Playstacean Evolves The PSOne Into The Crab It Was Always Meant to Be
1 min read
Summary
Modder GingerOfOz recreated Anh Dang’s carcinization of gaming consoles in CAD to create a shell replacement for a battered PSOne console, bringing the original concept to life.
The design is slightly less curvy than the rendered image and requires some artistic licence to transition from concept to reality.
The articulating crab controller is a fully functional PlayStation controller with movable arms, satisfying the whimsy of the original design.
GingerOfOz’s shell replacement is a refreshing change from the constant race to create more complex handheld consoles.
Other notable console mods include an Apple M1 inside a Wii and getting defunct Ouya consoles up and running again.
