Weird wires in Sega Genesis Model 1

I just picked up a US model Sega Genesis model 1 with a model 1 Sega CD today. Untested, consoles only. I'm waiting on the cords to come in for the Sega CD, but the Genesis works perfect. When I opened it up to clean it I saw these wires on there. Any idea what they are for? Possible mod of some sort? And don't worry I cleaned all the crud out of it lol. Thanks in advance!

PS5 Physical Edition Disc Issues?

Recently FINALLY received my PS5 Croc The Legend of Gobbos Platinum Edition physical copy and my disc will not read in my PS5 for some reason. My PS5 will read any of the other 10 or so physical games I have pretty quickly and without issue. But when I put Croc in, it continues to spin and spin and try to read it but always fails. My disc was knocked loose in the sealed case when I got it but I can not see and damage to the disc or scratches or anything. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I reached out to RockIt Games but still have not gotten a response. Very frustrating after waiting a year and a half for this game. And yes I have been inserting the disc in the correct orientation when putting it in the console lol.

PS3 Digital Only Games & DLC List?

Since the PS3 and Vita stores will be shutting down soon, has anyone made a list of all the games and DLC we will no longer be able to access? Specifically items that are ONLY obtainable on the store and not on a Game Of The Year edition or similar edition physical copy of a game?

And before anyone tells me to mod my PS3 and get the content that way, yes I know that is an option but I prefer un-modded consoles in my collection.

Thank you!

N64 Distorted Audio / Video

I recently picked this NTSC N64 up for cheap untested. It has these weird audio and video distortions present no matter what I do. It seems to only happen on moving images and not static images. (See lines across screen in pics.) When the issue happens, there's a very high pitched kind of static sound present too. What I've tried:
- Known working jumper pak
- Known working expansion pak
- Refurbished cartridge reader connector
- Several known working games
- Known working power cord
- Known working composite video cables
- Cleaned motherboard
* My Pelican switcher is not the issue either. *
The motherboard was not super dirty when I took it apart either, just dusty. No evidence of corrosion, cockroaches, etc. I also can not visibly see anything wrong on the motherboard. Any ideas on what to do / try? Thanks in advance!

Zoinks 24V Halo Warthog Adding R/C Capability Wiring Issue

So I recently picked up a Zoinks 24V Halo Warthog powerwheels and it has the B-type battery connector. Over the weekend I added a wiring harness and a steering motor for R/C capability. I literally got everything done and ordered a spare charger so I could cut off the B-type connector in order to add it to the new wiring harness. Well when I added that connector the new wiring harness doesn't get power. But if I shove the bare exposed wires from the new wiring harness into the connector on the battery side it works fine. Any idea why the connector would not work? I even ordered a second charger and used the connector off of it thinking the first one I ordered was a dud, but still nothing. I noticed the charger is a 12v charger after the fact and the battery is a 24v battery. Would that have any effect on it even though it's just the connector? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can't find just a B-type connector anywhere so that's why I ordered a charger and cut it off. Pics are of the connector I cut off the charger. And yes I verified the plug is pinned correctly and everything matches up.

Need Help Identifying Connector Name

Anyone know the name of this connector? It's for the battery and charger on a 24V power wheels ride on toy. I just need the male end connector but after some lengthy Googling I can't find just the connector anywhere. Black cable is the end I need, white cable is the female end for reference. Thanks!

Zoinks Halo Warthog 24v Parts

I picked up a Zoinks 24v Halo Warthog yesterday and am looking for some parts if anyone has any available? I need the following:
- 1 hub cap
- Both left and ride side step rails
- Laser tag vest
- Laser tag plasma pistol
I found that KidsWheels in Texas has a website that claims to sell them but they have HORRIBLE Yelp reviews so curious if anyone has ordered from them before? I reached out to them but haven't heard back yet. I am located in the US also. If anyone has any spare parts, knows where to get some, or the ability to 3D print them for me please reach out! Thank you!
