This PlayStation Handheld Never Existed

[@tenchuu007]

That intro was amazing.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@mattmaddux]

Seriously high production values!

[@CarlosHenriqueNoronhadeAguiar]

amazing? i have no words to describe this piece of art!

[@endroidui]

You need to do more intros like that​@@MachoNachoProductions

[@Letoksik]

He's been doing that intro eversince. Tito is a masterclass in editing

[@rastamouse7861]

I think swapping the speaker and battery could have been the ticket especially with the high quality small speakers that are out there. Also you could probably down clock the cpu in the raspberry pi since it's overpowered for PS1 and squeezed more playtime out of a 1000 - 1200 mah battery sitting where the speaker now lives. That being said, you all did a great job designing this thing. I could see people using this board with 3D printed shells to replicate this project and tweaking the design to perfect a great concept.

[@bash_maxwell]

With a device so small and personal, maybe a speaker can be jettisoned all together and just depend on the headphone jack for sound?

[@rastamouse7861]

@bash_maxwell speakers are so small nowadays you wouldn't need to omit one.

[@Phoenixflame87]

Swapping the existing display cable for a ribbon cable would save some space as well. Maybe a display with a different connector too.

[@bluesmokegamer272]

I think Tito is adding layers of shirts waiting for us to notice :P

[@JsmashTech]

did you notice his layed pants

[@onswiftwingsofficial]

Mr. Rodgers?.....no...Mr.Tito

[@vidsofyermom]

Maybe he refuses to turn on the heat until it is below freezing outside. I know I do! I am old...

[@Mobik_]

Is it possible to revisit this mod to add the round screen and more battery? That will be wild

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much for the super chat 🙏! I would absolutely love to! A part 2 is a definitely in the cards!

[@renguney]

@@MachoNachoProductions Do it fast man, we're so hyped!

[@JC-ji1hp]

Awesome stuff man. The modding community is such a blessing to behold and be a part of

[@mohamedcraft_1130]

Of wat

[@ManuTheDeath]

@@mohamedcraft_1130 Of ruining original-no longer made-old stuff in order to create this crap

[@FatBaldDad]

Agreed. This stuff is so cool!

[@endersquid1132]

​@@ManuTheDeathfrom my viewpoint you cant keep every single old device in a museum, perfectly preserved forever, the vasy majority end up as e-waste or rotting away unloved in a shed somewhere. I love seeing these things be used and appreciated even if not as intended, it's far better than the alternative

[@Chill_Valentine]

2:43 Really cool how you were able to get footage of your actual conversation with Kyle.

[@CALIGS]

Looooool

[@KoSLoW27]

Tito the intro is so quality ! Good job !

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! 🙏

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Literal story of my life…..

[@PrinceXTC86]

Words to live by. :D

[@bland9876]

All the Easter eggs made me laugh.

[@rumbleminze]

I think I what I need is a 10 hour compilation of Tito soldering with the background music. I would leave it up instead of a fake fireplace for the entire holidays

[@FatBaldDad]

I love it.

[@FR4M3Sharma]

Honestly making a new shell with all the stuff in mind would be a better strategy. But then you already have a PSP or Vita to play PS1 games.

[@blackhawkthepirate]

Would love to see this built from original PS1/PSP parts à la the Frogboy

[@rastamouse7861]

Yas

[@BigDom1002]

YveltalGriffin build a PSone portable called the "PS Hanami" it uses a real and complete board simply cut in the middle and then rewired the two halves back together!

[@AlexGamingConsole]

There's already a thing named that plus the original parts really don't matter that would limit it more than it already is.

[@Kalvinjj]

That would be really awesome, and wouldn't require too extreme soldering skills, everything on the PS One is at most QFP packages, no BGAs from my memory. Then again just the CPU alone is like the footprint of that screen, the chips are quite big.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Honestly, this is not fair. I should have to pay for this type of high quality content…..and the theme music is chill as heck.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@GaryStewart2020]

Ever think how wild it is that this Pi powered contraption runs a bright screen and emulation off a rechargeable battery but the Sega Game Gear ate up 6batteries in an hour. What a time to be alive.

[@VOAN]

Yeah but do realize emulation is not like native hardware so it doesn't eat through batteries like crazy. Emulation is just software and software usually don't consume battery that much. Both the Game Gear and Sega Nomad was 100% native hardware in portable form so both will consume batteries much more than an emulation handheld.

[@AndyMitchellUK26]

Don't forget that the Game Gear had a full on fluorescent tube running at 130 volts for the backlight. That was crazy impressive to do that in a handheld.

[@Samuell1218]

You are not kidding game gear eats AA's I still have mine and between the batteries draining and the brightness nob's post breaking due to faulty design it's almost impossible to play it for any length of time

[@Lando00100]

I gotta say I really like the speaker placement lol. It may sound weird but that's such a 90s thing. It really completes the look.

[@nicholsliwilson]

Fascinating build. I would be very tempted to sacrifice one of these rare controllers for the job & your use of a prebuilt battery controller was neat, I have a bunch of those exact controllers in my parts bin. Well done, it’s a great device. FYI: 9:20 the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is a standalone SBC, not a compute module.

