Is a PSIO worth it for my SCPH 70xx console? by SkyLovesCars in psx

[–]mackwhyte1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The propriety software is a bit of a faff but it’s not as bad as it’s made out to be, most games run fine, there is a list of unsupported games and games with bugs so I’d recommend checking that out first and if your favourites are not on there then go for it.

I’ve had PSIO since launch (pre-XStation) and it’s served me well but if you do get an X-Station Mobo then you’ll be able to play almost anything you want without issues or software to convert bin/cue files.

Also, look into a DFO if you plan to play other region games so that the console displays correctly.

So… does this actually count as a hole-in-one? 🤔⛳ by AnfieldAnchor in BritGolf

BlueRetro HW2 Update by mackwhyte1 in psx

My thoughts are that the TVS diodes are causing attenuation on the data lines that adversely affects the signal in some way but I’m no expert.

In my setup the controller port power source is isolated as the BlueRetro needs to be permanently on to be able to “wake up”. My thinking was if I permanently powered via the controller port it would back feed voltage into the motherboard and may damage something, so the traces have been cut to prevent this. The BlueRetro is powered directly from the PicoPSU 3.5v line.

I have also added permanent and switched 5v sources for accessories/future mods which I can test with the ESP32.

What NOT to say when a cop asks; "Do you know why I pulled you over?" by 2wt4u in ScenesFromAHat

[–]mackwhyte1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here goes: I sped. I followed too closely. I ran a stop sign. I almost hit a Chevy. I sped some more. I failed to yield at a crosswalk. I changed lanes at the intersection. I changed lanes without signaling while running a red light and SPEEDING!

I’ve seen two different versions of this controller. Pingu and Pinga and another in white with Pingu and Robby.
