PSP mod: Push - activated face buttons

Posted May 1, 2007 at 5:04PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Mods, Videos Tags: Acidmods, F00 f00, jrfhoutx
Ó


We'll be introducing another PSP mod today, created by AcidMods resident jrfhoutx. The mod in question is a set of Push Activated Face Buttons which, as described, lights up the PSP's four primary face buttons by a set of internally mounted LEDs. Here's a video demonstrating how this mod works:



In case you missed it, the PSP appears to be clad in Camy Pro Gear's newer PSP faceplates. One problem jrfhoutx reports during the attempt involves the different MCD ratings the different LED colors had - the modder plans to resolve this in the near future. jrfhoutx further credits TR4G- for giving him the idea, and F00 f00 and CyberProt for helping him further along. Stick around in case we pick up more news on this mod (and hopefully a tutorial).

I personally wouldn't do this to my PSP, I value it way to much to do something like this. Risk the life of my PSP for a simple mod, nah, but cool idea none the less.



By the way, first poster is a h0m0.

» Jeez...

Well, I might be the first one to think that this is actually pretty cool. If I had the know-how, I'd mod my PSP like this too...



By the way, first and second posters are c'untweasels.

» well...

I dont know about any one else but to me this mod seems useless. Its my own opinion though.Its useless cuz when I press the buttons I cover them which makes them not visible.so you really wopuldnt be able to see the leds or watever

considering the fact that I'm not 12, I have a real job, I have more than one PSP, and I can afford to buy another one if I f@ck one of them up, they aren't an overly valuable commodity to me, besides I have enough soldering skill to not f@ck up my PSPs...

Why does every mod have to be useful? half the stuff you people swoon over that comes from F00f00's desk isn't useful either (no offense f00), and anything he makes that is "useful" is beyond the capability of most of you anyway...



Just cause I chose to put the LEDs in the buttons doesn't mean they have to go there, you could put them anywhere... Might look kinda cool with a game like DDR or something similar... or if you had the dual analog mod done to your PSP, then they would light up when you used the 2nd analog stick and your fingers wouldn't be covering the buttons...



To those of you who liked it, and said nice job or something similar... Thanks! Glad you like it!

Who am I?

by akuma2099 - 2007-05-01 15:43
» ok if you like that sorta thing

It's nice and all don't get me wrong but I wouldn't do it to mine. And it isn't because I don't have the skills because it seems fairly easy to do. And I am not worried about messing up my psp because I could easily afford a new one. I have already added the external left analog replacement and am considering adding the right one to my psp. But I haven't ever been a big fan of leds even on the regular consoles much less a portable one. They just make the thing look tacky but that seems to be the first thing that people want to add the their systems because it is the easiest thing to do. All it involves is connecting power to a light congratulations you did the modding equivalent of screwing in a light bulb yea your so leet.

THe Trigger mod was nice...but i think this is kinda pointless... cause since is your fingers transparent? when u push the button your finger will cover it.

» cool!!!

Damn, the mod looks sweet.. I guess all the mods lights he's using on his psp is maybe 0.2w it won't kill the psp batt life and maybe he will add a switch so you don't have to use it so when u want to use it. you can turn on the switch.



stupid for me for talking but o well



ps: all of you are right about people saying i got first, second lolz.. I guess we are dealing with are kindergartens and first graders.

not vaseline, Rosin Soldering Flux... learn how to solder and you might know that...

I know this mod may look pointless now, but remember, this was a request by one of our members, and simply a proof of concept and a small bit in what is planned for that PSP. I know many of you think the LEDs in consoles are tacky or lame or whatever, and that this mod is rubbish or pointless, but I do this as a hobby, and usually cause I get bored, and none of it usually stays for very long...



besides I get a lot of this stuff for free... faceplates, buttons, etc. to promote different companies, which si why I'm glad Tim Y. noticed the prototype Camy Faceplate that I used for this mod.
