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
  • 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 board under the motherboard. If you’ve already soldered a chip, this is theoretically easier.
