[SUGGESTION] an app for lesser PSP's

**Zack3008** · September 4th, 2006, 04:08

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.
