Anyone who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is clearly a liar, because a modder in Florida has taught Sony’s first PlayStation console how to do some pretty unexpected things. Specifically, the tinker used a bunch of hot glue and magnetic wire to turn a home system into a handheld console.
Yveltal Griffin, an electrical engineer who has previously built Cute and portable Wii In April 2021, I will return with another work. This time, they took the OG PlayStation, removed the motherboard, and turned it into a portable console. This is a cool hardware innovation, as YveltalGriffin had to get really creative to make the build possible. They call it “PS Hanami“.
First, consider the PS1 itself.In order to fit a large motherboard into a small case, YveltalGriffin had to cut it in half and Fold it like a book. This allowed them to squeeze it into a portable console that’s only seven inches long. YveltalGriffin uses “a lot of hot glue” and “a lot of magnet wire”Embrace lag“Complete the entire project within a month.
Even more impressive is the way PS Hanami runs the game. Since the device was too small for an optical drive, YveltalGriffin made it run Xstation, an optical drive emulator that launches games from an SD card. Combined with an open-source resolution scaler called Shinobi (for sharper images) and the DualShock’s rumble feature, this feels like a retro gamer’s dream handheld.
YveltalGriffin admitted that PS Hanami does have some major issues at the moment. It has no volume controls, the power button is finicky and turns off the console when it hits something, and it doesn’t include an analog stick (although YveltalGriffin might one day make one)Modified version” For games that require them, e.g. ape escape). It also only has about two and a half hours of battery life on a single charge, and since it has zero heat sinks, its battery life is pretty bad and they say it “gets nice and hot after a while.”
my city YveltalGriffin has been contacted for comment.
Despite these flaws, YveltalGriffin’s PS Hanami is still a remarkable achievement.have a look This video they uploaded to YouTube Show handheld device is running Final Fantasy VII. Now I just have one question for them: How can I buy it?
