Re: PSX controller on PC with usb?

You can easily make a playstation to pc parralell port adapter, but not all pcs have those now & I'm not sure how good the drivers are. Making a usb adapter would be a bit harder, you'd need a microcontroller & the parts would probably cost more than a ready made working one from ebay.

Re: Best laser lens for Playstation?

I assumed us from the ntsc stuff. I'm in the UK, I bought a good big widescreen Panasonic 100hz CRT TV just before they stopped producing them & it has RGB SCART (like all European TVs). I think I'm buying another TV exactly the same tomorrow too, from ebay for £1. PS2 can do YPbPr component vi...

Re: PSX controller on PC with usb?

Not much point in making one yourself when they're $3 on ebay from china for a 2x ps1/ps2 controller to usb adapter & they work well. The chip in mine is marked: VINYSON VN8-811 HER10 20111221 I can open it up & take photos of the board if it helps anybody, it seems to all be clearly marked ...

Re: Best laser lens for Playstation?

Well, my first PS1 was SCPH-5501, sold it years ago. Now I got a new 7501, and I'll stay with it. As for video, I will use pure RGB so in this part will be much better to me (always used S-video as max). You'll notice much more of a difference between rgb & s-video than you would between differ...

Re: Best laser lens for Playstation?

I know 1001 & 5501 have high-quality AKM DAC, so for audio part it will be a bit different, but for video I couldn't find any information on the changes. The audio shouldn't be hard to make a mod pos-5501. Also 550x doesn't have a dedicated audio output, so only 100x have good audio output. 550...

Re: Best laser lens for Playstation?

The KSM440BAM psone laser is the best, but it has a very short ribbon cable, so may need some modification to fit in an older ps1. The 900x models had the second best laser, almost the same as the KSM440BAM, but they have longer cables, I've fitted a good one in my 5502. PS1 consoles are very cheap ...
