Here it be , i'm gonna quote my post from the Benheck forums. Also , it's not letting me post in the retro forums for whatever reason.

Quote

I have completed my PS1P , done for my GCSE product design. The project itself is pretty ghetto in some respects , with a electrical tape trim and excessive hot glue, but regardless of that it is done for my tuesday deadline and i'm glad to see the back of it. Here are some pics:

Front:

Base side and thickness indicator (Picture doesn't do the tape trim justice):

Back , with a nice black PSX disk drive:

Top , with the ports and more tape:

Unfortunately time didn't permit analog controls , I had enough trouble with them as it is without the dualshock. Also , there is no battery , which again seeing as I was doing this to deadline , had already blown most of the fuses and have limited knowledge of the subject decided not to add. The small hole above the screen is where I intend to stick the PS logo.

The screen is badly LED modded , as I broke the backlight yesterday and had to do it , using the wrong resistor. However , when I get it back after it is marked I will rectify this problem. All that matters is that you can see the picture and you can so it's all good.

After all this , i'm glad to see the back of it , it has been way more trouble than it's worth but the satisfaction of completing it somewhat makes up for it. Perhaps next time I do a project i'll make a DVD cupboard like the rest of the class.

Yeah. It looks like you can really make a sucess out of it

. If anything, I was wondering how you were able to split the buttons that far. Did you have to cut the board up or use different contacts? Anyway I'd love to hear on the progress of your project, I've been making plans for a ps2 slim portable that will have everything for one player and the ports for 4

The controllers were a long and gruelling task. First , I cut the parts of the controllers which had the buttons on and scraped the traces. Next , I soldered wires to the trace and the other end to the corresponding trace on the part I cut off. This was hell , took hours to do and didn't work properly.

DON'T DO THIS!

Build your own controller with a PCB and tact switches , its so much easier and the buttons are more responsive. If you're planning on portablizing I recommend you buy Benheck's book and get familiar with his forums, this will help you greatly.

Looks sweet! How much time do you have into this?

seikene · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2008, 07:50:19 PM »

I'm planning on doing this mod but never planned on an internal controller, as I predicted that it would be a pain in the arse, and according to your quote, I'm right XD. Oh one last thing, do you think that you can point out where in the ps1 are the video and audio points? I'm going to use a brick ps1 for now but might think on usnig the slim ps1, just need to find one >L<

We've had a good couple of months into it , but most of that was for written coursework. The only thing I did in school was the case , and in the final week or so convinced my teacher to let me take it home so I could wire the menace.

On the PS1 itself there are 3 pins on the underside of the AV out connector.

you like to tape everything together?...lol

i liek it but do something about the case...looks a bit sloppy

VoX · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2008, 06:16:53 AM »

Make a custom case for that thing and hook up the analogue controls then it will look AWESOME!

DuMaMay · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:16:24 AM »

that looks poorly executed

Large reply , haven't really checked in a while-

DVD screens are notoriously tricky to use , as you have to include all of the innards usually if you do find a working one , and there are few that actually do allow you to input video.

It was due in the next day , and the tape matched. I was already a week over due.

Thanks. The case is custom , I vacuum formed it and bondoed the button holes in from a controller. Analogue controls coming in revision 2.

Then I invite you to make something better. Judging by your posts all you seem to do is criticise other peoples work and be a know-it-all. I'm not saying you have don't have a right to do so , but when you put as much work in as this required you don't take kindly to people saying things like that without backing up their statement at all.

"that looks poorly executed" , yeah thanks , that helpful tip will help me in the future.

There are several tutorials on how to wire up those screens

TW1NKY · « **Reply #21 on:** July 25, 2008, 10:18:17 AM »

That pwns

, but does the Disk spin around in the open? lol. That could be a problem if it gets hit or touched.

redryno1221 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2008, 03:06:38 PM »

the front looks really good...as for the other sides I'd say need alot of work...the cd drive needs a cover and the magical electrical tape looks like crap...

VoX · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2008, 06:10:01 PM »

Yes, The back needs some work done on it, The front looks great though. They free spinning disk looks like a killing device

The front looks very professional but that gets your hopes up then you turn it around and great turns into crap....

Mystike · « **Reply #25 on:** August 07, 2008, 02:03:00 PM »

Wow haven't replied in a while. Thanks for the positive and constructive comments , but for the person who repeatedly said it looks like crap, show me your PS1P and then you can comment. Until then , keep it closed.
