At least it's cheap to buy replacement shell parts so there's a bit of give with the back of the unit there (consider the front sacred after all the work you've done!). It's a real shame we can't wire the screens straight in like you sometimes can with the Raspberry Pi. I did end up moving my...

How many screw-posts have you managed to keep in your present design? The best I could do was five, with the board occupying the better part of the pads interior. I did peck a hole through the board to drop another one through but it didn't really turn out to be feasible.

I live in New Zealand and it was a task to find a good one (anyone want photos of the rusted ones I ended up with?) I got into the habit of asking friends, joining groups on FaceBook and hitting up any place I could. I am sitting on a 79002 that seems to be in reasonable condition - it's yours...

The Wii U case is fantastic isn't it! Could do with just a little more room on the inside (7mm would be fantastic!). I'll be interested to see what you do with the rest of it and perhaps adjust the design of my PS2p

Ok so it turns out that the PS2 female power connection IS switching! That just really changed and simplified my power solution!

I don't know if my own thread is the correct place to ask this, but does anyone know what the dimensions for the PS2 barrel jack male & female are? I'm working on a power solution and are tossing up between finding a solution here, or cutting up the PS2 PSU and just dropping a new connection on...

Man I love that design! It's like everything we hoped the future would become back in the 80s! And that size - the size is incredible!

Holy crap that's small! I've actually finished my little project, but oddly enough since starting this thread have had people asking me about controllers lol - if anything I'm loving seeing posts like this roll in as they're not all made equal!

Ok - got some more photos as I've finally finished up the main handheld (the battery charging circuits just arrived also, so that'll be next). So I had some leftover "speaker cover metal stuff". I'm sure it's got a name, but I don't know what it was, I just figured it'd look cool filling in the...

I might actually use the 3D printer to make something for the external battery case which I'm planning to mount on the back of it - but am still waiting on the smart chargers. I don't think that'd defeat the idea as the PS2 is for the better part inside the Wii U?

Glad you got it sorted so quickly! I always like a happy ending :D

It looks like you might have wired speakers to the grounds there - a very easy mistake. Even though I've made three now I still keep the pinout handy. Try these highlighted points :) Also: I was unaware that the ethernet had 3.7V so easy accessable! That would have saved me some creative wiring...

Agreed - I had been thinking about them for a while before grabbing them and doing all of the terribly fiddly stuff of pulling the unit apart and installing them. I have cut up a bit of "speaker grill" and made some hole covers for the bottom of the unit which looks suitably cool although...

I'm awaiting a smart charging board to arrive for the batteries so that's delaying things, but at the moment I'm putting strategic little bits of "speaker cover metal" around the large holes in the bottom (photo later) but I sincerly want to get this project finished soon as it's starting to eat...

Thanks! I'm really happy with the outcome and it plays well, the insides were ordered until things started to bind then they got shuffled to fit. Oh - and I have been looking for ways to put the PS2 buttons on it because of course I have! :XD:

Well these light up sticks seemed to be such a good idea. What I couldn't pick from looking at them is the shafts that they push down on go fractionally deeper than the Wii U ones and they're a PITA to operate with. One photo and now I'm pulling them back out. That was fun.

Because I figured I needed some glowing thumbsticks for the ultimate of bling. So far I've been driving them and the home button off of the controller analogue light connections (because...it's there) but would like to know if anyone thinks these tiny LED lights would be a problem. I figured...

Me? We've been chatting through PMs.

That's really tidy work! Frankly I'd call that "art"! I'll be keen to see how this one goes - I'm loving the posts :D

There was a little "Void" sticker on the back of the PS2 that I peeled off also (if that helps). But around my place all sorts of little bits of electronics make good bedfellows hehehehe
