Boy does that ever take me back!!! Excellent work!!

How are you going to weld the heat pipes? would solder be enough?

Excellent work!! Composite video really doesn't hold up anymore

Man you're gonna have to make your own compendium for the 9000x version!! How are your hands BTW? When I started doing the 79001 back in the day I got awful blisters from the sanding

CLAUDIO doing the work!! Excellent work, are you planning to try to reveal the sub layers?

Thanks for the advice!! I even know a photographer with a dark room, so it should be relatively easy to do, will even save me a few fractions of a millimeter lol

Hey hey all!! Here's a question: Does anyone know where one might get a thin sheet of double sided tape (probably 0.5 to 1mm) cut to a particular shape? I need to attach a glass touchscreen digitizer to an LCD you see

For reflow you can just heat it to between 233 and 250 degrees Celsius, most will just do 240 degrees

My suggestion would be putting it in the oven to get the whole thing up to temp

This guy!!! I fully endorse the emulation approach, and I find it EXTREMELY clever to use an existing small form factor device with a very powerful chip on it. Super good!!! And yes you will very likely need to design something for the heatsink. I've been trying to find a fabricator for such a...

Dude that's a brilliant idea!!

Well let me put it this way, I'm actually pursuing a similar route with my device, and this is the compute module I'm using: https://www.wdlsystems.com/Kontron-COMe-cVR6-AMD-V1807B-CPU-COMe-Compact-Type-6-8GB-RAM It has about the same power as a mid tier gaming laptop, and yes, it CAN handle...

Sorry dude but the Pi just isn't capable of that level of processing throughput, but either way the PS2+ is a controller replacement for the PS2 that seeks to remove the incredible pain in the A, that internally wiring a Dual shock 2 can be. It probably wouldn't even be compatible with the Pi...

Well gosh darn it if talking to you about this hasn't given me the bug lol, here is, for anyone who wishes to use it, a Flat Flex PCB that can be ordered from OSH Park to make the VGA mod less like spaghetti: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/zM3fq1nE You just place it over the footprint of...

Well I can certainly understand your drive. I too decided to learn all the skills of the trade on a PS2 portable project, and it led me down a rabbit hole of disciplines, eventually I was able to solder as well as @Gman does now (he's actually someone you should talk to, he's developed a lot of...

I would advise against using that screen, as you have no idea how big the driver board is, and with the composite input, the image quality is going to be scheisse. You should look into any of the screens marketed toward single board computers like the Raspberry Pi, they'll have far better...

The standard cut runs through the LAN port, but if you'd like to keep it intact, or at least keep the pad holes intact, you can just modify the cut to go around it. You may need to reroute the 5 volts it uses, but that's easy to do, you just need to run a wire.

Well Dang!!! PS2 development is innovative these days, that's great to hear!! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

OKAY!!! Lets see if I can do this in numerical order: 1) The screen resolution you've selected is a little unusual, but should work, do you have a particular model in mind? 2) Batteries designated 18650 are just a cylindrical version of a lithium polymer (lipo) battery, the alternative being a...

Nice, I had that happen once after a mod chip install, and the worst part was it wasn't even my PS2 lol
