Here's a portable PS1 built from the remnants of an actual console and it only took folding the motherboard 'like a book'

Is it just me or are these DIY builds starting to look like a shippable product? This is the PS Hanami, from @YveltalGriffin on X, and it's a portable PS1 made out of the parts of a real PS1, only quite heavily modified (read: snapped in half) for a compact form factor not much bigger than a PS Vita.

The exterior of the console is extremely polished despite its DIY origins. It includes a sleek white case adorned with PlayStation's own brand of Cross, Triangle, Circle and Square buttons, a d-pad, plus start and select buttons. A pair of shoulder buttons on either side round off what could be, from my description, any regular PlayStation pad. All except for the 480p VGA screen nestled in the middle, anyways.

This is the PS Hanami, my handmade Playstation 1 portable that I designed and built in one month! It uses a REAL PS1 motherboard that I cut in half, folded like a book, and rewired. NO emulation! Details in
