I&#8217;m not completely sure where I went wrong yet, but I *think* I miscounted the pins on the IC late last night when making up <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/playstation_as_cdplayer_notes_1.jpg\">these notes<\/a>, and possibly counted pins wrong. I still haven&#8217;t figured out what is wrong, but I think this is where things are off.<\/p>\n<p>I confirmed that <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8846-scaled.jpg\">the connection to the rear of the controller jack<\/a> is right, and things connect right to the PCB. I don&#8217;t see a short between any of the signal lines, and the Playstation does boot to the CD player screen without error. So, I&#8217;m kinda thinking I screwed up something with the PCB. I&#8217;m just a bit frustrated because I <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8844-scaled.jpg\">secured the wires to the board<\/a> and then <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8845-scaled.jpg\">secured the PCB into the enclosure with hot melt glue<\/a>. It&#8217;ll be a hassle to rip out, and I won&#8217;t be able to reuse the PCB. That means I&#8217;ll have to find another Playstation controller. Oh well. :(<\/p>\n<p>And here I was quite happy over <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8852-scaled.jpg\">how it had all fit into the enclosure<\/a>. I&#8217;ll just have to work on it a bit more, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cut Down SCPH-1080 PCB and Pushbuttons(Click for huuuuge image&#8230;) Last night I spent a while cleaning the plastics on the SCPH-1001 that I was putting buttons in, reassembled the lid and closing mechanism, mounted the buttons and ground bus, wired up the signal lines, connected the signal lines to the pcb, and&#8230; screwed up.
