Working on this and my N64 thing at the same time. Figured I'd post something. Need batts for the N64, so this helps kill the time whilst I wait for those.
 
Re: Beginnings.

After wiring the DVD drive up totally wrong and then redoing it this is what I ended up with. Luckily I didn't kill anything. Now that all that's done I can figure out where the rest of the stuff is gonna go and finish up the casework, maybe. :D

Re: Beginnings.

I'm watching. I was hoping for some Compact Flash action, but I'm watching.

I love how very little attention this is getting.
Probably needs a catchier title, something like "MOTHER*Can'tSayThisOnTV*ING ASHEN IS BRINGING HIS GENIUS TO PS2".

I'm very excited for this though.
 
Re: Beginnings.

Well, I'm not after attention anyway. ;P I post all the flax I do regardless if it will get done anytime soon or if anyone cares about it. This should be pretty epic when its done though, as far as PS2 portables go anyway.

Compact flash is out for this motherboard revision Prog, sorry. I'd rather keep the DD than have to deal with an obnoxiously oversized motherboard. Pretty much all revisions of the slim that even work with the HDD mod do it poorly anyway.

I've made the case as small as humanly possible while still being able to accommodate a full sized DVD. Its only very slightly larger than the Revolution was. Lets just hope I can get the batteries I want to fit in this thing. Its likely to end up being a little fatty. 30-35mm is what I'm figuring.

Sorry, I just now figured out how to get around my massive erection so I could reach my keyboard.

Hay ashen,
Nice ps2 portable worklog going on.
Can't wait to see it finished with batteries and all.
I'm almost-ish done with mine, just need to get the controller for my portable and make my battery assembly thing.
Hail razor told me to use an li ion 11.1v and step down that to 8.5v that the ps2 needs to run properly.
The correct voltiage that the ps2 fat/slim needs are 8.5v?

Anyways, I like how your using the slim rev over the fat one, unlike me I'm using the fat rev, no disk drive, boot via softmoded freemc boot memoery card exploit. And load my games from USB flash stick 64gb. I have my worklog on my ps2p.

Also using a dd can make the portable heavier or not depending how the dd is trimmed etc.
USB works much better for weight distribution etc for me.

Also is your screen a DTV? Mine is.
And what cable are you using?
Standard av or VGA?
I can only use standard av as my DTV uses av input jack no component,
It has an HDMI input for ps3 etc, but since the ps2 can't use hdmi.

Also, is USB port 2 used in any way?
I'm thinking of using it for adding a second external fan for cooling the system,
Can it be done?

Yes, opl o.9 is awesome :)
I'm using 0.9.1 actually.
All my games on my USB thumb drive work perfectly :)
I couldn't get five games to boot to the start screen because I had patched them with esr patcher which wouldn't allow them to play in opl.
Removing the patch from these games made them all boot up fine :).

USB flash stick for the win :) forget hdd, too heavy,
I had an hdd with ps2 games on it, but it'll make the portable too heavy and way unbalanced :(.

What? Has he done something incredible yet?

I mean, I'm glad he's taking this on; but really all I see here is continued use of a good case and some attention somewhere that doesn't get much. I'm sure it will be sexy if he doesn't throw it across the room or something, but it seems pretty standard to me right now.

Ashen: Keep doing what your doing. Show what those hands that I got to hold can do. <3 Because of you, I no longer laugh at Nintendo fans. Let's see where else you can change my mind.
