We’ve seen the handheld PlayStation 2, and now we have the handheld XBox. This project by Redherring32 hacks the original 2001 console into a more manageable size. It’s not small by handheld standards, but it’s impressive.
Its aesthetics (and battery life) remind me of Game Gear. More details from Gizmodo:
This project required trimming the original Xbox motherboard to size, which took a full four months. Now he offers a guide for those who want to do the same.
The designer said the shell is an original design 3D printed from industrial-grade plastic. If you want to print it yourself, Redherring will provide you with the files. Inside, a streamlined motherboard combines 12 custom PCBs with all the various controls and components. This project is completely open source and you can download all the files for your own handheld on the creator’s GitHub.
