What if it doesnt work?
As long as you follow the instructions to the bone and be super careful when soldering, I can guarantee that it will work. However, sometimes you might make a mistake – and that’s okay. That’s why we have the medic support team on standby to work with you to resolve any issues that may occur when you build your kit.
Is it hard?
Bit worried that the kit may be too challenging? Let’s put your mind at ease and go over all the resources you have available to you:
- microcade video make guide. A 12 video short playlist you can follow along to when building your console – check it out before you buy here
- Built-in instructions on the kit itself. If you take a look carefully at the RED panels, you should notice alot of numbers and markings. These all correspond to other panels and help guide you when building your kit. Its another way to ensure you are soldering the right parts in place.
