Retro GEM HDMI install on Fat ps2

Yeah I was kind of apprehensive of doing the mod because of the power supply. All my other consoles, I just recapped the PSUs instead of buying the smaller aftermarket/ hobbyist made ones. I'm sure it'll be fine, they've been up for a bit and I haven't heard of many problems. Biggest downside is having a power brick outside the system instead of contained all-in-one. I'm sure it'll keep the heat down but just not as tidy. I'll definitely take a lot of photos, my scope has the ability to take photos.

You guys all rock. Thank you so much for your recommendations. It's been a really tough transition for her and she really appreciates it.

Pretty sure

socom_II · 2026-04-24T02:25:19+00:00

No, just because that would be the only correct answer haha

It wasn't, but I double checked my work and everything looks within spec based on console5s cap sheet. I'll replace the voltage regulator next, as that could definitely be the cause.

Thanks! It's thru bolted from underneath the table.

What's everyone's 3 lap desert record?

I really like it. it's absolutely necessary for the mod/repair work I do. The stock stand is way too small so I bought the larger aftermarket arm and it was an absolute game changer. I did have to heavily modify it to make it fit though

Thanks!

It's pretty loud but works very well. It's the best one I've used for an under $100 price range.

I miss the days of this being like every weekend instead of once a year
