Methylene BASIC need flashed ESP32 to operate, not included in BASIC version
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!
If you’re a modder, or if you’d like to program your ESP32 yourself, but don’t want to worry too much about wiring and installing the detection circuit, Methylene’s BASIC version is for you! It’s the same as the STANDALONE version, without the ESP32, which you can get for cheap, the specific version of blueretro is available in the installation guide.
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.
Main features :
- Bluetooth pairing of modern controllers
- Internal installation
- Port connection indicator LEDs
- 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
- 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 Slim models:
- SCPH700xx
- SCPH750xx
- SCPH770xx
- SCPH790xx (not recommended: need to cut the shell for one hole)
- SCPH900xx (not recommended: as the space under the motherboard is even more restricted than on the other models, the removal of the ESP32’s metal capsule improves this)
The installation process consists of soldering the flex under the motherboard. If you’ve already soldered a modchip, this is theoretically easier.
