Sheepy

The RP2040 on the #PSXBlueRetro PowerBoard has two main jobs: playing sounds and controlling the power LED. Sure, the ESP32 could handle it — but I want anyone to easily tweak and customize it. Plus, it provides extra I/O pins for your own ideas! #BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

Spent the last few days troubleshooting, and now my #PSXBlueRetro install is finally done – as you can see in the pics and video! The buzzer is still way too quiet (on the list ✅), but hey – it’s fully working! 😎 #PS1 #RetroGaming #Modding

Just received a FEW parts and some PCBs for my #PSXBlueRetro mod. Time to find out if it works as expected — or if I’ll be greeted by the magic smoke😅 #BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

A new day, a new update! 😎 Here’s the PowerBoard for my #PSXBlueRetro mod. It can be wired in series or parallel with any power supply. It also houses an additional RP2040 — but what exactly it does… you’ll find out tomorrow! 😄 #BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

As promised, here are some updates! 🛠️ This is the V1.2 of the main PCB — fixed a footprint, added some noise filtering (never had issues, but hey), and included analog LEDs thanks to DarthCloud’s work. More soon! 😉 #PSXBlueRetro #BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

Finally got back to working on my PSXBlueRetro mod! Built a quick test circuit for some features, wrote some firmware, and designed a PowerBoard — even did a 3D print test fit inside the console. More updates coming soon! #PSXBlueRetro #BlueRetro #RetroGaming

Parcel delivery firm DPD have replaced their customer service chat with an AI robot thing. It’s utterly useless at answering any queries, and when asked, it happily produced a poem about how terrible they are as a company. It also swore at me. 😂

Today I had a "little" test session, and I can confirm that every controller in this picture will be detected and works as expected :) #BlueRetro #PSXBlueRetro

Today I found my last issue with the current trigger (blown fuses :D), and then I tested the following models successfully: 1002, 5502 (3x), 7002, 7502 and 9002. Now I have to test all controllers ;)

This looks promising. Now I have to test all my controllers :)

A new version of BlueRetro with additional features for PS1. So I think I have to do another iteration of my PSXBlueRetro mod :D
