Well if you make it like atka fighter then it's easy... but I dunno about the other ways.

Or he can:
1) Check other posts
2) Buy Ben's book *RECOMMENDED*
3) Check out my website
You could tell him to to make one regurgitating all the information already here. I'm not trying to rip on you, but anyone can tell someone how to build something, but being able to help them is something that only comes with experience. So today's lesson is... build first, build credibility, and then help others with the knowledge you have gained.

Please try to remember that this is NOT AIM, using AIMspeak just makes you look like a 12-year-old, and people probably won't take you seriously. (if anything you'll get flamed to a crisp.)

M'kay? M'kay.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but there are several things that are bothing me about this thread.

Well if you make it like atka fighter then it's easy... but I dunno about the other ways.

Well, this actually doesn't bother me as much, because well I guess because I have no disputes with Metroid Fan (Fusion is my favorite by the way). Actually, I would have to agree with you, but with the exception of the case. Ask anyone its pretty hard to get it as smooth as possible, not to mention managing to keep the little details of the controls (directional arrows, lines around the buttons, having the disk not screw up with a mile of wire inside the case, and did anyone notice the little difrences between the original case and the PSP case? Look carefully)But...

Does n e 1 think i should make a quide to making a ps1p

Wouldn't that require you to make one first?

go to my thread..im ready to make a ps1p! u can find a lot of info there!

Oh, do you mean this?

a psone(mini white one)
a psone lcd
controllers
tact switches
a 7.2 volt 2000-1000000000........mAh rc car battery(they only make them up to like 7000 mAh) Very Happy
and 2 chargers compatable with ur rc battery
After you get those parts, plug the lcd onto the psone and let it sit. Now we have to make a battery for the psone to be powered. Take out 1 of ur rc car battery chargers and cut it in half. Take the half that has the connector that goes into the rc battery and get rid of the half that goes into the outlets in ur wall. Now take the psone power cable and cut it between the yellow part that goes into the psone and the big round thing. Get as much cable as you can on this. Now with the two cables you have to connect them. the Red connecter on the rc battery charger cable goes to the inner wire in the psone power cord. The black one goes to the outer wire in th psone power cord. Now make sure everything is hooked up right and plug it into the back of the lcd that is connected to the psone system. Important: MAKE SURE THE WIRES DO NOT TOUCH!!!!!!!!! Shocked If it powers on......good...if not, u did something wrong and might have fried the psone and/or psone screen. but theres only a 1% chance u screwed it up. Now if it powers on....ur like 50% done! Not so hard is it....well that was the easy part! Take a break and eat some ramen noodles Wink Now you have to build your controller inside the psone case...or where-ever...there are many ways to do this so check out other forums. I am not responsable for any damage to ur psone and most likely if u screwed up ur psone u did something wrong or u didnt follow my directions. hope this helps! Very Happy

Wow! This definitely is NOT something rewrote in your own words from someone else's exact process of building a PSP. Sorry to be... well harsh, but people on these boards will admire you for who you are. I understand that you are trying to help, but you don't exactly have much credibility or experience as a portablizer (as far as we know). You don't have to impress anyone here, just build portables and help others along the way. You may know a lot more about electronics than I do (heck, I fly airplanes), but using others' work as your own won't get you very far (especially with nothing to show for it). I just build because I love videogames(I built the PSP as my first portable, because I love a lot of the old PSX games, and because I have wanted to build one since I saw Ben's about 3-4 years ago.), and because I get paid for it (my SNESP and the NESP were both jobs... meaning they are not mine, but I got paid for them). If you are building just for the sake of feeling important, or for recognition I suggest you find someplace else to do it. Well, now that I have got that off my chest I can go back to playing games. So how about it want to start anew? Hopefully, this message will set newcomers in the right direction. Hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings. Well...

i noticed that too, plagerism, even online, is still kinda a bad thing. but he did have the text in a different color. mebe he meant it as a quote?

After reading Atkafighter's guide on his website, it seems that it wouldn't be all that hard to build a PSp. I'm sure he would know better than anyone that the way he did it still does present some difficulties, but it seems that it would be simpler than Ben's PSp by a long ways.

As for suggestions on posting guidelines, I'll just say right now that we had a user who talked in a modified AIM speak, and people got frustrated with him. He ended up getting banned. Apparently he also tried to impress people on these forums, and what he received instead of admiration was ridicule, which probably also led to his banning. So please, if you're here to try and impress us that might not be the best use of your time, as many of the people here are what I'd consider experts in electronics and they've seen it all. My suggestion is if you want to build portables, build them first, then offer advice on how best to build them. These forums are meant for helping others much more than they are about showing off your stuff and knowledge. Hope this helps you in future posting, I'm not trying to get you to leave or anything. I just think that the other members and myself would prefer if you typed in normal English, and also build up credibility as far as portablizing goes and then begin helping others out.

i'll stop....i only type that way because it's faster. I too, am doing atkafighter's PS1P design.......and finding ways to improve it....not that anything is wrong with his

N Rage64,

I think that a psone portable can be easiest one to make (using a process designed by atkafighter). I've got detailed instructions on how I made mine at the link below:
