This PS One Sleeper Build Packs a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for Emulation and More #piday #raspberrypi
MrNiceThings Posted this PSone upgrade over on reddit! Write up from Gareth Halfacree on Hackster.io:
Taking off the lid of the system reveals a custom carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, cooled by a chunky passive heatsink. The board brings out a single full-size HDMI connector, two USB Type-C connections, and a DC jack for power, all at the rear of the console — while what MrNiceThings calls a “weird octopus” of a hand-wired Arduino Pro Micro compatible microcontroller board connects the front gamepad ports to a third USB connection.
Keep an eye out for updates, MrNiceThings will post a GitHub link soon!
While this was originally designed for use with a specific Game of Life game on PSX, you can bring it into the modern era an turn it into a USB controller that can be used for emulation, game control, and perhaps most importantly — as a very fast mouse clicker!
