12-pin ribbon cable for easy positioning. It is the ultimate invisible storage upgrade for custom firmware users who want maximum storage capacity without giving up the physical game cartridge slot.
Features
Permanent Internal Storage Expansion: Replaces the internal 3G modem board to add a dedicated Micro SD slot, leaving your primary game card slot free for physical game cartridges.
Powered by Genesys Logic GL835: Leverages a high-performance, crystal-less USB 2.0 to SD 3.0 controller chip supporting high-speed USB 2.0 transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and cards up to 2TB. This can saturate the bus to achieve maximum performance.
Interface Standard: USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps compliance) with integrated PHY transceiver and 8051 MCU core.
SD Card Standard Support: Supports SD 1.0/1.1/2.0/3.0 (UHS-I SDR25 / SDR50) and SDXC cards up to 2TB.
Power Management: Automatic power-saving suspend modes keep the idle draw in the nA range to prevent extra battery drain (much less than the original modem*).
Architecture Benefits: Integrated on-chip clock source (crystal-less operation) and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) inside the console casing.
Dedicated Power Regulation: Features an onboard Texas Instruments 3.3V LDO regulator alongside high-density Murata ceramic decoupling capacitors for ultra-stable power delivery and clean signal filtering.
Direct 3G Slot Drop-In Fit: Designed on a custom 1.0mm FR-4 PCB with gold-plated contact fingers (ENIG 1U") for a secure, low-profile fit inside the PS Vita 1000 OLED 3G chassis.
ncluded Ribbon Extension: Comes bundled with a 100mm 12-pin 0.5mm Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) for clean internal routing.
Improved Design: Signal integrity is greatly improved over other designs by keeping the chipsets single ended signals close to the SD Card socket, delay matching the USB signals and using shield/grounds provided in the Vita. The slot is taller and offset to make it as easy as possible to access the card and prevent it from becoming jammed in the casing.
