http://pspupdates.qj.net/The-Ghetto-...g/49/aid/69875

and i wonder why the black thing around the stick fits so well. it looks like if its made for the psp...caqn you tell me what exactly it is.

Zhank you for your great work!!!

the shell is made out of something called milliput, which is like plastacine but it sets rock hard then its sprayed black

Would you mind trying to make a fully(or almost at least) functional PS2 controller hookup? By that I mean with a port so that you can remove the controller when you want to.

Edit: Post a tutorial if you do it. :D

thats beyond me dude, involves more than just wire and solder, mico controllers? theres 9 pins on the playstation controller plug and at least 16 buttons, i dont get it! i didnt work out the schematics on this one it was Ben Heckendorn, look here: http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/h...your-sony-psp/

Joe, Thanks for giving me the inspiration. I have come so close. i spend over 4 hours tonight i got an xbox controller i am willing to use a PS1 controller if that is how you knw it works and fits with the mini usb. i have everything... i just cant seem to find out how you got that usb end to fit so nicely on your joystick, please just let me know... i have decent soldering skills and am willing to drill as i too love racing games and i am hating the slider ... pics of the inside would probally do it, i too was following the how to on engadget, i havent gotten to the psp yet even after more than 5 hours! i have ran into problems. let me knw please respond you can PM me, email me, if you have AIM PM me your adress i have some ideas i would like to share with you and maybe we can work together to make some of our ideas come togehter and work, let me know thanks
^sorry for long post lol

well i have a few de-soldered ps2 analog parts....its not easy soldering the jumpers and the cables, so now im experementing with putting the analog switch on a pcb board and just using a circuit writer to make the jumps....

i cant seem to get inside a mini-usb end far enough to solder my own wires in tho, not as easy as i thought it was gonna be, so i guess ill just have to do it ghetto first, and then work on a usb connector...

if you wanted to go into business, you would just have to sell a new faceplate w/ the chiseled out spot already done, usb hooked up to the analog stick. then just sell the addon.

/shrug ill keep ya posted on my progress!

kando, i kinda have the problem you have also.. my solder skills are decent and all i can see is a tiny end where the odl wires were soldered.. my wires area a bit big .. and i want to do iti like joe did where the usb was actually kinda in the ps1 analouge bc then i can just mount it right up.. joe let me know i know its only been a night but i want to do this today! lol i will get my hands on a ps1 controller i hope! so that you can help me do it the way you know how. i also have a xbox controller that loooks like the same thing so le tme know ineed some help!

[Evader15]

after re reading the post you had about trying a pic tutorial.. did you leave the same wires that ewre already on the usb connector? then just pull them through to get it up to the controller> if so how did you know which wire went to which thing? so when i plug it in the wires connect in the right way

[Evader15]

i got soo much further! i got the whoel analog wired up and the usb mounted in the stick... then i move onto the psp... got it apart.. then i try soldering up the wires to the circuit board... of course they have to be soo small and close to gehter i hat ethat lol.. well i got them all but one and the usb connecter slid off the table with the wires connected and the third down pin on the circuit board came off!!! so i looked up the new ones on ebay for a new analog assembly.. about 15 shipped from ebay.. ok thats fine but not at this moment... so i took some CA Tire Glue from my nitro rc's... and i solderd up the wire then glued down the pin thingy onto the circuit board.. its drying.. i hope this works!.. the hole is lined up good .. i just need this to work.. and if it doesntr work and my slider works then i didnt do hte usb right .. so untill Joe helps me out on how to wire up the usb's so they connect right i will be done with this project... and i will get a new board! lol .. i hate soldering! i got my good soldering iron with a pointed tip working.. and then i break the darn board.. i was using crap long and hard to use ones.. this is intense lol.. joe let me know
