Bluetooth PSP/PS2/PS3 Headset mod

Here's an interesting project we picked up from N3M3515. The modder set up a how-to guide to enable the PSP to run voice chat wirelessly on games such as the SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo franchise. The same mod also enabled N3M3515 to run wireless voice chat on the PlayStation 2 - the game that was tested in the attempt is SOCOM: Combined Assault.

Interestingly, the mod also allows users to use the Bluetooth headset while running the same PS2 game on a PS3 (with backwards compatibility). N3M3515 explains that this is not normally possible as PS2 titles are not coded to use the PS3's Bluetooth functionality.

Now, if you fancy trying to make this mod for yourself, you'll need these components (click on the image to the right for a better view)Bluetooth PSP Headset Mod - Image 1:
  • PSP Remote
  • PSP Headset plug (4 Conductor)
  • Cardo BTA II Bluetooth Adapter
  • 2.5 mm Stero (3 conductor) Plug for PSP USB Box
  • USB Box from a PS3 headset
  • Bluetooth Headset
Those who think they're up to following N3M3515's mod attempt can find the full instructions via the source link.

yeah they messed that one up i think.

But ive been using this setup since the ps3 came out ( with a different BT adapter and a madcatz ps2 headset) I even posted on the playstation boards on how to do it along time ago. havent tried anything with the psp since its almost useless and much easier to use regular headset since you are only tethered to the psp which is usually in your hands.

this is a great mod, thinking how someone would think to do these kind of things fascinates me!!! but...look at all the ***** you need to get it working, one lead attached to the mic on your ear or a gazzilion plugs and leads, there's less cable in the bt junction box at the end of my road, just to get a wireless headset working!!!! although i dont have the brains to tie my shoe laces, this feat of genius is hruting my guts when i laugh!!!!!!

use a bluetooth headset as headphones? if you could, that'd be awesome because I have long hair, so I could EASILY hide a bluetooth headset. I could easily hide wires, but it gets kind of annoying sometimes and you can't inconspicously reach down your back to grab a headphone.
