PSPi 6: Raspberry Pi in a PSP. This passion project transforms the classic PSP 1000 into a modern handheld using a Raspberry Pi. The custom circuit board replaces the PSP 1000 mainboard, allowing a Raspberry Pi to serve as the device's brain.
Users can play retro games and emulators, run full Linux distributions, and use most Raspberry Pi software. Key features include a high-quality 800x480 LCD with adjustable brightness, efficient charging with real-time battery monitoring, and power-saving modes. Original PSP buttons and joystick are used for control, supporting two extra buttons and an extra joystick.
LED indicators and on-screen display provide system status. The open-source hardware is released under a Creative Commons license. Compatibility is exclusive to the PSP 1000 series and fits Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero 2W, and CM4 (with carrier board).
Available operating systems include Retro Pie, Lakka, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, and Batocera. Boards are available ready-made at othermod.com or as DIY kits. Project development is complete, with boards shipping and minor ongoing improvements to documentation.
