Step By Step Tutorial-

Using a ps2 analog stick you can now have a 2nd joystick on the psp. there is a few things you must do prior to performing this mod.. You will have to mod the potentiometer...


In the picture you will have to solder a wire to each of the point and then connect them to the corresponding points on the potentiometer shown in picture 1...


You will have to remove the green Potentiometer from the analog housing this can be done by simply prying the green potentiometer off you will notice a white disk in the center this will need to be removed as well. Now you can see the contact circle.. If you notice the the image that say's "Modded Potentiometer" you will understand what needs to be done.. I will post some pictures of the actual modded potentiometer later..


Here is the PS2 Joystick put together disregard the wires a few came lose during the the disassemble for pictures..


Here is what the Potentiometers look like when removed..


Here are are the Potentiometers Disassembled and modded you can see where I grinded the trace away to make the the Potentiometer into momentary switches.. The amount removed here in this pic is hyper sensitive you may want to make the gap a little wider for a more relaxed feel..


Please note Acid Mods was the first to develop this mod. If you see anyone claiming to have created this mod please set them strait. If you repost this mod anywhere else be sure an give proper credit to AcidMods. By developing new and exciting mods is how we get new members and if other site steal our work then they are just stealing our members. So in the long run we want our community to grow and we can only achieve this by developing new stuff and spreading the word..
