Ó

can we hack it sure works fast! Yesterday, we posted an article on his internal dual analog PSP mod, albeit the prototype, and today, he's now got the new video for the analogs now in the PSP.

Here's what he had to say about it ('cause we wouldn't dare misquote him on anything if we paraphrase his statement):
 

IT IS IN! The analog is in the PSP now, well bore of it sticks out to the faceplate but it still works. And to have a working prototype to go off of that's a great thing to have...it took a lot of work but it was worth it totally..


So there. We totally understand if he seemed pretty frazzled composing that. After all, excitement in heavy doses do affect your overall system. Anyway, he also says that he's currently writing a tutorial on how to this the way he did it. You can expect it to be out some time this week. Also, the supplies you'll be needing are available at the Acidmods.com E-store, so at least now you know where to get them.

kudos to can we hack it!

dude this is totally fake.Why would he make the video in the dark.Also why not show the analog stick? This is fake and qj.net staff shouldnt be so gullible


   Re: shin-baka - 2006-12-07
 » Well...

Of course there is a chance that this is a fake...

But first: If you try to look more closely, you can clearly see the right "analog" stick. (as far as I know, it still isn't really analog)

And second: Most PSP-videos are filmed in a dark enviroment because otherwise the display would reflect too much and everyone would go, like:

"That has to be fake, you can't even see what he is playing!!!11!1oneeleven!"

Guys, you can OBVIOUSLY see the anolog stick.

 » ~~~

They're all just blind fools. They can't even see the bloody right analog stick. Why would he play in the dark? I agree with the answer given above = The psp's screen is BRIGHT, so the CONTRAST makes it better for the camera to "see" the screen. The one asking about what the game is is also rather lazy. Is it that hard to read the comment to see if someone already answered your question? Really, i ask you. Some people don't even think before commenting...

sure you can see the analog stick.But if you have ever taken a psp apart you will see there is no room on the right side for a second analog stick.So obviously this is a well thought out prank

 » Could be...

It could be real, you can clearly see the analog stick. But like the guy above said, there's no room. And I noticed his thumb isn't sync with his movement. For example, look at 00:08 he moves his thumb down but nothing happens... Then when the screen does go down he quickly moves his thumb down again.

 » whyyyyyyyyy

why does everyone have doubt about this??? they did the ghetto (left AND right) stick mod, this is just an analog stick soldered on the regular button triggers, what's so amazing about that??? (I don"t mean to take the mod down, it's still GREAT and takes skills to achieve it)

acidmod team are currently working on a new power board so that the new analog stick doesn't stick out of the faceplate...

please take the time to check their site out i think they are pretty serious about that... www.acidmods.com

 » NOT A FAKE!!!!

ok this is not a fake, there are reasons it was shot int the dark...actualy no reason i just have crappy lighting and it was late at night...

another thing! this is a prototype and dosent always preform at optimum capability. when i press down once sometimes it does nothing due to poor connection.. so i have to try to make it work again..

its not a prank, or a hoax, or a fake.. THIS IS REAL!! IT REALLY WORKS, we are developing it into a solderless ad on mod so everyone can have one not just the slodering pros..

   by dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » to kcao

There is no room inside the psp for this mod.That is why people have doubts.The power connector is in the way so there isnt enough room to put another analog stick.Take your psp apart if you dont believe me.H3ll everyone who doesnt believe me take your faceplate off and see there is no room what so ever

   by dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » to can we hack it?

it is convenient to say "dosent always preform at optimum capability. when i press down once sometimes it does nothing due to poor connection" after someone points out the obvious clue that this is a fake.

   by dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » prove it

In order to prove that this is real.Make another video.One in which your psp is turned completely off.Then on the video you turn the psp on show us your firmware then do something to prove its real.Then boot the game.Then start the game and move the analog stick around.This is the only way to prove it is 100% real.

