PSP speaker mod: get more bang out of your speakers' buck |
Ó
The good thing about this mod is that it doesn't require a high degree of technical manipulation and only needs a minimal amount of welding. You'll also need to find a loudspeaker that should be able to fit quite snugly in place of the UMD drive (around 0.6 cm thick and 6 cm in diameter). For this mod, PspHackersTeam used a POC (Proof of Concept) 110 watts PSP speaker.
The only tricky part of the operation would be neatly removing your UMD drive and replace it with the actual speaker. Aside from that, you should be able to get the most bang out of your buck in terms of sound quality once the mod is done.
You can view a video of the actual operation below. For additional instructions on how to install this mod, you can check out the original source link that we've provided. You'll need to run the site through your favorite online translator though, since it's in French.

This is going to be pure *****, I can guarantee you that.
I would do this, but I store my memory sticks in the UMD drive inside an empty UMD case with a foam cutout in it for the memory sticks.
a DAMN good idea.
I've always got 2 of 'em floatin' 'round + never thought to keep 'em there since all I really play is my SNES "emu-stick".
Don't really see why this is being jumped... I mean this mod has been out for a long time now... Don't get me wrong, they did a good job, but this is old news.
I in process of making one just too damn lazy to finish it.
This mod ranks up there with adding LEDs for old....
Is the process the same for the Slim?
darn old news

but the psp kept trying to read the disc even though it wasnt there so i thought the battery would die faster if i kept trying to read a disc
FYI, welding and soldering are not the same thing. When you solder two things together, the only thing being melted is the solder material itself (and maybe your fingers, clothes, or whatever you set the hot iron on when you're done). You can normally reheat the solder and remove it to restore the original materials/parts back to the way they were before the solder joint was made. Lastly, the solder material normally is a very dissimilar type of metal than the materials of the objects you're joining.
When you weld, you melt the weld material (whether it's a rod or wire) AND the parent material of the two objects you're joining. The weld material used is similar in composition to the parent material in that it has similar melting points and other material properties. There's no way to remove the weld material once the process is completed because it has mixed with the melted material from the original parts and, as you may have figured out by now, the original parts have been modified as a result of the weld process. The only way to separate the parts is to cut or break them apart. This is why welds are so strong.
Again, welding and soldering are NOT the same thing.
Don't know 'bout a PHAT, but on my slim, I put a hole in the UMD case where the little tab gets pressed up when a disc is in and closed.
