It's been 3 months now, and I just thought I'd post an update on what's going on. I've decided not to continue with this project, and there's a few reasons why; between college/work (and getting an xperia play), my level of interest/energy to work on this project has vanished. The noobish design...

This project is going to be put on the back-burner (again) for about a month while I seek a job for moniez and all that good stuff. I believe I might've screwed myself out of another board as well: I superglued some of the nubs on the board, but accidentally dropped the board, and thus knocked...

I went ahead and cut all the wires to the board, leaving little nubs that were sticking up (for voltage testing/easy soldering later on). After that, I tested the voltages while the PS2 was on and sitting in the browser, but my meter is a little wacky (the readings were jumping around in the MV...

Preface: this was originally several posts, but I decided to conjoin them into 1. Trying a different card could certainly be a possibility (in fact, I haven't actually checked the LED's to see if the master light came on when inside my comp). As for the formatting, that was done with winhiip...

Been a while since my last post. I've gotten back to working on this project again, and I've got an update on things. First update is I've successfully soldered the CF adapter without breaking my PS2 this time (confirmed this by turning on the PS2 and playing a bit of KH2). The second update is...

Re: PS2 Trimming and DD Replacement Discussion (Best PS2 Mod This might interest you. It's an emulator that runs pretty decently from what I've read (with sound issues in certain games). Just note that ffgrieve built this purely with PAL t.v's in mind, and note the fact that he hasn't posted...

If there are any traces, I can't visibly make them out.

Looks like I goofed up again. I was soldering the resistors on the other night and was gonna finish up the last 2-3 wires when I pretty much destroyed the 2 contact pads for the middle resistor... Nothing but a black mark where they once were - tried scraping away any rosin that might've been on...

Quick update: finally got some time, so I went down to radioshack and got some 10k 5% resistors (1/4 watt); gonna work on getting this done within the next few days and the results (or lack thereof) posted.

Spot on. Measured it off the board (but not before destroying another one in the process) and got a reading of 9.95k. I'm not sure when I'll be picking up another mobo/resistors, so I've taken to working on my case design again. Something's been bugging me for a while now, though; namely the...

Update: Managed to find a picture of the V12's fuse locations, and it doesn't look like my little guys here are one of 'em. ; / Guess I'll pick up another V12 and debo the pieces I need offa that (I guess it's not all that likely you'll find an obscure part like this at your local radioshack...

So I burned one of the things pictured below clean out of existence (all that's left behind is a dark residue and the 2 contact points). I'm guessing that it's a fuse or something, idk really, but can anyone here say whether it's purchasable? I'll probably pick up 3 just because the other two...

I prefer 4chan. Everyone there is an asshole, so I pretty much know what to expect and don't get offended.

I just got an old laptop screen from an HP and I'm wondering how I find out whether it's usable with a PS2? Also got an old, broken HP 7250 printer (one of those white ones) from my sister. Any cool projects that could be done with that?

It's funny because a thread you made with a similar question garnered positive responses, and had thus made me decide to go with JB weld. I'll take your word for it, though. I just need figure out what effect having different length wires will have on data transfer to the CF card as I'm not...
