Final couple of questions regarding my psp.

Psy · Post by **Psy** » Sun Dec 19, 2004 7:52 pm

Hi again,

Last two questions for the experts:

1) I have a 4Gamers 5.4 inch 12V screen to use in my PSone, i'm currently using a 7.2V RC battery to power the PSone but obviously this has some problems trying to run the screen as well. Is there anyway I can put another 5V in there to make up the difference in power requirements without having to just get a 12V battery, and will the PSone be able to take 12V without ending up in silicon heaven?

2) I'm currently ripping up a load of old IDE cables to use as wire for soldering certain connections together, there won't be any problems with using this stuff will there?

Oh sod it, I've got one more question actually.

3) Is there a pinout anywhere for the PSone AV multi out and the controller/controller port?

Thanks in advance,

Psy

Thanks for the speedy reply. Guess I'll have to make up a new battery pack then, but will the PSone take 12 volts or will I have to use two seperate battery packs?

IDE wire works, but if you get some wire from radio shack that has one big thread it's much easier to solder.

Yeah, the only bad thing about IDE cable is that its a pain to seperate and strip all those little wires.

although it can be nice to group them for things like the controller

I've got a little diagram of what I think I want to do with this, just need to know if it will work, I can't see why it wouldn't, but some of you genii may tell me different.

Basically I want to attach my 7.2V RC battery in serial with three AA 1.5V batteries, giving a total of 11.7V, with a switch at point "A" to switch between the serial battery setup and the charger for the RC Battery.

with that charger setup, you would also be charging the AAs, which you would not want to do if they shouldn't be (and I'd be careful even then, since they may wear out pretty quickly or other bad things if not properly charged)

If the AA's were removed when the charger was attached would that affect the charging then?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:52 pm

no. Acually, you could possibly make the switch disconnect the AAs so you would only need to take them out to replace them.

Thats what I had in mind actually, so that has answered my question. Thanks muchly, and have a great christmas if I'm not back on here with more problems before then. Love the sig by the way!

which part?

hey, I had to end the war somehow (well, no, I didn't, but I wanted to try Linux's image editor and thought that would be a good way to do it

)

It was actually the binary part I particularly liked, gotta love tech jokes. Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've read any BOFH, better head on down to theregister to check out the latest episodes.

as long as we're on the topic of spongey's sig, what about hexadecimal?[size=0]for those who don't know, 10 in hexadecimal is 16 in decimal

There are only 2 kinds of people in this world, those who understand hexadecimal and those who don't.
Just isn't the same, unless you could get 10(base 10). Then you could have something like:
There are only A kinds of people in this world, those who understand hexadecimal, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't, those who don't and those who don't.
And then it's just stupid.
