I built a brand new DRAM chip tester which uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 to test at much faster speeds than previously possible. This amazing project was created by the brilliant Tube Time (https://bsky.app/profile/tubetime.bsky.social) But can it compete with my old testers?

When the Nintendo Wii launched in 2006 it didn't include HDMI - so let's add it using the ElectronAVE, a kit that keeps it all digital for a nice crispy video output!
