    Worklog PCSX2 Device

    Why yes Lightning, yes it is! Anyway, now that I finally have that answer, I can continue this project!! Does anyone else suffer from project ADD?? One of these days I may actually finish one, but I have to say, the advent of language models has really accelerated the process.. So mush so that...

    Worklog PS2IO - A new loading method based on old knowledge

    Yes I have abandoned this idea. Perhaps I should ask the mods to delete it.. But anyway, I'm fairly certain that this idea would require a BIOS modification, which is now technically possible, so I'm not prepared to say that the whole idea won't work, but I've moved onto other things since the...

    YET ANOTHER person seeking guidance for ps2 portable and modding in general

    Well sir, that's a pretty big question. Considering how much information on the topic is contained in one form or another on this forum alone. My suggestion would be that you begin your project, and come back to post more specific questions about the process as you come up against them. Truly we...

    Worklog Some PS2 Project

    You sir, have single handedly advanced PS2 modding by centuries... And the fact that this is what you consider a fun little side project... One begins to wonder just what you would consider a legitimate challenge! Since you keep saying that your current design is just a prototype, can we assume...

    Worklog Some PS2 Project

    Hey! Welcome back! So I guess the idea of using a left brain/right brain on the controller isn't that weird after all! Yea sure, you could call it overkill, but I prefer to think of it as thoroughness. Kind of brings to mind the left brain, right brain piloting system from Pacific Rim. It...

    is a PSP with arc custom firmware a solid emulation handheld?

    Well you would have loved the hayday of the PSP hacking scene back in the early 2000s. Gpsp kai was one of the best things to come out of it.

    is a PSP with arc custom firmware a solid emulation handheld?

    So what was your question exactly? Sounds like you already had your mind made up.

    is a PSP with arc custom firmware a solid emulation handheld?

    Most of those would probably be alright, though I can see N64 having issues. You are right about the screen though, very good scaling. I really really would recommend you use a Vita for this. You'll have the benefit of slightly newer hardware, more capable processor, better screen resolution...

    is a PSP with arc custom firmware a solid emulation handheld?

    Depends on what you want to play. Truthfully the PSP isn't very powerful, it does a good job, but it's design was very specific. What sorts of systems are you trying to emulate, and what is it about a PSP that makes you want to use one? For context I use a modded PS Vita for playing PS1 games...

    Ahh shoot! Well that's too bad, but as usual necessity is the mother of invention, and you seem to have come up with a pretty innovative solution! Did you ever end up finding out the voltage for those JoyCon sticks?

    I had a very similar issue with substrate warping on the EE+GS chips I've bought. They said it was from baking the chips before shipping to remove moisture. The company was actually good enough to give me a refund (it was Kynix), but I had to argue with them for a few days lol. Either way, this...

    Question VGA image error ZJ050NA 08C

    That's a bummer. Sorry I wasn't able to help. Only thing I can suggest is trying to use C-Sync to get the H and V signals. A guy who called himself Ashen on the old ModRetro forum did it like that years ago.
