I think swapping the speaker and battery could have been the ticket especially with the high quality small speakers that are out there. Also you could probably down clock the cpu in the raspberry pi since it's overpowered for PS1 and squeezed more playtime out of a 1000 - 1200 mah battery sitting where the speaker now lives. That being said, you all did a great job designing this thing. I could see people using this board with 3D printed shells to replicate this project and tweaking the design to perfect a great concept.

I think I what I need is a 10 hour compilation of Tito soldering with the background music. I would leave it up instead of a fake fireplace for the entire holidays
YveltalGriffin build a PSone portable called the "PS Hanami" it uses a real and complete board simply cut in the middle and then rewired the two halves back together!
That would be really awesome, and wouldn't require too extreme soldering skills, everything on the PS One is at most QFP packages, no BGAs from my memory. Then again just the CPU alone is like the footprint of that screen, the chips are quite big.

"I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having fun" 10:40 xD
Fascinating build. I would be very tempted to sacrifice one of these rare controllers for the job & your use of a prebuilt battery controller was neat, I have a bunch of those exact controllers in my parts bin. Well done, it’s a great device. FYI: 9:20 the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is a standalone SBC, not a compute module.
Loved the intro Tito! I love DIY projects that turn consoles into handhelds but destroying an obscure and rare controller is not one of them. I think nowadays there's more and better options of doing a project then this route you choose.
Maybe the actual horror part of this project is seeing one of those rare controllers being chopped up! At least the project comes with 3D model files and it's way better to 3D print a replica in this case. I do find the design very cool and it's tempting to make improvements on the idea
Ever think how wild it is that this Pi powered contraption runs a bright screen and emulation off a rechargeable battery but the Sega Game Gear ate up 6batteries in an hour. What a time to be alive.
Yeah but do realize emulation is not like native hardware so it doesn't eat through batteries like crazy. Emulation is just software and software usually don't consume battery that much. Both the Game Gear and Sega Nomad was 100% native hardware in portable form so both will consume batteries much more than an emulation handheld.
as a note, they make router bits with bearings on them that you can adjust. you use the current lip as a guide, and it'll never go past that point. look into it, it would make a lot of trimming projects MUCH cleaner and easier.
As a concept, it's cool. Despite it flaws, I definitely would have wanted one as a teen back in a mid-90's. Would love to see what a 2.0 build could be like with the custom shells and more effican't screens and components. Even a few more millimeters of extra space in the shell could afford a much bigger battery.
Well, it looks nice and seeing this coming to life was great, but that's it. It's mostly about the fun of building, than actually using it for anything. :)
Really good intro, looks amazing and ergonomically comfortable AF. Can't wait for the gloss black, complete circle oled, 3-5 hour Version 2.0. P.s the freedy shirt was sick 🤙
Improvements I wish I could make: -Expand back for better grip and room for bigger battery -Upgrade to a CM4 for more emulation options -Swap to a thinner display with a ribbon cable
The remixed intro music was class! I feel like you missed an opportunity for a little in-joke by not having the Lynx at 1:30 jump ever-so-slightly to the left!
Its a cool setpiece, to show "what could have been". Of course its completely obsolete and impractical, since a Miyoo Mini, with custom buttons performs better and has way more battery.
Here you go, spending my money again, Tito! 😄 I bought one of these controllers today before the price surge from your video hits. I'm super excited to make one of these. I've been toying with the idea after seeing HaiHaiSB post one a year or so ago, but watching your video made my mind up for me. Thanks for the awesome content!
Everything about this goes so hard 😭💚 I'd be curious to know what about the round screen didn't work out in the end? That screen lense is perfection though
Omg the Macho Nacho Annual Halloween Special!! (Omg it's been a year already? o_O ... your last Halloween special feels like 3 weeks ago :D ) Btw,... those CONs are very era-appropriate 90's problems to have. If you could power it with 4 AA batteries to get that 15 mins that would be 100% accurate :D
