I did send xck a PM and apparently postage is shut down over Chinese New Year (understandable) and I'm still waiting to hear back from him myself :)

Your images didn't post :( Now if you are after a controller and aren't afraid of doing some soldering and don't mind a wait, head over to the ModRetro Forums and talk to a member there called RDC - he makes minimised PS2 control boards. On the forums here there were a couple of members...

Ok, I'm not a good communicator and am forever worried that I sound like I'm talking down to someone, but I've been here and this was my issue: I hadn't wired the batteries up in pairs to the correct terminals. Here's a helpful diagram on how to wire up four batteries:

I've got those exact ones from that trader. Now pertaining to "are they safe?" I'd be disinclined to put a chisel through them whilst indoors, but they should do you just fine.

No, use a Free McBoot memory card - those things have a lot of incredible functions for $20NZD. Have a pick through a few more online guides and even watch some of the videos people have made about making a portable PS2 - they really help to fill in odd-ball little questions like this (that you...

I've only searched quickly, but this looks like your board here - now, be judicious and totally sure that this is correct before you start cutting things up! https://othermod.com/modify-your-composite-lcd-to-work-at-5v/

Any of those 18650 holders will work - personally I like buying single ones and gluing them into different shapes that fit snugly around my projects :) And I agree with Dominatory - removing the drive shouldn't have damaged the unit. I will note that many PS2s are getting old at this stage and...

Don't splurge money on a new one until you're sure the old one is dead. Actually, who am I kidding, you'll make another one after this because we all do! For the batteries: Beware of false advertising as it happens a lot. About the max mAh you can get in an 18650 is 3500, and GMan has a good...

Yes it is affected if it's charging, and sorry to confuse you! I'm really a terrible communicator.

Snap! That's a new one on me! Does the TV work with any other input? You might have to wait for someone smarter than myself here sorry (or that little backing monitor to cross-check). I seriously doubt you've broken anything, so that's the good news :) Sorry about that dude!

I took it from the ports going into the redboard, but you might be happy with the ports going out - potentially more a matter of preference :)

First up: Don't panic! Troubleshooting is a developed skill ;) It helps if you can cross-test things (with a TV, or DVD player, or speakers). From what you've described I'd focus on your video wiring and soldering - this is one of those "isolate what it can't be to find out what it is" problems...

Those are really nice little fans! As a quick answer: Some fans will happily run backwards if you reverse polarity, but others won't. To save boring you with technical reasons the safe bet is to just jury rig something to try it :) Pertaining to your wiring: For linking up to the charging board...

Good luck! :)

Google is often your friend, but in this case read the trimming guide by GMan under the guides section of this forum as it really is superb and covers the AV pins for linking everything up. Try to work progressively, so don't desolder or trim everything at once if this is your first one as it's...

Stick with the 18650 for the vape, you don't really need anything bigger than that lol For the portable, they're a bit bigger than the 18650 but come with more capacity (mAh) as a result. This is the balancing act point where you've sort of got to figure out how heavy you want the unit vs. how...

I'm not a very graceful portablizer by any means, and if I make another one would like to take the time to be super-attentive and make something that's "beautiful on the inside" too. Where I'm going with this is that I've found pretty much anything goes as long as it can supply enough power...

Trademe? You must be a Kiwi also :D For the 5V mod, the first thing is to try running the screen on 5V - some of them just work. The other way is based off of a common design trait that most little screens use 5V and have a converter down from 12V. As difficult as this might be - this is the...

Hot damn that craftsmanship is just too good! Someone please tell me that we can pay to get injection mould copies of this somehow!

I second Madmoras question :D That's exceptional work! Colour me interested in the way you made the case, the screen you used, the control board, the...well the entire thing is exceptional!!!
