    Can you make the PlayStation 4 into a handheld portable console? In this video, I set to find out if it's possible, practical, or simply madness!
    I take a PS4 and strip it down to it's bare essentials, add some custom parts, and squeeze it all together in the smallest form factor I could design.
    Enjoy!

    This is SERIOUSLY impressive, and has turned some heads in the portablizing scene. It's crazy how much you were able to accomplish using a blend of old-school portablizing techniques and modern tools. You should definitely make a post on the bitbuilt forums.

      Like a custom BMS and regulator board could cut down a lot on power consumption and heat, and help with battery life. I bet you could benefit from Benge's or RedHerring32's bms design. Subbing out the HDMI/mini HDMI for 19 pin FFC connectors could save you a lot of space and headache. Magnet wire for data lines can save you space and improve data integrity... Lots of small stuff that can add up and really benefit. I'm sure the scene would be happy to help out! :)

Let's face it if this was posted on Bitbuilt, it would be torn apart by the "rats nest" wires, hot glue, ignorance of not using custom pcb design/ffc cables/proper regulators/wiring/etc. OP if you see this, honestly just stick to UA-cam and don't get involved with communities like this. You want to appeal to the general public and not hard core people.

    • @FraserSouris
      @FraserSouris 28 днів тому +23

      Sony doesn't build true portables anymore not because they can't but more because they don't want to. The issue is the business rather than the technology.
      Consider the Switch. The Switch worked for a few reasons: -1- Nintendo's always had a healthy handheld line even before the Switch with the 3DS and -2- Nintendo never focussed on raw graphical power as a selling point. Meaning even though the Switch is 2 generations behind the PS5, Nintendo's main games are stylized enough that they function fine at a PS3/360/WiiU level of power. And -3- Nintendo was already making games at a WiiU level of power with the WiiU. And the 3DS was weaker than the WiiU. So they don't need to rework how they make WiiU games and 3DS style games get a power boost. Essentially, letting them continue as normal and only support 1 system.
      The Steam Deck has the advantage that it can access Steam. And if the user is already a Steam user, then their library carries over automatically. Valve doesn't need to make games for the Steam Deck. They just have to make things easier for other devs and improve Proton. The Steam Deck continues to get new games just by existing.
      None of these advantages apply to Sony. Sony's MO with the PS4 and now PS5 is graphically intense games. That's why the PS5 is designed to have Ray Tracing and stuff.
      And this is also why the Vita failed. The Vita came out in an awkward position. It was sold as "console quality games on the go". But it wasn't powerful enough to run most PS3 games well (see Borderlands 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man 1). But making games for the VITA was still more expensive than making games for iOS or the 3DS. And those games, even if ported to the PS3/PS4, weren't on the level of Native PS3/PS4 games (see Assassin's Creed Liberation. Or how Gravity Rush and Tearaway were essentially remade for the PS4 version).
      If Sony released a PS4 Portable, they'd likely be repeating the same situation as the VITA. Devs would need to prioritize whether to support the portable version and thus not make a "Full PS5 Version" as that would be limited by the portable version. Or prioritize the PS5 version and either skip the PS4 Portable or make a heavily downgraded version of that for it.
      This is also an issue Xbox is facing with the Series S. The Series S is so much weaker than the Series X that devs have to choose between compromising X games to fit the S or compromising S games to fit the X.
      Sony's resources are also already split between the PS5 and the PSVR2. Adding a PS4 Portable means Sony would need to allocate studios to make games for it over the PS5 and PSVR2 to keep it competitive with the Switch and Steam Deck.
      From a business perspective, it's smarter to avoid a Vita/Series S situation and avoid making a handheld.

      @@themonsterunderyourbed9408 I've worked with Xbox and PS consoles for over seven years. In order to make games for them, you need to dumb them down a lot (visuals, performance, control response time) to compensate for having a weaker hardware (this is one of the reasons why cross-platforming for most games is a waste of time). And in order to make the same games be playable on an even weaker hardware in the form of a handheld, you'd have to dumb them down even more. DLSS, FSR and PSSR is dumbing down and they have their limitations. Look at Wukong. If it were to truly take advantage of the U5 capabilities, nobody would be able to play the game with reasonable performance. I mean, sure, the game looks good, but they could've obtained the same looks on U4 without the need of dumbing it down.
      Fraser's analysis is quite good as to why SONY isn't interested in investing in a new "handheld". Even the Switch is not a true handheld.

