PS1 Case project - HeadShot - 03-29-2016 My plan is to use an old PS1 case and controllers with the Pine64+. It will be used as a PC and an game emulator. I've gutted the case except for the power supply and the the input slot for memory and controllers. The PS has an 8v line I've attached to a DC-DC step down 5V. The nice thing about this is I can still use the actual power button and rest. I've added a pig tail added for LAN port. Waiting on HDMI pigtail from ebay. Siimple USB hub is being used to attach external storage. Paper printout is standing in for Pine unit. The front ports for the PS1/PS2 controllers will run through a USB adapter. I hope this works, as I have no way of testing it. I'm also working on converting the standard PS1 memory modual into a USB SD card reader. While still plugging into the front of the PS1. I used an old ISA card edge modem instead of destroying the existing memory card. RE: PS1 Case project - ViperVi - 03-29-2016 Nice Case Idea... By the way, you may be better off powering the board using the IO pins instead of the micro USB power port. And don't forget to add heat sinks and additional fan(s) for venting as the box will be closed and may run hotter otherwise. RE: PS1 Case project - Zoidiano0 - 03-29-2016 Looks nice.!

I've looked for a diagram of pinout but can't find one that shows which Pins would be used for direct powering of the board. Can you help with that? I've got some small AL heat sinks laying around I can use. I've just put a small fan in the area where the CD reader was. If it gets too hot I'll open the lid RE: PS1 Case project - ViperVi - 03-31-2016 (03-16-2016, 01:21 AM)Andrew2 Wrote:(03-15-2016, 11:22 PM)SkimMilk Wrote: 1500ma = 1.5A, which is not sufficient to power the Pine. Read this post above. It may help. But be very careful when using these pins to power the board. If you connect on wrong pins it may fry the board. Or look at this thread with more details for powering the board using the GPIO pins. http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=206&highlight=IO+pins+power RE: PS1 Case project - birdcatx7 - 03-31-2016 This looks very interesting. I wanted to use an old NES, but I rather like the idea of using a PS1 instead. Though, maybe I'll use a PS2. EDIT: I actually just remember that I have one or two translucent orange PS1 shells in the closet. Might use one of those. RE: PS1 Case project - Inuyasha - 03-31-2016 I've got a blue one, but it's still housing the original innards, and I don't plan on changing that, lol. |
