all through my whole life i've been trained to NOT heave the controller of a console in order to make mario, lara, croc run/jump faster/higher because it 'looks stupid' and doesn't do anything. then they start making these things that put me back in to desperate stupid 5 year old mode. I dunno. It's not for me, but its still cool.

If Sony released one they'd charge $50 and so it would be lame, but $20 is nothing and could actually make a few of the crappy old Psp games a bit more fun.

-2 # woot — Guest 2010-03-22 22:02

omg i toataly want this it would be great for loco roco 1

want want want

-2 # fail — Guest 2010-03-22 22:05

How dumb of them to use the headphone and TV out jack for the thing! Now you have to play it on your PSP screen with the speakers. Not only is that distracting when you're trying to actually play the game and look at the screen, but the PSP speakers are terrible. :(

Cool idea, but it's full of fail just for using the headphone jack.

# RE: fail — Guest 2010-03-23 02:20

Its the only way you can connect it! what do you expect?

# RE: fail — xnamkcor 2010-03-23 13:51

The headphone jack is Out. Chances are it has a passthrough. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't use the headphone jack to input data.

I do think they should have used the USB port though...

-1 # wow — tainogunslinger 2010-03-22 22:10

Sony really dropped the ball on that, I'm ordering this for me son & I.

# Fail — Guest 2010-03-22 23:21

I 100% agree with asdwdwads, if it uses the headphone jack then its a fail with me, i mean that's what i use with psp 100% of the time. Why not the usb slot instead.

Fail for sure, nice concept though. So would miss my sennheiser headphones.

Unless you can reprogram the headphone jack as a microphone jack(i've seen some soundcards do it), there is no way the headphone jack is actually being used.

PS: Looked at Datel's site. Looks like it's just a nub that goes in the Headphone jack. So, even if it isn't being used, it can't be passthru'd.
Datel, you fail.

# RE: RE: Fail — Guest 2010-03-23 17:38

or just buy the double headphone thing..

but then again it would be danglin

-1 # awesome...but — senz 2010-03-22 23:25

Sony would steal this idea and implement it into its PSP2..

# sneaky — mocherz 2010-03-22 23:39

funny how they decide to use a white psp against a black background in an attempt to draw less attention to how far that ugly thing sticks out.

# RE: sneaky — But Fukir 2010-03-23 17:22

It is ugly.

+1 # LOL... — Guest 2010-03-22 23:47

psp1000,2000.3000.

no love for GO....

I just felt it was funny....

The GO just so FAIL...

-1 # look like ipod — Guest 2010-03-22 23:57

thats nice now its gonna look like a ipod touch

+1 # RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-23 00:13

LOL only for PSP 1k,2k and 3k... Again PSP-Go fails XDD.

-1 # Cool but — Guest 2010-03-23 00:14

How about someone make a True HD add-on cam for the PSP and I will be sold.

-2 # RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Cellsplitter 2010-03-23 00:36

How the hell am I supposed to play a driving game if I turn the PSP around and can't tell left from right and crash into a wall?

+4 # !? — deadkyo 2010-03-23 01:13

wasn't something like this made a couple years ago (2007) by some group called NEO? They even sold motion kits for making homebrew games with it.

+2 # lol — Guest 2010-03-23 01:24

thats true... it goes into the Headphone jack and it was pretty cheap. I don't know if the still selling it... but i remember some games supported it like Geometry wars retro evolved (homebrew).

+1 # Yeah — SCLakitu 2010-03-23 03:51

I remember that too. No one used it other than a few plugins and homebrew games.

+2 # definitely — Guest 2010-03-23 05:45

Datel stealing the work of the scene once again, and giving nothing back (where's our homebrew loader, goddammit). Raphael is the one who wrote the drivers for that 2 years ago...

+1 # ... — Silver-Tiger 2010-03-23 05:02

This is YEARS old. Some homebrew hacksers did this 3 years years ago. As usual, Datel steals everything and marlets as his own.

+1 # Thieves! — Guest 2010-03-23 06:28

Omg you are right! check this out:
http://www.neoflash.com/go/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=189&Itemid=37

the main article is from 2007! Says it doesnt support the slim model though so i guess datel have done us ppl with slims a favour, plus they made it work with current games which is more than what the NEO group did

# no thanks! — delta191 2010-03-23 07:55

Sorry its a stupid idea!

How the hell do you play Killzone Liberation or Syphon Filter Logans Shadow?

Why would you want to resort to an inferior tilt sensor, over a analogue joypad for a driving game? I find the idea ridiculous.

The PSP needs a second analoue controller FFS! its well overdue already.

Get an iphone or itouch if you want to fanny around with tilt sensor driving games.

# RE: no thanks! — But Fukir 2010-03-23 17:19

I disagree with your post, but it made me think of an interesing idea.

What if it could be used to solve the lack of second nub problem in FPS's.

+1 # PS2 emulations a better idea — delta191 2010-03-24 06:46

I'm looking for the PSP2 with duel analogue with the ability to run PS2 games, then you have access to one of the best games libaries ever created.

