Dual nubs: PSP modding in time-lapse video

F00 f00 of Acidmods sent us a tip about a new video he put up on the internet for modders everywhere to enjoy. As he tells us, this is one guys PSP modded to the hilt over five days, with the entire process compressed into under two minutes of video.

Obviously, it's not going to be a very insightful video as to the details of modding, but it's entertaining as heck. Best of all, he also shows off the dual nubs he's put into the PSP, which is a stylish alternative to installing giant analog joysticks on the sides. The video's a piece of work, and so is the PSP he's modded (Lucky Vinze!). We suppose you can bask in the awesomeness, if only for a little while. Enjoy!

» leds

I can't play with all those lights, that's why I love the PSP spny put the leds exactly where your hands will be when you play, so you can't see them, leds bother me, but still this is a very cool mod ^^ , for show NIIIICE, for playing naaaaa.

by MickeyMouse - 2007-02-16 22:11
» Not so cool

Its cool to mod, but putting shinning lights on a transparent PSP is kinda...gay...

Put a pink light then...it will be 100% gay and not 60%.

that guy is a real pro man, i woud love that flashlight and second joystick..

Im wondering how they get it to work

even though ugly faceplate

by !st - 2007-02-17 04:58
» Maybe.

[color=red]The 2 nubs are cool, he needs to make the second one the same as the original. The lights are to bright and are a waste of time and battery. The clear case is raunchy also. [/color]



Good work on the mod though.

by Cyberblade - 2007-02-17 05:49
» Full cases?

I just want to know where the heck they got a full PSP replacement case. Everywhere I look it's just replacement faceplates, nothing about the backplate and UMD door.

Yeah... owned.

Does that anolog stick function as an actual stick alone? Or does it replace or mimic the 4 buttons?

by I want one - 2007-02-17 08:35
» Hey I have a couple questions

What does just the second analog stick setup cost? Also, how much did you have to solder to hook up a second analog stick?

by fersheezy - 2007-02-17 14:14
» I want that PSP.

I want that.



lol so is the second nub integrated into the same function as pressing traingle, x, circle or square?

by Anti-Steve - 2007-02-17 14:17
» why?

dude I think it was better that he used a clear case because otherwise you couldn't really see the second nub in action... why does it even matter what the case looked like or what anything at all looked like? that functionality is awesome!

by Tydeus - 2007-02-17 18:02
» :P

So that means you have to have the LED on while playing online? Thats gotta suck I like it though, how much would something like this go for?

by haha - 2007-02-17 18:38

by BL - 2007-02-17 19:07
» yeh

by rickybobby - 2007-02-17 23:46
» where the clear housing!!!

Damn it, where do they sell the clear back housing for the psp? I can find faceplates, and a umd door... But where is the complete kit available.

The dual joystick mod is great, btw.

by Diablo2224 - 2007-02-18 04:06
» Funny... for sure

Well isnt that something? lol. Take that Sony! If they could do that why not figure a way to install that 8gb of flash memory we all wish we had on the psp. Now, wouldnt that be something.

by Vinze - 2007-02-18 07:59
» ITS MINE !!!