That problem is the reason Nintendo only makes 1 system (which has essentially been true since the 3DS as they didn’t release hardly anything on the Wii U). Portable devices today require so much investment and time on the software side, it doesn’t make sense to do them and a traditional console anymore. Unless they’re going to run identical software (which could cause developers to gimp the more powerful console version to make the handheld work) or else software that’s generations old, it doesn’t work out.

      Sony can easily create a behemoth like this, but thats not viable to sell as a handheld, its too bulky heavy and too hot even compared to something like an Ally X. It is obviously fine for a single hobbyist user to have made on his own. Not really feasible as a commercial product.

      Consumes a lot more power than all the handhelds. The Ally and Legion Go cap out around 40w of total power draw at maximum. Plus then you have to cool all that and higher power draw means more heat which also means a beefier cooling system is needed. Plus the battery does have to be huge to get a decent play time out of it. Still it's extremely cool and I love seeing these modified consoles that fit inside a handheld

      @FraserSouris 28 днів тому +4

      Sony doesn't build true portables anymore not because they can't but more because they don't want to. The issue is the business rather than the technology.
      Consider the Switch. The Switch worked for a few reasons: -1- Nintendo's always had a healthy handheld line even before the Switch with the 3DS and -2- Nintendo never focussed on raw graphical power as a selling point. Meaning even though the Switch is 2 generations behind the PS5, Nintendo's main games are stylized enough that they function fine at a PS3/360/WiiU level of power. And -3- Nintendo was already making games at a WiiU level of power with the WiiU. And the 3DS was weaker than the WiiU. So they don't need to rework how they make WiiU games and 3DS style games get a power boost. Essentially, letting them continue as normal and only support 1 system.
      The Steam Deck has the advantage that it can access Steam. And if the user is already a Steam user, then their library carries over automatically. Valve doesn't need to make games for the Steam Deck. They just have to make things easier for other devs and improve Proton. The Steam Deck continues to get new games just by existing.
      None of these advantages apply to Sony. Sony's MO with the PS4 and now PS5 is graphically intense games. That's why the PS5 is designed to have Ray Tracing and stuff.
      And this is also why the Vita failed. The Vita came out in an awkward position. It was sold as "console quality games on the go". But it wasn't powerful enough to run most PS3 games well (see Borderlands 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man 1). But making games for the VITA was still more expensive than making games for iOS or the 3DS. And those games, even if ported to the PS3/PS4, weren't on the level of Native PS3/PS4 games (see Assassin's Creed Liberation. Or how Gravity Rush and Tearaway were essentially remade for the PS4 version).
      If Sony released a PS4 Portable, they'd likely be repeating the same situation as the VITA. Devs would need to prioritize whether to support the portable version and thus not make a "Full PS5 Version" as that would be limited by the portable version. Or prioritize the PS5 version and either skip the PS4 Portable or make a heavily downgraded version of that for it.
      This is also an issue Xbox is facing with the Series S. The Series S is so much weaker than the Series X that devs have to choose between compromising X games to fit the S or compromising S games to fit the X.
      Sony's resources are also already split between the PS5 and the PSVR2. Adding a PS4 Portable means Sony would need to allocate studios to make games for it over the PS5 and PSVR2 to keep it competitive with the Switch and Steam Deck.
      From a business perspective, it's smarter to avoid a Vita/Series S situation and avoid making a handheld.

      Also a lot of games on both Xbox 360 and PS3 had improved performance when selecting 720p or 480p. This is because it freed up GPU resources and thus the game ran better. Not all games did this but it was frequent enough to the point where if you used a standard definition CRT or had a TV only capapble of 720p, you'd have better performance than if you had selected 1080p.
