Interested in the real one too. I just created the account and can not DM you.Hey bro, lol you mean "a real MX4SIO", created here by the PSX-Place Devs / Team (Takeshi, Maximus32, Wisi, TnA, Anakin94) ...not Bitfunx, not MC2SIO, but the real authentic MX4SIO. For me this MX4SIO version works perfectly on my 77K slim with OPL BDM3, and has been working every day. Also, i sent the original version to many members here in PSX-Place and it's working fine.
If you want one, "a real MX4SIO"...then please just message me anytime, i have some at the moment
Thanks mate. I found my old PS2 in my parents house and want to revive those old good times.Hi @SpacialMonkey ...will aim to message you now bro
Hey bro, i understand what you are saying, it's just why didn't they follow the Devs' designs, using their recommended BOM list of components? I know why that is, it's because some of the components on the Devs' list for MX4SIO are expensive (due to being high quality) and these people were more interested in making a profit (big profit) while capitalising on the name "MX4SIO".
To the unsuspecting buyer, they think they're getting the original PSX-Place Devs' MX4SIO creation, when that's not true. And anytime these clones have problems due to using less and cheaper components (cutting corners basically) then it's MX4SIO and the Devs hard work here that takes the hit.
If those people reproduced the original MX4SIO, 100% to the original specs, then i wouldn't have a problem with it at all. I have a problem with people giving MX4SIO a bad name due to their drive for money / profits / corner cutting.
The Devs' designed MX4SIO to be the very best it could be for the end user, and then some middle men came along and ruined that hard work. Even to the point of sending their sub-par quality product to many Youtubers to review, but not under the project's real name and location (here in PSX-Place), but instead they re-branded the product as their own. For example, MC2SIO is more known than MX4SIO now.
Angry Helder was plugging his product to Youtubers (with links to buy from his website), not advertising the original project. The whole idea was people could come here and make their own d.i.y MX4SIO version, or use the gerber and BOM files available to make their own high quality version of MX4SIO + 3D printed case.
Many of you know i have done free MX4SIO give aways here on PSX-Place, another one is coming very soon (all being well) with 128GB Toshiba Exceria MicroSD cards, called the "MX4SIO Ultra Pack", because i want to give the community the original high quality MX4SIO just as the devs' had intended it to be. I also sell a few here and there to the PSX-Place community members, but i barely break even with all the costs + time + efforts, i'm just one guy with a very small bank account.
It would be really great if more people would re-produce the Devs' original high quality MX4SIO for people to buy, so we can have some balance out there. The clones took over because they are being mass-produced on the cheap (by using less components, a compromised design, and what few components they do use are of low quality) by people in the USA and in China. Some people promised to help fund the manufacturing of lots of original high quality MX4SIO to be sold at a very reasonable price, but they failed to deliver and i never heard from them again, and that's a shame. If i won the lottery i would mass produce high quality MX4SIOs 100% to the devs' specs, and flood the market selling them for a bargain.
R. I'd love to start selling these things, but I need a case that works! Can anyone help me with getting reliable prints with lower print times per case or point me in the right direction to get a box of cases made up for these things? I can still make a profit even if I pay a grand or more for 300 cases, and I assume a couple of dollars per for 300 isn't ridiculous to expect?
Something you could consider is printing it in a resin. If you're looking to make more in less time, a large resin printer could make multiple cases at once and take no more time than it would take to print a single case.Resin printers print the entire layer all at once, so the amount of time it takes is determined by how many layers, not how much materialI totally agree with you man, I had 300 of these made to the specs on your sheet on page 1 and they are still sitting in a box in my house because I haven't been able to print a decent case for them yet, and I don't want to sell them until I can get them to a certain standard and not cheap out.
To that end, I purchased an Ender 5 and I've printed out a few cases now but I can't seem to get one that fits perfectly and I'm having issues with the side walls of the cases separating from the bases at the layer transitions.
I'm wondering if you can point me to anyone who has had success in printing cases with an Ender style printer with repeatable success, my other problem is that just printing out a single case takes an hour or more, so I am also on the look out for somewhere to make me 300 molded cases to fit the board at a good price but also in decent quality, and here in Australia it seems places that do this are few and far between.

i will DM you now with details of a 3D printing company where you can get a free online quote I've been thinking of getting a resin printer, but I had already spent on the ender and it means changing my whole procedure and the mess etc... Even so I'm still thinking about it for the exact reasons you mention. If I can't find an economical solution I'll probably go down that route just to start selling these things and at least get my money back on the investment! Cheers.
Sounds like I probably need to do that anyway, though .06mm layer heights would take me 3 hours to print a single case, I would be looking for the quickest I can print while still having a decent result, an hour per case is bad enough at the moment! I'm also assuming a resin printer might actually take longer and need lots of clean up as well. Here's hoping I can dial in some settings then! I do have the BL touch so at least leveling isn't too bad. I seem to be OK with the extruder now that I know where to adjust the tension, but if that ever becomes a problem that adjustments don't fix, I'll be looking for that upgrade I think, though i might go direct extruder if I do upgrade I reckon.
Interested in getting this "real" one also, I had thought I got a real one on the suggestion of a youtube video. Macho Nacho starts his video showing psx place but the link its to helder.Hey bro, lol you mean "a real MX4SIO", created here by the PSX-Place Devs / Team (Takeshi, Maximus32, Wisi, TnA, Anakin94) ...not Bitfunx, not MC2SIO, but the real authentic MX4SIO.

If you want one, "a real MX4SIO"
I'm still fuzzy about the MX4SIO vs MC2SIO comparison, I'm a little confused again because you mention the MC2SIO is the "fake" one but that is the one I got the file from on the front page of this very forum and sent to the manufacturers to be made. Then I found the other files for the MX version and was told they are basically identical when I asked about it.Hi @SpacialMonkey ...will aim to message you now bro
Actually it does but for me it lists only CD folder without showing cases and spitting an error 'the item couldn't be run' or something. So there is hope MX4SIO will get proper exFAT support.
My apologies, I meant the SIO2SD is the one I got. Bloody typos!
IIRC there is one particular beta 1.2.0 that listed all games and even run one (without MC being detected) when I was forcefully checking what cluster size for exFAT works with USB drive. But kik meh in da nootz I don't remember which one. XD
