Best way to test a website for how good the company is, is to send them a pre-sales query (whatever is relevant) saying that when they reply you will buy one. If they reply, great, proceed; if they ignore you before you order they are hardly going to bother replying to you later if you have a problem. This also confirms that the site is being maintained and is live.

For example, ask them if you order one how quickly they will dispatch the item and if it is in stock...

No guarantees, but worth trying. It is up to you who you trade with and any risk, if any.

I would like to know this too. Did you ever order from them?

Well the fact that the GameBoy there has an analog stick and three face buttons is probably a tip-off that it might be a hoax.

Chad... Please look at the date of the post before yours... Stand back in shock... More than a year old.

Anyway, that GBA is funny. I wonder what it is? AFAIK, ps2modchip used to be a good site, but they sold out to some other lame scammer place.

Blimey, that portable I made was a crock of crap, ugly as hell and the electronic buttons were not as responsive as they should have been - too much play. It was my first system project, so fair enough, and I did use it for a while playing Yoshi's Island a fair bit; but my, it shows how my skills have jumped massively in the last year and a half when you compare my work then to my work now!

(I can say that, it was mine after all!). I had only just about got used to a soldering iron when I did that project, although I wasn't that skilled with one then.

No chad78, I didn't buy from them, never did. BTW - nice avatar!!

It's probably something to avoid copy infringement.

thankyou very much for the psone lcd board pinouts, i really needed them for completing my ps1p! cheers to you! also nice bba you got there! I congratulate you on your success. I just need to look through my crap bucket for the speakers and controller for my psone and psone lcd, then replace the dull leds in the screen and make a case and I'm done!

edit: I can't find the speakers, so what should I use?

Mylar speakers are best as they are slim and better quality than regular cone speakers of a similar size.

thanks! I keep an eye out for those speakers! I'll probably make a simple case, another thing is that this is my first portable and bacteria said to start on the nes or something !

I <3 the M3!

Can you tell me how you got the 3:2 aspect ratio in the 4:3 PSOne screen? Is your GBA Transverter set for "WIDEscreen" instead of "FULLscreen" ?

I ask as there is a guy here that has also wired up a GBA Transverter using RGB but he gets the GBA output using the full height of the screen as well as full width (see picture #7, ignore the white bit, that's where his LCD is broken) ;-

...and I wanted to do it your way so I get the correct aspect ratio in GBA and GBC games.

Help!

I still would like to know the answer please.

Cheers,

Alistair G.
