    Question What open source cases/pcbs are there for PS2/PS1 portables?

    I've been working on a PS2 project lately and have been releasing the files for my designs as I go after testing them, starting with the PS2-PSU I released today, or customledmods' "Power PS2". I'll be releasing my memory card flex as soon as I receive and test it as well!

    Release PS2-PSU

    I probably worded that wrong! I meant to say "similar to how customledmods board is used in conjunction with a bms etc." I'll edit that now to avoid confusion!

    Release PS2-PSU

    Upon getting my PS2-PSU board in and being able to test it, I feel confident enough to be able to release the files for those who may want to build one themselves or modify it to their liking. https://github.com/LegendOfRock69/PS2-PSU Please note that this is not a drop-in solution for...

    Question Power Issues on Two Boards

    If it's not the barrel jack being loose which can be a common problem, it's either one of the many fuses on the back of the board as wesk mentioned its possible that it's likely one of the voltage regulators that failed as well and that's something you can't necessarily be sure of unless you...

    Worklog PS2V

    Decent update time! Theres been a few revelations as of late for this project so let's get right into it! As I waited for my PSU boards to come in, I figured I would start trying to iron out the software side of things of this build so I didn't have to deal with it later on but I ran into some...

    Wii not turning on

    Yeah, I would try charging your battery externally if you can. Also if your unsure about your button at the moment, you can always solder a wire to the BTN pad and touch the other end of that wire to ground to turn the pms on. I would of course only do this for testing.

    Wii not turning on

    Again, I know it's sucks but I recommend disconnecting everything, testing, and trying again. It's a pain but that's really the only way your going to narrow down your issue

    Wii not turning on

    Your ground wire is most definitely probably touching the 5v pad. And also this gouge taken out of the ground castellated pad looks a little concerning I know it sucks to disconnect everything but I would desolder everything from the pms and check for shorts between each voltage pad. If...

    Wii not turning on

    I agree with customledmods when saying you should upload better pictures! But also try disconnecting all the voltage wires between the wii and pms. Then test the pms volt pads between ground for shorts. If your not getting any shorts on the pms side of things, try turning it on to see if it's...

    Update time! So this isnt a huge update however I figured I would share what ive been doing lately. Right now I'm sort of at a stand still with some things as I've been trying to have a specific work flow to make sure I'm not getting too ahead of myself and with the Canada Post strike...

    Worklog PS2V

    Update time! This is mainly a FMCB update but I have a few other things to add at the end. FMCB So I've been taking a break with my case design and decided to start looking into the memory card aspect of this build. I wanted to implement some sort of custom board so everything flows nicely...

    Worklog PS2V

    Thank you! As long as I can implement everything cleanly and it works as intended, I wouldn't mind sharing the designs! I'm just doing the 8mb magic gate memcard for now however I'll look into other options when I have the funds to do so! Most of the third party cards I've seen have an epoxy...

    Worklog Original PS2 Controllers and Pressure Sensitivity

    *Crucial Update: So this update is all about resistors. When doing my research into this, I found out that if your using regular tact switches with a DS2, there needs to be resistors in the range of 17k - 27k (from what I've gathered) between every button and it's common (aside from start...

    Model K-Silver JP19 (Forward Insertion) / Adafruit 5628 3D Model

    I've been here for years and never contributed to the model repository so I figured it was my turn. Here is the K-Silver JP19 (Forward Insertion) or the Adafruit 5628 .step model. I tried reaching out to K-Silver to get the 3D Model but got no answer so I made this myself. This is a Switch...

    Worklog Original PS2 Controllers and Pressure Sensitivity

    Pressure sensitivity aside, this post was made to put out some information for noobs or others in general as there's not a lot out there without turning some old stones so to speak, so here's my pinout and notes on specifically the SD731A chip (note that the pinouts for other chips are not the...

    Worklog Original PS2 Controllers and Pressure Sensitivity

    So I'm in the process of designing a PS2 portable (worklog coming soon enough) and I was stuck deliberating which type of controller I wanted to use in it. Upon doing some research I found a few good options: - Original Dualshock 2 - Aftermarket Controllers - PS2+ - Those little boards with the...
