FAQ

How do I know if your modifications will work?
We thoroughly test all consoles for functionality before and after performing any modifications. This includes any mods installed, video/audio, controller ports, memory cards, hard drives, disc drives etc. Although we do our best to test everything, please be mindful that most of these consoles are 25+ years old and may be fragile, so things can happen after it leaves our shop.
Our typical turnaround time for our consoles and Send in Services is 4-6 weeks, not including weekends and holidays. Accessories will usually ship within a week. If you shipped your console to us then processing time doesn't start until AFTER we pick up your console from our mailbox. We pick up orders on Fridays. Please allow the processing time to pass before asking for an update on your order. Be aware that this turn around time isn’t concrete and could extend longer due to our workload and/or other factors outside of our control such as shipment/delivery delays.
