02/07/2018, 03:08 AMQuote from: Psycho Punch on 02/06/2018, 07:10 PMAll PS2s have hardware retrocompat, the real problem is that the PS1 chip acts as the PS2's IO controller in PS2 mode. USB/HDD = PS2 Kernel Mode, Booting a PS1 game makes the IO chip take over the console hardware until reboot.This!
Quote from: bob on 02/06/2018, 09:52 PMi found a sweet adapter that allows you to use a ps controller on a gamecube or xbox. it has usb too, but i haven't tried one on the pc yetI have found a sweet adaptor that allows you to use a PlayStation controller on the Xbox 360, and vice-versa.
http://www.dx.com/p/ps2-to-xbox-360-controller-adapter-cable-33241
I've only tested it so far to use PS2 controllers on Xbox 360, and it works. You NEED a _wired_ Xbox 360 controller plugged into the USB jack of the adaptor as well, though, to make the Xbox 360 recognise the adaptor. Still, this is a pretty chinsy-flimsy Chinesium design, the build-quality isn't anything to write home about. At least there's no noticeable input lag, and guess what I'm kind of anal about any lag.
Useful for 2D games (e.g. the Monster World collection and Pac Man C.E.) as well as fighting games, because they benefit greatly from a good d-pad.
Otherwise, this is my go-to adress for all kinds of useful adaptors, they're the best:

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: UK Console power supply's on a PCE Duo
01/29/2018, 06:29 AM
(Pic source: konsolenkost.de)
Hah! I just found an original PAL Sega Mega Drive power supply model no. 1602-18 (for 220 V / 50 Hz regions) among my spares.
10 V DC
1.2 A
Along with an adaptor for the Turbo Duo power inlet, this should do the trick.
EDIT: Well, this power supply is a bit like Schroedinger's cat. It does and it doesn't.
Why? Because it has a reversed polarity on the plug: Positive voltage on the outer ring and ground being on the tip.
Do not use it.
Unless you have another adaptor handy that reverses the polarity to positive tip and outer ring ground. I did built such an adaptor by myself, since I had the parts available among my spares anyway.

Looks so much more tidy now with the new flexible wiring on the AV port. I also took the time to clean the PCB from the brownish flux residue using "Kontakt LR" flux remover.
I've now found the cause for the shorts. Do you see the black wires near the tantalum caps in the lower left? Just where they go down the PCB to the underside, their PVC coat is slightly worn. Thus they are just ever so slightly touching the metal shield once the PCB sits on the screw mounts.
Using a Proxxon Micromot 50/E, I cut away a portion of that metal shield and sanded it.
The black leads got additional isolation using elec-chicken's tape.
It werkz!
I tried both Hucard and CD games. They play fine, BUT there is one issue left.
The volume for Redbook CD-audio is pretty low. Either I've managed to damage one of the caps, or there is a potentiometer for turning up the CD-audio volume. Please let me know what you guys think I should look for when examining the board next time.

I managed to resolder that red capacitor. Luckily, I didn't need a botch wire, I just needed to carefully scrape the PCB surface to get enough copper surface for the leg to attach.
Then, I put some paper between the PCB and the bottom metal shield, to prevent accidental shorts. I haven't replaced the voltage regulators yet.
The power supply now shows 10 V and a current draw of 0.45 amps.
Probing on to the fuse shows 9 V. There must be a 1 V loss somewhere between the power connector and the fuse. What the...
Still, probing around the board, including the voltage regulators, shows a voltage of 5 V. Bang on! Both regulators are getting slightly warm, but not hot. Probing the AV output shows voltage on the pins. Could it be...?
Needless to say, I couldn't wait to connect my Turbo Duo to the TV. Still powered by the lab supply, where the hell is my dedicated power adaptor brick? I've got no idea.
As you can see, the console has been brought back to life, and I spent some time playing Gradius and Peach Boy.
Thanks again to all you guys for your support and giving me confidence. You rock.
Final thoughts:
When putting the PCB back into the case, I'll have to see if there's any unwanted contact between the metal shield and some component legs sticking out.

Gentlemen, welcome back to the shop.
If you guys have any advice, even for the really obvious things, I'd be very thankful!
The current setup:
BM 235 connected in series between power supply and Turbo Duo for measuring current. Fluke 12E+ connected in parallel to measure voltage between Duo's ground and some points on the Duo's PCB. Please note the CD-Rom cables are currently not attached. The unit has beed recapped by somebody who I can vouch for that he knows what he's doing. The RGB mod and the region switch however look rather amateurish to me and have been done by the previous owner. Pic taken with the power supply being turned off.
Adjustable power supply. Able to deliver up to 15 V at 3 amps. Pic taken at no load.
A closer look at the power connector.
Let's flip the power switch to ON.
Mhm... that left power regulator is getting pretty hot. The right one stays cold as ice.
No wonder. That darn thing is trying to pull 2 amps. What the fuck.
Look at the power supply to confirm what the DMM is saying. Yep, that's 20 Watts of angry pixies dancing merrily around the circuit.
Let's measure the voltage on the leftmost pin of the left power regulator.
8.5 V. I don't know if this is good or bad.
Oh well. Let's flip the power switch to OFF and examine the PCB.
Look at that component. I guess that's some cap which is a little bit "how-are-you-doing"? Or is he trying to say "look mommy, I can stand on one leg!"?
The underside of the PCB. The wires for the RGB mod are actually stiff single core wires instead of proper flexible multi core ones. I guess I'll have to replace them sooner than later.
A look at the soldering joints of that mischievious voltage regulator.
Addendum:
Some shop humor.
One ruler to rule them all!
