Joe Stranger emailed in to let us know about his ghetto PSP joystick modification. This is a totally beautiful piece of art which works by utilizing a DIY mini usb type port to to the psp and a mini usb connector to an analog stick , this makes it detachable and adds scope to making different addons (steering wheel). Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! If you want to help spread the word about this modification, then digg this!

hello,
i just carried out my first psp hardware mod, i love racing games and
ever since i got my psp i couldnt beleive how unresponsive the thumb nub
was. I opened it up once with a veiw to adding a steering wheel but i
couldnt work out how to wire it. Then last week i read an article about
Benjamin Heckendorn "porting", hacking, a ps2 analogue stick onto his psp.
That was it Ben showed me the light, although he just wired it and had the wires hanging out, i didn't like this so i added a mini usb type port to my psp and a mini usb connector to my stick, this makes it detachable and adds scope to making different addons (steering wheel). Thanks to Benjamin Heckendorn, without his schematics i wouldn't have been able to do this, now my psp feels whole.
Thanks to Joe for the e-mail, what a great modification!
