A modder known as thedrew has created a hybrid PlayStation by combining components from two original PS1 consoles onto a custom PCB. The system features native microSD card support and HDMI output, achieved through mods like the XStation and an HDMI daughterboard. The custom PCB integrates efficient components from both PS1 models, resulting in a console that draws less than 2 watts and can potentially be used for a handheld project.
