Sunday: Started again with a fresh stencil, this time for the #PSXBlueRetro power board. It looked promising—USB was detected—but I couldn't flash firmware. Hours later, I fixed it. Now the RP2040 runs and even plays its sounds :)

Oh boy, what a weekend! Time for a quick update on what happened since Thursday. I worked on two projects – the GameCube USB-C mod and, of course, #PSXBlueRetro. #BlueRetro #PS1 #RetroGaming #GameCube

Finally got back to working on my PSXBlueRetro mod! Built a quick test circuit for some features, wrote some firmware, and designed a PowerBoard — even did a 3D print test fit inside the console. More updates coming soon! #PSXBlueRetro #BlueRetro #RetroGaming

The RP2040 on the #PSXBlueRetro PowerBoard has two main jobs: playing sounds and controlling the power LED. Sure, the ESP32 could handle it — but I want anyone to easily tweak and customize it. Plus, it provides extra I/O pins for your own ideas!.#BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

Today I had a "little" test session, and I can confirm that every controller in this picture will be detected and works as expected :) #BlueRetro #PSXBlueRetro

Just received a FEW parts and some PCBs for my #PSXBlueRetro mod. Time to find out if it works as expected — or if I’ll be greeted by the magic smoke😅.#BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

As promised, here are some updates! 🛠️.This is the V1.2 of the main PCB — fixed a footprint, added some noise filtering (never had issues, but hey), and included analog LEDs thanks to DarthCloud’s work. More soon! 😉.#PSXBlueRetro #BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

A new day, a new update! 😎.Here’s the PowerBoard for my #PSXBlueRetro mod. It can be wired in series or parallel with any power supply. It also houses an additional RP2040 — but what exactly it does… you’ll find out tomorrow! 😄.#BlueRetro #RetroGaming #PS1

Thursday: While ordering parts for #PSXBlueRetro, I also got more components for giltesas #GameCube USB-C mod. One IC had a pad that couldn’t be soldered by hand, so I used my heat plate for the first time—and by evening, I had USB-powered GC working!

Saturday Pt. II: Feeling like a heat plate + stencil expert, I used my CO₂ laser to make a stencil for my #PSXBlueRetro mod. Soldering went smoothly—though the circuit didn't work at first, I got it running by the end of the night!

A new version of BlueRetro with additional features for PS1. So I think I have to do another iteration of my PSXBlueRetro mod :D.

@Greenblaze2233 I’m pretty sure it will work with the M-Station. My PSXBlueRetro mod with the PowerBoard doesn’t draw much power. Also, you have the option to switch from the 3.5V rail to the 8V rail if your power supply can’t keep up on 3.5V.

Work on the prototypes continues. I still have a few ideas for improvements, so there’ll probably be another PCB revision to get everything just right. Stay tuned!.#PSXBlueRetro #PS1 #RetroGaming.

@Gusse__ @darthcloud64 @atherismods O.k., I just wondered because I have added an extra microcontroller to my PSXBlueRetro mod for that feature.
