PSX Retropie

For my brother's birthday I wanted to make something special. As the original Playstation is near to his heart I converted an old one to hold a Raspberry Pi, with completely functional controller ports, power & reset buttons, power LED and USB ports in the memory slots.

Several people asked for the 3D models so I've decided to upload them here.

I made somewhat of a build log with a whole bunch of images.

The model of the PSX is an SCPH-5552 (european).

NOTE: Many of these models are based on both parts I already had on hand and others I've bought (some of which I've listed below). This print requires you to modify the PSX case itself quite a bit to make them fit (USB ports, cooling fan and more). This is not a straight & easy build but it might make a good start.

These were some of the parts I've bought for this project from a swedish electronics store, some I already had on hand.

• USB-A female pcb straight (two for the front USB).
• USB-C breakout board (for power connector in the back).
• USB cable A-male – C-male 0.5m (RPi power to USB-C on PCB above).
• Micro switch D2F on-(on) no lever (for the reset button).
• Micro switch D2F on-(on) with lever (for the power button).
• PS1 / PS2 adapter for USB.
• Found a short HDMI micro male to HDMI female in a local shop.
• Used an old PSU fan for cooling (12V but running at 5V, slowly).
• LED's are I believe 5mm ones, unsure of strength.
• Assorted USB & network cables for cabling

The Raspberry Pi mount I created is a remix of this one:
