Hi! I was in the process of building my PS2 portable thinking everything was ready so I could finally finish it… only to realize that the module managing my 4×18650 cells isn’t powerful enough. My console consumes, including the screen, amplifier, etc., around 5V ~3A, and it could potentially...

Ah, it works! Yes, indeed… a 1.8V connection was missing. I realized it at the same time I saw your message. Thanks, and sorry, I’m a bit absent-minded hahaha.

I've tried every possible connection point for the AV and still no signal.

Hi, today I did some advanced cutting on a PS2 motherboard. I just tested it, and there's no signal. The main components are getting hot. I tested all the voltages: Yellow: 1.25V Purple: 1.75V Red: 2.5V Green: 3.5V The console draws approximately 1.5 amps when it is on and 0.4 amps when it...

I read somewhere that the issue could come from some faulty resistors.

Hey! In the meantime, I tested YPbPr with a PS2-to-HDMI converter and noticed that there are interferences no matter the length of my signal wires and their shielding. I tried with different TVs and the result is always the same. As for the AV output (connected directly to my CRT TV), I get a...

Hi, I’m currently building my PS2 portable and I’ve run into a problem. Actually, it’s been there for quite a while, but I didn’t really pay much attention to it and just kept working on the project. The issue is that the video signal works, but the colors look washed out — everything has a...

Hi everyone!! I hope you’re doing well. Today, I’d like to present to you my portable PS2 project. It’s been a few months now since I started working on it. I began by installing Fusion 360 — yes, it’s my very first time using 3D modeling software. After finding and listing pretty much all the...

Hi, I’m currently building my portable PS2, and I’m now at the battery stage. The problem is that even after reading the battery-making guide available on this forum, building a battery pack still feels unclear to me. I’m using regulators to power my PS2, along with two 18650 cells (this...

that works !!! really thanks man!

Hi, today I did an advanced cut on a PS2 board. I just tested it, and nothing appears on the screen… The main components are heating up. I tested all the voltages, which are: Yellow: 1.25V Purple: 1.75V Red: 2.5V Green: 3.5V At first, I did a standard cut on the board, and it was still...

Hello, today I am working on the assembly of my portable PS2 and I had a question. Is it possible to reuse the original regulators of my PS2 with the Trim advance? tell me if I'm not clear in what I'm saying

I haven't received my joy con connectors yet so they are not connected.

Hello, I recently started a Wii Gboy. I'm currently wiring/testing the controllers. There is a small problem with this one.... When I press a certain button, the joystick activates!? Example: when I press button (A) both joysticks go down. There are lots of little bugs like this, could someone...

I live in Canada, more precisely in Quebec. It is very cold in winter and summer is pleasant.
