Hey,
this is again about connecting a PS2 controller to the PSP. But something is different this time! YOU NEITHER HAVE TO MODIFY THE PSP NOR THE CONTROLLER. Just hook the (not yet developed) little black box to your PSP, plug in the PS2 controller, enable the plugin and start having fun. In a final version it's supposed to work like that:

. _____________[PS2 Controller]
____ ______|______ ___________
[PSP]------[little black box]-------[AV Out (TV)]

It's still a WiP, the little black box still has no TV out and it's still a huge breadboard. The plugin also works very...eeer...baaad. Watch the videos:

PSP With PS2 Controller - XMB

PSP With PS2 Controller - Game

At the moment I'm wondering whether this cable has the pins for TV out AND for the remote (I need both).

that cable has what your asking for

it is against acidmods rules to draw members from our site to yours. you only have one post here, and you are not asking questions, just promoting your mod and website. I will let it stay for now, but if its reported, I will have to take it down.

also FTW this was done by FOOFOO long ago.

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #2 on:** February 09, 2010, 09:24:40 AM »

the thing is F00F00s mod includes modding the PSP AND the controller
that's what I'm trying to avoid
whatever, if u say linking my dev-blog (that isn't exactly anything that could make a user leave acidmods but provides some more information regarding the mod) is against the rules I'll of course remove the link

well, do I have to have a question? has, for example (to take someone everyone knows) Dark_AleX, to ask a question before he can provide a new CFW?
I always thought this board is about mods, and lives from the developing of new mods and hacks, not from people asking what resistor to use for a special LED...
but if you're not interested in some development it's okay, you as an administrator have to know what you want in your forum and what you don't want, I'm just a simple user with one post that isn't even a question...how stupid of me to think someone could be interested....
TD

EDIT: btw, I asked a question (without a questionmark though), that u even answered...thanks, I'll try to get that cable

please by all means use acidmods as a work log, feel free to post any development articals you want. as long as its not an open forum post it up.

as for the cable, I was not usure if you were asking or stating.

if you have anyother questions, let me know.

is the controller that you use is the controller for the pc?

what connector did you use for it?

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #5 on:** February 11, 2010, 08:00:03 AM »

it's a normal Playstation2 controller
I still use the original Playstation connector, I bought an extention cable that I cut in two pieces and I'm using this as a jack
I can just use any PS2 controller I want without having to change it's hardware - it's plug and play :]

atomicareprise · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:34:33 PM »

can you show a pic of the connector that ur using..

i'm interested with this mod...

so you dont have to modify the controller anymore?

what about the cfw?

tut would be much appreciated

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #7 on:** February 11, 2010, 10:33:42 PM »

atm it's just a big electronic mess, but that's my connector: http://imgbox.de/users/public/images/q39787t198.jpg
I can push everything I need onto a 4x4cm (1.5"x1.5") pcb though

I don't have to modify the controller anymore.

you do need a CFW and a special plugin I'am working on atm though

I'm gonna post every information needed to build something like that as soon as it's no WiP anymore but a finished project
just to tell you, there's a µc on the board, so it's basically a little processor that has to be programmed using a programmer device, atm I'm using an ATmega8 programmed with ISP, actually any ATmega should work without having to (significantly) change the code

atomicareprise · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2010, 01:36:59 AM »

"so it's basically a little processor that has to be programmed using

a programmer device" hmmmm sounds complicated for a guy like

me who don't know anything about programming lol

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #9 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:00:37 AM »

you don't have to write the program code on your own
that's what I am doing

what I mean by saying programming here is...eeer...like flashing the executable code into the µc (microcontroller)
it's not hard at all, the problem is just that u have to have the hardware that is at least a programmer device, a demo board (or a breadboard/other kind of board and a connector to the ISP pins), and the µc itself
the cheapest USB ISP (In System Programming) devices are about 30€ what is ~40$
of course u can use that thing as often as u want to, but I guess no one would spend the money to use it only once
TD

EDIT: plugin is fully working now
I guess I have to do some hardware stuff again ^^

atomicareprise · « **Reply #10 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:09:38 PM »

cant wait for this to be finished

PSP With PS2 Controller - Plugin Finished
need to get some more hardware (3.3V voltage regulators, µcs, cable, cristals, low current LEDs, a little box), then I'm able to make a prototype

atomicareprise · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2010, 08:36:57 PM »

and you need to get a good connector too..lol..

