yea, I think I'll hold off too until he says its ready for prime time.. Hopefully he will sell unpopulated boardsI'll wait until another update comes out of this.

It'll be a while until all motherboards can be supported. I wanted to use my early model PS1 as an audiophile CD player and instead opt for my donor SCPH-7502 for the job.I've done quite a few xstation installs, would like to get one of these going as well.
I had to repair my 1002 because of a faulty laser. It works but still has troubles reading specific discs.I've only done 1 audiophile xstation. I'm always looking for 5501 when I go out thrifting. Found so many that had dead lasers, but that exactly what kind of a deal that I'm looking for.
That's what I did. Syphon Filter had skipping FMV/audio, and so I flipped it over to fix the issue.Those early model lasers can be fussy. We used to flip the whole console upside back in the day.
You just attach the gerber files into a ZIP file and JLCPCB processes them for you. I believe there is an export function in KiCad.Ordered all components, but I can't find how to convert kicad files into a working Gerber file :/
Maybe someone has already done it ?
- All parts received and assembled
- Paulo7x8 just released a test code that works with an audio CD bin/cue ( )
- Tested and approved, sadly I'm not competent to help him develop, but it's on a great way !!!
Well, I knocked the SPU of this PS1 while installing it, but proud of me anyway (not a dev nor a modder, just an enthusiastic player)That's brilliant. I love to see your progress going great.

Well, I'd say roughly 30€, but appart for the pico and sd reader, I could prepare 4 more PCBs.Great stuff! I've been following along with your convo with paulo on Twitter how much did the board cost you? I'm very tempted to grab and make up a board, but having to buy multiple amounts of the same components since they dont sell them in singles will knock up the price. I may wait until paulo finalises the part list/board.
Congrats on getting it all soldered up.. and resoldering the pico without damaging it
Yea, I wouldn't be surprised if you see ready made pcb's for cheap on ali. But in truth I quite fancy the idea of soldering up one myself haha.. IF ali were to sell unpopulated boards with the parts as a kit then that would be a insta buy for me.Well, I'd say roughly 30€, but appart for the pico and sd reader, I could prepare 4 more PCBs.
I'm almost sure when the project will be more advanced that you could find assembled PCBs for ~10€ on AliExpress, but half of the fun is building it
Hehe, the pico reversing was a real pain ^^
