Raspberry Pi 2 B Power Switch Soldering Help

Take a photo of what you've done. I assume when you say "psx" you mean psone? (The slim ps1)

I have to assume you have the switch wired such, that it's simply shorting the power supply when the switch is in the "on" position.

You can measure the voltage of the PSU with the meter set to the "20" range, in the "DCV" section.

I assume you have to rotate the connections to the switch 90 degrees, but you'll have to confirm this for yourself.

If you're not sure how to use a multimeter, have a look on youtube

Your first picture makes my eyes bleed.  My god, what happened to that poor board?  

He ground through the copper on the board so he could use it to still mount the switch in the correct place.

Of course, he had already removed all the components, so this probably wasn't needed :hammer:

I've pulled apart one of my PS1's because I couldn't figure out how you're making this so difficult.

The led you've left on the switch board isn't connected to anything, so I assume this isn't the led you're talking about lighting up.

The contacts switch from one side to the other, not front to back....

In other words, if you have the board sitting in front of you, as it would sit in the PS1, the left contacts are the "input" and the right contacts are the "output"

Meaning, the way you have it wired above, you're simply shorting out the power supply, and the wire points need to be rotated 90 degrees...

This is the "PSX"

I'm sure you'd try.... I'm sure you'd try.....

So far I've tried two Playstation 1 games on my Raspberry Pi, and one of them was unbearably bad, I couldn't stand trying to play it, the emulation was just wrong.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the settings
