It's not completed yet, you're missing the SD card!!! Jokes aside, fantastic work! Definitely would love to do something like this but for Nintendo consoles, would make fantastic wall art haha

Nice work! Would love to see a 3D printed redesign, as I do like the overall shape of it. But of course the homemade vibe is always a welcome one! :D

One option could be to first back up your existing NAND image & NAND keys and then use ohneschwanzenegger to create a new NTSC-U nand image. From my understanding NTSC-J & NTSC-U Wiis are identical minus software changes. This might be an easier approach than trying to convert your existing nand...

Should rename this thread from "Some PS2 Project" to "*THE* PS2 Project", as that's currently the state of things! Incredible work, can't wait to see what comes of this. Next thing to look at would be to see how doable mounting the EE on the other side of the board would be. That would...

The color is Pantone 7673C, so if you can find a paint online that has that color, great, if not, a local paint shop can mix the color for you usually. If you do end up going with the paint route, make sure to use 2K clear coat after, or else the paint will get very quickly destroyed by your...

Ideally you want to use either RVL-PMS-Lite or RVL-PSU, as these are much more efficient designs than hand wired PTH regs or other solutions. RVL-PMS-Lite can be purchased from 4Layer Technologies (comprised of Gman, Shank, and Aurelio). RVL-PSU is open source design, and the parts for that can...

Yooooo super excited to see where this goes, as your Saturn work is legendary!

I swear this has to be the cleanest G-Boy I've ever seen. Incredible work! As for your comment on injection molding, it definitely can be done but one would have to fund it through Kickstarter or something for it to actually make sense. I feel G-Boy has that potential to succeed as a...

A better device for just testing if your trim works would be a RVL-PSU. CrazyGadget sells them assembled or you can order all the parts and assemble it yourself. Should be cheaper than PMS-Lite and more reliable than PTHs. It's good to have one on hand for easily testing trims w/o needing a...

Roughly equal. Pinecil edges it out imo because of the tips, which integrate the heater into the tip - heats up quicker and can hold its temperature better, but I believe the FX-888D can do more power to the handle. I'd go with the pinecil personally.

Pinecil wins when considering price to performance. Both are great irons though, and you'll be quite happy with them either way.

I'd advise you to tackle something easier as a beginner project. I usually recommend someone to learn how to solder first, as that is definitely a very importance skill to master. Get yourself a good soldering iron (Pinecil comes highly recommended as a cheap but high quality option, can be...

Not to speak for Gman or anything, but hardly anyone has kits leftover, as most just built their G-Boys as soon as they got them lmfao Your best bet is to part it out & build it yourself using the updated design linked above, since that's really the only way one could realistically build a G-Boy...

Same here, I think this is one of the first portables I ever saw back when I was first getting into electronics. What a blast from the past! :D

Looks like you typed your response in the quote, had me confused for a second! Lol Anyway, to elaborate, these HDMI adapter boards convert the *analog* video signal thats normally output through the video out jack on the back of the console to HDMI. These usually come with some latency and...

Nice ideas here! I'm wondering if you'll be working to retain analog outputs as well with this? I think its good to have options. Would be nice to have a PS2 setup that can be used for capture + output to a CRT or something! Also, side note unrelated to this, could be worth looking into a...

Definitely was. Someone did manage to relocate the power button by trimming it off the board, but you can also just use a taller normal tact switch per Wesk's recommendation. (https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/ps2-ultra-slim.5077/post-57761)

I clearly did answer all your questions, if you actually read my answer you'd understand this. Regardless I will elaborate, you cannot modify the case to fit other models. With other models of PS2 Slims, the motherboards take up the entire XY footprint of the original shell. There is not a way...

Needs to be removed to fit in the case. You still get one port, but it's not as useful as you'd think since its USB 1.1 speeds. Should also be able to use a hub though.

Nope, 7900x was released in the following regions: 79000 - NTSC-J 79001 - NTSC-U/C 79002 & 79003 - PAL Every other PS2 slim model is incompatible with this project since the 7900x series is the only series of PS2 slims with the small enough motherboard. The 9000x went to a larger board with an...
