The PlayStation sends commands to the controller and the controller responds with the status of the buttons and joysticks.
The command and data is read by the microcontroller and after some checks to see if the button combo has been pressed, it will reset the PlayStation.
The communication is almost exactly like SPI, which is why I’m using it in the later versions of the mod.
The PlayStation 1 reset mod allows you to reset the PlayStation 1 through a combination of button presses.
This is particularly useful if you own a PSIO from Cybdyn System/Mode and x station it will allow you to get back to the MAIN menu without getting up from your couch.
And as of V1.2 it also supports the xStation reset.
The default reset combination is Select + Start + L2 + R2 for digital and analog controllers, A + B + Trigger for a GUNCON.
Since V1.2 the Select + Cross + L2 + R2 combination has been added. It’s used for a longer reset pulse to add support for the xStation by @ramapcsx2 on github / @_ramapcsx2 on twitter.
The button combination for the controllers is:
L2 + R2 + SELECT + START, for a short reset pulse
L2 + R2 + SELECT + CROSS, for a long reset pulse, since V1.2
Parts list:
Only two components needed for this mod: the microcontroller and one capacitor.
1x 16F18325; 14-SOIC package
1x 0.1µF 16V; 1206 or 0.1µF 16V; 0805 or 0.1µF 16V; 0603 package
*Note: Capacitor smd sizes:
1206 = 0.125 in × 0.06 in | 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm
0805 = 0.080 in × 0.05 in | 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm
0603 = 0.060 in × 0.03 in | 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm
If you don’t have a lot of experience soldering I recommend going for the 1206.
How to install this is a 1 wire install only!!!
1.Remove the six screws from bottom of your playstation
2.Unplug the flex cable from the ps1 controller board
3.Remove the screws holding the port to the bottom of the case
4.Solder the pcb to the back of the controller port
5.Then solder 1 wire to the rst (reset pad) on the pbc board
6.Then solder the other end of the rst wire to the reset point on the motherboard and you are done “
7. Put everything back together again
