Nobody has a real prototype on a psp touch screen...despite many tries. It works like an analog stick, but just search for psp touch screen on here and see if you can figure something else.

Also, to have the touch screen work, there would have to be a custom firmware made to work with it.

and as robin said:

i think this would be virtually impossible as the psp desnt use a pointer to navigate the menu's so the touch screen would need to comvert the touch into a way that the psp understood like an arrow tap or a press of the X,O,[],/\ - or you ould have to create some sort of mouse pointer in the firmware. basically it would be very expensive and time consuming and would be nion impossible

sumhow im doupting he would, he would if sony creates a psp with touch screen but he wouldn't do it just cas 1 or 2 people get POC touch screens running, If you wanting to fully encorperate a touch screen mod learning Cpp or C or sumfing for like ages is probably betting on a better horse. Well gud luck to anyone who can get this going and u will be a legand if u can

A legend? i don't know what is better than a legend, but you could get some serious money doing that for other people probably.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #11 on:** May 11, 2008, 09:04:54 AM »

yeah you could make some money but if he did incorporate it then people would all be doing it so then it would not be a waste on just a couple of people

How about whoever wants a bit of internet fame, codes a plugin for custom firmwares.
What would DaX use this for?
Last time I looked, he is a soft modder.

We can all "hope" that someone else will do it or us.
DaX has a life too you know.
It's the same thing with F00 f00, all the noobs come here "f00 f00 can u mod ma psp for mi plz". No wonder he stopped.
Dax will stop coding custom firmwares if he gets hassled by everyone "put this in your next project" all over the world.
Remember last time he stopped? Next time it will be for good. Mark my words.

BTW, nice find.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:52:04 PM »

thank you and i thought he only stopped 2 get sony off his back 4 a while and then started making cfw again only under a different cfw name was oe b4 and now its m33 am i right

so your saying if i pus this onto my psp itll be touch screen?

Gamer4life · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2008, 10:24:30 PM »

i dont know like i said i ust found it cruising for pics and info about the god of war bundle coming out next month and these guys r saying that you would have 2 modify ur cfw 2 accept and reconize its there i guess

whitetop · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2008, 06:28:40 AM »

it just looks like the nds one just changed but nice find

Kinda useless right now, no real point in buying it unless you know what to do

Gamer4life · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2008, 01:48:18 PM »

yeah i guess ur right vox there is no point in buying it now unless some1 makes a compatible firm ware 2 accept and reconize the touch because i bet that every1 kinda hates browing on the psp because of the way u got 2 enter the web address and if u want 2 post something it would be hard as h**l but its easy on the ds because thats what im using the dsl web browser and its so easy 2 write because of the touch screen and btw what does POC mean

VoX · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2008, 03:22:17 PM »

POC stands for Proof of Concept and it shows that something is possible

Gamer4life · « **Reply #20 on:** May 14, 2008, 03:47:46 PM »

oh ok see i didnt know because u guys on am use alot of letters instead of the real words and i have figuired out most of them but i dont think i have seen all of them maybe seen half of them and have figuired out most of the ones i have seen maybe there should be a stickied thread post about it 4 every1 2 c u know like this
POC =proof of concept
wts= want to sell
lmao= laughing my a** off
i think some1 should do this so that every1 including n00bs 2 found out what u mean

DuMaMay · « **Reply #21 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:21:28 AM »

lol theres no way in hell you can put a touchscreen on a psp....

Gamer4life · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2008, 11:01:58 AM »

yes u could it woulld just take a while 2 work it out and i hope sony does this

ApheX · « **Reply #23 on:** May 21, 2008, 12:03:01 PM »

I reckon it is possibal but the time it would take to sort out how to wire it up, develop software and finally build the thing, you'll go get brain rot, lol! let sony do the work, i'm sure they will bring something like this out but hey, if anyone pulls this of then i'll pay to get it done.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #24 on:** May 21, 2008, 12:39:47 PM »

yeah well sony needs 2 do that and also do other stuff
1.put a second nub in
2.taks out ac charge so the psp can charge through usb
3.make the psp super fast and have more internal memory
4.CHANGE THE UMD FORMAT
5.make the psp able 2 read all the types of movie formats
6.incorporate some cfw apps like psptube n2 there ofw or just give up and work dax 2 make fw thats people like

