PSP Touchscreen ?

Gotta say it is pretty cool that it's touch screen but ummm to me it sort of look like a brick psp with a mini touch screen on top of it I do hope this come out. I'm sure it will be something even sony might take interest. Maybe it'll be good for browsing and other stuff

Very interesting, there was some similar work some time ago...

I'd love to see this taken further and with a high rate of adoption.Personally I'd buy it or mod it myself.

yes... psptouchme
I was part of it but there was a lack of money to manufacture a prototype so it was cancelled. it was suppose to be a usb attaching thing with a costume prx.. it was never done..

Looks real to me I mean you actually think he memorized where to put the figure? Or do you think its a DS screen that was taken apart and put over the psp to make is seem fake?

If this is real I could see in the future the maker mass producing them and selling them and they could be easily put into the USB mini B port. Or you could send him the psp and he could do it for you. Similar to the motion plugin for the PSP. :thumbup:

Can't wait to see what happens I remember some time ago theis was attempted but got no where I think it was fake.

I hope this is real!

it kinda looks fake but kinda looks real. i think it would be cool if sony would actually release a psp with touchscreen capabilities. like psp touch or something would be really cool.

If you think about it, the screen needs to be on top of the PSP. And to whoever said this was a DS screen, there's no way. A DS screen is a 4:3 aspect ratio and this is definately the 16:9 that the PSP runs. My guess is that this is a custom made screen that is connected to the USB adapter or a proprietary connection made inside using a flat ribbon cable. But as I said earlier it needs to be on top thanks the the PSP's protective shell. Unlike most hand-held devices you are not touching the PSP's screen directly (anyone who modded the D-Pad of their PSP can attest to this). So while it is a cool idea, the implementation of it would remove one of the safeguards that has protected the PSP's delicate screen. Also, I'm not sure a touch screen can match the PSP's resolution (in dpi that is). And as far as nobody but him developing for it, that's kind of a crazy notion on a homebrew site. How many have coded for LUA? Just the creator? Most probably when he gets this nailed down there will be a SDK released for it. At least we can hope there is.
