Found an old psp that had a cracked screen. So I replaced it with another one I got off amazon and added CFW for the first time. Been having a blast with tekken 5 dark resurrection and MGS peace walker

Well, someone recently gave me a portable dvd player that couldn't read discs anymore, so I ripped out the drive and replaced it with a Pi Zero and some extras (audio circuit, ethernet port, and one of those usb to psone controller adapters) I had lying around. Voila, instant portable retropie . The rest of the dvd player is left in because it can also read files from SD, usb, or cable.
That's cool, did you just run the pi-zero though the AV port for the screen? How did you cut the plastic so well?
Yeah, the DVD player had one of those 3.5mm av in jacks, so it was just a matter of finding out which solder point was what. Which is easy enough, I just used a composite jack I had lying around. Afterwards I could just solder two wires (video and ground) directly to the pi, and three wires (audio l,r and round) to a small self built audio circuit.That's cool, did you just run the pi-zero though the AV port for the screen?

I'm not sure why they didn't just pull power from the controller port honestly... Motors don't draw much at all.Modded a N64 rumble pak to not need batteries today.
They would of had to of used smaller motors as if you run more than 2 battery-less rumble packs on a N64 they draw too much power and don't work.I'm not sure why they didn't just pull power from the controller port honestly... Motors don't draw much at all.
