Transform Your PSP into a Mini PS2 with Bluetooth Controller Support!

Imagine resurrecting your old PSP, even one with a cracked screen, and transforming it into a compact PS2 that connects to your television. This is the exciting concept behind Retro Mod Works’ latest creation, the PS Placeable.

Recently highlighted by Macho Nacho Productions on YouTube, this innovative modification allows you to play your favorite PSP games on a big screen with the added convenience of Bluetooth controller connectivity.

Currently, Retro Mod Works offers prebuilt units for $274.99, but due to overwhelming demand, these devices are now waitlisted. The company, which operates as a 'one-man show,' has experienced a surge in interest that has exceeded their expectations.

For those looking to save a little money, Retro Mod Works also provides a modification service for user-supplied PSPs, available for $174.99. Additionally, DIY enthusiasts can pre-order the necessary parts to convert their own PSPs, although the shipping date for these components remains uncertain.

To utilize the PS Placeable, you’ll need either a PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 model, as earlier versions don't support video output.

The mastermind behind this project, known as Dan, expressed his frustration with having to purchase digital versions of games he already owns physically. He created this mod not only to enable Bluetooth functionality but also to maintain the integrity of the UMD drive.

Dan's mission is to breathe new life into damaged PSPs, making it unnecessary to rely on the console's screen.

If the cost of the mod kits is a barrier or if you lack the technical know-how for DIY modification, fear not! The PSP Go, which lacks the traditional UMD drive but supports Bluetooth controllers and video output, remains an accessible alternative for those eager to play PSP games on a TV without the hassle.
