what is PSPZ ?

hi all in this new site hosting the work on PSPZ.

PSPZ is a combined hardware and software project with the aim of adding to the psp platform features that i believe should have been there from psp's launch.

Features such as

1) full touch screen support,

2) increased battery life

3)re-designed control pad

and originally PSPZ had the aim of adding a fully integrated GSM phone but that part of the project has been dropped mainly due to the unpopularity of the idea!

Being a professional electronic engineer i found that realizing these ambitions was not really that hard and a bit of hard work later, the touch screen part is almost complete!!

As some of you might know the touch screen part of the project

welcome to DCEmu :), cant wait to see screens and hear more about the project, makes you wonder if this will ever force Sony into making a touchscreen PSP ?

welcome to dcemu ;)

Glad to see you finally came over here. I believe this has a lot of potential :)

If you really get a nice touchscreen device for psp, I'll look forward to buying it.

Any chance for USB rumble device? I kind of would love to see that more.

It might be posible to hack something cheap together based on the PSP usb mic setup (maybe latch onto what controlls the mic volume in the usb libs as a way of controlling intencity).

I cannot live without a keyboard and a mouse when it comes to play FPS.

I disagree completely, and after using the games on an iPod touch, UMPC, Tapwave Zodiac Palm pilot, and the DS, I am VERY thankful the PSP does not have this feature.

what may be surprising to some people is that am not much of a game player! PSPZ is not aimed at the games market, its a seacret shot at the PDA market!! With a fully developed ( the vid shows just a proof of concept) OSK it makes all the apps available for the psp acually usable, ie web surfing,im,text editing, even surfing wifi networks. Its true that just an add-on keyboard which is much simpler to achieve can do the same, but this seems to me a much more sexy alternative!! Thus with one app you get a device that can do most of what a pda can do ( except those with gsm phones of corse ) AND play the whole back catalog of psp games, which no pda can !
