PSP2, the pictures

Category: Pc - Tags:

E3 has not unveiled everything yet!
In a world exclusive premiere, AkihabaraNews unveils the first pictures of the upcoming PSP2!

No! I’m kidding, this is not the PSP2

The real news

A bunch of Japanese DIY’ers had a useless old Famicom console and decided to build their own PSP. They started by tearing the console apart…

After dismantling the beast, this is what they kept: the motherboard and the CPU.

They started looking for a cheap screen… and managed to get their hands on an old pachinko screen (a vertical Japanese flipper).

Then there was the joystick problem. The solution: cut the Famicom’s controller in half.

A bit of glue, a plastic casing, lots of wires to connect everything…

And finally the batteries… and there it is, the Poor man’s PSP :-p

Quite cool, no?

Can you still buy Famicoms in Japan? I know it sounds a stupid question, but do you seen them in Akihabara for, like 15 euro?

Great! I always wanted to own one, but I always had Sega machines when I was a kid (mostly my parents buying wrong christmas presents!) How much would one cost in Japan now? Also, is it tru that the first version doesn’t actually have inputs for non-Japanese TVs?

Im thinking I would definately take a trip to Akihabara if I didnt live on the other side of the world.

Well I’m off to Japan next may, and I’m in England… Seriously hoping they bring the Nintendo Revolution release forward

Because you’d really chop an original into pieces – an AV maybe

That is so true. If I had an original Famicom it would be in a glass case or something. But sadly I only have a front loading Nintendo Entertainment System that I got with the Light Gun and the Powerpad when it came out in the states. But it still works to play Super Mario Brothers 3