Dude...Nicely done! I could really see y'all putting the headphone jack at the bottom...and maybe a small microphone speaker at the top where the hole was for the cord. This was an Awesome build. Thanks for sharing
I'd really love to see this improved to fix the small things you mentioned in the video - battery, round display, surface mount components. This could be a truly amazing project with some tweaks. Optimisation of the board design and components, plus that custom shell could easily increase the battery capacity.
Tito I love the product bud. You could always 3d design a battery enclosure that matches the handheld look. Then you can use however big of a battery as you want.
Love how you always provide the necessary info and links if we actually want to build these projects ourselves. Thanks man I think I'm going to try this build myself! I want to do this and try to build a sega neptune based of tge help of your video's! Good work on these video's!
9:00 "Tito don't worry about it, there is more to being a good person than just having a stereo television.. erm handheld, you can do it just the way you are." I would love to see a V2 of this, preferably resin printed with a bigger battery and with that round OLED screen, I am not a big fan of cutting up usable/rare and obscure hardware.
Great project overall. You could have saved some depth by removing those screen connectors. I don't think you'll get a lot of runtime on that battery either. but the screen not being centred in that circle would bug the heck out of me!
Looks amazing but those rubber buttons must be horrible use, like playing with a TV remote control... i think the battery could be behind de screen lens, the plastic could sit a little higher
I'm sure you will find a solution for bigger batteries. Also i think you can use a bigger screen. Also it's a good idea to add analog sticks. Overall is a great idea.
The intro is just outright awesome. So good. The production quality is amazing and the project looks cool, and it makes for a beautiful piece of what-if art, but I think that's it. I don't think it's worth it. Let me explain: in order to do a low-resolution, short-battery-life, monoaural (you'll be mocked in Metal Gear Solid for it) emulation machine that runs noticeably worse than the original, you have unnecessarily destroyed a complete-in-box, pretty rare controller that could be a gem in anyone's collection. I love the fact that you have your own work in the modding / maker space, but I believe that in this case, the grand total is less than the sum of its parts. And with the 3D files to make or print a shell yourself! I honestly think the controller looked better than the final console. It had that cheerful, colorful 90's weird Japanese vibe that I love. And let me reiterate: as a what-if, it's most certainly a cool project. It's almost like what could have happened if Sony had made a big Pocketstation.
Not a bad, but an Impressive Idea to bring the Playstation Phantom to life nonetheless, but the only issue I have is the handling of it. I get the fact that it is like how the PSP is nowadays, but I personally feel that the Controller style like the PS1/PS5 thing really works because you have a handle that can work. So in the near future, Make it more fancier with that handle so it can be easily used.
It's a bloodbath!!! 🙂 Awesome video and portable Tito! It reminds me of the PSOne portable Ben Heck made many many years ago! Your choice of shell was perfect!
It's like that guy who brought that handheld Gamecube render to life. That was so cool. Edit: Wait, you know the guy who built it? Why couldn't you ask him? That GC render to life one, the guy had to hunt down the creator of the Render. GingerOfOz is the YTer's name. Cool video, much like this one in style.
I agree with the idea of a spacer to increase the thickness and the speaker being way too big. I'm wondering why you didn't use a switch speaker and maybe had it fire from the side or something. Maybe get stereo in there? About the battery, I think you can buy ultra thin lithium batteries. They're really flat, but have a lot of surface area. One last idea. I'm not sure it would work. Could you make the pcb flexible and fold it to make extra room? Or have it follow the contours of the shell for extra space that way? That would be pretty sweet. Anyway, I really like this build. Maybe you could do some revisions and have a follow-up video. I think this has so much potential. This is one of my favorite things you've done. Anyway, I'm rambling. Happy Halloween!
Ok this is really cool. Part of me wishes you actually tried to use a PS1 but I understand. I maybe would have tried to fit a sony watchmen LCD If possible. A new rear half of the shelf would probably need to be made.
