W00tLOL's project =done

w00tLOL · Post by **w00tLOL** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 2:01 am

hey there.

heres the deal, im building my second psone portable(as the first was stretching the definition of 'portable')

anyway, i have a (non working) psone board and drive (needs a new 17.735mhz crystal)

im using a 7" screen (because i plan to swap out the psone with a ps2slim)

ive gutted the controller and put the analogue sticks on cable - tested, works fine

batteries, well here we go i got the batteries out of an old ibook battery (they still work fine) 3500mah ~3.6v each and wired them into 2 packs and those will be in parallel for a massive 14000mah 7.2v

it will have video out and both controller ports

pictures will come when i start the case

ok, its almost done, il post some pictures when its painted.

my first portable was the size of an xbox and made from flimsy plastic...

this one is the size of a ps2 (not slim) and made from rather thick plywood

im using a 7" screen on this one because i had it laying around, the screen is removable so it can be re-used on something that plays nice with 16:9
(the screen can show 4:3 in a little box though, so its fine for a ps1)

its heavy, thick and uglier than my ingrown toenail, but its a 'portable' playstation.

pictures to come soon.

my next project will be a gamecube( i have a gamecube with a blown power supply) it will be ripped to shreds and flattened out and put into the thinnest case i can.

i gues after that il go all out and build the psone in my avatar, i now have access to cheap 3d printing so i should be able to make a custom case

I can't wait to see what you've done so far! Sounds like battery life won't ever be a problem for you

Pictures, now!

That will result in 14000mAh and 3.6V.. unless there are 4 batteries..

Yes, you're right - are the batteries wired in series? Tell us some more about your setup. Just want to make sure you're adding it up right.

double post,

the paint still needs work, but its almost done
here are some pictures of this beast

(i hope they aren't to big, these are shrunk to about 30%)

ive begun designing my next portable, a gamecube, flattened out, something that will actually benefit from the 16:9 screen

then i may upgrade this portable with a ps2 slim board (yes theres room)

ps: can i has portablizer now? plzkthx

It looks clean but maybe you could paint the screen and box same colour also the wires kinda make me cry but good job just my way of hopefully being constructive.

lol, the wires make me cry too. but it works

when i put the pstwo in i'll organise the wires

That's fantastic! Excellent job!

I think the different color for the screen's housing makes it stand out. It's a design feature

I really like how you incorporated the original lid - well done!

w00tLOL · Post by **w00tLOL** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:55 am

im going to use the original lid for my gamecube as well, im going to call it the gameslab. begause it will be a long landscape design using a flattened gamecube.

i also just got a free n64+ 3 controllers and 10 games (including original gold ocarina of time and majoras mask games)

Nice work!

These buttons look kind of painful to press, though

awesome, good job getting the lid in there so well too. looks really good

it's nice to see a psp there really aren't to many

also looking forward to seeing your GCp

w00tLOL · Post by **w00tLOL** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 5:41 am

thanks guys, i think next might be an n64 as i got it free with 3 controllers and some games.. im up for a challenge.

then the gcp, il use wood for the n64 case, but the gamecube will be done properly (friend with a 3d printer

)

wish me luck

edit: the buttons arent all that bad, im going to epoxy the original buttons over those sometime soon
