a lot of folks sent this in, so we’ll put it up here, so it’s always here in our console section…the playstation 2 portable project. an amazing hack, taking a psone, and using a PS2’s guts to make a portable version, nicely done.

So awesome!
hmm, way to read Slashdot…
From what I read, there is NO PSOne parts in this machine. There is a PSOne portable *screen*, but the case is completely made from scratch.
Anyone know of something similar, but perhaps with more of a step-by-step format?
this is a very good hack.
and also, i want to know how to get my hands on the hack that he shows
that is a “snes portable”
he states that he is using the snes portable only to use it’s screen.
so if anyone knows about this hack or knows the guy tell him to post it here please!
well… this is a great concept but really, whats the point with the psp round the corner? it will probably be easier to just hack the psp roms (media cards i mean)… well of course it will be, they are media! :)
Step-by-step instructions @ : http://www.benheck.com/ and scroll down to the Portable Playstation 2.
OK thats cool but he should do another one using the new smaller PS2 cause it would be less clunky
to #4: someone else who made one made a step by step guide that you could find by searching the forums on benheck.com
to #8: it is the smaller one. of course it’s gonna be chunky, it has to fit PS2 motherboard, screen with pcb, batteries(take lots of room), custom circut board for controls, original controller pcb, speakers, DVD drive, and a whole lot of wires
Can somebody please tell me how I can hack my P/S 2 to enable me to play P/S1 games???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…
i see
but when it come to the portable ps2
the thing is made from a ps1
but…
well i dont know how that would work
…
…
i mean you would need some sort of a
adapter to keep it running.
…
the olny thing thats the right size for that
would be a tx-789 adapter
if anybody has any qustions
about this
or anything email me
