Stupid question, already answered 100 times, but for some reason I can't seem to find the answer (maybe i'm too sleepy for correct use of google atm... god knows) so apologies beforehand for just again repeating... TL;DR, i have an NTSC SCPH-1001 and a pile of more recent (5XXX series) PAL units and since the NTSC unit doesn't work with the superior 220V electricity the european masterrace uses ( ) the plan was to fit a more recent PSU from one of my junked PAL units into it. the thing is, the more recent ones are not pin-compatible. I've seen an image posted around that had the pinouts so that it can be easily rewired to work on the older board types but as said, I seem to (for whatever reason) be unable to currently find it. sooo, does anyone have that diagram or just happens to remember how it works ?
The US uses both 120v and 220v. We have appliances that require 220v so most houses have 220v outlets. In fact, my house has two: one for the electric stove and another for the dryer. Even some of our portable generators have 220v outlets.
Yeah but unplugging your stove or having to hook a generator up every time you want to play the PS1 seems like a hassle doesn’t it? In Europe (Denmark at least) our stoves run of 400v. So, yeah.
I see my little joke sparked a discussion here It's the same in Finland, standard stuff runs 220V and "large" things like a stove or sauna runs off a bit heavir cable, which is something like 370 or 400V, im not even sure tbh. thanks for the links though, with that, I can just build another ps1 instead of my original plan of dissecting the NTSC unit for the dual oscillator mod for my PAL 1002.
most definitely!! ....well, that should do it, just ditched one of the GND pins and made the 3,5V pin from the psu split into 2 for the mobo. Im slightly worried about the output though, since the 7xxx ps1 I took the PSU from says it's 10watts, and the 1001 I put it into says 17 watts.... lessee if it melts or not
I used a 5502 PSU in my modified PS1 1002 CD player for years with no issues. Not sure how much different the 7xxx is though.
I wouldn't worry about it - for a while the US PlayStations had anomalously high power ratings, despite having the same internal hardware as the others. (All these machines have the same PU-18 main board) SCPH-5500 / NTSC:J - 100V 9W 50/60Hz SCPH-5501 / NTSC:U/C - 120V 60Hz 17W SCPH-5502 / PAL - AC 220-240V 50Hz 9W The SCPH-750x machines have the same pattern The power ratings were fixed for the 9000 series: (All these machines have the same PU-23 main board) SCPH-9000 / NTSC:J - 100V 9W 50/60Hz SCPH-9001 / NTSC:U/C - AC 120V 60Hz 10W SCPH-9002 / PAL - AC 220-240V 50/60Hz 10W
lol, okay then. i'll leave it be then (assuming it works to begin with, didnt test yet) until it gives me issues, if ever.
