Nice! If you can get everything wired up it'll be great! On your real psp though, try not to scratch the case ;) your test psp has a lot of scratches near the 2nd nub. Other than that though, it should be fine :) good luck!
Wait..? where's the AC plug?
I HAVE heard that you have to remove it for dual numbs, but I then heard someone say that's only for phat, that you can leave it on for slim.
You should really use some sort of plastic to fill that hole... gonna get dusty in there after awhile... not good.
any tips on how do dual nub? And what did board to you use to make the razor? the razor x or razor2?
nice! you should definitely fill in the charging hole then it would look sick :tup:
Nice job bro!
Only thing I don't like is the gab I'm trying to figure out some way you would use custom plastics to fill it.
Hey dude looking great.
That'll definitely help out peeps who need to know if you do need a switch, and that usb charge with the camera will work.
For clarification, what data wire did you put the switch on? Data+ or data- ?
Fourth:
BIG UPDATE
I’m excited to show you guys what I’ve been working on... but also a little ashamed.
Lets finish where I left off last post.
I found out you NEED a switch to use the USB and have a Camera, So I added a switch.
Another thing that I did was do the USB Charge Mod.
I followed wesley_huddleston1 tutorial HERE (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=13468.0)
Since its a mod for the PSP FAT all you have to do for the PSP Slim is Steps 3 & 4
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg18.imageshack.us%2Fimg18%2F2567%2Fusbcharge2.jpg&hash=b04260eac3e2a3fedfe08a1761eb65e15d55fa9b)
After that was done I did some testing!
I wasn’t sure if having the USB Charge would interfere with the internal Camera mod so I did a couple of tests:
First I tested plugging the PSP in the Computer via USB/Mini USB cable:
- Charged with power off
- Started up without a battery
- Was not able to use camera when plugged in the Computer
Second I tried it out with a standerd Mini USB wall charger:
-Charged with power off
-Started without a battery
- WAS ABLE to use the camera WHILE plugged in!
Third tested a Mini USB car charger:
- Charged with power off
- Started up without a battery
- Was not able to use camera when plugged in
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg15.imageshack.us%2Fimg15%2F2020%2Fusbcharge1.jpg&hash=214d83b9e49b59a023e76f049754845d7378ad99)
So over all I have to say it was a success! You can do the USB Charge mod AND have an internal camera!
Alrighty, now on to my next mod:
Its a simple one.
I swapped out the memory stick LED to a blue one. I am also planing on swapping out the Charge LED to blue, but I just haven’t received the Green LEDs yet.
|color skim: |
|Blue – Memory Stick & Charge | Green: WiFi & Power|

Next I did some case moding!
As I have been saying from the beginning I want this PSP to look like it came from the factory with all these mods already done. So here's my concept for the Switches:
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg10.imageshack.us%2Fimg10%2F9241%2Fswitches1.jpg&hash=c47151793ded81d38b32650f3409b5936de9305a)
Whatcha think??
I am going to sand down the words WLAN but keep the arrow and dots.
Lastly I assembled the RAZOR X Nub.
I followed this tutorial HERE (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.pspgen.com/forums/viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D44%26t%3D107679&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.pspgen.com/forums/viewtopic.php%253Ff%253D44%2526t%253D107679%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DK93%26sa%3DG)
I didn’t take any pictures of the process, but some tips for other people:
- Be careful not to tin the RAZOR X board to much, the spring might not work well.
- DON’T USE TO MUCH SUPER GLUE!
And heres the embarrassing part....
So I was trying to wire the second nub to the PSP Slim board and failed... miserably.
I CAN NOT solder to the ZIF connector.
I tried all day and ended up breaking the ZIF connector.... and in the end breaking my PSP Test Motherboard. I’m not really bummed about breaking the Motherboard, it was already broken! Haha
What I’m more bummed about was that I couldn’t do it.
I sent an Email to Jumbo and I’m hoping he will be able to send me a “pre-wired” PSP slim motherboard.
Well there ya have it!
I’m learning all these skills and I hope I’m being helpful with sharing my experiences.
I’m almost ready to do all this moding on the PSP I will be moding for REAL! So stay tuned!
My next Update will be LED Swaping of the Power board and adding one more button(surprise!)
Thanks for reading!
nice job on this whole thing jobless its coming out great. im surprised by ur razor how you fit with the power plug still there did u sand it down pretty well huh.
Where did you buy your blue LED?
wow l;ast time i tried making awhole in the middle the razor it didnt work out so well did u place a lot of solder to keep the nub from woobling insideHmm, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
well i made my own but its a good one so yea. i kno ur post to tin but did u tin enough to were it clamp that middle peace from wooblingI did tin it, and the middle piece is not wobbling... so I guess I tinned it enough haha
I have to say this is very very intresting lots of info here
Nice work man keep it up ill be watching for the finishing.Thanks :)
nice work dude.
I will be having a stab at that rumble circut tonight, if this new circut I designed worked its going to unlock new modding capabilities.
w00t to you jobless!
You've apparently been a posting maniac.... I remember when you have like 200-300 posts hehe.
you've obviously got good soldering skilz and the bawls to use them on your PSP....
I would definately make the investment if I had the extra cash and time to invest. I tried the internal cam mod but ended up mucking up my USB connector with a $15 soldering iron.
A suggestion for your cam.. If you have an extra case I would definately try to squeeze it in under the mem stick slot and see if you can work some kinda cover for the lense...Keeping the UMD would be nice just for legacy sake :)

