Your case design looks just fine dude! It's worth while to remember that there are only so many ways to design a portable, especially with how many commercially designed devices you can get now. Frankly I think the most minimalist and functional devices look the best. There's something very...

Never seen anyone slice that driver chip before! You should think about de-soldering it though.

Lovely LCD driver board, handles the speakers and everything. Did you give any thought to using a RetroGem for the HDMI? I bet it makes the picture quality nearly perfect. Anyway, are you planning on doing your controller analog sticks in the traditional PlayStation style, or the Xbox...

Lord have mercy!! To think we used to consider the PS2 such a black box, and then you come along and just blow all it's secrets wide open! One wonders how one man can posses such keen insight. Do these BIOS mods you've been working on have the ability to give a 70000 HD boot capability? Someone...

Okay yea... I've definitely been away too long... Who the heck is this @Tschicki, and what the heck does he do if this is how he does his hobbies!? I best look at some of those integrations myself! Looks like we may be on the verge of a renaissance in PS2 modding.

Those alternate footprints for the BIOS chip are very interesting. Are you attempting to use newer chips? sort of like those new Dreamcast BIOS mods?

Plying Trac!! Isn't life just a barrel of monkeys!!! Well we all know this to be true, and we also know that the urge to suddenly resume a project that you didn't even realize you'd stopped working on, (I don't understand it either) hits you like several kilograms of hurled cellulite... After...

Very impressive work! I especially like how you retained the metal over the GPU to help shield it from magnetic fields.

I love your idea for creating a series of carrier boards for the power electronics. I did something like that once. Anyway as for scraping the solder mas from the USB traces, I would refer to the old PSP Undiluted Platinum installations. That mod chip required soldering wires directly to the...

Oh really? Which one?

Have you done any browsing of Texas Instruments devices?

Well you have to use a BMS board, otherwise you run a very real risk of melting your device. But all that aside, what you're looking to construct is a circuit which includes a voltage senseing ic of some kind, which will be able to communicate with, or directly provide a programmable GPIO that...

So you want a battery level indicator that works independently from an off-the-shelf charge/discharge circuit? Also what configuration of batteries do you intend to use? number of cells, and how many series, how many parallel?

This forum is a true delight, because we get to see such beautiful images of meticulous, carefully detailed work, into which a like mind has poured so much care and dedication. Your project is so incredibly ambitious, and it looks like you are quite equal to the challenge. If I may ask...

So... If I'm understanding this... I should be okay as long as I use a MechaCon with the correct date code. Well it's actually funny you should bring this up (and fortunate), because I noticed a few weeks back that the MechaCons in the pictures in the title post, are actually the wrong date...
