On the previous post, MottZilla asked me whether I plan to create a PCB-mount version of this connector. First of all, thank you so much for expressing interest in my little project. But to answer your question: currently, I intend to solder directly to the connector just to prove that it works....

First of all, thank you to everyone for giving me advice. About the Cybdyn Systems deal: they offered to sell me 4 connectors for $30 AUD, so around $21.53 USD ? $5.38 USD per connector. Actually very reasonable, considering that these are purpose-made connectors. However, I did not go through ...

So, the fine folks over at Cybdyn Systems have actually responded to my request: Uh-oh. Well, that immediately tells me that the total price will be in the human organ territory, and since I am a broke student (who would really like to keep his kidneys intact, thank you very much), that probab...

I have now contacted Cybdyn Systems through their JIRA Service Desk (because you can't just send them an e-mail...), we'll see if they respond. Sadly, I won't post an update to the project today, since the school homework deadline is dangerously approaching. I might post one tomorrow, depends on ...

Hello everyone yet again! 😀 First of all, I have slightly modified the model of the connector's base – I made the pin holes a bit larger, since inserting them was impossible in certain holes due to printer inconsistency (printing 0.6 mm wide holes is a hard, trust me – now they are ~0.7 m...

Hey! Made some progress on the project, as promised. Yesterday's post was written in quite a hurry, so it may not be as comprehensible as I would like it to be. Sorry about that, hopefully this post will fix that. My intention for this project is to make a fully-working PlayStation parallel por...

In this thread, I describe my journey of making a simple plug at home (using off-the-shelf parts) that fits the original Sony PlayStation's parallel expansion port. As of this time, I have failed quite badly.

Alright. The PlayStation parallel port situation at this point is in a terrible place. People are in the best case buying similar connectors and chopping them up to fit in the console (which is probably the most sensible, however I'm not paying >$30 on DigiKey for a single connector + shipping...

I haven't been able to find any good tutorial on how to get the Psy-Q SDK running under Linux, so after a bit of trial and error I got it working well enough that this Hello world example now compiles, gets packaged into a disc image and runs all under modern Linux. Step 1: Make sure y...

Are you already bored of Kahoot and want to try something new? Then we'd like to introduce to you Kahút for the Sony PlayStation®, which I've successfully tested on my classmates from during one of our French classes. How does the game work? The observant of you might have...
