Image: Hacker News (100+ points)

Why it matters for readers: You can reuse an old PSP to run retro games or a full Linux system using existing Raspberry Pi software.

  • PSPi 6 replaces the PSP 1000 mainboard so a Raspberry Pi can be used as the device's brain.1
  • Supported Raspberry Pi options include Pi Zero, Zero 2W, and CM4 (with a CM4 Carrier board); the Universal Carrier is planned to add stereo output.1
  • Features include an 800x480 adjustable-brightness LCD, audio via PSP speakers or headphones, power management with charging and battery monitoring, and use of original PSP buttons plus extra inputs.1
  • The project is open-source hardware released under a Creative Commons license with hardware designs, firmware, and software provided.1
