Enthusiast modder creates the smallest-ever PlayStation using genuine chips for console's 31st anniversary — redesigned PCB is less than a quarter size of the already dinky PS One revision

A modder named Thedrew has created the smallest-ever PlayStation motherboard, which is a redesign of the PS One revision and uses genuine chips from the original console. This custom motherboard is less than a quarter of the size of the already compact PS One revision, making it the smallest PlayStation motherboard ever made. Thedrew's design focuses on original hardware components rather than modern alternatives like FPGA or SoC, showcasing the authentic Sony CPU, GPU, SPU, RAM, and BIOS chips. The successful prototype marks the beginning of "The PS One Redesign Series," hinting at more projects to come from Thedrew.
