Hi there, I would recommend Hunting down a SCPH- 7900x model if you can. Not saying it's not possible to do it with a SCPH-9000x but you will not be able to get a square board due to the controller/memory sticking out. Also the 7900x is the model which is the most documented so it's easier to...

And I’m back…again. After only 1 1/2 years of hibernation I couldn’t stand looking at this empty case anymore so I ended up jumping back on this project from last week. I’ve also got a bit more regular times during the weekends now so I should be able to finish it this time, if nothing else...

So I had this idea for a while which was to use the button of a PS3 controller as the main switch for the portable. The cool thing with that button is that it is semi-transparent so you should be a able to see a light through it. For this I got a tack stitch which comes with a LED, cut a small...

Thanks, I had a quick look and it seem that he is using a custom firmware instead of raspbian on his Pi. Raspbian is what I chose to use for my project but you should be able to use any Linux repo that can run Samba and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi, as long as you know how to set it up...

Case Update So after all that sand there was… more sanding. Did a coat of primer which revealed quite a few defects and by digging a bit some of those defect where actual air bubble from the ABS cement. Applied a nice layer of filler to fill those suckers. First coat of paint was not bad...

3. OPL settings 3.1. Plug everything together You are almost there, after doing all those steps you should be ready to connect the PS2 and PI together. As mentioned in the item list this setup works with a normal ethernet cable, the Pi and PS2 will do all the magic so you don’t need to use a...

2. Raspberry PI 2.1. Setting up your PI 2.1.1. Cool, now that you have setup you USB drive just plug it into the PI and using you ethernet cable plug into your Modem so that you have access to internet. For this setup you will need to install Raspbian which is the default OS for Pi’s. The...

While playing with this setup I was taking some notes an though compiling this into a step by step guide would benefit the community more than sitting on my laptop so after a bit of effort there it is. This guide will help you setting up a Raspberry Pi to stream games to a PS2. The point of...

hmm, sounds familiar... already reply to something like this in another forum Update So for the last few weeks I have been busy filling/sanding which isn’t the most passionating part of the project but needed to be done. In that time I also received a PS2 79001 model(NTSC) which I order a...

Thanks, but I meant in the upper 200~300 like this Lilliput screen. Those would take YPbPr and HDMI but are just over priced for what you get. On my side I would also avoid going above 6" for screens as I fell it just become too big and would also try to keep a 4 : 3 ratio which is usually...

Got one a few days ago;) Was feed up of seeing that fuzzy menu and hit a road block with GSM, just couldn't save the config. Could be due to using the MC in slot 2 but not quite sure. Which screen are you using? small LCD that take component natively are usually quite hard to find or are really...

So I had another go at setting up VGA. When I played with that 4 years ago I already had a trimmed PS2 and had a few think setup on it and for some reason it just didn’t want to work. I went back to my 5.6” Dalian Good display screen which was still connected to the LMH1251 board and desolder...

Thanks for the offer @ModU but for this project I need to stick with frankencasing as the case is around 80% completed. Still need to go through a few sanding/filling phases, making the port holes, priming then if it looks good painting it and sealing it.

Also, just sharing some info about the controller board I’m using. It’s from a third party controller called “Genius maxfire blaze”. I got it a while back and was pleasantly surprise to see the board was quite small. The gamepad look like this And it’s made of 2 boards, the big one is only...

@Kickback Thanks dude, It's quite time consuming but got good result with frankencasing so far and couldn't let this case to go to waste. Finally manage to get some solid time over the weekend to work on my portable. So let’s get straight to the update. Screen board To slim down the board I...
