First PSP mod....that I know of...

Post by **Gamelver** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 3:44 pm

....was done by me

!!!!!!!!! Why? because my damn analog stick fell off and got lost, so I needed to replace it!!!! with what, you may ask?......the top of a c-stick from a GC controller, of course

!!!!!!!!!
so here it is, the first (and if not THE first, MY first

) psp mod:

it's a bit bigger than the normal analog nub but it feels good

...

also, it sticks out bit more but once again, it feels pretty good

.....

here's a shot of the whole thing

hope you guys like it

It came off and you didn't take/send it back instead?

Yeah Gamelver! You should've flown back to Japan and returned it

Post by **Gamelver** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 3:59 pm

I know, I know

......but seriously, first of all I didn't want to have to call the Japanese PSP customer service or whatever, try to see if I could return it to get it fixed, and then have to wait a good while before getting my psp back......and second of all: now my psp's unique

!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah and I e-mailed sony about it, and they said they couldn't send me a replacement analog stick

....they would need to fix it, 'cause it's SO hard to pop in a new analog stick

The stick from a PS/PS2 controller is way too big. The PSP in very tiny, and so is the stick on the PSP.

which is why I only used the top part of the c-stick

Does it move like a normal Analog stick, or is it like the PSP on, touch sensitive? The C stick on the Gamecube is very comfortable and sweat-resistant.

well, it is still the normal PSP sliding stick, if that's what you're asking.....I didn't change the analog stick at all except for the top part, which came off and got lost.....

It seems odd mixing Nintendo with Sony that way, but its probibly the closest you'll get to what the Playstation might have been.

yeah, it's a bit ironic

well, if I do paint it, I sure as hell won't use spray paint!!!! the part's way too small and I wouldn't want paint to get everywhere else (I know I could put tape down but why bother with all that when you can just use a brush?).......I may be getting a skin for my PSP, so I'll wait until I choose the skin before I paint it

Its cool and all but mixing nintendo and sony is a weird thing to do since nintendo is very bright and colorful and sony is kind of a cool jet black

there apperintley there is a high defect rate with the psp's simmaler to when the ps2 first got relised its not to surprising that happened
