Before I begin I would just like to say that F00 f00's external controller (Doc Oc) mod has single handedly made me buy a PSP. So, I give my thanks for the awsome modding going on by F00 f00 and others around here. It is really inspiring...to say the least.
In any case, I have a few questions about the external controller mod. I read the work log, all relevant comments by F00 f00, watched the video and even looked through the unclassified topics that detailed the work on the mod further, but I still ahve some questions that I couldn't find answers to. And though I know a tutorial is on the way, I beseech thee to to please answer these few questions since I believe, that along with aforementioned resources, and these questions will make a full tutorial to tide people over until a tutorial can be put up in the AcidMods Wiki.
However, if you are sick and tired of talking or even thinking about such a complicated mod (since I see it really was quite frustrating, and I too have gotten to the point where I was about to throw my expensive electronics out the window
) please feel free to ignore this post as you see fit.
Questions:
1. What tool was used to cut the holes for the mini-usb ports on the side of the PSP? I would think that a dremel would do it well, but I also thought about using an exacto-knife depending on how thick/felxible the PSP plastic is.
2. How did you seal/hold the min-USB plugs in place? I would guess that super-glue would work in the right amount.
3. Is there a guide/tutorial that details how to connect the PS2-type analog stick to the PSP's analog stick? I searched the Wiki, but couldn't find anything that showed me this. But I could have missed it.
4. Is there a guide to connecting the PS2 controller D-pad to the PSP's D-pad? I assume it would be a point to point, but I couldn't find a guide on where the connection would optimally be for the PSP's D-pad. I have an idea, but I wanted to confirm it.
5. Where should the solder point be for a trigger-to-trigger mod on the PSP's triggers? I found the "PSP Trigger Mod Kit" tutorial on the Wiki, but since I have little expierience with the triggers I was wondering what spot was soldered to on the board. If pics are a little too cumbersome then a detailed description would be ok. I just haven't been able to find any decent pictures of those trigger contacts so I can't be sure about the setup in there.
If F00 f00 or any other experienced modder can help me on any of these questions I, and others like me, would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