[@RedFlameFox]

Not having MediEvil OST in this is a big missed opportunity

[@Grimlo9ic]

That intro was FIRE! Loved how the theme music kicked in.

[@benit0yo]

as a note, they make router bits with bearings on them that you can adjust. you use the current lip as a guide, and it'll never go past that point. look into it, it would make a lot of trimming projects MUCH cleaner and easier.

[@gabrielcaviness]

The remixed intro music was class! I feel like you missed an opportunity for a little in-joke by not having the Lynx at 1:30 jump ever-so-slightly to the left!

[@FatBaldDad]

Hands down, the best modding videos EVER! ( the Macho Nacho videos) I love all the modders videos but Tito's video have a special place.

[@klickeldiklick]

Perfect intro! Great work!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Semaze]

This is sick, but at a first glance, I thought it used original hardware, and the official PSOne screen. Now I wanna make that XD

[@kidrobot.]

it really isnt

[@Tybearius]

The production of this episode is amazing Tito!! Bravo!!

[@DonaldWyman]

I love that intro. That spooky remix to your intro music was bad ass!

[@juanbermudez964]

You guys did amazing!! Pulling that off !! I can’t wait what the community will end up doing with this open source project

[@CebolaDeCeroula]

This is AWESOME. Please continue making upgrades on this!

[@groundmasterc]

I swear I've heard something like the opening monologue before but i can't for the life of me remember where, great job!

[@neofprefect]

This may be your best work. You actually produced this project. Usually you do others stuff. This was an actual engineering idea by you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@WyckedWayz]

Big props for the "Are you afraid of the dark" reference. Happy Halloween 🎃 and great job on the project.

[@alistairblaire6001]

There were some really smart decisions in designing this mod. Great work to everyone involved.

[@RockRedGenesis]

As a concept, it's cool. Despite it flaws, I definitely would have wanted one as a teen back in a mid-90's. Would love to see what a 2.0 build could be like with the custom shells and more effican't screens and components. Even a few more millimeters of extra space in the shell could afford a much bigger battery.

[@joeblow5214]

A translucent shell would be cool with the round screen.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Main flaw - only 15 minutes of gameplay 😳

[@shelbyconstructions7256]

Really good intro, looks amazing and ergonomically comfortable AF. Can't wait for the gloss black, complete circle oled, 3-5 hour Version 2.0. P.s the freedy shirt was sick 🤙

[@U_fo.]

Between the awesome intro and music, and the goofy acting, best episode ever. Amazing production value !

[@wesleyellis8805]

Good job to Kyle - who seems to have done all the hardwork

[@rezqiano]

This episode was amazingly done. Good work Tito.

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

even tho you have no idea what you're doing, am glad you had fun 😂

[@AJ.VIDEOS]

I’m a big fan of the Halloween theme of this video! It’s definitely a delightful treat.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@thekfcfucker2365]

Funny to see my fiancé’s cousin (Hairo Satoh; haihaisb) credited on your video. He fixed and upgraded my GB Pocket and GBA SP as a birthday gift for me. The guy really is very talented in the GameBoy mod scene and I think he makes some really unique designs for his units compared to some of the generic shell swaps you find people selling on Marketplace. Really cool to see his effort getting recognized by some of the bigger KZbinrs out there.

[@SuperSchott]

This is an amazing build and Kyle did a super job on it. This should be looked at as the prototype and hopefully you revisit it down the road with more time and improve it or someone else picks up the files and revises it. Another great project and video and the intro was out of this world.

[@thereturnticket]

Tito always smashes the halloween intros, this is no exception! Really enjoyed this one

[@BraxtonDiggs]

Fire intro 🔥🔥🔥

[@JenkemDen]

Just a couple of ideas to solve the battery life issue. You could do one of two things. 1: 3D print a spacer to use a larger and wider flat lithium cell. This would also open up the two spaces you used for stereo speakers. 2: 3D print a new rear housing with palm swells. This would add space for lithium cells, triggers, and retain the nice and branded front housing.

[@astro7996]

Holy heck! that intro was amazing! I can't wait for next Halloween or perhaps new themed episodes throughout the year!

[@stephenr7424]

Here you go, spending my money again, Tito! 😄 I bought one of these controllers today before the price surge from your video hits. I'm super excited to make one of these. I've been toying with the idea after seeing HaiHaiSB post one a year or so ago, but watching your video made my mind up for me. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@Nitro_Foundry]

Spooky Boi intro with the cozy man cardigan make this really feel like Halloween & Christmas at the same time 🎃👻 🎄🎅

[@neakmenter]

This was a lot of fun! Thanks Tito!

[@AlexGamingConsole]

You watched him do all the work. I'm confused.

[@neakmenter]

@ just saying that i found the video fun - it had a different tone to the regular retro renew vids. And i thanked him for the extra effort and for bringing us along for the build of this quirky little experimental handheld!

