Hi !
I’ve adapted Eric Helgeson’s BlueSCSI board to snap directly onto the back of a CPS3 mainboard - no ribbon cable needed.
This fully replaces the original CD-ROM reader and can be used to flash games, boot games, etc., just like the original drive. The SD card stores the ISO images, and there is no complex configuration.
I made a bunch of them, they are tested with a CPS3 Darksoft cart and the SD card is setup and included: it's plug'n'play.
60€ (shipping excluded)
Shipping to:
- France is 5€
- most European countries is between 5€ and 12€
- UK is 19€
- USA is 35€
- Canada is 35€
Why this mod ?

Why this mod ?
- Cleaner install: custom shape matches the CPS3 PCB, so it clips right on.
- Better reliability: eliminates loose cables.
- BlueSCSI firmware compatible: microSD-based “drives” and firmware updates via USB-C.
- No need for jumper configuration, its preconfigured for CPS3.
- Slim enough to go within plexi/metal cases, it's lower than the SIMMS memories.
- It's available ! BlueSCSI are quite complicated to get at a reasonable price, at least in Europe.
