AcidMods' Razor Nub - Image 1


The possibility of being able to mod your PSP into having a right-side analog stick is starting to materialize itself. Before we know it, these babies could go into mass production, with modding kits included. It was none other than F00 f00 who tipped us off (and later we were also tipped by Rob) about AcidMods' latest project: the Razor Nub.

We know some of you guys are pretty excited already for this. Much to say, this project has actually already gone quite far as it is. As cyberpyrot posts on the AcidMod forums:

This new nub design will be balanced and fit perfectly on the right side to match it's counterpart on the left side.. For all of you who waited for us to get it under the face plate your wait is now over. I designed the new board to fit cleanly. My good man Neubit manufactured the first batch of prototype boards this morning Chinese time zone. This weekend F00 F00 will produce the first PSP to sport the new design.


This weekend huh? You can bet your short nubs that we'll be ready to post an update on this. To F00 f00, send us a video why don'cha? We'll surely be green with envy, but damn, you'll get all of us drooling still, you lucky modder, you!

This is really cool. I wonder if Custom FW could have it use a seoerate control scheme.

the second analog nub simply ties into the four face buttons and gives them an analog feel.

You fool whats this suppose to be for...i mean by even if we have a right analog stick we cant use it with PSP game...
Next time you F.U.C.K.I.N.G idiots should think before making something stupid like this.....Retard!!!!!


   Re: akuma2099 - 2007-04-26
 » I agree

Although I wouldn't call them fools I just don't see the point of this. Yea you can use it on FPS and maybe some future homebrew otherwise there is no real use for it. It's not actually a true analog stick as all it really does is control the x^[]O buttons. I guess if you are really into FPS then it's cool or if you want one just to mess with people then that's cool.

they could just remap the right analog to the d-pad since u cant use the left analog and d-pad at the same time anyway, and then they could remap the controls in a game to use dual analog through the custom firmware. duhhhhhh

 » Puts Sony to shame

Sony should have designed two analogue nubs in the first place. Even the current one we have looks like it was stuck on right at the last minute as an after thought.

Homebrew has made the Psp what it should have been in the very first place. Shame on you Sony, its not enough bringing us a good portable, you should have done everything in your power to make it great. Hell they even managed to mess up the Dpad, my Dpad is only useful after I modded that the Ufighter way.

What was sony thinking? The shoulder buttons, i can understand, but the analog?!

 » This will be useful...

b/c already the Noobz team allowed the use of a keyboard anywhere on the psp. Once you install the mod, someone can actually write lines of code to run as a real second analog nub. This means we can actually use the second analog nub without hijacking the face buttons (Triangle, Square, Circle, and X)