DuMaMay · « **Reply #25 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:20:54 PM »

no you cant put a touchscreen on a psp...you would need multiple chipsets and a cfw built for that. plus you would need games that were combadible with the touchscreen in order to use it like the ds.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:39:12 PM »

well nintendo did why cant sony
hold up question nintendo is in america and sony is in japan or china right what i mean is are the makers and designers of nintendo products r in the usa and sony product makers and designers r in japan or china am i right

DuMaMay · « **Reply #27 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:42:55 PM »

im talking about currently, you cant mod a touchscreen onto a psp-1000. period.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #28 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:59:59 PM »

well im talking about the slim and why cant u do it on a phat and sony might be thinking of doing this in a new psp(that is if they make a psp 3000)

DuMaMay · « **Reply #29 on:** May 21, 2008, 03:02:46 PM »

because making something touchscreen like the ds isnt easy and i highly doubt sony will go into the touchscreen market other than pdas and laptops. its just not profitable and mainly expensive. look at the ps3 with the bluray player-its sales sucks

because the bluray raises up the price so i could image seeing a raise in price for a huge lcd touchscreen on the psp

kink192 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 04, 2008, 12:39:00 PM »

anyone else read the description? its made to go over top the already existing screen and the connectore looks like you can put wires into it and maybe rig it to the analog, iunno my 2cents

This topic should be

, its not for the PSP, its for the LCD its self which can be hooked up to a different source. It can be programmed to be used, NOT for the PSP

IndyChav · « **Reply #37 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:15:20 AM »

No it should be moved by that theory. However there is more likelihood of it being used for the PSP as it is the only console with an LCD screen and analogue therefore the only one that it can be used with

VoX · « **Reply #38 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:23:05 AM »

The actual touch screen is more software based, It was designed by Sparkfun for use in a computer not a PSP

Gamer4life · « **Reply #39 on:** June 05, 2008, 12:28:39 PM »

it also 4 use with the psp

kink192 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 10, 2008, 08:28:53 AM »

no more arguing, when i get a phat ill try it out, i was thinking of wireing it to the analog and pulling a kind of nintendo ds-ish thing, but i need money and my right arm [broken finger] so until then your going to hafta wait, but as soon as i get set up ill work on it, anyone feel like helping m out with theory and ill do the physical work?

VoX · « **Reply #41 on:** June 10, 2008, 09:14:18 AM »

GUYS!, This is not for the PSP!. It for use with their Sharp screen which happens to be used on the PSP. It also works for other devices, and the touch screen is simply an addon for it. True, it could be used with the PSP (I emphasize on the "Could") but not with changing the touch screen its self and heavy hardware and software modding.

kink192 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 10, 2008, 09:24:19 AM »

so what your saying is that its not for the psp just the screen, which is on the psp, not to be rude but ive realized this, but the possibility is still there, dont shoot down a dream man, im still going to try it, it will be wired to the analog on the psp, i intend to do it with OFW. i dont see why it couldnt work, both the screen and the analogue are well analogue. it would just take time,planning, and a cool head. jeez...calm down, if you want you can be the first on the team of people helping with this, i know youre not real supportive of this but c'mon, what have we got to loose?

IndyChav · « **Reply #43 on:** June 10, 2008, 09:47:59 AM »

by your theory you could say LEDs are not made for the PSP cos they're not but there still a mod.

Biger peakers that some people have done aka MooToo with his supersound mod. They were for a phone but its stil la PSP mod.

Likewise this touchscreen, it maay not of ben made for the PSP but comeone wants to use it in a PSP mod therefore it has a right of passage.

Kink I wish you luck on both the financial issues and the broken bone =]

VoX · « **Reply #44 on:** June 10, 2008, 10:11:12 AM »

I'm not saying stop, I'm just stating what it really is. It is possible to hook it up to the PSP, but it requires alot of work. I know how to get this thing running, and I somewhat know how to interface it with the PSP if you guys are interested. It will not work by simply wiring it up to the analog contacts because though they are analog signals they are two different standards. I hope this sums up what I have been saying

kink192 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 10, 2008, 10:17:35 AM »

ok ok i understand, what exactly do you mean two different standards?

VoX · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2008, 10:23:19 AM »

I mean there two different signals, you cant just wire them up and expect it to work. Well the touch screen works by outputting the X and Y positions via the 4 pin connector, the analog doesn't work like this so they are in compatible. Of cause it is more complex than this and even if they worked the same they probably wouldn't work either

kink192 · « **Reply #47 on:** June 10, 2008, 10:26:30 AM »
