PSX Controller Connector 3D Model / Footprint seems wrong

[ottelo9]

Hi. I'm currently make my own psx converter pcb for my new retro project PSXKEY (like sneskey).

When I tried to use your footprint/3d model, I noticed that the cutouts in the board don't quite match the PS1/2 connectors you can order on AliExpress. The connectors are wider. I also noticed that the 3D model is oriented incorrectly. The side with the rounded edge needs to face down. That’s how the connectors are actually installed in the PS1/PS2, and that’s how they’re shipped from AliExpress.

Your project is a bit older now, but I wanted to leave this information here for everyone else.

Well, the 3D model is just an indication, it never matched the connectors perfectly. I am unable to do 3D drawing and that is all I could find. Feel free to provide a better one if you can.

Althogh, the cutout should be ok for those connectors you show, they seem to be the same ones I was using then I originally came up with this project.

Oh, okay. Right now I only have a really old PS1 connector, and it's much wider. It wouldn't fit in the cutout . But the black connectors I ordered should be here soon, so I can measure it then.
