Yeah I got the battery working again!
I am not 100% yet, some of the buttons need adjustment. But it works. Paint tomorrow maybe. Then after paint Ill show a final video showing gameplay from multiple games and I will update my PS3 games playable list. I guess the PS3 can play PSP games but I would need a cobra dongle. I hope we get a multiman patch or something like that.
Right now I have about 500gb of PS3 (playable on psp) Games on an external hdd. Most of the games actually require them to be external for this to even work. Some internal only games can play.
So onto Proof of working concept video.

Looks very intense work there.. and alot of time and effort has gone in to this mod. Good luck could be one of the top contenders

A lil statement about the mod. This mod has turned out to be one of the most wide ranging skill tests I have had yet. There is just so much involved with getting this thing right and portable .
 You all might be questioning the control set up, but the controls on top are very comfortable in a sitting , laying down or standing position. The dual sticks are great. The dual shock vibe works too.
 I only fallowed one tutorial on this process. That was to check the polarity on the led fader chip. I started out with knowing what I wanted to do and had a basic design in my head. I wanted to increase the psp screen size and give the psp full controls for ps3 mode. Also I improved the sound a lot. The thing is real loud. You can actually feel the bass rumble through the grips. I added some flash to it by adding the fader leds and the dual huge VU display that is hidden by  a sheet of extra dark window tint. I went darker because I didn't want the VU to be too bright. I will have details on the VU after the mod off. I have been in touch with the company and they are willing to make custum orders (color , shape , size) MIN order of ten I think.
  This thing is different, there is no doubting that. but is it not main stream enough?
Also I am showing the full features now because I might not be able to show them after paint , because I might not be able to handle it. But I will show it assembled and turn on again.

that is impressive, I see alot of work has been put into this mod. look forward to seeing it painted, you've got my vote hands down

Finished paint pics. I did no wet sanding. I dont dare handle it any more than I have to right now as the clear coat is still setting. Its a simple paint job but it does the trick. I tried to tie in the silver trim that is on most PSP's and PS3's
I installed the tint over the VU display and trimmed it up with black rubber paint. its still wet in the pics.
Ill be going back and adding more build pics later. Like details on how I did everything.

Awesome congrats on completion.

Forgot to mention The PSP mods. White button and analog swap and I removed the magnet that controls the screen slide. This way when I close the psp it still displays the menu and games and stuff not the stupid clock. I will update pics in build log.
I have more psp stuff planned but it will have to wait for the next mod, coming very soon.

Thanks to everyone on AcidMods. Special thanks to Ryan F for his info on the battery . Thanks to my friend who found the VU and to Huboptic for making the VU display and for the fast service . Jorge I will be in touch soon.

Thanks Acidmods for hosting a great competition and good luck to all the competitors.
What it is:
PsP Go wired and docked to a 13" 1080 hd tv/monitor. The PSP stock output of 720p is used here. A dual shock 3 is modded to the monitor and is synced through Bluetooth to the PSP GO. The PsP is then remote play linked to my modded 3.55cfw / 4.00+ Multiman PS3. The PS3 has 500 gb internal and multiple external drives but the main game drive is a 1TB 3.5" sata hdd. Of that 1tb over 75% is full and of that only 10% are not playable on the PSP. So I have a lot PS3 games I can play portable. This device also improves the gaming quality of the PsP itself. Better sound, better video and better/ more comfortable controls.
So onto the demo video. It does a lot so I tried to just show samples of what it can do.

Upon further investigation this is also the only way to remote play your Ps3 games on your vita. Sony says an official update for both systems will give full remote play to vita but at psp resolution. WTF SONY?!
So if you want PS3 for your vita a cfw PS3 kaemew and newest mm. Is required. COBRA usb coming in the mail. Test remote play of my huge selection of Psp PS1 and Ps2 iso's.  Everything sony has ever put out will be playable via remote play from psp and vita.
SONY you have been .


edit: credit for vita remote play ps3 goes to homer49 @ youtube
from watching his videos it appears the vita has better game compatibility. Some of the games i got a black screen on with the psp , he has working on the vita. I also have seen videos of skyrim on the vita, but I am not sure how they are doing it.  Last I knew skyrim was unplayable on 3.55kaemew. Maybe there has been a patch and I dont know.

SONY you have been .

Hooked up actlikes RF to my dualshock. RF works in PSP and PS3 mode.

[1TONpete]

This is not the end.
I will show you all how to do remote play PS3 games with my Vita when I get it.
Also once I have my vita I will be redoing the mod and slimming it down. Cause i wont need it as much , but it still has potential . So I will improve on the design.
Also if you like this you might like my dualshock Go project I am working on.

Thanks Acidmods, the rest of the competitors, and everyone who was modding before me.

Special shouts:
Crumbz for his info on psp go cfw.
Matt for his break down of the GO.
Darknight for the lcd and for finding the VU stuff.
Ryan F for finding the battery info.
Jorge Pong for his huboptic EQ's . Check out his stuff here: http://www.lightupgadgets.com/
homer49 for his work on remote play for the vita.
Also the creators of kaemew and multiman w/o them our Ps3's would be junk.

[crashmasher]

Hey, congrats on the win. I'm looking forward to what you have planned for the slimmer model of the screen, and how you will tie it into the go, and yes the PS3 is nothing without kaemew and multiman.
again, Congrats!

OK guys I am starting to think about revision 2.
Taking all suggestions.
This time I am not using a "go" if I can get this netbook mobo up and running.
There is remote play support for windows PC.

I have a bluetooth usb but I think I will hard wire a usb controller to the mobo.

I am thinking about putting a touch overlay on the 13" screen. I have found one that is close in size.
 Also thinking about running android inside windows. The usb controller could then be used in android. I have yet to find any android that supports remote play. Need help there. If I can get remote play to work in android I can eliminate windows from the netbook and just run android.

Also i am going to order mini analog sticks. similar to the ones used on the vita.
I have some extra psp go parts around and I was looking at the screen slides and I am thinking about adapting them to controls that slide out each side of the device.
There will be no VU in this build or flashy LEDs. The focus will be on function and tight packaging.

Overall size will be 13" wide by 9" tall by 2" thick at wides part where lcd controller is. and 1"-1.5" over all thickness.


first design idea:

[1TONpete]

bump for upcoming Rev. 2

I am back for winter, and I got some sweet plans upcoming.
Here is the first on the list. Making my PS3-Go into a a PS3 portable. I am thinking of installing rebug 4.21 on it also to give me portable online multiplayer.
Put this

in here

Something like this


Also while I am at it I will be tweaking the design a lil and adding features. Now that it is not on a dead line.
Might make a newer slimmer case. Peliter's cooling maybe?

[crankgod26]

this is really cool
