Handheld Steam Portable Sony PSP Mod
Handhelds keep getting larger, with Valve’s Steam Deck leading the charge, but one modder decided to go in the opposite direction. A PSP still slides into a jacket pocket. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions took that contrast and rebuilt an original Sony PSP-1000 as a device he calls Steam Portable, a pocket shell that can stream his Steam library and run retro emulation. Sony never sold anything like it. He used OtherMod’s latest PSPi 6 kit, a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, an 800×480 replacement screen, and a UV printer to stamp Steam branding onto the plastic.

Canceled EA Motive Iron Man Game
Electronic Arts spent nearly four years treating Motive Studio’s Iron Man game like a locked workshop. Announced in September 2022 as a single-player action adventure and the first title in a multi-game Marvel deal, the project then went dark. Fans filled the gap with rumors. Some of those rumors said the game was dead. Friday’s leak, and the company’s own reply a few hours later, said otherwise.

Slystral PSP Go Battery Mod
Sony’s PSP Go arrived as a sleek digital-only handheld with a sliding screen and a design that slipped easily into a pocket. Years later its built-in 930mAh battery remains the one feature that still limits how long people actually play. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions recently installed an open-source solution created by Slystral that swaps in an 8000mAh cell and a custom rear shell. The result stretches play sessions from a few hours into the range of 25 to 50 hours while adding noticeable bulk.
