    psp psp ghetto joystick

    hello,
    i just carried out my first psp hardware mod, i love racing games and ever since i got my psp i couldnt beleive how unresponsive the thumb nub was. I opened it up once with a veiw to adding a steering wheel but i couldnt work out how to wire it. Then last week i read an article about Benjamin Heckendorn "porting", hacking, a ps2 analogue stick onto his psp. That was it Ben showed me the light, although he just wired it and had the wires hanging out, i didn't like this so i added a mini usb type port to my psp and a mini usb connector to my stick, this makes it detachable and adds scope to making different addons (steering wheel). Thanks to Benjamin Heckendorn, without his schematics i wouldn't have been able to do this, now my psp feels whole.

    I'm including some photos and a link to a video i posted on youtube.



    thanks for your time.

    Joe Stranger.

    WRONG! he has turned a ghetto, rigged up, ugly, open, unsecure proof of concept, and turned it into a permanant hookup, actually functioning easier than the original one invented.

    so no, this isnt old news.

    and joe, this is amazing. i wonder how you got the usb port there? im sure u messed w/ the casing but how did you get the actual port?

    cheers!

    Its just used as it fittted in the small space availiabe, its not the psp's usb its not usb at all. Its just a usb style plug and socket used to connect the ps1 controller to the psp'p analogue controller.
