Little help

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Little help

Post by Vladakabrent »

Hey all. I'm almost done with my Ps2pod (Portable PS2 (It's not awesome, but it meets my demands)). But, sometimes when I play for a little bit, the screen will get very static-y, but it will edventually return to normal. I don't know, but I think that I might need to get a capaciator. If y'all think I do need a capaciator, would I need to put it on the RGB lines or the C-sync (I used the S-video Y as C-sync) Any help appreciated.

Sounds like you have a weak connection somewhere and that it jiggles loose and then settles back into a good connection. You may want to check your solder points.

Actually, I tried a 220 uF capaciator on the Csync line, and it works like a charm now. I thought it may be a fluke, but I took it back off and it was not working (I guess the only time you might not want something to work) Then put it back on again and it was working. Thanks for the help Indigno, thats what I thought at first. Also, while I'm at it, should I put 200 uF caps on the RGB lines also? Thanks again
