PSP SNES Controller Mod Rocks!

Now this VERY cool. You may have heard of this really awesome psp community member of ours AKA modder known as F00 f00. You see, just this week, he’s done this incredible mod. Probably one of the best. And there’s a good reason why.

As you probably know, most people outside of our community think us psp gamers are just a bunch of time wasters or something. No gooders I was once called by my neighbor. (I guess I should have given him the Greg Focker “Karatee Chop” to the mouth! But lucky for him, my little sis and her “Cabbage Patch” playing friends held me back.)

Anyway, this psp mod created by F00 f00 is for a girl who has a limited use in one hand. You see, the psp controller is a litle difficult for her to use. So a friend asked F00 f00 for some help. So he does some kind of “voodoo” on the psp and adds a SNES controller.

… Awesome I know!

Anyway, if you’re thinking of doing the same thing to your psp, then here’s what he says;

This mod was achieved by adding a small socket to the back of the psp ( the socket was sent to me by a friend some time ago so I dont have a part number. I believe it was intended for a cell phone). I taped all of the relevant points on the psp mother board (some of which where horribly close together and tiny. Actually not some ALL of them where), and then ran these to the socket.

I used a file and dremal to cut a whole in the back of the psp and the socket fitted in with a satisfying *click*. I then put together a custom cable and plug that would fit the newly attached socket. This was then wired to the snes controllers pcb (attached directly to the traces of each button. And thats about it.

Anyway, watch this video of it in action.

Sales Are Up, Profits Are Down

Files under PSP | Leave a Comment


More PSPs are being sold, which should be great news for Sony. Unfortunately, their profits are shrinking. With the economy so difficult, individuals don’t want to pay as much for the things that they are buying, and they can’t afford to buy as much as they normally would. With that being the case they are looking for ways to get what they want for less.

The PSP, though, is a strong point for a company that has seen profits sliding away. Sony makes a lot of things, but most of them are things that people can do without and have to do without when times are tough. With that being the case it only makes sense that profits would dip lower when the economy is in trouble and when people don’t have as much disposable income to dispose of for games and and other things to play with.

However, the PSP is so popular that people are still buying them regardless of the economy and it’s one bright spot for Sony to hang onto until sales of other items start to recover as well.

PSP Media Manager Download Free

As you probably know, Sony have bee working on the PSP media for the psp. Anyway, if you want this psp download, then you can find it here.

Did I mention it’s free. (Poor dudes who paid for the earlier version! They should refund their money or something)

Anyway, what the Media Manager does is help you organize and sync your music, photos and other digital content to your PSP. I guess it’s trying to be Itunes or something. Now, you might also know that the new function to this is that it grants you access to the Playstation store through your PC.

Although, the dude at the Playstation blog does a better job of explaining it.

Have a look here. (Although don’t look at that “wig” too closely. It may damage your eyes!)

I guess the only thing they should do now is make a download version available for our Mac users. I’m wondering when they will do that.

Anyway, for more psp downloads and stuff, I know you’ll want to bookmark our site.

PSP 3000 Scanline Problems?

Ok. So you probably think this is some new shaky breaky game or something. And if you have a PSP 3000, you may think this is just normal. Well, it’s not really.

You see, there have been a number of psp gamers who are experiencing this. And I think the problem has got back to Sony.

So what are they doing about it? Well, as you know, Sony are a huge company with some really good people there. However, nothing has been said about what is going on. Could they be taking it off the market to fix this as some other sites are mentioning? Maybe. But if you have a PSP 3000 which has this issue, then you probably know now that it’s not what it should look like.

Therefore, if you have this issue, you may want to take it back to the place you purchased it from and get yourself a new one. You see, the psp is the best gaming system in the world. So we should expect the very best.

Check this video to see if you have a scanline issue.

Anyway, if you need more information on the psp 3000, and psp downloads and stuff, you’ll find it right here.

Seriously. I don’t know if we should name our pets after him, or send him cash or something. All I do know is that Dark Alex ROCKS! He absolutely rocks the PSP.

Top PSP Accessories


If you enjoy the PSP, there are all kinds of accessories that you can get for it. And if you’ve purchase the new PSP 3000, there are even more things that you can get for it than what is available for versions in the past.

One of these is a great carrying case. The original PSPs used to ship with a neoprene plastic case but they no longer do. The Logitech PlayGear Pocket Slim Case is recommended.

There’s no built-in storage with the PSP either, so you’ll need some outside storage. The Memory Stick Duo – either 2GB or 4GB – is a great choice for your PSP storage needs.

Another good accessory is the combination data/power cable. The unit comes with a power cable, but it doesn’t come with a cable that allows you to sync it with your PC. Getting one means you’ll have even more fun.

You can also get headphones so you can play your PSP games at a volume you’ll love without upsetting anyone else. Playing your games on a full-sized TV can also be done with a video output cable.

    Connect Your PSP to Your PS3


    Nearly seven years after Nintendo introduced the Advance link cable to connect its GameCube and Game Boy systems, Sony followed up with a solution of its own. The PSP Plus is designed to connect specific PSP games to the Playstation 3. You may know this, but the first psp games to roll out this will be the awesome Resistance franchise. (This game is going to seriously rock!)

    As you may know, the psp games is scheduled to launch in the spring of next year. Resistance: Retribution will be the first game PS3 players get to enjoy. Anyway, if you are wondering if it is going to be difficult to do this, then let me explain the process. When the title releases, gamers that own Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 2 will be able to transfer the action via a USB cable.

    That’s right folks. USB cable! How simple is that!

    Anyway, once it’s ported to the PS3, exclusive content and game modes will be unlocked for a different experience. The campaign mode will allow you to play with a wireless Dualshock controller and complete the missions on your very own TV. According to Sony, the connection remains active until turning off your PSP.

    I’m hoping this is going to be awesome for us.

    Generation of Chaos Hits PSP

    Files under PSP Games | Leave a Comment


    It was only a matter of time before Chaos made its way over to the PSP. A popular PS2 series, Generation of Chaos is now available for Sony’s portable hardware, bringing with it the same great fun.

    The most unique part about Generation of Chaos Aedis Eclipse is three different stories that you can choose from. There is Greekland, the lower world, Aedis, the surface world and Galadia, the celestrial world. While you have the freedom to choose, novice players will have a much easier time in Greekland. Like most action packed strategy games, the main purpose of this one is to keep yourself alive and destroy your enemy’s headquarters.

    The interface could have been a little more user-friendly but it doesn’t hinder the action too much. After getting into the game, you could be at it for hours as that is how long it will take you to complete the largest map. For the PSP, Aedis Eclipse makes a nice follow up to the successful PSP 2 series.
