The solution? You could just buy an old PS2, or if you\u2019re looking for a more modern gaming experience, build a PS2 portable console using original hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Console modder <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LQ7x2b6BlHk\">GingerOfOz<\/a> chose the latter option. He hunted down a PS2 Slim, trimmed down the motherboard to its essentials, and shoved it into a 3D-printed case with PS Vita buttons. The modded handheld, called a PS2 Eclipse, features a 5-inch 480p display, a USB-C data and charging port, built-in speakers, and a two-hour-ish battery life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Built A PS2 Portable - The PS2 Eclipse\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LQ7x2b6BlHk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Because GingerOfOz stuck with original hardware, the PS2 Eclipse runs games at full speed without any of the compatibility issues experienced in emulation. Game ISOs boot from a USB drive, which does extend load times a bit <em>but<\/em> reduces the console\u2019s footprint (and probably doubles the battery life).<\/p>\n<p>There are still a lot of kinks to work out here, of course. GingerOfOz says that he had to stick with a 480p display because newer panels don\u2019t play nice with the PS2\u2019s interlaced video, and some games don\u2019t detect the handheld\u2019s built-in controller. But overall, the PS2 Eclipse looks like a wonderful handheld.<\/p>\n<p>For more info on the PS2 Eclipse, including building materials, check out <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gingerofmods.com\/eclipse\">GingerOfOz\u2019s blog<\/a>.
