PS2p Worklog {Teamxiyo} Lrg pics

[Teamxiyo]

Okay so the fun begins, this is my first portable, a ps2p (Yes i like a challenge) anyways here the parts I got so far.

Curtis Portable DVD player (Model 8433)
-Video in
-2 headphone jacks
-8" Screen

Ps2 slim (70011)

and a ton of parts from various projects. the pics are taking with my iphone so they are not the best in close shots


anyway after tearing apart the dvd player



i got it running using the ac power adapter :p and the controller wires as you can see running out the bottom left corner of the ps2 are ready and labeled




rofl i need to clean




so here i ran into the first problem, the ps2 did not recognize the memory cards...
heres a pic of the 2 memory sticks im embeding into the console (ps2 and ps1 cards)







Then i figured it might be the wires are too long...so i shrunk the wires down to a cm and IT WORKS!



well thats it for now, trying to tackle an issue if you guys can help me out here it is posted earlier

Looks great so far. Be sure to keep us updated.

Okay so after a bit i began another day of ps2p. Anyway i decided to use the dvd player case as the main case of the portable.





wouldnt you know it, the ps2 slim fits perfectly into the shell






Now time for a little Frankenstein'n







Beauty




Now time for a grille to let some heat out the back. (notice the xbox 360 metal)







well now we have a somewhat view of the thickness of the ps2p, looks a bit bulkier then i hoped, since theirs ps2 board and the lcd board. the second pic shows a smaller screen, this is becasue i though of maybe using the smaller screen and the button would be on the sides.





But how can i say no to this beautiful 8.5" screen



dont mind this crappy concept pick but i have it in my head to work from so i didnt need one, but for the folks here ive poster a cheesy picture of what it should look like



well thats all the updates for now, im at the point where im really lazy to go further becuase i hate even thinking of how to stretch out the ps2 controller on this beast. once i get past that ill keep working and keep you all posted.

This looks quite promising! Very nice job.

Looks great.

Just don't forget batteries. They always take up the most room

[Teamxiyo]

well right now im kinda stuck with the whole battery/ac power. Im thinking 8 3000mah AA batteries, the dvd player requires about 1amp and ps2 2 amps so i might get about an hour runtime which is fine. If anyone has any suggestions please add. And im staying away from the lithiums for this project.
