Modder Transforms PlayStation 4 Slim into Portable Handheld Console

YouTuber Restore Technique recently showcased an incredible and intricate project: a PlayStation 4 handheld creation in a 27-minute YouTube video. This fascinating device is pieced together using a 3D-printed custom shell, specially made PCBs, a 7-inch display, and the motherboard from the original PlayStation 4 Slim console. The result? A genuine handheld PS4 measuring 249 x 156 x 49.2mm and weighing 1.7 Kg. For many, this innovation far surpasses the streaming-only PlayStation Portal, marking it as a more fitting heir to the PlayStation Vita.

What makes this portable PS4 stand out in the realm of handheld console mods is its use of powerful hardware—more so than the Nintendo consoles typically used for such projects, like the GameCube and Wii. Restore Technique opted for a PS4 Slim, known for its low-power architecture, cleverly balancing heat and power for the handheld format. The dedication to the project is evident in how meticulously components were selected, removed, and modified to fit the custom design.

A major part of crafting this portable marvel involved removing some ports and components to reduce the size of the aluminum heat spreader—done with precision tools like soldering stations and a Dremel rotary tool. Notably, Restore Technique installed a fan controller to keep the console cool, although they caution that overheating could still be a risk.

The integration of a DualShock controller into the handheld required intricate wiring and tested the developer’s ingenuity. Powering such a device calls for a robust battery, and Restore Technique ingeniously created their own 3S2P LiPo 12V 10,000 mAh battery pack. Charging is facilitated through a durable 10 Amp DC power jack, allowing simultaneous gaming and charging.

Gaming on-the-go is possible, as demonstrated with an 86-minute session of The Last of Us. However, to make the most of this handheld, having the charger on hand is recommended. Due to its powerful battery, flying with this device could be problematic, given airline restrictions.

The journey to this point involved some setbacks, as the initial assembly faced thermal and power challenges. After replacing controller frames and enhancing internal shielding, the performance stabilized, eliminating graphical glitches and slowdowns.

For those intrigued by electronics, 3D printing, and soldering, this project is a must-see. Restore Technique clearly embodies the maker spirit, tackling hurdles and learning from each step. If you’re in search of innovation in the gaming world, this is a build worth following closely.
