if it works don't touch it cit

Hi guys, it's been a while but it's time to reveal the end of the project: As per the previous preview, I purchased a used 3D printer, and it was the first obstacle I faced with all the calibrations, tests, and issues with the machine. Once I overcame these and after using a few kg of filament...

Hi guys, it's been a while. I'm hard at work on the case and the surrounding components. I'd say I should be able to finish everything by the end of the month at the latest (fingers crossed). A small spoiler photo: The new case will follow the old one in terms of button layout and style, but in...

Hi guys here is my update after about 20 days: Power regulator: The goal was to try to minimize losses (and there are still others but I'd say I'll be satisfied for now): 1V Rail: For the main power rail here is our protagonist, a board of just about 2.20 euros modified so as to be able to...

It's actually a lot of energy, if you want take a look at my worklog I'm just posting a pretty "massive" update for the regulators, I manage to stay between 8W and 9W, if you can do some tests to understand if you can for example use that PMS directly to the batteries so as to leave the 5v rail...

Knowing that the code is written by you is very encouraging as it could be easily adapted or fixed in case of bugs. Yes I would say in addition to the analog one we could, as written, use the 4th analog input of the pico if the ps2 actually detects it as the original dualshock 2 to avoid having...

Just out of curiosity, is it written from scratch or with a santroller-type base? Tested on games like Final Fantasy 12, does it see itself as a DualShock 2? For the analog input, if you can map an external analog multiplexer like a santroller (for example, a 74HC4051), you can easily get all...

Hi guys, another update: I've trimmed the right and top sides of the board, and I'd say I've reached the smallest possible "safe" size (although I've seen that the right side can be completely removed, including the right cdx). The Ethernet transformer has been rotated 180 degrees since...

some "small updates": I took "courage" by trimming the card, fortunately everything was ok! Some small problems with the VGA wiring but fortunately nothing irreparable. wired vga and composite with shielded cables from an old lvds cable + tried some advice but those white dots remain (I...

Hi guys, some updates on the project: I installed a small heatsink by directly soldering two small bushings and screwing it to the motherboard (towards ground). The heatsink can be found for a few euros on aliexpress and is from a Raspberry Pi. then I also installed the a5 on the ps2...

you're welcome I think we're fighting for the same purpose lol, I added some info and a new custom fw if you want take a look.

Hi guys, I wanted to develop a new standard fw to squeeze the most out of this small rt5350, I also successfully experimented with more recent versions of openwrt reaching 21 and 22 but they were too heavy for this cpu. On the contrary, trying older versions like 14 had other problems, the new...

Hi : For the inductors I tried as answered above, unfortunately I did not have positive results, even using directly as indicated by Texas Instruments directly 4 33pf capacitors on the lines Yes, as above, I already use a pth8080 which allows me to power the console even at the limit of 5.5v...

yes it would be an option to use UDPBD but I see that there is only one version of opl if I'm not mistaken? , maybe if I install everything I will make the eeprom accessible so as to facilitate the replacement of the router firmware. The heatsink is already installed; it was a matter of...

Hi guys, after some tests I managed to undervolt the PS2 79001 from 1.25V to 1V as indicated by someone with external regulators + custom trim. For my part, I wanted to stick with the standard controllers to do some tests. It could still be useful for those who want to increase the life of the...