honestly the parts where you had to make "sacrifices" make it feel much more authentic to the idea that it could of been an actual old handheld, mono audio and a tiny screen just feels so right
Thanks for the video! I love your content, it's a pity that pcbway stopped shipping to my country (Russia) and I can't make builds like yours, but your quality videos are like building such cool consoles for me :D
This is cool! I would love to see an updated version of this build with the round screen and bigger battery life w/ the compute module. I wonder if adding in 3D layer in between the shell would thicken it up just enough for more space to allow for that.
Fifteen minutes of battery life? Looks like the Game Gear has a new rival! Also, LOVE that intro! I think this would be a ton better with a 3D printed option because you can print a deeper version that can even include triggers, bigger battery, and dual speakers if you wanted to. Keep the shape or even the whole top half, but that would 3D print the bottom half to be much deeper.
That’s interesting I didn’t expect the controller to be something off the shelf but i also couldn’t help but notice it didn’t look 3D printed. Very cool. I though the round look was to fit a disc drive
amazing project! i have an idea I would like to throw out there, maybe make a 3d shell extension, that would make the profile a little thicker and compensate for better ergonomics, also it would give space to fit a bigger battery, trigger buttons in steam deck style and hopefully it would not add too much overall time to implement ( if you skip the trigger buttons design idea)
That was a solid version of 1.0. Now it is time to give us the updated and improved version 2.0, where you put the round screen, bigger battery, and more.
That intro was amazing.
Thank you!! 🙏
Seriously high production values!
amazing? i have no words to describe this piece of art!
You need to do more intros like that@@MachoNachoProductions
He's been doing that intro eversince. Tito is a masterclass in editing
I think Tito is adding layers of shirts waiting for us to notice :P
did you notice his layed pants
Mr. Rodgers?.....no...Mr.Tito
Maybe he refuses to turn on the heat until it is below freezing outside. I know I do! I am old...
I think swapping the speaker and battery could have been the ticket especially with the high quality small speakers that are out there. Also you could probably down clock the cpu in the raspberry pi since it's overpowered for PS1 and squeezed more playtime out of a 1000 - 1200 mah battery sitting where the speaker now lives. That being said, you all did a great job designing this thing. I could see people using this board with 3D printed shells to replicate this project and tweaking the design to perfect a great concept.
With a device so small and personal, maybe a speaker can be jettisoned all together and just depend on the headphone jack for sound?
@bash_maxwell speakers are so small nowadays you wouldn't need to omit one.
Swapping the existing display cable for a ribbon cable would save some space as well. Maybe a display with a different connector too.
Awesome stuff man. The modding community is such a blessing to behold and be a part of
Of wat
@@mohamedcraft_1130 Of ruining original-no longer made-old stuff in order to create this crap
Agreed. This stuff is so cool!
@@ManuTheDeathfrom my viewpoint you cant keep every single old device in a museum, perfectly preserved forever, the vasy majority end up as e-waste or rotting away unloved in a shed somewhere. I love seeing these things be used and appreciated even if not as intended, it's far better than the alternative
2:43 Really cool how you were able to get footage of your actual conversation with Kyle.
Looooool
Honestly making a new shell with all the stuff in mind would be a better strategy. But then you already have a PSP or Vita to play PS1 games.
I think I what I need is a 10 hour compilation of Tito soldering with the background music. I would leave it up instead of a fake fireplace for the entire holidays
I love it.
Tito the intro is so quality ! Good job !
Thank you! 🙏
Would love to see this built from original PS1/PSP parts à la the Frogboy
Yas
YveltalGriffin build a PSone portable called the "PS Hanami" it uses a real and complete board simply cut in the middle and then rewired the two halves back together!
There's already a thing named that plus the original parts really don't matter that would limit it more than it already is.
That would be really awesome, and wouldn't require too extreme soldering skills, everything on the PS One is at most QFP packages, no BGAs from my memory.
Then again just the CPU alone is like the footprint of that screen, the chips are quite big.
"I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having fun" 10:40 xD
chaos is how I learn
Literal story of my life…..
Words to live by. :D
All the Easter eggs made me laugh.

