Modder Creates First-Ever Portable Xbox Using Original Console Parts

A dedicated modder has transformed an original Xbox motherboard into a handheld device, showcasing ingenuity and potential for Microsoft's portable gaming future.

The handheld Xbox features a 9-inch 480p display, 100W USB-C charging, and plans for Wi-Fi 6 support.
Redherring32, the modder behind the project, spent over four months reverse engineering and trimming the Xbox motherboard.
12 custom PCBs were designed specifically for this project, highlighting the technical complexity involved.
The project is open source, with guides and schematics available for others to attempt similar builds.
Microsoft has not yet developed an official handheld Xbox, but this mod could inspire future innovations in portable gaming.
