Dual nubs: PSP modding in time-lapse video

Posted Feb 17, 2007 at 01:41AM by Victor B. Listed in: Mods, Videos Tags: Acidmods

F00 f00 of Acidmods sent us a tip about a new video he put up on the internet for modders everywhere to enjoy. As he tells us, this is one guys PSP modded to the hilt over five days, with the entire process compressed into under two minutes of video.

Obviously, it's not going to be a very insightful video as to the details of modding, but it's entertaining as heck. Best of all, he also shows off the dual nubs he's put into the PSP, which is a stylish alternative to installing giant analog joysticks on the sides. The video's a piece of work, and so is the PSP he's modded (Lucky Vinze!). We suppose you can bask in the awesomeness, if only for a little while. Enjoy!

» leds

I can't play with all those lights, that's why I love the PSP spny put the leds exactly where your hands will be when you play, so you can't see them, leds bother me, but still this is a very cool mod ^^ , for show NIIIICE, for playing naaaaa.

Re: F00 f00 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» leds

You didnt notice, the lights can be turned on/off via the wi-fi switch.

Re: ? (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» W/ the switch in the off position

wouldn't the wifi be turned off by the switch or is that function disconected

Re: F00 f00 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» wifi

Yeah, it dose turn it off.

by MickeyMouse (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» Not so cool

Its cool to mod, but putting shinning lights on a transparent PSP is kinda...gay...
Put a pink light then...it will be 100% gay and not 60%.

Re: Nicko01 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

Your 100% gay and not 60%.

that guy is a real pro man, i woud love that flashlight and second joystick..
Im wondering how they get it to work
even though ugly faceplate

by !st (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» Maybe.

[color=red]The 2 nubs are cool, he needs to make the second one the same as the original. The lights are to bright and are a waste of time and battery. The clear case is raunchy also. [/color]

Good work on the mod though.

Re: Advertising -

Re: some random guy (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

its hard to find an original analog stick. i tried getting one after i ruined mine doing some modifications and it has a very rough feel...

Re: F00 f00 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» nub

There both sony nubs

Re: Anti-Steve (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» why?

dude I think it was better that he used a clear case because otherwise you couldn't really see the second nub in action... why does it even matter what the case looked like or what anything at all looked like? that functionality is awesome!

by Cyberblade (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» Full cases?

I just want to know where the heck they got a full PSP replacement case. Everywhere I look it's just replacement faceplates, nothing about the backplate and UMD door.

by bambam (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» *****!

That's teh *****! Those lights are awesome! Pimp my PSP ftw! And that second thumbstick..... I want one :(

hey, someone post on that account. Perhaps about psps?

by lol (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

Does that anolog stick function as an actual stick alone? Or does it replace or mimic the 4 buttons?

Re: NIGathan (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» .

im not sure for this specific mod but other dual anolog mods just mimic the

» Hey I have a couple questions

What does just the second analog stick setup cost? Also, how much did you have to solder to hook up a second analog stick?

» I want that PSP.

I want that.

lol so is the second nub integrated into the same function as pressing traingle, x, circle or square?

by Tydeus (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17

» :P

So that means you have to have the LED on while playing online? Thats gotta suck :P I like it though, how much would something like this go for?

by rickybobby (Unregistered) - 2007-02-18

» where the clear housing!!!

Damn it, where do they sell the clear back housing for the psp? I can find faceplates, and a umd door... But where is the complete kit available.
The dual joystick mod is great, btw.

by Diablo2224 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-18

» Funny... for sure

Well isnt that something? lol. Take that Sony! If they could do that why not figure a way to install that 8gb of flash memory we all wish we had on the psp. Now, wouldnt that be something.

by Vinze (Unregistered) - 2007-02-18

» ITS MINE !!!