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2010, 02:18:56 AM »

I have already got a PS2 controller connector, I already ordered a PSP TV Out connector :]
I hope for those things to arrive tomorrow or wednesday
but anyway, I got my phone back today (Acer Liquid)
:]

any pics of ur connector..

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:48:52 AM »

by connector I actually mean jack ^^
see, I bought some of these cables http://cgi.ebay.de/2-x-PS2-CONTROLLER-VERLANGERUNGSKABEL-VERLANGERUNG-NEU_W0QQitemZ190372866139QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPC_Viedeospielzubeh%C3%B6r?hash=item2c531b685b
those are extention cables for PS2 controller and have, of course, a jack and a plug
cut them in two pieces and you have a nice PS2 controller jack u can work with

I also ordered this http://cgi.ebay.de/PSP-3000-EXTENSION-VERLANGERUNG-KABEL-CABLE-FUR-KONSOLE_W0QQitemZ330390188952QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPC_Viedeospielzubeh%C3%B6r?hash=item4cecca3398
it's an extention cable for the PSP's TV out thing
I will have to cut that in two pieces as well, and then I can connect everything to my µc :]

finally, I ordered that box: http://www.reichelt.de/?;ACTION=3;LA=2;GROUP=C714;GROUPID=3355;ARTICLE=73220;START=0;SORT=artnr;OFFSET=16;SID=28yui7EKwQARwAAGCk8j0643a2ef912cdf8257a5e3a6eebccc80c
I'll fit everything in there, to have a professional look

the only thing that could go wrong now is that the PSP tv out cable thing doesn't have all the pins I need
oh, and I don't rly know how to cut the gaps into the box to fit the jacks in, but I'll solve this I guess

however, the things I ordered should arrive today or tomorrow :]
TD

It's friday and one cable is still missing...I hate this...

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #17 on:** February 20, 2010, 05:32:52 AM »

WORKS!!!!
I can play PSP on my tv using a PS2 controller...I guess this makes my PSP with the 333MHz CPU (same clock as PS2 huh?) a real game console...

more soon

Wowsers. great work man.
I am going to do a couple more of these mods myself.

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2010, 10:28:02 AM »

omg it's F00 f00!!!
thanks :]
do u only do hardware mods or are you working with unmodified controllers/PSPs as well? :]
TD

atomicareprise · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2010, 04:38:03 PM »

is this done already?

So far have only really thought abhout doing it hardwired. But if your getting unmodded controllers work thats a much less labour intensive solusion. Also the pspgo is compatible with a dualshock 3. An expensive route, but super tidy.
The hardware solution has the benafit of using sevral controllers relatively easaly though, so I may stick wioth that so I can use nes/snes/atari controllers too. Would be a nicer package.
Keep us updated on any progress, itd rule to see this working nicely.

not until I've fixed the last bug in the software

it already DOES work nicely
I can connect the box to my psp, the controller to my box and the box to the TV and then both TV out and PS2 controller works
there is only one little bug left in my PSP software, if the main thread is being resumed after the psp is turned on (when it was in suspend before) it freezes

I just switched to linux on my desktop, will go on coding after I installed the programms i need on my PC

superspudz2000 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 30, 2011, 06:35:39 PM »

to everybody else:
yes, im bumping and old thread, i dont care.

to original poster:

this sounds awesome, why dont you sell a "Kit" in acidmods shop?
the Kit could include 1 pre-programmed ATmega chip, some resistors, some wires, etc.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #29 on:** July 02, 2011, 05:01:41 AM »

your enthusiasum is appreciated, you attitude is not. there was no need for the first part of your post.
