So hello i dont know mutch about makeing protables i wanna make a ps2 portable what do i need?
P. S. I have a ps2 slim ps2 controller and some other stuf
 
First you need to check the revision of your console because the trimming guide for the ps2 use a specific revision:
The Definitive PS2 Trimming Guide | BitBuilt - Giving Life to Old Consoles
Check it for be sure.
Next,you will probaply an Uamp2 from 4layerTech and a ps2 voltage regulator board like this one:
Release - Ps2 voltage regulator board | BitBuilt - Giving Life to Old Consoles
You also can use the open source project from @Gman (the ps2+)for the controller here:
GitHub - Gmanmodz/Ps2Plus: PS2 controller emulator designed for the PIC16F18876
You also need a Free McBoot card for hacking the ps2,but you can buy it on ebay for 10 bucks.
And you need to launch you into 3d modeling and pcb design because I don't know any portables ps2 who is open source.

P.S:I probably forget some other things,please check the documentation and other ps2 worklogs.

Hope it's useful:)

EDIT;My bad, @Customledmods already done an open-source ps2 portables

There's many PS2 portables already existing that you can follow, one of the best I've seen being Customledmods' mentioned above, but you could also design your own. Some of the things you should start thinking about before you start though, is how you want the shape of it to be, and what type of batteries you want in it. Good luck on your portable whenever you start it, I'm excited to see some updates in the future :)
 
Ist there any Problem with using a ps2 Controller for the Joysticks and the Buttons?
My portable uses psp buttons and dpad I included the step files you can modify it to fit whatever buttons you’d like.
