Dude if you can pull this off that is gonna be awsome.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #2 on:** April 27, 2009, 01:12:28 PM »

Just FYI, that was never made... Somebody just photoshopped it. But, it could be cool if you pull it off. Why are you looking for full sized pics of the guts? For dimensions?

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #3 on:** April 27, 2009, 02:05:56 PM »

Ha well good luck.. but I doubt just one person could do it, there was a whole team working on the Pandora. Ha even if one person could do it I doubt anyone but Cyber, Chives, F00, Maybe Alien could pull it off, I mean it's a nice idea but I HIGHLY doubt you will be able to do it.

Actually, it's not that hard. Maybe you're thinking of redesigning the entire PSP, which even the people you named, will not be able to do it. What I think this guy wants, is to make a normal psp slim/psp phat look like that.

If, you just wish to make a PSP look like that, you just need some general knowledge first. This includes:

Making the case
-Bondo?
-Vac Forming?

Rerouting nubs
- Just some basic soldering, except for the dual nub, which depending on if it's a slim or not, could be hard.

Extending the LCD screen (maybe)
- advanced soldering

There are a few more things you need to know, but that's mostly it. Sure, it's difficult, but not impossible.

people at benheck coul,d pull this off in a 2-3 weeks
To make that case i recomend vacum forming this
And the hardest part is makin the lcd slide up and down

besdies the case and screen reloction i think anybody could do this with time. I believe in you. good luck!

Just cause you know members of AM doesn't mean

. If you actually didn't know, people at Ben Heck OWN us at things like this and FYI- Chives is a beast with code, but he doesn't even hard mod lol. F00 is a beast but he couldn't do this either. Again cyber is amazing but i don't think so. Alien, has some chance because his CNC is almost done lol. But really, AM modders are pretty nooby "Case Makers" compared to the Ben Heck crew. This is not do-able to look like that pic.

You CAN make a slider screen with buttons under but its going to be fat, and ugly. Way i see it, just leave it. There's nothing beneficial of this of trying so much to do.

Yes thank you for your kind words Jumbo =|. I'm just saying this would be hard for anyone to do. Geez your always so critical. Your probably going to have that case custom formed, I'd suggest trying to make a 3d model and see if you can find someone with a vacuum press/contact a custom plastics company. Let's see a list of things you would have to do, re-design the home bar as I see the Start and Select buttons like something like the DS2 but more flat, also I don't see a HOME volume + volume - screen and music buttons on there. Also you would have to get a custom LCD/search hard for a rightsized LCD or else this won't look ANYTHING like what you see in the picture, the PSP is a widescreen so it's not very tall. It is also not wide enough if you want it to look like this. I see something that resembles a 3:2 image aspect ratio. It definitely is not a widescreen though. I think just because of the wrong sized pre-built PSP lcd and this project makes it not possible. Even if you got a right sized screen it would not run, the PSP is design for a 16:9 image ratio. You could be like the guys who made the pandora and make your own little sort of console, and have a home-brew version of the XMB and re-design the PSP mobo and re-flash it with your own FW. So I think just because of the screen it makes this project not possible. This is whjat it would look like with the stOCK lcd. I'm not saying this isn't possible but it would look a bit funny with sich a tiny LCD, I mean look at the PSP screen and the way this design is sketched, it's body is as long and wide and the screen is tall on this picture. So you would have to fit all that inside the size of behind the LCD.

Here's pretty much all that would need done: move the sound card, move the memory card slot, extend the LCD, dual numbs, re do the whole buttons system to accommodate the re-position of the triggers and maybe the buttons,

Yes it was a cheap quick photoshop nothing special, but this is what it would look like with the PSP screen.

lol no i'm not making a new one just a case mod, i'll use an extended ribbon cable for the slider. it wont be as slim but i have an idea for the vac molding that should work. i was hoping to like print off like the boards and what not so i can start designing the mock ups and the negatives.

knaggs1120 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:35:05 PM »

o and btw its a start for the design not an exact duplicate that would be to expensive for my budget

. no actually i plan to reuse the screen and incorporate the umd drive for now. its not as hard as you think just time consuming. i work with body filler and plastic welding at work and did a good bit of it in school. i dont have a console just a psp thats why i kinda want the print outs

. if not i'll try to get my hands on a copier.

Elite, Jumbo is not being critical. Well yes, he is, but he's also stating facts, that are very much correct. And I agree with him too. You know

about the modders at AM. Sure they're good at their own things, (coding, electrical stuff, designing, etc.) but this is DEFINITELY a BenHeck sort of project. Those guys are beast with cases O_o.

yeah, at MGS, ben heck had some pretty awesome stuff... I was talking to him and some people from the forum there, and they showed off their custom case and portablized stuff. One guy had a portable atari that was pretty cool, but they were actually at a loss as to how people do LED mods, it's actually kind of ironic that they didn't understand the stuff I talked about... (ben did of course, but not everyone.) I was, though, at a loss of their portables... but at least I met ben heck

rceckspurt13 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:02:43 PM »

Then y doesn't someone ask benheck do do it?

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:06:28 PM »

Well good luck on this project hope you get it working.

Yeah delete my post...

and BTW I do have people giving me - rep for nothing. I made nothing but "GOOD JOB" posts for 2 days and I still kept getting more -'s.

Well try to look on info on ben heck's blog I think you should try a custom new LCD for the PSP the default is kinda wimpy is your gonna try this.

Oh this thing again so fake and attempting to do this is very slim i dnt think its possible for one modder to do this.

Yeah This seems like something for R&D to work on, it's much more then just a custom case.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:57:10 PM »

idk if they can cuz look how thin that thing is ur gonna need 2 razors pretty much and idk how there going to attempt that.

ummm... I could ask him in a year at MGC, lol, he proboably doesn't respond to ANY e-mails.

rceckspurt13 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 30, 2009, 05:23:04 PM »

Ha ok

Has anyone knoticed how uncomfortable that probably is to hold and play? It looks cool, but it's not really a good design for actual use.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #24 on:** April 30, 2009, 08:02:14 PM »

Elite, stfu. Nobody cares that your'e getting -s. In fact, I should give you another just for whining about it. "good job" 24/7 is spam. It's useless, and it ticks people off. You get -s for the LARGE amount of stupidity you show on this forum. Grow up. You don't see me complaining about my -24. Kicks has over -100. But he doesn't care. Because it's just a stupid ranking system.

Now back on topic...

Yeah rceck I agree. If it had curves like the psp1000 it'd be better.

I think the sidekick slide would almost a good casing for sliding part but the deminsion of it wont fit a screen that size.

DiscEngine · « **Reply #28 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:49:41 AM »

That does look close but has curved edges.

azhockey · « **Reply #29 on:** May 01, 2009, 04:13:29 PM »

I can't remember who did this but there was a triple A battery mod, why don't you do a hard wires version and just put a compartment on the back I mean you are building a new case so you might as well
