Dual nub + PSX

[z270]

im kinda curious on how this razor x actually works? im thinking of getting one to use with ps1 games but ive read in a couple places that it replaces the 4 buttons (circle, triangle, etc)...if it does this then obviously theres gonna be some problems. is there a way to actually make a whole new analog stick without replacing any of the other functions, or is that a thing of the future?

you cannot add more buttons to the psp. the psp would not recognize it as a button and thus you won't be able to use it as a second analog stick.

i see i see, even with that new 360 board coming out?

[SYSTEM aka (Cyberpyrot)]

the razor does not replace the four face buttons. You do not loose the functionality of the four face buttons

so then how does it work, if you dont mind me asking?

[Tri-edge]

you can use both at the same time if you wanted

[z270]

so then it doesnt replace those buttons? but if you cant add buttons how does it work then haha sorry if im being troublesome

[Tri-edge]

when you press down the analog stick it's the same thing as pressing the x button, when you press left on the analog stick it the same thing as pressing the circle, etc.

when you press down the analog stick it's the same thing as pressing the x button, when you press left on the analog stick it the same thing as pressing the circle, etc.

wouldnt that then just cause problems? sorry if im being dense but if down is x then wouldnt it replace those buttons

[Tri-edge]

the second analog ACTS as though it's the face buttons because it was DESIGNED that way so when people play first person shooters (FPS) they would have an analog like method instead of the alternative of pressing the face buttons to aim the gun. it doesn't act as a whole new analog stick with it's own properties. it just lets you have an analog like control of the face buttons which Still will act normally after the razor x is installed.

[z270]

right, so what im saying is since it acts like those buttons wouldnt it just replicated what they do? and thus useless on ps1 games?

[mootoo]

U right  in PSX games  it dont work  like second nob .

[z270]

ok so that answers my question, here is another XD. is it possible to wire the second nub to the d pad instead of the face buttons?

EDIT: nevermind found a thread with the info

If you want good PSX functionality, then you might want to check out the L2 & R2 mod https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=15108.0

[z270]

ya im gonna do both, since some games need r2 and l2 while not needing the right analog stick, and vice versa, i figure i cna map the d pad to different things depending on the game. soldering to the dpad however looks a little iffy

I don't think you have the knowledge to make a ps1 controller just yet try to start off with something smaller like leds.

[z270]

yeah i dont exactly have the knowledge since im new to psps...but im not new to modding ive modded most my other consoles so i just need to figure out how to do it. i could start off with leds just to get some practice
