Pretty much will be a DC in a PSOne case.
The case will need to be made a bit bigger, and probably thicker.
Anyway, I have it down to 1 1/2 inches thick rich now. I can probably get another 1/8th off of it too by trimming the legs from the gd-rom drive. And yes, the system still runs like this.
The controller port, which isn't pictures will go were the modem port and were the gdrom used to connect.
I'm going to get rid of the old connections on the back, and give it only an svideo and sound hookup. I'll be giving it a new PSU also.
Won't start on the case untill Christmas, as I can't buy a broken PS1 until then.

You just need the case, right? How much will you pay?Grandmasterjimmy wrote:Won't start on the case untill Christmas, as I can't buy a broken PS1 until then.
Nice progress, by the way.

I suppose It'd be better for you to sell it to him, because I haven't actually taken apart my PSone.bacteria wrote:I don't mind selling you a PSone case for the cost of postage plus the PayPal currency converter fee, somewhere around $4-$5 or so (from the UK), payment via PayPal. Let me know if you are interested. I don't need it (from my current project).

I don't have paypal. I have to buy everything with money orders. =\
Also, thought of a cheap idea for the PSU, and it also saves space.
POWER BRICK!
I'm thinking a USB cord would be best. The PSU gives 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. So a USB cord has 4 lines, which leaves 1 line for the ground.
That will save space in the system itself, and be cheaper. I'm kinda cheap =P

Money orders aren't any use to me as I am UK.
Could do a swap though - have you got any SNES games (NTSC fine) surplus? I have a lot of PAL ones and a couple of NTSC ones, if you have a title or two I don't have, we can just pay our own postage to each other and swap. If not, what else would you like to swap for?
Just a thought. PM me if you are interested...

Certainly Mario: Grandmasterjimmy - happy to send you them for free. Not the first time I have sent stuff to fellow modders here after all. Happy to do it if it means you can progress on your portable.
PM me your name and full address, inc zipcode and country and I will send you a PSone case top and bottom as a freebie. I can post it in 3-4 days time when I post some e-bay items out after my latest auction.
Anything else you need, that's light - like d-pad buttons, crosses, 4 of those 6mm tact switches with the caps on (red/black); whatever? Let me know, I might be able to help, depends on what I have spare.

Yea that is a pain.Grandmasterjimmy wrote:Thanks a bunch
The only annoying part of this project is soldering all the wires from the gd rom D:
Using 30 gauge insulated single strand wire makes it easier.
