First off, I want to apologize for not updating this blog for a few weeks, I’ve started a new job and things have been hectic getting up to speed on things. But life is starting to calm down, and more importantly, I’ve received the first PSX64 PCB, soldered on the chips, uploaded the firmware, and it works!

There are a few changes to make to the board, mainly due to the pinout of available parts (I have a large stock of voltage regulators that are a different pinout than how the board is configured). I’m also going to use rectangular headers with stress relief connectors for the PSX and DB9 cables so they can take more tugging (as opposed to soldering them directly to the board). However, these changes aren’t major and don’t require another single-board run. The next run will be a batch of 10-30 boards, which will then be available for purchase! I suspect it will be about 4 weeks or so.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up on the notification list, it won’t be too much longer now!
