That is frightening! Can you imagine going to plug in the HDMI cable which has become Live because the User hasn't realised its hitting the Fuse and they will get Electrocuted... They should have provided something which insulates and covers the High Voltage of the PSU.
Even though the title of this video is a little intense, I wanted to thank you for posting this. I initially did this mod using my internal PSU, but decided to go with the RePS2 PSU after safety concerns. I think anyone doing this mod on a fat PS2 should do the same.
A pvc or petg sheet should be good enough to stop the board from shorting out. Some of the guides I've seen show the wifi board being stuck on the fan.
Yeah you could even probably use one of those $1 flexible cutting boards from the dollar store haha Just fold it 3 times, punch some holes for the screws to go though Done
That antenna looks like one of those occasions where it's recommended to use a glue gun. You can get plastic sheets that are used for vacuum forming, wouldn't take much to rig something up with a hot air station
repsu is ideal ofc. i dont like the ribbon connector they've used on the gem, nobody has mentioned this. the connector on the n64 digital was brittle, the connector on the gem is so weak the weight of the flex can unlatch the ribbon connector and unplug itself, you need to push in the ribbon when its unlatched them squish the latch down for it to feel snug.
Can you repost the backup of the psx ? Or make a video to recover the hdd of psx i got a few psx with hdd working or can you tell me how to recover a psx of a wrong update
@@Slot1Gamer yeah the console are DESR 5500 and put by error the update disc 1.31 the psx dev site say DESR 5500 the release fw are 2.06 so i got error -1 every boot if i use fmcb i can access, now im trying get a backup of psx update 2.11 iso because i got one but this get a error i watch a lot info about use the iso burned in CD clean with fmcb and ulauncher I gonna try this
I’m still undecided on that front. It is a common practice in hardware both consumer and enterprise, as it reduces manufacturing costs. But with the release of their new external scaler, I am wondering if it switches these non-shiny models into higher res sneaky like. Because the new scaler can communicate with the internal cards. I guess someone needs to get both and run a splitter to see what’s going on At least they are a little upfront that the only difference is software Panasonic pull that junk with their cameras all the time
@@Slot1Gamer Super late to this comment, but I think there's a difference here between the common practice you mention, and what they did. If the only difference was software features like scanlines and such, I'd agree. However, they also lock 1080p behind the paywall. The entire point of this kit is to upscale video out, and they lock the most desireable resolution behind the "shiny version." That goes beyond only software differences. They are intentionally gimping the hardware via the software that controlls it. It literally can't even do what the entire device is designed to do, to it's full potential, unless you spend the extra cash.
@@Profeces Super late too, but this depends on how you see it and what you're trying to get out of it. For me the whole point of the digital mod is to get clean, direct, digital video out to feed to a scaler. If the system outputs natively 256p, get 256p, if it outputs 576i, get 576i. In practice, the highest resolution you would need to get out of this would be 576p on the PS2 . And then feed it to your scaler or TV to do the upscaling.
@@Slot1Gamer ye damn thats pretty bad i was looking to get this for my american ps1 so i can play in full hd and any game with the xstation or the new mstation that shoud come out idn when xd
Ps1 is fine by the looks it’s all located around the AV area from memory. Yeah the analogue outputs on the ps1 aren’t that great to be honest so hdmi mods is the way to go haha
