Still remember Ben Heckendorn's "solder a PS2 analog to the PSP" project? Unwieldy as it was, dangerous as it could be (because you had to open up your PSP to wire the PS2 stick to the handheld), it was nevertheless a most welcome proof-of-concept that demonstrated that a PS2 stick CAN communicate with a PSP. |

» best mod ive seen
this has to be one of the most usefull and best mods ive seen for the psp so far. its really cool and functional.
all i have to say is:
"I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE...!"
I'd have a shot at doing it only the last time i tried soldering my psp turned out a disaster (the modchip)!

I mean, imagine like SWBF: II on it. It would be so much easier than the other ways. and like some other games it would be easier. idk, this is just amazing

» dual sticks
Since it is just basically taping into the psp built in joystick it isnt like creating another it's just allowing you to control the joystick another way, only way to do dual joysticks would be to have a port on the right side that when pushed donw it would tell the psp that the X button was pushed, when put up it would tell the psp that the Triangle button is pushed etc.

» or..
instead of making the second stick register the
X O / [] buttons you could just use the D-Pad, so homebrew writers could make the D-Pad work like the right analog stick and the nub like the left.

» second joystick
then that would be for homebrew and software made specifically for it, use a joystick that registers as X,O, etc then that can be used in games like coded arms, etc without having to rewrite any code etc. Be just like if the psp had 2 joysticks

Nice, freaking sweet! All this software, homebrew hacking has gotten enought space here! Now this a freaking hack! How about writing a document on how you did it, with pictures of course? I would love to read it!
Much Props, Dude!
What else can we do?

Why do we have to go to these extents to get a good analog stick?
Why didn't they actually design the PSP well and have an analog stick that we don't have to warp our hands in a strange and ultimately painful position just to reach at?
Why do we have to do these mods just to be able to play comfortably?
This is a strange age where we have to solder and mod just to stop ourselves from hurting our hands after playing for 20 minutes.

» this is not using the psp's usb
another port has been added, its a usb style connector simply because its small enough to get inside the psp and it takes the 4 wires needed for this hack.

Great job on that. It appears to be sturdy. A tutorial would be fun to read, although I doubt I would ever perform it.

that's not a very good explanation dude, a plug like when you plug your usb cable to your psp so that you access the memory stick? details! be indepth.

» usb port
He means it's not connected up like a normal usb port, it's just being used as an adaptor to connect the ps2 analog stick to the psp one.
Fantastic mod by the way Joe, I'd definitely love to see a tutorial. Fair play.

Does anyone remember Robotron? Two joysticks and a pocketful of quarters?
Come one silly girls that is your project! Make Sony not only pay attention, but wish they had thought of it!
If I worked for Sony, I would be contacting this guy for his ideas. Keep it up dude!

People are starting to understand how awesome that is. I don't see any stupid comments, makes me happy.
That is a nice mod, I would want to install something like that. I think that'll be a good project. What are the chances of success with no solder skills? x.x

» Change of connector
As long as a "production" version uses a different type of connector. Joe used a USB type connector (I'm sure) out of convenience and size. But as one can see from many of these coments it is too confusing to many people to have a USB connector that isn't a USB connection.
But, doubtful that Sony would pay attention to any advancement from the homebrew (hardware or software) crowd. :`(
