  1. 20A for a 12V... You mine 12Vx20A=240w instead of 12vx15A=180w ? I take the risk ? (edit) it's mean that it's nearly the same Pico psu than my 160w?... Why it's so big so???
  2. OK, so maybe try a 300w Pico psu, no ? Mine is only 160w... If you had bad issues, maybe it was because of your power brick?
  3. A 250w Pico psu should be enough I think for a 1070 without HDD drive. Yes yes I know, if you listen the internet, bigger is better... Hopefully I didn't ask for mine because people would say me without a 400w PSU, that will never work... Blablabla.... That's work perfect for me, it's not CIA files ?
  4. Hello man, I used windows with only gamepad controllers to do what you want. You can put all programs that you want in emulationstation from windows and use autohotkey to go back with start + select on your Pad. Finally, me I use Launchbox (Bigbox) but I have a emulationstation for it too. Take a look at my video to see the result.
  5. haha, not at all... But look like I just launch Bigbox (frontend) instead of explorer.exe from windows by only write the path of Bigbox.exe (or any program that you want...) instead of explorer.exe in the keyregistry here : (very easy) After I only change the windows 10 boot logo by a custom logo that I created with paint. I use a little easy program to do it (HackBGRT). When I need to install something I go back in windows desktop by runing explorer.exe in taskmanager. Like this : Ctrl + alt + del
  6. I heard that the new gtx 1650 low profile have a height of 32 mm. Could it be fit on it? I saw some test about 4x to 16x pcie and you loose only 5 or 10% of performance. That's alright ?
  7. It's feel like you're pretty close to this dream, isn't it? ahah ????
  8. Yeah if the sound is not too noisy don't fucking care about it ?
  9. My answers between ( ) Maybe the nose is from a transformer or coil too :
  10. Hi man, I don't know if I am right but I think : For the ram : yes sometimes you have to push it a lot. It's freaking. For the GPU : look like the case don't really need holes, it's just blocks the GPU like that. (you can tinker if you want...). The sizzling : Look like a sound off a capacitor so... 1) Maybe it's normal, sometimes capacitors sound like this (that's happened in some electronics device TV, guitar amplifier... ) 2) Maybe it was already damaged from the manufacturer. It will work fine or one day capacitor will burn.... 3) Maybe, capacitor is too close to the case so when you turn of your system it will discharge on the case and by creating a little electric arc. 4) Maybe, a iron dust came into the mother board and it's discharging a capacitor. So use standoffs, clean with a hair dryer. Use thermal paste. Normally, the system turn down automatically when the CPU is hot. It should be fine.
  11. Lol, in the PS2, i even broke a square of the Pico Psu and I solder it like a badass in the resistor : I am really not good at it ?
  12. @Ross Siggers yes Ross, PS2 gonna be terribly easier ?... I saw your post of your dreamcast. I get so much trouble too with 2 cheap irons of 10 box. I am not good at it but finally with patience it s working even if you have to solder hundreds of wires.? For example, I solder so many wires for the fxxxing screen of this build below : So much pain ?? But working Ahah! ?
  13. Yes the power led is on or off and the HDD's led is always flashing according to his work.
  14. Yes mate. It's just that I tried to spend the minimum of money for it... ? Already 450€ with half of second hand stuff ?
  15. @Ross Siggers Yep buddy, so I watch for other SFF and yes they have holes everywhere... I like your idea of a grid pattern in the underside with little legs to let the air passed. I already drill holes in the back for the graphic card and the PS2 already have a little barbecue grill in the front. So I will : - drill the back (more) - put a big grid pattern for the underside with a filter. - put a intake fan on the grid patern ???? No crash in 100 hours of gaming for the moment but "summer is coming"
  16. Hi man, no gauge problems, even a 0,5mm is alright. I used some arduino buttons, wires and leds for my buttons. But for the led you have to put a resistor in series with it. In general, 12v switch button are style with led inside if you need. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=12v+switch+button&sprefix=12v+switch+butt
  17. Am back guys with a question. When I play to Assassin's creed, my PS2 is coming hot like a hell, I would like to put a fan but I don't know if I have to rejected the air inside or outside? @Ross Siggers any suggestion?
  18. For sure man, the extra room of the PS2 make all the difference but IT IS A DREAMCAST ??. You did it !!!! Keep going on STX, I will go on STX too (thx for tips) but maybe with APU... Too much time and problems with a GPU my friend ?.
  19. Great work, Congrats man!! I would like to have this quality of work! Nice!
  20. So a great work man. It's so clean? I looked for doing it on a dreamcast but finally I did it in PS2. Next time we should look for an APU ryzen 2400g or next gen ?? Well done!!!
  21. Yes normally if you don't use the inverter circuit you don't need to have big power for the lcd back light. But It's hard to find the datasheet from the constructor and wires diagrams so when I had the same problem like you, I just bought a universal lcd controller board in banggood or ebay for 20 box. Like that : https://fr-m.banggood.com/M_NT68676_2A-LCD-Monitor-Controller-Board-Converter-Driver-Kit-HDMI-DVI-VGA-for-1920x1200-LM240WU2-SLB2-p-1438310.html?rmmds=search In ebay the seller ask you for the reference of the screen to provide you the good inverter. Normally, you don't need it. A controller board is not to much expensive so if I was you, I just try... Black is the ground ? Can't help you more... Sorry
  22. First thing to do was to clean the ps2 and use epoxy to glue screws and cut the USB to Ps2 joypad to glue it inside the PS2. After I unsold and sold new wires in the USB to Ps2 joypad. And I unsold and sold new wires on the Pico Psu ATX plug because It's impossible to close the ps2 if I let it like that. It's very tight to pass this kind of Pico Psu into the ps2 box. I think, it would be more relevant to use kind of 250w Pico psu like in the picture bellow : After, I just have to find the good plug for the power brick and Voilà!! Now I had to do 2 new buttons for the front. I used the "power on" button for the power and I used the CD open buton for the reset. I can't use the original ps2 circuit bord for it because it's micro sold and I have ... big fingers... So I cut a part from the original CD driver plastic of the ps2 and Adapted to accommodate my buttons, resistors and LEDs. It's ugly but it works ?? I cut a piece of plastic for the back, it's a little bit shity, I will re-do it and I still have to put 2 x usb port in the front panel of the ps2 for the charging and the Bluetooth of the Dualshock3 wireless pads. For the moment a use mother's board usb from the behind. Voila Voilà, it's all for the hardware of the beautifull PS2 ? I used some tricks for softwares like : - to change the indows boot logo with HackBGRT - create a offline and inline shortcut in bigbox for steam with batch files. Needed for when I bring my ps2 to play with friends. - Set the leds of Dualshocks 3 in real order with scpserver and devreorder to working. Thx Linustechtips for the free place to share with other
  23. Thx Nunolava ?. I will post other photo soon!