 » I did make another video

I made another video but i didnt turn it off then on and do all that stuff but since there are so many ppl that are so sceptic i will do it

 » you know what

now that i think about it i really dont need to prove anything to anyone, i know it works and i know we are designing it so you can just change your faceplate with one of ours and it will work.. so when that time comes buy one or dont buy one.. and if for some unforseen reason it dosent make it that far i will release all the photos and a vid on how exactly it works..

but you will see.. this is going to become a reality for everyone to own a psp with 2 working analogs...

however i still am uploading a vid of the firmware check..and i did it using the analog so u could see it works..you have already see it in gameplay so im not going to include that vid...


   Re: JadaBloom (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » I was reading your site about it....

Quick ? are you gonna be molding a flat/matte black finish for the faceplate also when will you know a price range for the faceplate? Cause I'd imagine with the rubber housing and analog nub attachment it's gonna add up.
   by dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » why not?

Why not include gameplay? afraid?.Whatever.Answer me this.How did you get the analog stick to fit under the faceplate?.I know for a fact there is not enough room due to the power connector is in the way so what did you do to make it fit?

   by lamer (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » not fake

This is an easy mod, guys. I'm sure it's not fake. Although it's not really an 'analog' stick, just an 8-point direction stick.

The external analog stick mod is more difficult than this one.




   by Insert name here (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » Why hide it?

You keep avoiding posting pic's and vid's about the analog. Why? Are you afraid someone will copy your work?

Is it 8-point only? You can't shoot with 8-point! But ofcourse you could switch view and movement.

You know what? I don't even care for the analog that much. Shooters are meant for the PC.

   by dude (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » to Insert name here

Thats so true everything you posted in the last post.But the only i repeat ONLY! shooter that is any good to me is medal of honor.It is a bad@S5 game to me.What i love most is the skirmish mode.Its like an online deathmatch without going online.You can play up to 16 computers in skirmish mode.I think it is 7x better than socom and 100x better than syphon filter

   by Mr. Common Sense (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » waste of time

Even if it's real, this is useless. It's a digital stick, not an analog. The best way to do something like this is make a circuit that will close the button contacts a certain frequency so it seems like analog. Like if it's all the way over it will be the same as holding the button down, but halfway it will activate the button half the time really fast. Of course it would be hard to fit the stick and extra circuitry inside the psp so I'd just forget about trying.


   Re: Granpasmurf (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » I can do what you want

I can create a two step switch with an oscillating chip which will close and open the circiut with a pulse then when you push it further it will fully open the switch.. But it would have to be an add on to our original plans..

 » I have a 3 speed Oscillating chip

I used it to do this mod

http://www.acidmods.com/tutorials/policemod.asp

If you want I can make a schematic on how to do a stepped digital nub after I release the analog to digital replacement board..
   by Ritter (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » looky

i think it might be fake, because is there enough room in a PSP to add such a mode as that? also you see the reaction time from when he moves the analog stick to when the character actually moves? it appears he is faking it, like a video and he memorized the movements to fake it, get it?

   by can we hack it? (Unregistered) - 2006-12-07
 » well whatever

ok belive what you want im done explaining stuff you will just see when we finish this mod..

TO DUDE:/ i did include gameplay!! did you even watch the stupid video??? smarten up.

I thank all of you who can belive something you see, it is real...(why would I try to mess up any reptuation i might have with a fake)

and to all thoes who just arnt happy with anything, oh well dont buy the finished product from us, you can make your own..

once again thanx for watching my video and all of that. and this is the last thing you are going to hear about this until the finished deal..

 » You guys need to stop.

I know this guy, I trust this guy, and I believe this guy. And Ill be the first registered people to admit to it. Pansies. If you dont believe me or him, Stfu. As he said, wait for Him to release this to the public, and you fools will be putting your foots in your mouths then. All you fools shouting "FAKE! FAKE" Why dont you log in, so we can see who you really are, and flame YOU for being wrong when he releases this stuff. You all need to keep your "Fake" Comments, and stick them where the car wont start.

   Re: Armada651 - 2006-12-08
 » This is "insert name here"

I don't say it's an fake, I just don't trust all this hiding.

If it is indeed real, it looks nice. But is that faceplate in the vid the only one you can choose? Or is there an normal black one too?

I now registered an account as you wanted. Armada is my nick I use everywhere.
