Hi guys,
First I wanna say great site! There are so many awe inspiring mods here, it's really a great source of inspiration.
I am currently working on my first mod, it is Ben Heck's external analog joystick mod (just the joystick).
I have alot of PSP games, but I mostly play my 20 or so PS1 games. Using pops loader, I play in configuration 4 where the D-pad is the Analog Joystick, or I just use the analog joystick.
Of all the games I have played over the past 2 years, I have never used the D-pad before. Although, in some games the D-pad may control the camera.
I'm thinking about completely removing/gutting the D-pad, and putting my Ben Heck's Analog Stick in there, under the faceplate. The joystick is just a clone of the original analog stick.
Can anyone see any major problems with this? I feel like the D-pad is taking up the perfect spot for a larger sized analog stick.
Will I suffer significantly by not have a D-pad?
