To late, I'll do the rest with Kynar, I wasnt sure it would be small enough.

here's the vid click

Let me know when you've seen it so I can take it down. think it might be best to keep it under my hat untill its really finished.

Just wating on parts now. . .well, theres still the monster controller rewire to do.

Yeah, for sure. I got the sholder buttons too.

I spent ages wiring then rewiring this today, because I thought there was some kind of short that was making it reboot. Turned out I just wasnt pressing the on switch propperly :boxed:

Nicely done - What are you going to do in regards to the interfacing (ie. making it detachable) as Ive been meaning to do this with the PSP for a while just havent been able to think of a good socket.

At the moment its hardwired, but I'll be using multiple mini usb sockets. It could work with one small multipin socket like an idc, I've used one of those befor, the only problem is the pins pull out, I fixed it with glue but its not ideal.  I wont to be able to use mini analoge sticks (like joe's) aswell, hence the mini usbs.

Edit: Video is now down. If anyone still hasnt seen it and wants to gime shout.

I'd thought of that but the only place you could have them is at the top of the PSP (which looks cool) but you need 3 (which doesn't) :knockout:

Seeing as your PSP is open could you check and see if it is possible to fit 3 USB sockets behind the area of the screen that the single socket currently occupies?

Its not open now but I can tell you you could defanatly fit them on the right hand side above the batery cover clip thing. Theres loads of space there.

I have a pic somewhere if you need it.

Cant resist posting another pick. Heres the controller with the psp attatched. I used one of those bendy things for putting pdas on windscreens.

Nicely done - I would have used different execution though as holding the PSP via the controller like that is going to get tiring.

Full marks for looking cool though  :#1:

I was a bit concerned about that but the controller's really light, time will tell though. I also plan on using it as a stand, then plugging in my moded snes controller.

I have a pic somewhere if you need it.

Forgot to ask - You got any pics of that handy? What would be great is pics or a reference guide to what free space there actually is inside a PSP.

Also, for those of you that open and close yours on the regular how is the dust behind the screen? I only opened mine once to mod the Dpad and it was a :censored: and a half ensuring it was dust free when closed.
