Update time! Before we get into the progress updates, lemme outline some changes to the original preliminary features: 1. Motherboard Revision: PU-18 is great, however I've decided to go with PU-23 instead. There's one big reason for this: it is tiny. Sony decided to consolidate a lot of the...

I suspect that this modchip might have been an early attempt at circumventing modchip detection schemes that some games started including at the time. It just screams over-engineered in that regard lol As for removal, you should be able to without issue, but it's possible that the laser may be...

Time to throw my hat in the ring! We've been making a ton of advancements in PS1 portablizing lately, and I'm hoping to make some further advancements to push the console further than it has before. Preliminary features are as follows: PU-18 revision trim Either a Yveltal/tzmwx style board...

I think its very much a case-by-case type of deal - plus HASL contacts will probably wear down quicker over time, so its probably not a bad idea to get them done in ENIG regardless. Thankfully OSHPark & DKRed offer free ENIG on 2 layer boards, so that could be an option. Carbon button contacts...

Yeaaah that could be your issue, not much to do other than reorder from my understanding, unless you got a way to gold plate PCBs at home? :XD:

Did you order your PCBs in ENIG plating? HASL isn't reliable for button contacts and can have issues.

Heh, I see my partially unpopulated one floating around there! >:D Super excited to give these a shot!

Please don't finish this in time, we won't be able to compete :( Jokes aside, excited to see what you come up with! The OG Xbox is more trimmable that one would initially expect seems like!

Now this is a Crazy Gadget.

I have a good feeling about this one folks! Good luck to all who decide to participate!

The screen linked seems identical to the wisecoco listing, so this should be compatible. You'll just need to remove the capacitive touch layer from the screen or try to buy one without it.

Black GCC aesthetic - I have some really nice paints that I want to try. Feel free to ping me on the Discord server if you want sample pics!

I'll be doing a painted G-Boy build myself! Super excited to see more custom G-Boys floating around!

Worst case scenario if you're using PMS2 or Lite is you can use its U10 emulation, not the end of the world!

Finally, a worklog, despite this being done for almost 2 months now lol Hello everyone! Despite me being in this community for a while now, I have yet to make a worklog or cutting edge post for any of my projects yet. That changes today! Since the build is already completed, this is to be...

I need a video of that if you do end up doing that! :XD: Maybe try throwing Picoboot in there and see if you get anywhere, can't hurt.

Worst case scenario would be to install Picoboot, as this will "bypass" the GC IPL either way and should get you around this error from my understanding. If you can't ever get the disc drive working again, this would at least let you use the thing until you decide to replace it!

CrazyGadget and I have had good success with SanDisk's Ultra Fit drives - I haven't tried it with PD-2 personally but it should definitely work. The little keychain loop might need to be trimmed off to fit in some situations. EDIT: I almost forgot to mention - I *have* had issues getting these...
