I got a really new boxed PSOne and it didn’t work. It wasn’t play any disc :-(

So i decided to do a complete recap of the smd caps.

I used a lot of ceramic caps and for the 220u new SMD caps

when using The!Cart or MyIDE II with atari you need to do a mod of some signals

Only Cut one circuit and add a wire and you are done
