My First PSP: Where it is now

[psppunk]

STORY... IF YOU DONT CARE, SKIP IT... but ur a meanie =P (gf's words, not mine)
Heh, so do any of you remember the 7 color trigger led mod i did? well that was my first PSP, i did loads of mods to it and it was such a great companion ^-^

Later on i bought another phat for 30 bucks cause it had a broken screen, i fixed it with a spare i had, well, now that one is my main machine =], not that it was better or anything

sometime during hurricane IKE's touchdown in Galveston, TX, while my power was out (it was out for 2 weeks btw...) i was playing Flatout and all the sudden my 7 color led chip died, they just kinda freaked out then never came back on (oh well, worse things were going on for me to care)

for about 6 months i didnt touch either PSP, kinda upset about the chips demise

a week ago, my neighbor brought me a PSP to fix (also a phat) and all the sudden im in my modding mood again
i tried to see what was up with the chip, but eventually just removed it (not like i carry it around anymore for me to show off anyway)

i decided i wouldnt put it back together (plz dont cry, i know its sad, lol)

INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!......
HERES THE INTERESTING PART, SO IF YOU DECIDED TO SKIP THE STORY, START HERE

Old Graphire 3 Wacom Tablet - 100$

First PSP Phat - 120$

PspDisp - Free

Autoboot Configurator - Free

Cheap USB tablet screen!!! - 220$

VS

Cintiq Wacom Screen - 1000$


Sounds like savings to me! =]]


this works because ive taken the metal backing off of the screen which allows the magnetic 'conversation' between the pad and the pen, to continue as it would normally, unobstructed
the screen was a bit thicker than the plastic, so i dropped the wacom circuit board down into the bottom a little more, which also made more space for the mother board

TODO: get rid of powerboard, use usb hub so only one usb cord is required, finish chassis


HERES UR FIRST PIX!




Its honestly up to you if this is a PSP mod, or an abomination =P

Sounds like a tablet using the PSP screen.

You might want to actually explain it.

But it seems a neat idea.

DarkShot: yup thats what it is pretty much, i did say that, but only once, i was in a rush cause i had to get to work

Everyone else: If you're gonna keep spamming with your retarded pics, dont bother posting, you arent welcome here, simple... it was funny the first time

Sounds like pretty cool concept Need case though :\

Sounds like pretty cool concept Need case though :\

heh, yes it does, but im not quite sure how im gonna be able to make the case
you see, since its a tablet i need it to be comfortable, which means i need it to be kinda rounded and unless i find some prefab plastic that just happens to be in that shape, idk what to do about it, im pretty good with coming up with prefab though ^^ so i should have it soon

at the moment the psp's processor interferes with the wacom's magnetic communication board... when the psp is on, and the program hasnt started, te mouse shakes, after the program starts the mouse goes down by itself, ill have to come up with some more paper-thin steel (or iron, whatever wacom uses) to insulate the two boards

upon closer inspection, the 'jitter' as its known, is caused by the LCD screen, ill have to either find a different pen to use (one that operates on a different frequency), or try to fix the problem with magnetic insulation (again)

Sorry bout the lima bean.
Hahahaha, but I dont get the mod...
:\

[psppunk]

Try making a Casing made out of wood planks .

[psppunk]

lol, that was actually a consideration, since im a very good woodworker =] not a serious consideration tho

for anyone that cant read, use common sense, or doesnt know what Wacom or Cintiq is...
Watch this, the PSP in action


Note that this was before i fixed the cursor drop problem, it doesnt happen anymore
