Hi everyone
This is my first post, so please throw only soft and plushy rocks at me )))
So… I did a thing…
Nothing impressive, if to be honest, it just something that I wanted to do for a while
Here, I post some pictures, if you will be interested, I can make a proper post
Main advantage of this project (if you even call it that) is that you need zero knowledge of electronics to do it
Also it's a prototype, obviously I intend to make a proper case later
Here it goes
It's a portable PS2, here is some characteristics:
This is 7000 series slim, modbo5 is installed, an hdd mod (specifically it uses microSD card at the moment), and you can use usb stick if you want, OPL and all that is there obviously
Screen is iPad3 matrix (with proper OSD), I also added a Bluetooth
li-pol 4s battery, 20Ah combined (in 3.7 cells), supports 65w PD charging, last about 3-6 hours, depends of what you are playing
PSone controller case split in two parts with DS2 guts, console also has a mini port where you can plug 2nd controller through an adapter (don't know why I added it, but here you go)
Changed membrane buttons for tactile switches
I also want to highlight, that I had no intention to make it as small as possible, because for me, personally, 10"-13" screen is necessary for any kind of immersion on a portable device
Also console of this size is comfortable to hold, grip is more natural, because your hands in more natural position, but it's also personal preference
I also made like a Switch "shell" in the past, long ago (3-4 years?), before companies start to produce similar devices, and it held very well!
I completed BOTW on it, and it was perfect, although I used much more modern display there
For this iPad3 display is more appropriate I think, and it's nice and vibrant, so no regrets there
Here is what it looks like
I use it till this day and can't be happier
Maybe I posted in wrong forum, but I'm sure moderators will politely
[shoot me in a head] ask me to move my post in this case)))))
Also I have small question, maybe someone can help me or guide to the right place for solving such problem
so, I accidentally touched one of the controller port pins and shorted it to the ground (or between each other) while ps2 was powered on (don't ask, it's a long and not so interesting story), it turned off, but when I powered it on again, 1st controller port stopped working, 2nd works fine
maybe someone knows exactly what components I should check first, fuses, maybe resistors etc, because they are not so easy traceable, and service manual is hard for me to understand at this point (((
I checked everything I can trace, but with no luck, 8V and 3.5V are ok
thank you very much in advance!
