This looks awesome, recreating the PCB of a scph-7000x (GS+EE variant) to have HDD loading. It definitely not an easy task, can't wait to see the result.

This is truly impressive, great job on recreating the PS2 PCB! I’m wondering if bringing back the HDD chip that are present in the 7000x series would be an option. The 7000x series use a CXD9731AGP chip for this but not sure if it is possible as the 7900x series as merged quite a few chip...

So it's finally time to post this project in this section I believe. It's been quite a while since I started this project and it kind of evolve over the years. From thinking of using DVD drive all the way back in 2013 to looking into obscure hard drive setup for the slim, experimenting with...

Lol literally, didn't really thinking about it when I put it on for testing but it looked like a pretty good match at the end. It's called Shin megami tensei Lucifer's call in PAL region and Shin megami tensei Nocturne in the US. I pick it up a few month ago and really enjoyed the story and...

Actually, before calling it done there was a bit of fine tuning I though would be better to do. First thing was the fan, which was solder on the 3.3v line. This wasn’t really enough to cool down the board in my opinion. After a good 15min the case started to feel really warm so I solder the 5v...

No problemo, I though I mentioned it just in case. No one wants to spend hours on troubleshooting for no reason:D

Looking good, you could try to connect the composite lines which can be a base point to figure out what's wrong. Also if you are going to use the SMB way it looks like the traces for the 2 ethernet points on the edge of the board have been cut but it should be pretty easy to follow them to...

The PIS2 is finally completed!

Thanks mate, yes it make sense. In this current setup I wired the same data lines, 1/3 and 4/6 from the PI2 to the transformer board and to the PS2 points. I added 1 more wire from pin 2 on the transformer board to the PS2 board which must be that 3.3v pin. I've also removed the caps as they are...

@MRKane Thanks mate for the kind words, for sure that’s a bit disheartening when you are so close. Sometime just taking a small break helps to comeback with a clearer mindset, at least that’s what has been working for me. So on my side I had a fairly packed modding weekend, pretty much from...

This looks stunning! Amazing work as always.

So last weekend I manage to get some time to try finish this thing, which took a bit of negotiation with my partner. So ended up spending around 8 hours work across the remaining section of the Portable. I made a basic prototype board to manage the different voltages from the charge/play ports...

Hey man, welcome back! I've been also thinking about getting on the 3D printer bandwagon. Looking forward to get your impression on the Ender 3 and progress on your project.

Yeah nice, so I guess the logo must be running pretty deep in the case. Looking forward to see the final result :D

That case looks sexy and the logo is really cool. Are you planning on sanding the top of the case too after you have the final print or leaving it as is? Also what type of joystick are you using?
