DTL H2000 hardware reverse engineering

Nicolas 'Pixel' Noble edited this page Feb 26, 2020 · 20 revisions

On the DTL-H2000, the SBUS of the PlayStation has several buffers and level translators, unlike the retail hardware. Tracing through it is therefore a bit more difficult.

The most important piece of information however is probably the pinout of the 100 pins bridge over the two cards. Note that most of these signals won't go directly to their respective devices, but instead will go over level translators. These will be noted in the table below.
