My DTL-H30001 "TEST" PS2

[HONGXING]

What I find really interesting, it's a NTSC/UC debugging station, but has got an european power-supply with 230V/50Hz...
It also states on the back that it's 230V/50Hz.
And the warranty seal has not been broken -
so it must have been there from beginning.

china and australia have 220V power supplies too so maybe it's not a europpean one.

[Tachikoma]

True, but Australia is a PAL region, and to some extent is true for some Chinese console variations (I think).

[pit56]

of course australia is Pal region but europe too so...
i don't know country with NTSC U/C signal ith a 220 power supply, maybe for a studio in europe who devellop NTSC games before Pal games (UBISOFT ? )

[Calpis]

Asian consoles as of late use NTSC/220V.

[dj898]

Korea uses 220 VAC...
they used to run both 110/220 VAC till couple of years ago but now they switched to 220 VAC as standard...

[LeGIt]

UK *mostly* uses 240v, though if you're buying some really heavy duty kick ass power tools such as DeWALT (especially for outdoor/construction work) to reduce the chance of death corded devices can be bought in 110v - the downside being you need an industrial transformer which can survive a few hits to stepdown the current from 240v to 110v. It's better than using a 240v drill outdoors and something happening to the electrics resulting in :death

[dj898]

umm... most of tools sold around here are 240 VAC...
not a pleasant thought mate... :-(

[CJPC]

But what I dont get, its at 30001, but European? kinda weird!!!

[Zilog Jones]

It must be for European developers to do localisation testing, as the majority of them do release their games in North America - hence the "U/C". The majority of TV sets sold these days here are NTSC compatible, plus they can just use RGB anyway, so using one here wouldn't be a problem.

[ASSEMbler]

Your unit was from korea I believe.

[HONGXING]

What I also find odd, is that is plays PS2 games (master discs and originals) in the correct region, hence a PAL game in PAL.

But it plays ALL PS1 games, regardless of what region in NTSC!

So, what I got is a Korean debugger? Interesting :-)

Meh i always find 110v equipment lacking in clout such as heat guns. :smt067

The best power tools are pheumatic :smt023

[Calpis]

IMO the best power tools use AA batteries, I'm not afraid of those ones ;)

[dj898]

hmm... I wonder if any of you've bought PS2 Test from assembler got NTSC unit instead of PAL?

Got mine today but it's PAL unit instead of NTSC? :smt022
maybe someone's out there wondering why they received NTSC unit instead of PAL unit? o_O

oh well... hope PAL unit has no issue to run NTSC-U/NTSC-J titles coz that was the reason I wanted NTSC PS2Test in the first place...

still top block. :smt023
thanks to him I got hold of my own PS2 Test...

cheers

Ive got a small kick ass soldering iron that runna off AAs runns hotter then a 110v

mine's portable one runs off gas... :-D

[Tomcat]

yeh but i cant use gas on aircraft :smt022

[dj898]

huh? mate what were you doing on airplane welding soldering iron? o_O

[Tomcat]

lol you can get soldering iron that run off lighter fuel thought thats what u ment.

Some aircraft still have solderd joints :angry why????? there shit
