I was wondering if this mod was at all possible, and if so how would one go about doing it.
-
i have read up on this mod the first time i came across it but alas it is an impossible mod unles you wnat to go about completly tearing apart your psp in the process...
idk maybe the R&D on the site might no how but ive read alot of places that that was just a concept picture/idea.
-
well im getting a second 1000 and was curious if i could. you know, have a psp with super old skool style. either way one of them is going to be a project psp and the other will be my main psp. BTW twisted i want to know EXACTLY how you did that to your machine, looks so great.

Im thinking of making a tut but i have to have the time... PLus i donr really want to open it again. But ill do it when i get my CR 3100 in the mail cuz then i have to open it anyways.
-
Hell I really like this... I wonder if It is possible? If the motherboard fits in sideways.... but how would you get that screen to accept the signal from the psp?
-
if someone did do this i could problably donate parts, i have alot.
-
Possible? Yes. Easy? No. It would be the hardest Mod i've seen done, maybe if you make a custom case, to keep the same PSP screen
-
doable but very difficult, slightly you would probably need to have access to things like cnc, injection moulding and vacuum forming equiptment, but i believe the one in the above picture is fake because the screen is the wrong size. i really like the concept though cos i hate the way psps are normally
-
is there any way to install a different screen on the psp?
-
I would think so, it you could make one with the same plugs, or use a go's screen if that would fit any better.
EDIT: nvm lol thats alot smaller than i thought.
-
It doesn't work like that sam...
-
Well we can cut the screen in half! lol
-
that would totally work! lol!and forget cutting it lets just fold it!
-
yea so it will have screens on the front and back!!!
Edit: everyone!, dont not attemp this it does not work!!! i learned the hard way, now i cant make the mod anymore. but we can still try folding the mobo to fit!
-
its in a gameboy colour case, it has the same speaker grill, the curve on the bottom corner, the power LED, the screen is identical.
i say its possible. with photoshop.
if you could make a custom case for it, youd be able to make one slightly bigger than that, but i dont think you would ever get it down to that size.
-
we could use an original gameboy case , arent they bigger?
-
why not try using gameboy advance the purple one isnt iut the same thing just need a bit shaidng
-
i have two game boy advances im willing to donate, but there both clearish
http://cgi.ebay.com/GameBoy-Advance-GBA-Full-Housing-Shell-Tool-Blue-/280662013926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4158c277e6#ht_1573wt_905 But ebay also has GBA replacement shells we can use, they also have shell for pretty much every gameboy.
-
Wtf... The psp motherboard is bigger than the gameboy advanced itself i'm pretty sure.
What i'm worried about is the screen. Who cares about the case. You can make a custom case of that design, no matter how large it is. But what about the screen? That looks like a 4:3 screen... What would you do about this? I know someone made tv out on the psp 1000... so would it be possible to use another lcd??
-
yeah you'd just have to use the audio/video plug on the bottom and then once it's all hooked up. Just push the screen button on the home bar to have it switch on the screen
P.S. Should start off a new thread about this in the R&D section

Well the mobo fits, but the screen will never fit lol wayy to big. were gonna have to find a screen or some way to get it to work.
-
Could take apart an AV adapter cable and use the plug as a port for the new screen! And i have an AV cable i dont use! lol it's perfect!!!
-
Now i'm just freaking confused.
-
this is going to be hard... i wish foo foo were here hes pretty good at moddin

K here's my drawing of my idea:

-
are you sure the screen and backlight will be powered through the cord? because i dont think power runs through it nut i dont know much about anything so.. aksi i have a psp 1k mobo thats blacklight and video things are rippped off, we could use this couldnt we?

these posts died....!

"locate which pins on the screen are what" lol... won't work.

Yup it is... And yes sammy i somehow bumped up my post count from 100 posts on Monday of last week to 260 posts. Thats 160 posts in a week... Man i HAVE no life i guess...

Wouldn't it be nice if it were though? XDD I wish it were, it'd take some of the guess work out of it sure. But it would take the prestige for figuring it out away too... =/. But if anybody makes it, like that. I will buy it. If it uses UMDs and has multiple memory card readers.

TwisT theres no way in hell those would EVER fit lol... i'm thinking if this is done it will be an internal memory card
-
Seems like you might be able to fit a Go board, but still, the 4:3 LCD without a backlight would still prove quite a hurdle.
-
but arent the button thing on the mobo? it would have to be close to the same shape as a go for it to work.
-

not at all... there are tact switches for the buttons... if anything this would be easier. You wouldn't have to wire to the ZIF, you could just wire to each tact switch... It doesn't have to be the same shape at all.
-

o.O why wouldn't it fit? UMDs where the cartridge goes, and one of the CR card readers used for the internal memory stick pro duos (I can't recall the name at this time) gutted and the slots cut out on the side of the case.
If the restrictions of the motherboard and the conversion of the screen were over come, then the UMD and memory sticks really shouldn't make or break the project... XD

First - it's not a GBC, it's Game Boy Pocket. So we all know the intended dimensions. As well, there's not just no backlight - there's no color! You can see that the screen is GB Green Scheme.
The thing is, you can't fit a 1000/2000/3000 PSP into the GB Pocket shell to start with - even if you gutted the UMD drive, the mobo is too big.
That's why I said use a Go - as that would actually fit, but then you're dealing with a system that doesn't have a UMD.

