Question PS2 Portable Helppp

[WIFI Darth Maul]

So i trimmed my PS2 Mobo and cut the usb ports off, without knowing that i have to solder the USB ports to two tiny traces that i have to scratch on the mobo. Are there any alternate points where i can solder the usb to that isn't a trace, because that's near impossible. I'm a noob. I've been trying for hrs. I feel like i f'ed up badly.

There are no other places where you can connect. The traces you need to scratch are here:

Watch how Nold scratches the trace and holds the wires down on a Wii here:

Alright thx man. I eyeballed it, that's why the traces came out pretty whack I'mma redo it like so. Thx again for the help, I'm new to this, but I've been wanting to make one since forever.

Whenever you are scratching traces always start as far away from the GPU as possible, so if you do mess it up like you have you can just move down a little further until you get it right.

If you only require a single USB port you can also jump over to those lower traces and try from there.

I'm completely stumped now. The black and red P+ and P- (in the picture below)go to where the yellow ps2 power port was, right?

No, you need a power management unit. Battery voltages don't stay solid, they rise and fall depending on their charge. Those batteries fully charged will put out around 8.4v and as they drain they they'll drop to around 6.8v or lower.

I haven't trimmed a PS2 before but I'd dare say that after trimming you'll need multiple regulators with multiple voltages.

There's a 2s BMS (power management system) attached to them. I have them in 2s2p, and the ps2's motherboard is the standard trim, so i don't need custom regulators, i just don't know where on the board to solder the battery pack too

If you want to make a PS2 portable and be able to charge it, it's best not to put the ON/OFF switch there, since it will disconnect the battery from the whole device entirely.
And the battery pack needs to be connected here:

You need to read the guide to understand more about it.

I hooked it up there and it turn on booted then started sparking. Turns out my cat pissed on the motherboard xD I have to buy a new motherboard now

Hello guys, I need help with the controls, I would like to use the controls in the case and not just put everything in one case, is there any board that can help with this or some way to cut without stopping working? and taking advantage of the batteries, if I put the batteries as it would be then to turn the console on and off?

Hey @leonardo, you need to make a new thread to ask a question. You can ask your questions there instead of using this older thread. You may want to read the rules briefly just to understand how the forum works.

I'm curious as to what the PS mobo is, I've never heard of it before.I know of the slim and the fat one (which noone uses for some reaason idk y) but not the mobo. What is the Mobo exactly??

You need the 79001 motherboard, since it is the smallest. It comes from a silver ps2 slim. Those have the smallest mobo, which are used for portablizing. You could use another motherboard, if you want a huge size portable. I'm not sure about the fat mobo either. Just use the motherboard from the 79001 model.
