HUMAN ingenuity truly knows no bounds, as an American modder has turned the bulky 30-year-old PlayStation (PS1) console into a working handheld console.
Posting on the tech forum BitBuilt and then on X (formerly Twitter) under the username YveltalGriffin, he explains that the handheld – called PS Hanami – is made using components from an actual PS1, rather than a handheld running an emulation software.
Due to the size of the PS1’s hardware and needing to compartmentalise it into handheld dimensions, the original motherboard was cut in half, folded and wired together. As it is an old-school style portable, the components inside were then secured and held together by a lot of hot glue.
