This is the first time I’m making something for the psp homebrew scene.
I was very interested in the program PSP Memo Recorder of lteixeira so I was searching for a way to test this program without buying the SOCOM headset. I found a site for a “do it yourself psp headset adapter” but it wasn’t that clear to me so I figured it out myself.
In the next tutorial I’m showing with pictures how I made the adapter without soldering.
Things you need for making the adapter:
Scissors, cutting tang and isolation tape (I don’t like soldering but this is possible also).

2 female 3.5mm mini jack

1 four conductor 3.5mm mini jack (check ebay for ipod a/v cable or ps one a/v cable)
http://www.vibe.masegate.nl/psp/fourjack.jpg
Cut al the cables but leave enough space to connect them (or when you make a mistake or strip to much). Also strip all the cables and wires.
Only the coper wires can be twisted togheter.
It should look like this for the four conductor 3.5mm mini jack cable.

(all the coperwires can be twisted togheter)
The 2 female 3.5mm mini jacks must look like this.

(all the coperwires can be twisted togheter)
One of the female 3.5mm mini jacks will become the microphone input.
LOOK OUT, TAKE ONLY ONE FEMALE 3.5 mm MINI JACK.
So take (just) one of the female 3.5mm mini jacks and cut the white wire. It’s not needed anymore.

Make sure that the top/tip (the copper part) of the white cable does not make contact with the red cable or the copper wire.
(Twist the copper wires togheter)
The other female 3.5mm mini jack is needed for the stereo sound.
(Twist the copper wires togheter)
No we have the ingredients for make the adapter.
The next part is about twisting the right wire to the right wire.
Now you can twist all the (loose) copperwires togheter but the best is to do this last. In the next picture I didn't draw these copperwires because te all go togheter.
Make sure these twisted copper wires don't make contact with each other cables. Tape them if posible at the end.
This is how it should be connected/twisted.

some photo's
first the earphones (red to yellow, white to white. Tape these so they can't make contact with other cables, can't say this enough, hehe)
http://www.vibe.masegate.nl/psp/voorbeeld1.jpg
next is the microphone. It's getting hard now to twist it to the wires (theres not much space when you want to do it good and nice).
http://www.vibe.masegate.nl/psp/micro.jpg
(red to red. Tape these so they can't make contact with other cables)
they final result before taping it al togheter.

this what it looks like in action.

Hope somebody can really do something with this tutorial (and read it, my english isn't that good).
For me it works fine and can go on testing the newer PSP Memo Recorder's
Greetzzz Vibe :)
edit:
forgot to tell that this only works with the psp remote.
