Test of HD CONNECT
If you have a PSTWO and that you wish to use a hard disk until now you did not have an other choice only to use software USB EXTREME. Indeed it there more site reserved for the hard disk as in the old PS2. Ancienne PS2 USB EXTREME enables you to use a hard disk on port USB of the console but the major disadvantages of the product are its slowness and its lack of compatibility with the majority of the plays (see the article of Hackchip).Pour this reasons the TEAM Xtender has concu a product which makes it possible to use a hard disk IDE on the PSTWO. All proudly our site was selected like site French beta-tester. Why? And well because in beta-tester, there is tester and also... beta! -) Thank you at the company Farmer Entertainment to have allowed us to make this test. Here the conclusions of the first test carried out but this test will be followed of another, you will include/understand why further... What has you there it in the box? What has surprised me be to receive a large yellow envelope. In fact this large envelope contained the HDCONNECT but also a case for PSTWO color argent.Si I received the case like the other beta-testers (hello with all) it is not right to be sympathetic even if it is about their elegant model XCM Silver but this case is bored in particular for the HDCONNECT the case silver and the logo Except the case there were the accessory which you can see on the photograph It acts of a tablecloth or rather of two tablecloths which take again the points located on the mother chart to off-set them on a standard connector IDE as well as a tablecloth IDE 40 broches/80 conducting. Delivered with these two tablecloths two live with a spacer. Do the contents of the sachet (except case) Comment Ca go? In fact produces it of the TEAM Xtender quite simply allows, if I dare statement, to use the interface IDE which is present on the mother chart of the PSTWO. Without being critical, HD CONNECT it is only that, of the connector industry very well studied. The tablecloths come on a side to be welded onto the mother chart of the console and other side to connect on a kind of fixed connector IDE which is fixed then on the cap. For the crafty one which would not like to buy HD CONNECT there remains always the possibility of passing from these connected and to weld wire one by one onto the mother chart but I wish him courage well... How to assemble it? First stage your console to remove the cap, once the released mother chart you dismount will be able to tackle the weldings. Remade then the opposite step to go up the PSTWO with the new cap. Case XCM put flat on the carpet... The weldings Like always on the PS2 and PSTWO it is not with the range of the come first and thus it is not done for me. The points of weldings are very small and require very few weldings. It is not as simple as to weld a chip onto Gamecube or a PS1, malheureusement.Donc you do not delay with your soldering iron and as usual a soldering iron 15W and fine welding are necessary. Tablecloths of precision and trés studied Each tablecloth has points of welding (in gray on the photographs). If you heat too much, Ca melts... ... once welded With regard to the connector industry, using small flat-nose pliers, bend two legs of the metal plate which protects the mother chart. Thus you will avoid gripping the cables in tablecloth accidentally. Then make pass these two cables through the ventilation grille and fix them at connector HDCONNECT. It any more but does not remain to screw it on the case with the two screws and spacers. On left twisted legs, the medium the spacer and on the right tablecloths. The hard disk It is enough to connect the tablecloth on a hard disk into external and to feed that-ci.Le external hard disk will require a food séparée.Pour the tests an external case was used with its food, but one could as well use port USB of the PSTWO for the food but I do not have testé.En not made for me V12 do not have a 12V. And moreover is well advised? If not there are converters USB IDE with built-in food... The tablecloth is unfortunately too short. For which reason? To avoid having too many interferences, for questions of cost? In any case my tests a longer tablecloth was used successfully. According to discs' one will be able to also use a tablecloth 40 pins. The difference between 40 wire and 80 wire is related to the hard disk, the standard Ultra ATA or Ultra DMA requires a special cable 40-pins, 80-drivers which reduces the interferences and improves the integrity of the signal by providing 40 lines of masses suplémentaires.La quality of the signal is thus improved, the transfers are more reliable and more rapides..si well on your hard disk is of this technologie.Mais it is of course the case for a new disc. Recognizable C鈈le IDE 80 wire with the connectors noir/gris/bleu the external hard disk will require a food séparée.Pour the tests an external case was used with its food, but one could as well use port USB of the PSTWO for the food but I did not test. And moreover is this well advised? If it is right to test you can use the connector of food MOLEX of a PC with the opening cap... Of course it is also possible to use a hard disk 2,5 inches... Since our news at the end of April one knows in which form produces it will be marketed. If one sticks to information dispo on their sites, there will be three products, the first will be a simple kit to assemble oneself (tablecloths and connector), the second will be a kit with wiring and electronics (???), and finally the last package will include/understand in more cap XCM and one food for the hard disk. The contents of the second kit seem to me erroneous and I think rather of three packages, a container the connector, the second with the case and the last with a case and a food for the hard disk. Addition A the date of May 17 only the complete kit is marketed:connector + case + alim. For those which are due to their PSTwo case, they will be able to also use a standard case and another method to fix connector IDE of the hard disk: stick superglue or by boring the case... with precaution well on! How much that coute? The TEAM Xtender announced that the pre-orders for the HDCONNECT were open. The price even if it is not yet known will have to be around the 60 euros in my opinion. This price it will be necessary for you quite naturally to add to add a supplied external case which will coutera in the 40 euros and a hard disk. A model IDE of 40 Go coute approximately 50 euros. The addition rises already with 150 euros. Let us announce that the installation is not simple and will have to be carried out by a layer of chip qualified (see chart) because of the smoothness of the points of welding. The final cost will be thus high... Software? The test was carried out on V12 equipped with a Crystal chip in which one installs a hard disk already formatted that functions. It is the same with a chip DMS4 equipped with bios TOXIC OS, history to satisfy all monde.Mais it each time at the restarting the hard disk is not recognized more... Thus that becomes complicated and to set up HD CONNECT on a PSTwo console requires a patché HDLOADER/HDADVANCE which to date is not available. Of course without the chip, that does not go not plus.Zer0-X must put on line this patch from here peu.Il will probably act of a patch on one of the bookshops of the SDK but I can be mistaken. Once this disadvantage put on side, we could not note any difference with PS2.En summarized, excellent produced and soon the second test with the patch... |