The 'matter of fact' attitude isn't needed.
It would have been more realistic to do this concept with an image of the brick game boy anyway. Obviously, most of what I said was day dreaming. Just to let you know. The slim sleek pocket is nice in the black though.
K? Thanks.

-
I'm daydreaming on this too, I'm not by any means trying to be a jerk. It's a really cool concept art, and it gets me thinking!
After I reread the thread a couple times I just realized it wasn't a GBC like phantomz0 made it out to be, which makes bringing the literal concept art to life even harder!
I mentioned this in chatbox the other day - if someone was able to recreate the PSP mobo without pcb, you could drop it into any shell you wanted. Of course, the LCD would remain to be a major pain.
But yeah, the black pocket was by far the best looking one of the bunch.

No need to get so bottom hurt TwisT!!! We're all friends here... right?

Thats the easy part, the rest is firmware hacking to run a custom screen, and redesigning the circuit board. Else this could be a piece of cake.
-
just use the original PSP screen, like an original gameboy, but WIDESCREEN!

This would be doable, but the thing would look fugly lol..

Same idea, but easier to be done - Use a Sega Game Gear.
Imagine the extra mods you could stuff into it. x3

Everyone's seen the LCD in the lid of the PSX mod - what about a PSP in a PSX, flip top LCD in the CD lid, UMD drive in the GameShark port, with a PS2 controller geared up and rewired for dual nub?
-
I was wondering if this mod was at all possible, and if so how would one go about doing it.
what happened to "this" ^
-
well i have been wanting to attempt this mod since the 1st day i saw it.... if yal are willing to donate parts i am willing to give it my best shot... atm i dont have mobos or nubs... i think i have everything else.. also i have no gameboy so...... ya
who ever wants in on this... if yal are serious... contact me via facebook preferably.... but ya i mean ill get a work log started as soon as i know if yal are serious about this
-
wow... This topic went from a valid question to R&D so fast it suprised me. I did say before that we should start a new topic in the R&D section but nooo! Nobody listened! And now we've gone and pretty much comandered this guys post.
-
lol technically its not r&d til i make start the work log lol
-
Well now that it seems that this mod is either the hardest mod or an imposable mod for my psp, i have dropped this project. I have the second psp, dissembled it, and in all honesty the biggest problem(it seems to me) is the screen. I have and gameboy color complete, screen mobo, speaker. I thought that it would be a fun little project but now it seems more trouble than its worth.
This i did find out the psp battery is the same size as the gameboy color battery slot. Psp mobo, is about the same size and the gameboy color, turned sideways. Buttons would be abit of an issue along with the triggers. And I think a UMD would fit inside of the game pack slot(but UMD tray is too big for this project to work with everything else jam packed in there).
Sorry for the let down guys. Maybe next time ill come up with something logical. Like putting a ps3 controlor inside of a psp shell. lol. My little brother came up with the idea after seeing a psp with dual analog sticks.
-
well like i said if yal are willing to donate parts ill give this a go and i already have a ton of psp parts all i need is a screen and matching mobo and the game boy... aside from tht i have all the stuff needed for this mod
-

you don't have the knowledge ;) i don't think any one on this site does.
-
how do you know what i have knowledge of? i honestly wanna give this a go lol but u know what, to prove you wrong neo ima get the parts on my own no donations and start the worklog when a get a mobo and gameboy
-

meh go ahead... i bet 10 dollars you fail.
there's no way possible to make this out without having some extreme knowledge.
Here is a worklog of a guy that turned two tablets screens into a giant ds:
http://home.comcast.net/~olimar/DS/jumbotron/
And as you can see it is a :censored:load of work. Not only that, but this guy obviously has a degree of some sort, that is not common knowledge...
And my third point. It's not internalized at all. Look how freaking big that module is, outside of the ds. He had to use that to get the screens to accept the signal from the DS... and even though the PSP is smaller scale, there is no way you are going to be able to internalize anything that lets you use a screen that will fit on a gameboy...
So my point it, you won't be able to do this mod. And if you do, it will look absolutely nothing like a gameboy. At all. If you use a widescreen, it will not look like a gameboy... so why even try?
-
lol this is gonna turn out to be a repeat of when i first joined this site... the guys said i could get a webcam to work w/ the psp because i didn't know how to code and that there wasn't a 5v source on the psp mobo... i knew otherwise and although i didn't know coding my friend that helps me w/ coding does and has been to college for it. o and i got the web cam to work w/ the psp lol

pics or it didn't happen....
and i'm done with my argument lol, i just proved to you that it wouldn't work..
-
u didnt prove it wouldnt work u just proved its gonna be a challenge andill get some pics in a couple weeks when i go to my dads... all my modding stuff is there
-
Ladies! Ladies! No More Fighting!
jk
But seriously guys stop arguing.
Neo - He's gunna try regardless of what you say.
Chef - Good luck on the mod, hope it works cuz if not neo's gunna end up rubbing it in.

