By checking this box and purchasing Methylene FAT :
– I understand that this is a first batch.
– The SMD components are soldered by hand (solder paste and soldering via hot plate), which will not be the case in the final version, but there is no difference in operation.
– I understand that this is a functional prototype close to production model for sale, rather than a finished product.
– There is no ETA for the final version.
– The price takes this into account
– I’ve read the installation guide, and I understand it.
– For test purposes, the ESP32 is soldered onto the board with buzzer.
– The board is tested before shipment.
– I remain solely responsible for the installation and use of Methylene FAT.
– I understand that additional preparation time may be required due to the manual production of this first batch.
– Flux or solder residues may be visible, but nothing that would prevent the board from working properly.

Description

PS2 Methylene takes the hassle out of repairing your old DualShock 2, by allowing you to use modern controllers, thanks to Blueretro! the controllers that Blueretro supports, Methylene supports!
This standalone version integrates the ESP32 module flashed with the specific version of Blueretro for Methylene (you have to solder it on Methyelene board) , so you don’t have to worry about programming. If you already have an ESP32 and the necessary programming, the Methylene BASIC version will do just fine!

NEW revision of Methylene! The design has been improved to allow the board to fit flat, and it’s now a rigid board. Be careful not to apply too much tension, and don’t press too hard during installation – there’s deliberately some leeway.

Features:

  • Bluetooth pairing of modern controllers
  • Internal installation
  • Port connection indicator LEDs (visible only for testing without shell and from the back)
  • Wired controller connection detection, no more conflicts with wired controllers and internal Blueretro installation
  • Remote console power-up via Bluetooth with a previously paired controller
  • Remote console shutdown by keystroke combination
  • Bluetooth update as for Blueretro
  • Included in first batch: OPTIONAL: you can add a small speaker (speaker you might find in an old PC, for example), to have a startup/reset/shutdown sound

Compatible with PS2 FAT models:

  • SCPH390xx
  • SCPH390xx
  • SCPH550xx
  • … FATs with a controller connection card as indicated in the installation guide.

The installation process consists of soldering the board on the controller pad board and 1 wire to VCC from power supply and another wire to reset button (or mother board reset point like modchip). If you’ve already soldered a chip, this is theoretically easier.
You can check the installation guide here.
