[SUGGESTION] an app for lesser PSP's

Now, I don't know about everyone, but I know that me, and others in DCEMU have PSP's with "broken" L, R, START, SELECT, and HOME buttons(meaning that the PSP recognizes these buttons as always being held down). I noticed a while back that when I use some sort of homebrew letter input(as in IRSHELL's password input), when the alphabet and numbers keep switching(for it thinks I'm pressing L), if I actually press L, the switching will stop, pause, momentarily, thus the PSP actually recognizes my pressing L, when it thinks it's already being pressed. If it's possible, could someone make an app for this?? My idea was that it would ask which button to fix, then reboot to the xmb so you can do anything until your next reboot, and somhow nullify the button you selected until you actually press it(I supposed it would be to the PSP something like a double rapid button when you press it), and when the said button isn't "held down" as the PSP thinks, the program quits 'til when the button is being held for, say, 10 seconds or longer, when it comes back and does its duty. This may sound complicated, but I hope through all my bad grammar a coder can usderstand the picture I am trying to paint. And if this is in the wrong section, could a mod please move it?? thnx, and thnx for listening, everyone. :D

It's a good idea. I didn't know so many people hade broken buttons though... :(

couldn't they be like replaced or repaired?

Or just try to open the PSP and see whats really going on.

Its not being smart. The PSP is not a big complex engineering device. Its your average board with connectors to each button and joypad. I love my psp

PS Have fun in bed. ;)

aol.com sorry didnt finish it. Oh i will had a football game and im all beat up i will get back on the net tonight

guys u know u can use a can of spray to avoid getting dirt and dust in ur psp...or u can use one of those aero bed pumps like me(free air):p

My suggestion, either fix your PSP (Sticky buttons are not a hard thing to fix) and start washing your hands :), or buy a new one and look after the damn thing, I know if my PSP buggered up I'd get another quicksmart.

As long as your warranty has ran out, or you don't care about voiding your warranty, I don't see the problem with looking inside. But before you do it, I would get a soft cloth and canned air to stop dust getting onto the screen.

i look after it, just a defect in the 1st and/or 2nd gen PSP, a new one will be TA-082, SONY fixin it will be updated and crud, and doin it myself might damage, brick, or put more gunk in it, though thnx. the most helpful post was blazed247, thnx.
