This is beautiful. Amazing job man, the case really turned out great!

Wow, you really got this thing super tiny. Love the further research you have shared with us!

Wasn't planning on entering until I stumbled across something (which you will find out later) that gave me the idea and motivation for this project to enter. I plan on having all the bells and whistles that one would expect in 2023. Just started this yesterday, not much to show yet but more...

I've never used a 7" screen for anything, so I can't recommend anything off personal experience but I'm sure you're aware there are many options out there. Here is an example of one I found with a quick search that seems to have good reviews with a VGA input option...

That's not IPS and the boards you linked are not for the video input he's asking for, which is AV/VGA. It has been recommended in the forums to go with this screen. Expensive but that's what you get if you want a quality product...

Thank you for the response. I actually just swapped a 7900X bios chip to a 9000X board out of curiosity last night and worked just fine. The EE you have seems to have a slight die shrink right? You mentioned previously it was different from any other 9000X board you've seen and seems to draw...

After your post about undervolting, I changed out one resistor in my PS2 portable on my custom reg board to go from 1.25v to 1v and went from 2hr 15 minute battery life from 3.7v 7600mah batteries to now 3 hours and runs substantially cooler to the touch. Incredible! Also, since you have done a...

I'm really digging your professional photography, really takes this worklog to the next level!

Wow, undervolting really saved quite a bit of power there! I wonder if the CPU/GPU run cooler because of this as well. Definitely will be doing this going forward. Thank you for providing some concrete numbers from your test results!

Just fascinating, really nice to see the PS1 get some love these days!

Definitely my favorite one yet! Super clean and that color is so nice.

That's gorgeous, and the color is just icing on the cake!

Yeah software is not my thing either...but I totally understand the nostalgic factor involved with the memory card. I don't use VMC with MX4SIO to be honest, I save them to the FreeMcboot card in slot one. I would imagine you can still pop in that memory card to another PS2 and load saves just...

looking good! Really love this worklog. If I can offer a suggestion, I would take a look at MX4SIO instead of SMB loading. Not sure if it works with 9K PS2 models, but don't see why it wouldn't. It will save you space and power since you can run the games off a Micro SD card wired directly to...

Holy cow man. This is revolutionary. Awesome that there is a CPU chip that runs cooler and consumes slightly less power. I’m also interested in experimenting with that. I noticed the chip that runs cooler has 2008 engraved rather than 2007. Really solid work!

Really digging the color scheme and screen bezel! Looks super profession with your choice of case material and paint. There's a little board for the Gboy floating around here by one of the users, I think @CrazyGadget maybe? I'm not sure if it is open source or not but with it, integrates screen...

Yes that is ground. I guess it squeezed its way in between those traces once I drew the GND plane. Probably does no harm though. I haven’t experimented with changing the RAM resistor you mentioned but might need to look more into that. I just used the standard stack up and settings with JLCPCB...

So close... yet so far... sounds appropriate for this update. Warning, many Wii's were sacrificed for research purposes. More details later. PCBs came in from JLC and as stated previously, I wanted to tackle the biggest hurdle first being the GPU. But sure enough, shorts on all voltage...

Only Shank himself has on these forums. He is the only one.

I've learned quite a bit throughout this process, especially being a new KiCad user. I wanted to challenge myself and oh boy, this was a challenge for a hobbyist. But we are far from done with this journey. I'm just happy to be done with the core of the motherboard which was the biggest hurdle...
