Hi all,
I've lurked on the forums for a long time, but I finally decided to become legitimate and join your secret society! Now that I'm on the inside... I wanted to share an idea with you all. Feel free to laugh uncontrollably at me, but nonetheless--
I have two Playstation consoles, one that I use, and one that has a broken lid spring that I don't use. I want to repurpose the one that I don't use into a portable. I've seen that the PS2 is by far the more popular portable candidate, but I just wanted to know if the PS1 is just as worthy?
I have some stuff laying around... here's the shortlist:
-PSone (the miniature one) console
*besides the motherboard and controller ports, what all has to come out of the console?
-3rd Party Controller
-Powerboost (from Adafruit)
-a 5'' screen, but I don't know if it's compatible yet.
I know I need batteries and some speakers (recommendations are welcome)... but... I guess I need a little insight on those; I see that a lot of forum-goers use these batteries with a pastel green coat to them. They look really cool and exotic (to me)! Are they special for this application?
For the enclosure... is vacuum forming something accessible for a newbie?
I'm sorry for throwing so many questions out... I'm eager to begin work... but I also don't want to step on a bunch of landmines.
Thanks for any and all help.
