You guys are Awesome thank you for the sweet replies and the loads of good info I will definitely get the portable together first and then worry about a case later that's actually how I was going to start in the First place with that 79001 In my previous post anyway ben heck is a legend and fusion 360 is definitely a great program to start with we also have a website like polycase on our side so that can definitely be a good place to look as well so the main question and the main Focus as stitches said that everything else is pretty much mapped out....but (power) how would we go about wiring up that In a 77001? Same as the 79001 or different of course as I do have a good couple of ps2 slims of different models including 9 79001 motherboards before I even mess with my 79001s the first step was to use a larger common motherboard just for the taste of what is like to build a ps2 portable as to do this project you have to love the console enough in wich I do it is my childhood and it is my Favorite console plus the vast library including all of the Japanese imports I mean I can go on and on as all of us probably can but anyway back to the main focus (power) now stitches did say that he has seen one running on a 2s Bms so does the bms wire directly to the board? or will I need to acquire a battery protection circuit also I heard that if you were going to use any controller use a 3rd party not an official sony controller maybe the official controller's are a hell of alot harder to wire up work with? in any case I highly appreciate the support and any further replies will be awesome the worklog will begin this weekend with the start as I will have to order neccessary parts for its operation but I want to do a good job on this portable so new users can use it as good reference o ya and why audio amplifiers were do they wire to? Even on a 79001 cant i find any information on the subject unless I'm just not looking in the right places or I'm an idiot and it is included in the ps2 compendium
PS2 controllers aren't advised because they use a ribbon face instead of the typical copper pads third party and other controllers have. Because of the ribbon, you can't cut up the controller.
Also, for your first portable, don't worry about making a good reference to new users. The purpose is to build something and learn and get comfortable. If you want to use a 77001 series, go for it! They're way more common than the 79001 series, and it'd make your portable unique. For powering a 77001 series PS2, I don't think it's possible to
power a 77001 off 7.4V.
Oh yeah, one more thing for charging. Unless your protection circuit has some sort of charging system implemented, you have to either use a special li ion charger or implement a charging module. A regular power source going directly to the BMS protection can be a Taylor polynomial to very bad stuff. I believe that mistake destroyed the batteries in
this portable
