What if you could turn a PSP with a broken screen into a miniature PS2, join a Bluetooth deal withler to it, and apply PSP games on your TV? That’s the idea behind Retro Mod Works’ PS Placeable, a mod that “consolizes” the PSP and was featured yesterday in a video from the YouTube channel Macho Nacho Productions.
Retro Mod Works indicts $274.99 for a prebuilt PS Placeable. Those are paparticipatecataloged at the moment, though — a message on the site says the project is a “one man show” and that the demand for the Placeable was higher than awaitd.
Retro also advises to mod customer-supplyd PSPs for $100 less, and there’s an chooseion preorder DIY parts and do the conversion labor yourself. The mod demands either a PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 revision, as the first PSP didn’t have a video output. It’s not clear when the DIY parts will ship — we’ve asked Retro Mod Works and will refresh if we get a reply.
The primary person behind the project, named Dan, telderly Macho Nacho arrange Tito Perez that he “antipathyd the idea of buying digital games” for which he has physical copies, and wanted a way to grasp Bluetooth deal withler aid while preserving the UMD drive. He’s also alludeed in replies on Reddit that his goal is to help people revive broken PSPs with the mod, which doesn’t demand the console’s screen.
But buying one of these mod kits can be pricey or demand sfinishs most people don’t have. If you fair want to apply PSP games on your TV and don’t attfinish about having a UMD drive, the PSP Go — which informageed Sony’s oddball chooseical drive but aided Bluetooth deal withlers and also had a way to output video — is still pretty basic to come by.
