Build suggestion: PSP consolized!

medtalhead

Ben, knowing you take large form factor electronics and make them portable, why not do something different and make something small bigger.

Would love to see a consolized PSP with controller that connected to a tv. I have a psp but was never overly happy with the analog stick and button layout.

I love watching your show on YouTube, and the modified game consoles are by far my favorites ( I enjoy all your content though.)

To the people reading this post, reply to this thread with a "heck yeah" to get this made.

Thanks.

  • I just would like to see Ben make one because I think it would be cool. I wouldn't have one myself because it's not for me. so this is not a selfish goal at all , other than I like watching Ben Heck build stuff. He made a three in one console and anyone can argue the reason that shouldn't been made, but was awesome nonetheless. Please don't look more into this request than me just wanting to see one made.

    It is a great idea. Please do not let anything I have said discourage your idea. If anyone could do it, Ben Heck can. His work to restore that PS1 SNES Prototype Console is amazing. And he is like a doctor when it comes to case mods on game consoles.

     

    It would be interesting to see a project like this for a few reasons. The UMD was a great portable media format. The movies are DVD quality, and there were many movies released in the UMD format. Each UMD has a protective shell. A few games or movies can easily fit in a pocket. And there are many games that were released for the PSP. Because the UMD has a protective shell, many of the games still available used on sites like Ebay will be in good condition.  It would be cool to design it into a PS1 or PS2 and use the controllers. But there are the challanges of getting video and audio to the television with the PSP 1001.

     

    A giant PSP like the Giant Game Boy would be awesome.

    If I was Ben Heck, my house would be a video game.
