The PSP Cradle
Category: Misc - Tags:
You love your PSP and want to offer it a worthy throne? Well, here’s the PSP Cradle, which is a charging cradle and it also has a connector to hook it up to some speakers. A perfect accessory that will allow you to look at some movies without holding the PSP in your hands. Very interesting indeed, but it lacks a Video-Out connector to view films and games on a big screen.

It doesn’t really lack a video out port so much as the PSP currently has no method of outputting video in the first place. Not to mention that unless you open up the PSP and do some soldering work, you’re not going to get a video out port either, since the processor’s not powerful enough to push its display video out any of its I/O ports AND run a game or video simultaneously, unless you have a fancy Tic Tac Toe or Connect Four game playing. Scrabble might be pushing it, but uncapping the processor might do it. But Chutes and Ladders? Easy there, Gilligan.
Personally, I also find the cradle very interesting indeed, except for the disturbing lack of a popcorn popper and butter dispenser, so I have something to eat when I’m watching movies on the PSP.

So the PSP does not have a straight Video Out jack on its exterior packaging. Any ideas on what it would take to hack into it and extract Video? Sounds like Chef might have done this or atleast explored it. Even if I was ready to expend some cash in spinning a driver electronics board to drive ’nuff juice for the video out from the processor of the PSP, do you think this is possible?
Please let me know if you/anyone has opened one and has invaluvable stuff to share.
Thanks!
