This PlayStation Handheld Never Existed

In an alternate dimension, Sony made a portable handheld during the original PlayStation generation. It had the ability to play PS1 titles, but on the go. Let’s take a look at the PlayStation Phantom, Sony’s predecessor to the PSP!

2:43 Really cool how you were able to get footage of your actual conversation with Kyle.

[bluesmokegamer]

I think Tito is adding layers of shirts waiting for us to notice :P

[JC-jihp]

Awesome stuff man. The modding community is such a blessing to behold and be a part of

[rastamouse]

I think swapping the speaker and battery could have been the ticket especially with the high quality small speakers that are out there. Also you could probably down clock the cpu in the raspberry pi since it's overpowered for PS1 and squeezed more playtime out of a 1000 - 1200 mah battery sitting where the speaker now lives. That being said, you all did a great job designing this thing. I could see people using this board with 3D printed shells to replicate this project and tweaking the design to perfect a great concept.

"I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having fun" 10:40 xD

Is it possible to revisit this mod to add the round screen and more battery? That will be wild

[nicholsliwilson]

Fascinating build. I would be very tempted to sacrifice one of these rare controllers for the job & your use of a prebuilt battery controller was neat, I have a bunch of those exact controllers in my parts bin. Well done, it’s a great device.
FYI: 9:20 the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is a standalone SBC, not a compute module.

[blackhawkthepirate]

Would love to see this built from original PS1/PSP parts à la the Frogboy

[KoSLoW]

Tito the intro is so quality ! Good job !

[GaryStewart]

Ever think how wild it is that this Pi powered contraption runs a bright screen and emulation off a rechargeable battery but the Sega Game Gear ate up 6batteries in an hour. What a time to be alive.

[FRMSharma]

Honestly making a new shell with all the stuff in mind would be a better strategy. But then you already have a PSP or Vita to play PS1 games.

[rumbleminze]

I think I what I need is a 10 hour compilation of Tito soldering with the background music. I would leave it up instead of a fake fireplace for the entire holidays

[FatBaldDad]

Hands down, the best modding videos EVER!

( the Macho Nacho videos)

I love all the modders videos but Tito's video have a special place.

[Lando]

I gotta say I really like the speaker placement lol. It may sound weird but that's such a 90s thing. It really completes the look.

[gabrielcaviness]

The remixed intro music was class! I feel like you missed an opportunity for a little in-joke by not having the Lynx at 1:30 jump ever-so-slightly to the left!

[benityo]

as a note, they make router bits with bearings on them that you can adjust. you use the current lip as a guide, and it'll never go past that point. look into it, it would make a lot of trimming projects MUCH cleaner and easier.

[RedFlameFox]

Not having MediEvil OST in this is a big missed opportunity

[Grimloic]

That intro was FIRE! Loved how the theme music kicked in.

[I_SuperHiro_I]

Honestly, this is not fair. I should have to pay for this type of high quality content…..and the theme music is chill as heck.

[Itsmealder]

You guys did amazing!!
Pulling that off !! I can’t wait what the community will end up doing with this open source project
