If it's not the barrel jack being loose which can be a common problem, it's either one of the many fuses on the back of the board as wesk mentioned its possible that it's likely one of the voltage regulators that failed as well and that's something you can't necessarily be sure of unless you...

Decent update time! Theres been a few revelations as of late for this project so let's get right into it! As I waited for my PSU boards to come in, I figured I would start trying to iron out the software side of things of this build so I didn't have to deal with it later on but I ran into some...

Yeah, I would try charging your battery externally if you can. Also if your unsure about your button at the moment, you can always solder a wire to the BTN pad and touch the other end of that wire to ground to turn the pms on. I would of course only do this for testing.

Again, I know it's sucks but I recommend disconnecting everything, testing, and trying again. It's a pain but that's really the only way your going to narrow down your issue

Your ground wire is most definitely probably touching the 5v pad. And also this gouge taken out of the ground castellated pad looks a little concerning I know it sucks to disconnect everything but I would desolder everything from the pms and check for shorts between each voltage pad. If...

I agree with customledmods when saying you should upload better pictures! But also try disconnecting all the voltage wires between the wii and pms. Then test the pms volt pads between ground for shorts. If your not getting any shorts on the pms side of things, try turning it on to see if it's...

Update time! So this isnt a huge update however I figured I would share what ive been doing lately. Right now I'm sort of at a stand still with some things as I've been trying to have a specific work flow to make sure I'm not getting too ahead of myself and with the Canada Post strike...

Update time! This is mainly a FMCB update but I have a few other things to add at the end. FMCB So I've been taking a break with my case design and decided to start looking into the memory card aspect of this build. I wanted to implement some sort of custom board so everything flows nicely...

Thank you! As long as I can implement everything cleanly and it works as intended, I wouldn't mind sharing the designs! I'm just doing the 8mb magic gate memcard for now however I'll look into other options when I have the funds to do so! Most of the third party cards I've seen have an epoxy...

Time for me to double post like a degenerate lol. I dont really have much pictures for the rest of my ideas but ill I'd like to get them out there so we'll continue on! Custom Trim: So theres not much to say about this. My trim will pretty much be the advanced trim but trimmed further to the...

So I've been sharing tad bits of this project on the discord and I feel like I have enough done to show you guys so I figured I would make a worklog finally. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: The PS2V I've been sitting on a 79k PS2 for years in hopes of making a portable and finally...

*Crucial Update: So this update is all about resistors. When doing my research into this, I found out that if your using regular tact switches with a DS2, there needs to be resistors in the range of 17k - 27k (from what I've gathered) between every button and it's common (aside from start...

Edit: I just realized that I had messed up and one of the screw posts was extended 0.3mm further than it needed to be so I have uploaded the fixed .step

I've been here for years and never contributed to the model repository so I figured it was my turn. Here is the K-Silver JP19 (Forward Insertion) or the Adafruit 5628 .step model. I tried reaching out to K-Silver to get the 3D Model but got no answer so I made this myself. This is a Switch...

Pressure sensitivity aside, this post was made to put out some information for noobs or others in general as there's not a lot out there without turning some old stones so to speak, so here's my pinout and notes on specifically the SD731A chip (note that the pinouts for other chips are not the...

So I'm in the process of designing a PS2 portable (worklog coming soon enough) and I was stuck deliberating which type of controller I wanted to use in it. Upon doing some research I found a few good options: - Original Dualshock 2 - Aftermarket Controllers - PS2+ - Those little boards with the...

Thank you @YveltalGriffin ! I was hoping somebody would give me an extensive answer as this will be helpful to anybody looking for options in the future!

I've been searching through the forums to find some solid information on what screen to use for a portable PS2 but its been difficult as information is spread out in bits so I figured I'd ask here to get some recommendations from you smart fellas. I know a few issues such as the 15kHz VGA...

Welcome to bitbuilt! I'll try to answer some of your questions As for the Wii U screen, i can't advise on that but I recommend going through the worklogs and reading them as there have been users who have used the Wii U gamepad in their portables, so you should be able to find information...

Don't feel stupid at all! Mistakes and troubleshooting are all part of the process! I'm glad I could provide some insight! And good luck for whenever you can test your trim out!
