A new modification called the PSP Placeable has been developed, which transforms the PlayStation Portable (PSP) into a standard game console setup, complete with Bluetooth controller support. This innovative mod allows users to enjoy PSP games on a larger screen while using modern Bluetooth controllers, effectively converting the handheld device into a home console.
Key Features of PSP Placeable:
- Bluetooth Controller Support: The PSP Placeable mod integrates a Bluetooth motherboard designed by Stephen Cooper, enabling the use of various Bluetooth controllers. This allows players to connect controllers like the PS4 DualShock or other compatible devices for a more traditional gaming experience.
- UMD Compatibility: Unlike many other mods that focus solely on digital games, this setup retains full functionality of the PSP’s UMD drive. Users can still play their physical UMD games, providing flexibility for those with existing collections.
- 3D Printable Shell: The mod includes a 3D printable shell that securely mounts the PSP and provides access to essential ports and buttons. This design ensures that the device remains stable and functional when used as a console.
- TV Output: The setup allows for video output to a TV, enabling players to enjoy their games on a larger screen. This feature enhances the gaming experience by providing better visuals and more comfortable viewing.
The PSP Placeable is available for purchase as either a complete kit or just the parts needed for those who prefer to assemble it themselves. This mod represents an exciting development for PSP enthusiasts looking to expand their gaming options beyond handheld play, offering a new way to experience classic PSP titles.
