I for one cant wait till this hits the shelf. And will be buying one asap for my ps2 project.

I tried one awhile ago but lost a solder tab so hopefully its a lot smaller and easier to work with inside.

unfortunately i cant get a sansa as they arent released in Australia and i dont want to purchase it from overseas as it would not have a warranty.

I tend to be leaning more towards ipod as the range of accessories is much larger than others...

Does anyone have a zen micro? whats it like?

Does ...

My favorite will always be Evangelion, Shattered my mind all those years ago.

Recent good series if you wanna check it out would be The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which i loved, but recently awaiting each episode of Welcome to the N.H.K Which brings to mind Genshiken as well.

Too many good ...

Congrats!

Frustration of breaking parts in portable modding is a horrible thing, starving for your art is a phrase that comes to mind.

Will look forward to the update, lotsa pics would be nice too

Well im going to scream....

Upon removing the second little connector, it decided to take along 2 nice copper pieces with it, meaning i have two leads i cannot solder back to the board...

I have found the traces and may be able to salvage this and leave it as a bone stock normal ps2 (if i cant i ...

Nice and easy guys to deal with too, im tempted to get a second one and have some way to replace ...

Wow...

now i know why no1 else aside from ben has done a east-west configuration ps2, As relocating those connectors is HARD!

I was thinking i could relocate both connectors in 3hrs or so, its taken that just to get this far!

Popped open the case and taken all junk off the logic board, very ...

Well powered up and playing FFX and watching about 10mins of a dvd and a PS2 demo disc it has been powered for just under 2 hours, which im pretty happy about.

Im hoping the led mod will allow a extra 30mins or so.

Tommorow i shall tackle the relocation of the dvd motor cable and dvd position ...

Hi Guys,

Well its come, i have been a member for ages, but barely posted, instead reading every little scrap i could on the forums, and waiting every few months for ben to release a new portable.

I did attempt a gamecube build, but got thrown off due to battery concerns. But now that ps2 prices ...

Thanks peoples,

This is comforting news, no regs so hopefully long battery life, (well as long as 5400mah will provide)

Thanks again, hope to report some ps2 portalisation soon

Hi All,

I have searched and searched, but see rather vague numbers thrown up as to how much voltage the PSone screen can take, if you follow Bens guide to his PS2 build it looks as tho he has just put the PS2 and the PSone screen straight off 9 volts.

Does anyone here run their PSone screen off ...

*o* wrote:thats portable but not a portable as its still stock, its not battery powered and it doesnt have built in controls

I Highly doubt that bens will be battery powered and have controls built in.

Oooooh! portable xbox 360!


Well its portable....

Portable Xbox360!

I guess Bens will be the same idea.... just less ummm gay?

The idea is there, but the skills are not.

But saying that, it does what its supposed to do.

My guess is bens will be watercooled, (either that or he has his own ...

Congratulations turbotax!

you have a amazing gamecube portable!

I started on my GCp but came to the conclusion that unless you had cash to spare for li-polys it would be impossible to run on nicads or NiMH's so i lost interest after i got rid off all lower connectors on mb and rewired the voltage ...

Here is a guide to running a mac mini on li poly batteries, in place of the cdrw/dvd pretty amazing stuff, my only worry would be about heat!

Well i thought it might actualy stir up some interest in it, or maybe even a pc based itx project.

Nearly two hours is impressive, but it is running debian ...
