psp ghetto joystick

[ferds108]

I have just started on this project too. I have the analog and male usb assembly complete. I managed to solder four wires on the psp analog. When I stuck the wires out the hole I made for the usb port, and put the faceplate on, everything worked fine. I tried to put the usb female connector inside the faceplate, but it is just too big. I'm going to modify it.

By the way, your "picture tutorial" has WAY too small pictures, I can't see what the heck is going on.

dont the pics get bigger if you double click them?

And i had to modify the port to get it to fit and i still had to cut some plastic from the inside of the psp, the black bit of plastic the button contacts are on.

i used a multi meter to find out wich wires were which.

that picture of the controller wiring.. you do that yourself? bc thats not what i have i dot think and i followed ben's

i used bens pic but turned it through 90 degrees, although i cant remember exactly if that is right but i do know that side of the analogue controller needs to face the psp for the usb mod.

i htnk im going to try and combine bens and yours.. i don thave a multi meter so i am going to ue the IC socket and header.. but im thinking of glueing the ic socket header to the edge of where that button was on teh analog.. how comfortable is just the joystick? i kinda liked bens bc it was kinda like a handle too.. let me know

thank you lol.. they sure do get bigger! would never of foudn that one lol nice job.. uhm yeah so i just omunted my ic socket in the faceplate.. letting my tire glue set in.. then putting psp back together make sure it goes right.. then back apart tomm. bc my analog assembly didnt come today for some reason so if it's not here tomm. i dont know what is goign on i ordered it like tuesday shipped wednesday 2-3 day shipping so saturday is the max which is tomm. , k well me and my bro started over on the jerky can.. looks much nice now.. i got the hole for the stick to actually kinda look lke a hole lol.. now i kinda wish i had a few extra faceplates :] ahah so i could get a cleaner cut on that... it took em a while to get use to my new cutting disc's for the dremel they are bigger and fatter.. i liked my super skinny ones lol... well back to my movei the white squall lol its on showtime.. ha i keep rambling on over nothing.. ahah.. ill post up some pics tomm. night on how this all goes.. i hope this hting works.. a lot of thing's ive done lately havent worked so this should be one that will lol.. especially bc that 99 cent beef jerky can turned into about 7 dollars worth of them lol.. i had to buy a couple more htan it said (i messed up a lot lol) i got one extra now only if that crap tasted good i would of been in a feast mode but i gave it all to my dog except that unopened one lol... ok im done rambling on..

AH HA! got it in and it seems to be a small small gap in between the two cases but it shuts and the ic socket plugs in there... still cant test without an analog assembly lol.., anyway one problem... oh.. yeah. on my d pad.. the left arrow is stiff like i have to push it HARD! all the other ones work fine.. that one is stiff.. that would be the one up against the ic socket i can take pics if needed im not on the rubber though i did cut the rubber a little off the dome... let me know

[joesnose]

give us a pic.

[Evader15]

you know how to fix the d pad button? i havent had time thi morning... i will open it up again once i get my new analog assembly which should be TODAY! lol.. ill get the pic about 11:30, its 10:50 right now.. check back joe, you got a AIM MSN or Yahoo adress? for instant messaging if you do PM it to me , thanks.

Forgot pics.. but i turned it on today to put a few movies on sense i cant play any games bc once again my analog didnt come! ergh! it should definatly be here on monday.. so i was going to copy some movies over, i don thave any analog assembly in there right now.. and i turn it on.. i CANT move to the left in menu or at all the left d pad button did not work at all.. so i took it apart about 3 times trying to get it to work again... i had to run the last wire A on ben's tut all the way around the whole d pad circle then it works its still mass stiff... like i have to hold psp with both hands (like normal) and press rather hard... this is annoying .. any ideas why?

Update:

I took the ps1 controller and took out the button rubber. took out that dome cut it in half put it in the center of my dome on the one.. kinda like a spacer... worked perfect but up is left and down is left.. lol.. so i took it back out.. cut it in half again.. arrange it to be to the complete side of the psp.. now only down is left and left is left.. so now im goign to take it apart one more time.. hope this works