Not having MediEvil OST in this is a big missed opportunity
I've always wanted to play PS1 games on a 1 inch VMU screen. /s
This is sick, but at a first glance, I thought it used original hardware, and the official PSOne screen. Now I wanna make that XD
as a note, they make router bits with bearings on them that you can adjust. you use the current lip as a guide, and it'll never go past that point. look into it, it would make a lot of trimming projects MUCH cleaner and easier.

A translucent shell would be cool with the round screen.
Main flaw - only 15 minutes of gameplay 😳
I gotta say I really like the speaker placement lol. It may sound weird but that's such a 90s thing. It really completes the look.
That intro was FIRE! Loved how the theme music kicked in.
Well, it looks nice and seeing this coming to life was great, but that's it. It's mostly about the fun of building, than actually using it for anything. :)
Absolutely!
Hands down, the best modding videos EVER!
( the Macho Nacho videos)
I love all the modders videos but Tito's video have a special place.
Really good intro, looks amazing and ergonomically comfortable AF. Can't wait for the gloss black, complete circle oled, 3-5 hour Version 2.0. P.s the freedy shirt was sick 🤙

That intro was Freakin Awesome dude. I wished I had your skills and this PS1 handheld. 🔥😎👍💯
I’m a big fan of the Halloween theme of this video! It’s definitely a delightful treat.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
The production of this episode is amazing Tito!! Bravo!!
I love that intro. That spooky remix to your intro music was bad ass!
Spooky Boi intro with the cozy man cardigan make this really feel like Halloween & Christmas at the same time 🎃👻 🎄🎅
Its a cool setpiece, to show "what could have been".
Of course its completely obsolete and impractical, since a Miyoo Mini, with custom buttons performs better and has way more battery.
Perfect intro! Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Big props for the "Are you afraid of the dark" reference. Happy Halloween 🎃 and great job on the project.
There were some really smart decisions in designing this mod. Great work to everyone involved.
This is AWESOME. Please continue making upgrades on this!
Holy heck! that intro was amazing! I can't wait for next Halloween or perhaps new themed episodes throughout the year!
I swear I've heard something like the opening monologue before but i can't for the life of me remember where, great job!
You guys did amazing!!
Pulling that off !! I can’t wait what the community will end up doing with this open source project
Between the awesome intro and music, and the goofy acting, best episode ever. Amazing production value !
Well this is pretty cool actually

Everything about this goes so hard 😭💚 I'd be curious to know what about the round screen didn't work out in the end?
That screen lense is perfection though
While not the desired screen, the 2.4” screen is probably what Sony would have used in the PSone era to make something exactly like this. Great job
Omg the Macho Nacho Annual Halloween Special!!

Btw,... those CONs are very era-appropriate 90's problems to have. If you could power it with 4 AA batteries to get that 15 mins that would be 100% accurate :D
You can plug a thin battery bank and stick it on the back for longer power and gameplay
The production value of your content is crazy impressive.

This may be your best work. You actually produced this project. Usually you do others stuff. This was an actual engineering idea by you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video! The amazing intro set the tone perfectly. Made the whole experience of watching so much better. Great job!
Every year i see this intro and it never stops amazing me!! The best Halloween intro in all youtube!!
Yo what a blast, and that intro, AMAZING! My man always delivers high quality videos!

Another year seeing the cool Halloween intro! This thing looks so cool! I saw an article about this build a little while ago.
I'm sure you will find a solution for bigger batteries. Also i think you can use a bigger screen. Also it's a good idea to add analog sticks.
Overall is a great idea.

You will always be one of my favorite TH-camrs. I always learn so much from your work 🔥
Tito all your vids are pretty awesome
In my opinion, damaging a controller for such a project is not a cons. It's a big NO. Nevertheless, I am sure your learned a lot which is good!

honestly the parts where you had to make "sacrifices" make it feel much more authentic to the idea that it could of been an actual old handheld, mono audio and a tiny screen just feels so right
Great intro, I can tell you had fun with this one. Nice job!

f*+%ing amazing! Nice job. I want a phantom.
This intro left no crumbs

Yeah def the main flaw for me it looks cool but only 15 mins gameplay is shocking
Nah man, my boy tito is doing too much. Take him to Hollywood with that production skills!
That opening sequence to the video was immaculate. ❤
Thank you Tito for An awesome Halloween show!!! Very cool project.
2:25 - The reenactment of Tito learning about Hairo Satoh's build got me to actually LOL. Noice! 👌🏿
That’s interesting I didn’t expect the controller to be something off the shelf but i also couldn’t help but notice it didn’t look 3D printed. Very cool. I though the round look was to fit a disc drive
even tho you have no idea what you're doing, am glad you had fun 😂
this is such a cool project and a great video! i really loved that cool halloween opening!
amazing project! i have an idea I would like to throw out there, maybe make a 3d shell extension, that would make the profile a little thicker and compensate for better ergonomics, also it would give space to fit a bigger battery, trigger buttons in steam deck style and hopefully it would not add too much overall time to implement ( if you skip the trigger buttons design idea)
ahhh thats so cool ive been following this guy on insta for a year or so. he makes some mad consoles. i love them so much
hi TITO , HANDHELD inspired by a BATHROOM SCALE 🎉😂😂😂😂
That was a solid version of 1.0. Now it is time to give us the updated and improved version 2.0, where you put the round screen, bigger battery, and more.
Amazing intro. Keep coming back to it