Looking good jobless. Howed that solder job on the zif hold up? Loving the Final faceplate's hole. Very well sanded!I haven't gotten around to actually wiring it up yet, but your soldering job is top notch :)
Nice progress there jobless your almost there well done.
Finally done! This PSP is awesome. A lot of fine work went into it and was definitely worth it. Great job man hope to see more from you in future.
Great job man :clap:Thanks man! If you have some free time just hit me up! ;)
can't wait to see what you do in the future.
Congrats on finally finishing it and sick vid!
That singer is smokin lol.
But yeah, it's sweet dude.
:w00t: wow hmmm whos better the singer or the psp. But nice job man it turned out really professional.
First off I want to thank all of you for your comments :)Yea it can be done only issue now of that is money if money can be raised to build these equipments that could make these molding that would be it there. I have few ideas.
I guess I got locked out of pspmod.com for posting this...
I tried replying to my thread and I guess I need approval from a moderator before I can post? ahg. what bs. I was just trying to show it off there too.
Also, let me see if I can get some help from you guys and fill you in:
What I've done is basically a prototype of what can be done. What I would REALLY like is if a few of us modders get together and get some premodded faceplates/backplates/umd doors molded in plastic and mass produced. I'm also wanting a "plug and play" version of the camera/dual nub and in the future a rumble feature. So in the end ANYONE with a PSP and a screw driver could just take there stock PSP faceplate off and swap it out with our premodded case and add "plug and play" extensions. That's what I'm striving for, I my head I'm thinking and hoping is "well Sony, if you are not going to bring what the customer wants to the plate then I will". But, we will all see how this pans out in the community, if more people want this and we get a big backing then I will do everything in my power to make sure it is brought to the plate.
Yea that would be a smart idea with the casing and that. What you said about the what consumer wants you are absolutely right about it we expect more but seems Sony isnt taking that step to doing so thats why we all mod simply to satisfy what we like and bring others to this as well. I mean i still like like the 2000 and 1000 over the PSP go the standards dont meet what i like.
Yea it can be done only issue now of that is money if money can be raised to build these equipments that could make these molding that would be it there. I have few ideas.
nice work buddy...
really stock looking psp you have there...
btw how did you make the extre wlan button?did you get another wlan from another slim
trim?sorry for the silly question buddy...i just love how you make that extra button...
also i like your ideas on producing premodded case..but just like balzin says money
matters for it to be achieved..i was thinking maybe you can talk to some small plastic
manufacturer that can make your concept designs..have them make your molded designs
then mass produce it.
looks cool, dont like the girl in the vid she seems to over-reacting a lot:plol thanks man, and yeah, I agree ;)
very nice mod dude
Sweet, I'm not the only one that thinks we should tackle this. I agree, we need to see how this pans out, but if we get a big enough backing I'll see what I can do about the money part. I guess you can call me crazy, but I really see a big market in this...Yea there are some ppl on here that know quite a bit about molding but the psp is going to be a trick and not easy to over come. But if we can round up those who have done molding before you may have something going soon.
Could you upload some pix of how you did you internal Flash memory? ...and the placement. I think I installed my camera where you put it. I installed my Chotto Shot Go!Cam las year.....and I put the switch on the wrong cable.....the 5v, thinking it would work with USB connection, but nope.....til FINALLY i saw your diagram. (I THINK it was yours.) said to put the switch on the D+. Works GREAT now.Hey man,
The LED's you see aren't connected, but maybe later. When you turn on the camera, the 5v output on the sides of the PSP USB port turn on....i was thinking to series some LED's there. WHITE! WHITE! WHITE! ....i made a device to test out ALL kinds of 5v things....the one shown is a mim amp for mini speakers (an old iPod dock)......ive already tried, a BUNCH of desktop USB accessories, a laser pointer, and even charged my DS through it!
BLA-GOOJE!!!!
Your work is beautifully done. Meticulous. Masterful. Man, oh Man.
I fully support you jobless punk. I don't think you'll be able to get it mass produced though. Everyone wants to do it.
sony over here (netherlands) did notice.They noticed it? What are they doing with it? I actually started blushing when I read this for some reason. >.>
they are working one something.
i love having an uncle that is CEO over here:P
As for the 32GB you use this:Is it possible to use the normal Memorystick slot and that thing at the same time? Or can you use this just instead of the normal Memorystick slot?
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16489 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16489)
and 2 16GB SanDisk MicroSDHC
They noticed it? What are they doing with it? I actually started blushing when I read this for some reason. >.>
How much would one of these cost from you jobless? :D
Hey man,
very nice Camera set up you have there!!
As for the 32GB you use this:

well, my uncle is CEO of the distribution of sony's game departement over here.
he hears a lot of inside info.
Another thing that I did was do the USB Charge Mod.Why only one wire, don't you need one for - and one for +?

Are there any updates on this product? I would pay for one to be built today if it was possible.
Jobless: I love your work. Well done mate.
