Modder transforms PlayStation 2 into a foldable handheld
A custom-built PlayStation 2 Duo proves that nostalgia can be reshaped, though not necessarily miniaturized. By repurposing a flexible OLED screen salvaged from a Royole FlexPai, a hardware enthusiast has successfully engineered a folding handheld console that manages to shrink the original motherboard into a 3D-printed, clamshell enclosure.
The project represents a significant technical undertaking, requiring the creator to strip down the classic console hardware and integrate custom controller components. While the device achieves a folding form factor, the resulting handheld remains substantial, lacking the true portability of modern portable gaming systems. The builder has made the design files available for those interested in replicating the hardware, provided they have access to a 3D printer and the patience to navigate the intricate internal modifications required to keep the vintage hardware functional in its new, unconventional chassis.
