Modder Created PlayStation Handheld Out of Rare PS1 Controller

We’ve seen a lot of cool controllers, but this is both from the past and the future. Modder Hairo Satoh turned a rare old Takara’s Roulette controller released in Japan in 2001 into a functional PlayStation handheld.

First spotted by Dexerto, the controller can handle Mega Man 8, Resident Evil Survivor, Metal Slug, and The Contra Adventure. The added LCD display, USB-C port, memory card slot, back triggers, volume wheel, and dual stereo speakers make it a valid gaming option even among current-gen Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch consoles.