[@Megaderpus_Maximus]

Improvements I wish I could make: -Expand back for better grip and room for bigger battery -Upgrade to a CM4 for more emulation options -Swap to a thinner display with a ribbon cable

[@kouvang1265]

Wow, I like the intro really much!

[@WillianMolinari]

Well, it looks nice and seeing this coming to life was great, but that's it. It's mostly about the fun of building, than actually using it for anything. :)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Absolutely!

[@Danny.._]

this is such a cool project and a great video! i really loved that cool halloween opening!

[@BluuJourney]

Dude...Nicely done! I could really see y'all putting the headphone jack at the bottom...and maybe a small microphone speaker at the top where the hole was for the cord. This was an Awesome build. Thanks for sharing

[@Boopop1024]

Great intro, I can tell you had fun with this one. Nice job!

[@bowi1332]

The production value of your content is crazy impressive.

[@KaleZ5272]

This video is the perfect example of why I love the retro handheld community so much. Incredible concept and execution.

[@tambias]

Phenomenal build Tito.Looks amazing,very impressed.

[@Wilbsss]

I'd really love to see this improved to fix the small things you mentioned in the video - battery, round display, surface mount components. This could be a truly amazing project with some tweaks. Optimisation of the board design and components, plus that custom shell could easily increase the battery capacity.

[@Beezerfish79]

While not the desired screen, the 2.4” screen is probably what Sony would have used in the PSone era to make something exactly like this. Great job

[@ZoeyWoee]

honestly the parts where you had to make "sacrifices" make it feel much more authentic to the idea that it could of been an actual old handheld, mono audio and a tiny screen just feels so right

[@shaunkos]

Amazing intro. Keep coming back to it

[@LazerKid89]

Yo what a blast, and that intro, AMAZING! My man always delivers high quality videos!

[@ze-ph9774]

Great video! The amazing intro set the tone perfectly. Made the whole experience of watching so much better. Great job!

[@dizzle1119]

Absolute top tier work here. Could you imagine if they had tried to do a disc based handheld console in the late 90s? It would have needed 4 D batteries for 15 mins of operation...

[@electronash]

Spooky. Very nicely done, btw. Happy Halloween / non-denominational holiday.

[@bobbus_74]

Well this is pretty cool actually

[@timucinaziz]

Another year seeing the cool Halloween intro! This thing looks so cool! I saw an article about this build a little while ago.

[@edgarguzman768]

"I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having fun!" - this is the best

[@Jakexorz89]

The production value on these value on these videos has been top notch since the fist time stumbled across this channel and watched the intro on the retro renew video's.

[@ArkiTekdVOD]

ahhh thats so cool ive been following this guy on insta for a year or so. he makes some mad consoles. i love them so much

[@Cetghost06]

[@MonkyTaint]

Cudos to Tito, man. Absolutely love the intro

[@raykupal]

AWESOME INTRO TITO!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Phille023]

Loved the intro Tito! I love DIY projects that turn consoles into handhelds but destroying an obscure and rare controller is not one of them. I think nowadays there's more and better options of doing a project then this route you choose.

[@ccricers]

Maybe the actual horror part of this project is seeing one of those rare controllers being chopped up! At least the project comes with 3D model files and it's way better to 3D print a replica in this case. I do find the design very cool and it's tempting to make improvements on the idea

[@Those2menoverthere]

That opening sequence to the video was immaculate. ❤

[@JustinHarrisTV]

2:25 - The reenactment of Tito learning about Hairo Satoh's build got me to actually LOL. Noice! 👌🏿

[@TafelLager12]

holy guacamole the production value of that intro..... WOW

[@thepro7404]

It's so satisfying to see a whole controller being converted in to a full fledge handheld console. My advise for portable console projects like these would be to use phone speakers. You can salvage them from old broken phones or buy the speaker as a replacement part. I would recommend to use those phone speakers which have tiny foam balls inside them. Those types of speakers will significantly improve the soun d quality of these handhelds.

[@mixmastermacaroni]

Thank you Tito for An awesome Halloween show!!! Very cool project.

[@xMaGuSx888]

I've always wanted to play PS1 games on a 1 inch VMU screen. /s

[@Jokerwolf666]

The Creepshow vibe with this episode is sweet!

[@Mikey-Likes-I.T]

That was a solid version of 1.0. Now it is time to give us the updated and improved version 2.0, where you put the round screen, bigger battery, and more.

[@mafhper]

Congrats my Man, that intro ❤

[@SuperWiiGuru]

WOW the quality of this vid is unreal🤩🤩

[@Whitepawprint]

Everything about this goes so hard 😭💚 I'd be curious to know what about the round screen didn't work out in the end? That screen lense is perfection though

[@georged7627]

You can plug a thin battery bank and stick it on the back for longer power and gameplay

[@ShipwreckedMonki]

The production quality of that intro was 5 stars, better than a lot of actual horror out there

[@livinlicious]

Its a cool setpiece, to show "what could have been". Of course its completely obsolete and impractical, since a Miyoo Mini, with custom buttons performs better and has way more battery.

[@flx2jess]
