Group (pre-)order: PS3/360/PC PCB

Ramza

Install mine/gimme a hand with it at yours and I'll give you first class 3s lessons one on one :pac: forget these chumps :pac:

nah, jk obviously. but i will seriously need 4 wires I think for my start and select, and also a hand putting it in ><

Kiki, I won't be taking my one which I had pre-ordered. However, I will pay you through paypal if you pm me your account.

I think Owwmykneecap said he would be interested in taking it instead.

Orim

I'll jump in on that on one, if Kneecap doesn't want it.

No worries Terry, I'll keep it in the safebox & get the cash off whoever wants it instead
Kneecaps has first dibs over Orim, IIRC.

Information #1 about pre-order of the PS360 PCB

Hello again,

We have now gotten payment from you and you are now waiting for the PCB(s) to ship so here is the first update on your order:

We had an estimated shipping date around the start of this month but it has been changed a bit because of shipping time to us (with boat) and the extra amount we have ordered.

New shipping date (that is when we ship it to you) will be near the end of this month (November), this is the final schedule we got from the maker.
We are very sorry for this, hope you understand.

More info about the PCB:
* Each PS360 will be solder free for the user, no soldering required.
* Each PS360 will be packed in an anti-static bag.
* Each PS360 will have a 4-pin cable included for extra USB signal hook-up inside your stick (if needed).

If anyone changes their minds about their PCB or have a spare one over, I'll be willing to pay 30 euros for it.

K.O.Kiki

Boards have arrived, customs man didn't

Actually I'm gonna ransom them now.
€28** each! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!*


*aww, go on...
**unless customs get me... right? Erk...

You get sent a letter from customs a week or so later generally.

Hopefully I'll be able to get this from you at some stage next week.

Not this weekend for sure.

I shouldn't even be on the net except for research.

Quick update for everyone:

I'm currently studying for exams, so I won't be working on PS360 stuff until after my last exam (15th Jan).

If you want me to post a PS360 PCB to you, please PM me ASAP.

For anyone else waiting on installs:
I will be investigating on the IFs/HOWs of a solderless 11-button install in PS3 or 360 TEs.

Additionally (or if I can't hook into the Home-button panel), Plan B:
Adding 1-2 small buttons (either on the top plate or at the rear).

This is because the TE only has 10 easily accessible buttons (meaning a sacrifice of Select button).
Post on here if you have any questions (because I know my explanation is kinda weird).

You'd be better using a 74ACT32 than adding extra buttons.
It'll allow you to push start+select to activate guide/home.
Only costs about 45c and you could use heatshrink to get it working.

K.O.Kiki

UPDATE

Can't figure out a solderless method.

Have found a method which WILL however allow use of the Home & Turbo buttons on the top panel (as normal).
However, I will have to take the stick home to solder to the main board for this.

Owwmykneecap

You have one for me or what's the story with that?

K.O.Kiki

Yeah, I have it (and loads others -- I've actually forgotten who they're for!)

PM me if you want me to send it via An Post.

Owwmykneecap

I'll sort it with you at inferno. I'll probably need you to stick it in for me anyway depending on how tricky it is.

Dreddybajs

Lads as an outside observer you gotta realise that "sticking it in" for you requires quite a lot of work for Kiki, as well as research in some cases (figuring out how to keep the home/turbo buttons working, etc.). imo you guys should be offering him money to do this stuff for you rather than (it seems to me) just expecting it as part of him ordering the PCB for you.

PPC

I agree, from personal experience it does take a bit of time to get a new pcb setup in a stick.
Last time i installed a dual mod it took nearly 5 hours of work. This method is a bit easier but its still time consuming.

UberPrinny_Baal

I would be quite happy to pay extra and even drive to the installers house to minimise his time investment in this project (if anyone is willing to do this for me).

The second this involved soldering it went immediately beyond my abilities, both in equipment and skill.

Yeah, thats why i am paying him money not just for the pcb. stuff like that seems like a alot of work.

If anyone could include an Xbox 360 controller to PS3 converter in their order I 'd happily renumerate them for their efforts.

Owwmykneecap

Well in fairness i am taking Terry's order over, i didn't actually order this, i will sort him out at inferno, i don't expect him to do it for free.

Also coming into this late I don't know the full situation re: installing it, so i don't know whether I'll personally be able to install it or not. If i think I can I probably will.

DARK-KNIGHT

Hi Kiki if I wanted to order 1 of these would you install it at my cost to you

Fergus_

Yeah I don't expect Kiki to do it for free, I'm sure it's a annoying task, so I'll be willing to pay for the work

K.O.Kiki

Could anyone who needs their PCBs installed please bring their stick on Saturday?
I have the rest of next week free so can dedicate some time to installs.

Also, GorySnake, I'll need Ramza's TE for an install also.

UberPrinny_Baal

I won't be there Kiki, so you can leave mine at home.

I'll send you a PM though!

I myself asked Kiki in person/here if he would give me a hand with mine, and I said I would offer him money for his time/labour Although the point still stands