LOL my and chef boyardee are good friends, no fighting just a friendly argument ;)
and of course I am.
-
he's right Medias but ya i know ima have to do it now lol... im talkin w/ a guy about the screen problem
-
you usin a Go motherboard for this? Cuz the screen would fit it if you had it sideways.
And ima be following this closley, i wanna see how this turns out.
-
i would use a go... if i had monies to buy 1... ima use a 1000 most likely and a custom screen if i can figure it out
-
sweet cant wait!
-
"if i can figure it out"
lmaooooooooooo
you can't figure it out, not without a plan!! I already told you you can't.. But good luck. ;)
-
neo... i has a plan me and the guy tht made that ds mod w/ the big screens are already talking about suitable screens for this mod lol
-

that is actually a superb plan, if you contact him you might be able to get this done. make sure you share the knowledge with the rest of us.

I still dont understand why my idea with the AV cable wouldn't work? I mean sure it would take some mad soldering skills to attach the wires but it COULD be done.

it's the screen.
there is no portable screen that would take the SIGNALS from the av cord, at least small enough to fit INSIDE of a PSP. it can't be done that way.

Well not with that attitude there isn't! lol jk!

1 gameboy color
1 lcd screen to fit the gameboy
after i gets those 3 things i can start i have talked to the ds guy and he says after i get the screen we can procede and that it can be done

Like I said, make sure you make a work log if you do this, we ALL want a tutorial on how to make this thing if you do...
-
lol what if i wanna sell a few 1st then make the work log/tut
-
or i could be like the 1 guy on here from taylor toys and just not tell at all xD
-
or i could be like the 1 guy on here from taylor toys and just not tell at all xD
can't really use taylor toys since its not online anymore
-
no remember a while bak when tht guy from here did mods for taylor toys... made those awsome vu meters on psp's lol but never posted tuts... although i am not a douche i will most definetly make a tut
-
Guys I found a company that sells small lcd screens that have a standard video input. Very small footprint. I would have to find them again, I was looking into this for a video scope idea. They make screens as small as 1.8" and as big as 5" widescreen. I'll see if I can find the info again and I'll post the links here.

Can you give me the dimensions of the screen needed?

Okay I have another question... The psp 2000 only supports component out, not composite, so how would you use the screen?
And oh yeah. That gameboy in the picture is not a Gameboy COLOR. It's a gameboy POCKET....
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00002ST36/ref=sr_1_3_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1311288852&sr=8-3&condition=used
-
With CFW you can change that I think. I know with IRshell you can also output either component or composite for games and video

well if that works, and he can fit the motherboard inside of a gameboy pocket, he should be good to go
-
So you will have to use a 2000 mobo to get the video out.

Ive got a gameboy color thats clearish purple.

if u want to donate it pm me ill send u my addr3ss

if u want to donate it pm me ill send u my addr3ss
not tryin to be a dbag and get all up in ya business, but in the concept image, its a gameboy pocket
-
i uhm... was told it was a gbc lol idt i can put it in a gbp
-
i uhm... was told it was a gbc lol idt i can put it in a gbp
it was definitely a gameboy pocket, look at the picture... just saying lol!
i dont care if its the first gameboy, i just wanna see if you can do it
-
:laughing: lol... well lemme get a WORKING GBC version first then ill work on a gbp version haha
-
no way will a 2000 mobo or any psp mobo fit in a GBP , maybe a go board would fit. but the GBC can probably take a 2000 mobo.
I would like to see this done ... The concept is sound.
-
lol it HAS to be a go board haha like u said there is no way in hell a psp will fit in a gbp tht thing is like what 5 inches if tht
-
On the go mod topic...
Imagine the screen sliding up like the go on you GBC ? To reveale the extra buttons that the psp has. So you could kinda make it look like a stock GBC and slide the screen up to reveal the extra buttons that the PSP needs.
BTW PSP1000 mobo's can not video out. The best way to do this is to use the Video out instead of trying to connect a smaller screen to the PSP LCD out.
So PSP2000 and newer boards need to be used and IRshell would make this run more smoothly .
-
for the go i was thinking more of a gba sp lol
-
if u want to donate it pm me ill send u my addr3ss
Ill have to try and find it, lol it was at my grandmas house and thier moving out so it might be hard to find. if i find ill prolly donate it.
-
ok if u find it let me know
-
Okay I have another question... The psp 2000 only supports component out, not composite, so how would you use the screen?
I hate to burst your bubble Neo but the psp 2000 DOSE support both video outputs. You just have to change it in the video settings.
