Worklog The PiiSP

Well now that it is possible, I guess someone has to do it.

Ideally would like to not have to modify the thickness of the PSP case, but I'm not sure if that is possible yet. It will certainly be a tight fit and will probably have a thin ass heatsink. I'm hoping this will be a quick side project with little trouble. Basically just the motherboard work left to do.

Awwww yisss

Hot. This will be awesome!

How are the buttons held in place? Some sort of 3d printed parts?

I'm guessing you won't try batteries? I bet lithium polymer would work, but the thickness would be huge.

Just some scrap plastic pieces super glued together. Then I usually cover everything in epoxy for good measure once it's complete.

Will be keeping this one a handheld. I tried looking for a decent shaped battery with a decent capacity but couldn't find a setup I was happy with. Anyway, I'm hoping this project will be complete soon as I have other projects I need to start (BitBuilt competition).

Wow, so basically, you're going to take it from "remember that time Ashen shoved a GameCube in a PSP case?" To "Remember that time Gman shoved a Wii inside a PSP case?" Haha, both achievements are/will be awesome, can't wait to see this! Good luck

When you realize you cut the Wii smaller than a credit card

Spoiler: Porn

 

[ShockSlayer]

oh yeah mr krabs.

NOT THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM TRIM THOUGH SO I DON'T ACCEPT IT.

SMALLER DAMN IT

Almost fits with a decent heatsink thickness, probably not going to use those small ram heatsinks, I'll build a new one. If I can relocate the tallest components on the screen I might even get it to close without modifying the volume of the PSP. I'm not exactly sure the placement of the SD slot which is why the wires are so long right now, considering switching to a micro SD slot.

Shiiet, thats small. Maybe use a Sony memory stick for storage for the extra psp feel. There's adapters for micro SD card to memory stick so I think they are interchangable.

I probably only have room to fit the SD card in the middle. The regulators take up room and I still need to put the shoulder buttons in and the audio amp

 

[Angel Figueroa]

Now that's impressive haha! Nice works dood!

 

[Gman]

Now how the hell am I going to get this to close...

[Chaossy]

And then this?

 

[ShockSlayer]

FELIX??!?!?

 

[Gman]

Micro SD slot coming in clutch

Doesn't close all the way? Oh well It's better air flow

"Remember that time ashen put a GameCube in a PSP"

Remember that time Gman put a Wii in a PSP without a custom spacer?



Looks real good, amazing work thus far!
