both are good screens, I'm not sure how well a 2.6" lcd would work for a psp, but I'm sure it would work. It somewhat depends on your choice of batteries and price range.

I'll tell you right off the bat, the PSOne screen will be better/easier to use then the Hip screen. The PSOne screen will be taking and running on the same voltage (7.2) well if you go with the Hip screen you have to get a 10v battery or replace the 7808 regulator with an LDO and still you'll have to input about 8.4 or 9.6v.

I wish you luck on your PSOne.

i would go for the playstation screen because a 2.6" screen is a lot to small and around a 5" screen is perfect for a custom built portable
