And you can do it, too.
Retro Mod Works
Creative minds usually build portable consoles out of stationary ones, but this time, we're about to see a different transformation.
Tech enthusiasts behind the Retro Mod Works website have turned a PSP into a functional home console, and they can help you do the same.
The project, called PS Placeable, lets you connect a controller to a PSP while keeping access to the UMD drive so you can play games from the portable console on TV. This is a great way to give your broken PSP another chance, although you'll have to rebuild it first, adding some parts and removing others.

If you want to do this to your console, check out the step-by-step guides here. Don't worry, if you don't know what to buy to get the PS Placeable to work, you can purchase everything you need from the site. Alternatively, you can just get the already assembled device, although they are out of stock at the moment.
