A portable PlayStation 2. No, not the PSP
Sandra Lee would be proud. She wanted a portable system that could play all your PlayStation games and wasn't so small for her massive gorilla-like hands. Thankfully, Brian Gardiner has created his "palmPS2" which takes many of the same parts of the original PlayStation 2 and places it into a somewhat terrifying portable device. I'm impressed, but I'll stick with my PSP for PS2-quality gaming on the go.See also:Xbox 360 crammed into laptop formThe not-so-portable GamecubeBen Heckendorn's new and improve nPodL64 redefines portable N64 stylePortable Xbox -- no, really![Via Engadget]
Brian Gardiner's homemade portable PS2: the palmPS2
Not one to let the prolific Ben Heckendorn get all the attention, fellow modder Brian Gardiner has fired a shot across the bow with his latest creation, the palmPS2. While it's a generation behind Heck's most recent mod, it certainly looks to hold its own in the usability department, with the fit-and-finish to match. Gardiner even went as far to include as many original PS2 parts as he could manage, and kept the size down by opting for an external battery pack. The only downside, apart from being far beyond the skills of most of us, is that the screen apparently suffers from a bit of a green tint due to the PS2's RGB output. Of course, you could just wait for that PSP download service, but that wouldn't be nearly as satisfying now, would it? Come to think of it, you might just be better off sticking with Heckendorn and his two-year-old take on this same project -- sometimes you just gotta go with what you know.
