I Turned my PSP into a Mini Steam Deck!!

Modern handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally are incredible, but they are absolute units! I missed the days when handheld consoles could actually fit in your pocket, which got me thinking: could I turn my old PSP into a Steam Deck? The short answer is a resounding YES! In this video, I take a broken Sony PSP-1000 and bring it back from the dead as a gorgeous Frankenstein's monster. By gutting the internals and dropping in a mini PC, this little pocketable console can play classic emulated games and stream my entire PC Steam library! 🛠️ Parts Used in this Build: 🔸The Shell: A broken Sony PSP-1000 - https://www.ebay.com/ 🔸The Brains: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W - https://amzn.to/4bFbYtp 🔹Optional: Compute Module 4 - https://amzn.to/4bK3d1c 🔹Optional: Compute Module Carrier Board - https://othermod.com/product/pspi-6-c... 🔸The Motherboard: Custom PSPi6 PCB (designed by Othermod) - https://othermod.com/product/pspi-6-b... 🔸The Display: 800x480p TFT LCD Display - https://othermod.com/product/4-3-800x... 🔸The Power: Generic 2000mAh Lipo Battery - https://othermod.com/product/generic-... 🔹 Alternate Battery: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3t... 🔸The Storage: 128GB Micro SD Card - https://amzn.to/4f4lKYn 🔸Optional: Custom $10 headphone board (from Othermod) - https://othermod.com/product/pspi-6-h...