I still think tilt controls are a gimmick rather than an advancement to driving games.

-1 # ... — Souljaboy56 2010-03-23 23:20

delta191 , QJ doesnt allow more that 2500 characters, so you are lucky i cant go on tue long rant i was going to do ...

But i Will sag, i Totally Disagree with your comment. so here a little tiny replies to your comment.

not all, iPhone, too fuckiing bad, SIXAXIS control in most current racing games

+1 # lawl — ThirstyCow 2010-03-23 08:22

When datel finished cracking encryption, they have open doors to start a franchise on their products to be fully compatible with all PSPs =]

-1 # ? — Guest 2010-03-23 10:05

Is this available in europe (in france) ?

+1 # Hmm... — Guest 2010-03-23 10:43

Ace Combat games with this would be pretty slick...

# Cool — Guest 2010-03-23 11:11

That would be cool if this would work for Yoshi's Topsy Turvey

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-23 12:35

Personally, I don't give a F about motion control, especially on a handheld. I want to be able to hold my controller or handheld comfortably without having to worry about Fing up my gameplay.

Nintendo brings back a failed 9 year old control technology, big whoop, I'm a bit angry that everyone is copying them now.

Yeah, it's failing real bad.
Failing is when you make a massive profit, right?

# ... — Souljaboy56 2010-03-23 23:23

ThreeB ,Nintendo made a shitton of money off of a low quality console compard to current ones. Sony can make a shitton of money with the move and MS with the Natal.

So the Only thing that has failed here so far is you...

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — But Fukir 2010-03-23 17:16

Thats pretty neat. Would be pretty awesome on Wipeout or Locoroco.

But its an ugly little wart isn't it. I wish they would have made it more form fitting.
Maybe flatter and wrapped around towards the rear panel like a "J".

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-23 21:46

this will fail. The idea isn't bad but they should have done this like 3 years ago. Now Nintendo announced a new handheld and I bet Sony will announce the "PSP 2" in the near future...

# Yes — Zhipp 2010-03-24 14:00

But it's totally backwards compatible. It works with all old games(or most).

# nice — Guest 2010-03-23 22:03

but the real question is how many games will actually use it? this might just be used for quick games like minis. or as you see above monkey ball.

this would be sweet if mod nation racers used it though.

i mean this could just be another thing like the wario ware movement pack was on gba.

anyway i think this is pretty cool

# nice — Guest 2010-03-23 22:08

lol ok I didnt watch the video the first time, so what I said was wrong. this is pretty sweet! looks like it works with all games. Im actually considering getting one of those now, 19.99 is a pretty fair price

thats pretty weird that this doesnt work with psp GO though

# Phlip Mode! — Miclowgunman 2010-03-23 22:49

i actually have the old neoflash one. I got it because I designed a game that uses it where you throw your psp in the air to do "Stunts" to earn points. I didnt have enough programming experience to execute it then, maybe now that this has come out i might give it a second shot...lol

# cfw?! — Zhipp 2010-03-24 01:26

Does it work with cfw? Or will I have to upgrade each time I want to use my games with it?
If it supports cfw, I'm getting it next time i go out.

# where to buy? — Guest 2010-03-24 06:09

This thing is a sweet addition to a psp. Iwant to buy one of these but I live in Pakistan. How do I get to buy one? Codejunkies do not allow shipping worldwide.. Any idea guyz?

# Hmm — Zhipp 2010-03-24 13:59

You could have someone in the States(or anywhere else it's sold) buy it, and ship it to you. You might have to pay a bit more, but that's an option.

# Tiiiiziiight — Guest 2010-03-24 07:19

Thats Fat...

Kudos Datel....

You Guys Are The Best!!!!

Now release a Pandora Battery for The Go and we will be all set...

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-24 11:28

REMEMBER: Neo Motion.
U can search "Neo Motion"

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-24 22:25

wow someone whould look at the hardware if this can be run on OFW it may include a exploit or way to send the psp code for games, that is unless you need to load a disc first, but it can tell what game your playing and adjust its controls. rad.

# RE: Datel brings motion sensing to PSP via TiltFX — Guest 2010-03-25 00:49

the reason why i stopped playing grand turismo on psp was because it didn't real like a real racer with the basic analog controls. now this will make it a whole lot better and i may end up deleting my ipod racing games.

# Not for Custom firmware — Guest 2010-04-14 10:10

TiltFX DOES NOT WORK on CUSTOM FIRMWARE.

# TiltFx is a SHIT — DaGr81 2010-07-27 06:39

It bought TiltFx recently but its not working in my PSP 2000 with CFW 5.50 GEN D3 or in any PSP with CFWs
Its a total shit..
Datel was one who made pandora battery..and this was for downgrading the OFW to CFW..
now they said that this TiltFx works only with OFW...isnt this a shit..??
any idea guys?? to break this...we need some kinda plugins for TiltFX to run in our CFW PSP....coz PSP with CFWs are more then OFWs...

Someone should think about this...plz ppl
