My DTL-H30001 "TEST" PS2

What I find really interesting, it's a NTSC/UC debugging station, but has got an european power-supply with 230V/50Hz...
It also states on the back that it's 230V/50Hz.
And the warranty seal has not been broken -
so it must have been there from beginning.

 

china and australia have 220V power supplies too so maybe it's not a europpean one.

 

True, but Australia is a PAL region, and to some extent is true for some Chinese console variations (I think).

 

of course australia is Pal region but europe too so...
i don't know country with NTSC U/C signal ith a 220 power supply, maybe for a studio in europe who devellop NTSC games before Pal games (UBISOFT ? )

 

Asian consoles as of late use NTSC/220V.

 

Korea uses 220 VAC...
they used to run both 110/220 VAC till couple of years ago but now they switched to 220 VAC as standard...

 

UK *mostly* uses 240v, though if you're buying some really heavy duty kick ass power tools such as DeWALT (especially for outdoor/construction work) to reduce the chance of death corded devices can be bought in 110v - the downside being you need an industrial transformer which can survive a few hits to stepdown the current from 240v to 110v. It's better than using a 240v drill outdoors and something happening to the electrics resulting in :death

 

umm... most of tools sold around here are 240 VAC...
not a pleasant thought mate... :-(

 

But what I dont get, its at 30001, but European? kinda weird!!!

 

It must be for European developers to do localisation testing, as the majority of them do release their games in North America - hence the "U/C". The majority of TV sets sold these days here are NTSC compatible, plus they can just use RGB anyway, so using one here wouldn't be a problem.

 

What I also find odd, is that is plays PS2 games (master discs and originals) in the correct region, hence a PAL game in PAL.

But it plays ALL PS1 games, regardless of what region in NTSC!

So, what I got is a Korean debugger? Interesting

 

Meh i always find 110v equipment lacking in clout such as heat guns. :smt067

The best power tools are pheumatic :smt023

 

IMO the best power tools use AA batteries, I'm not afraid of those ones

 

hmm... I wonder if any of you've bought PS2 Test from assembler got NTSC unit instead of PAL?

Got mine today but it's PAL unit instead of NTSC? :smt022
maybe someone's out there wondering why they received NTSC unit instead of PAL unit?

oh well... hope PAL unit has no issue to run NTSC-U/NTSC-J titles coz that was the reason I wanted NTSC PS2Test in the first place...

still top block. :smt023
thanks to him I got hold of my own PS2 Test...

cheers

 

Ive got a small kick ass soldering iron that runna off AAs runns hotter then a 110v

 

mine's portable one runs off gas... :-D

 

yeh but i cant use gas on aircraft :smt022

 

huh? mate what were you doing on airplane welding soldering iron?

 

lol you can get soldering iron that run off lighter fuel thought thats what u ment.

Some aircraft still have solderd joints :angry why????? there shit
