A user demonstrates that it is possible to use a PS4 as a portable console
Being able to create a portable console using a normal console is quite complicated, there are many factors to take into account, but the main problem we know is the dimensions of the device’s hardware, since it can complicate things a lot. But this is not a problem for those users who are dedicated to creating fully functional projects that allow us to see the ability that certain components may have to adapt to various changes.
In this case, content creator Restore Technique has used his knowledge to create the PS4Ta version of the console of sony with a very different appearance, since it is portable, with a structure similar to that of the latest generation ones we can find. In this case, the user eliminates all the unnecessary elements that this device incorporates to try to maintain the balance between temperatures and a low energy level, completely modifying the motherboard of a PS4 Slim.
The work behind it is extremely large, and it is necessary to eliminate some aspects of the board from both the console itself and the controller, since the controls it incorporates are, obviously, based on the original PS4 controller. The device has a 12 V and 10,000 mAh battery pack to ensure that it has enough power, while it incorporates a 7-inch IPS screen, in addition to integrating all the buttons of the Dual Shock controller to convert it into a portable model.
Although the portable aspect is quite debatable, since it has dimensions of 249 x 156 x 49.2 mm, while its total weight is 1,700 grams, something that makes it a really heavy alternative.
