*Update*
For those interested in how to hardwire input devices to a PSP, or use a hardwired microcontroller to manage input from unmodified devices, more information can be found here (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=17761.msg133741#msg133741).
This post once contained pictures and video of a busted playstation controller that had been rewired to control a PSP through a 25 pin connector. The image and video links are dead so all of this has been removed. However, in the time since this post was created new and improved projects have been posted by other users on the forum complete with pictures and video:

Crazy man, Props. Nice clean finsh and looks slick as hell. Just wondering, where could I purchase on of these 25 pin connectors?
-
It looks amazing! Slick and elegant. Where did you buy this connector and socket? I want it!
-
omg amazing!! its like u have replaced f00 f00
seriously tho this is amazing, alot of ppl will ask for a tut tho so good luck
-
omg frickin sweet so clean!!!!!!if any1 needs cutsom cut cases for mods like this i do them with my milling machine,a bit pricey but s00per clean,d00d dis is fckn sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet it blows my mind!
-
Brilliant mate! :tup: Love the way you can turn the psp off via the analog on/off button. i remember there being a rumble mod for the psp, could you make this controller mod, but incorporate the rumble using the one's already in the controller? so say when you get a load noise from getting smacked up in a game, the controller rumbles.
-
Yeah you could, It would have to work when the speakers reach a certain pitch. The motors would have to be replaced but it is a simple mod.

-

In that case GOOD JOB MAN ITS LOOKS BADASS!
-
dude thats awesome very nice and clean with the connector and alot of work gone into this one :#1:
-
all yeah need to do is put PSP batteries in place of the rumble motors and wire them internally, so it acts as an auxiliary power source as well. As it is lacking LED's pimp that thing out man! :tup:

That's a great idea, but i don't think you could get a psp battery in the controller. not where the motors are at least.
-

or you can wire the motors up to some tact switches and put the switches below the L&R buttons in the ps3 controller so you can have rumble
-
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. That is one great job i must say. Post a tutorial for those of us less educated.
-
nice but i like the one fufa made. the one with 4 usb ports it looks nicer to me
-
i would have to say that is one of the most professional mods i have seen on her looks good maybe to good haha
-
nice but i like the one fufa made. the one with 4 usb ports it looks nicer to me
It was f00f00 who made it and I like one port better than 4
-
yea it was foofoo but 1 slot is much better than 4 have the dua rumble shocks been intergrated into this?... btw foos only looks better cas of his awesome mount he made for it
-

Very true! if this had some sort of mount that locked the psp in place then that would help for portable game play. One solt is better, don't see how some people prefer the 4 usb ports. so much place used and it's ugly.
-
haha nice work props, 1 is better then 4 :winker:
-
Just wow , greatwork I like finish like this :tup:
-
Cleanest thing I've ever seen.

major props bro
-
Very Nice Blizzard if you are interested let me know I have some projects that are looking for people to work on
-
super awesome stuff :)
good work
-
Keep going dude.
I still want to meet you or your soldering iron.
What soldering iron do you use?
I use a weller WM15L 15Watts and I need a new and thinner tip.
You are very good at soldering!! You're a master! :clap:
-
Very clean and well done.
I think the reason that some people like F00f00's 4 usb connectors better is because they are semetrical. I know that there is not enough room to wire this connector on the top or bottom easily, but I think that's what would make this mod truly amazing.
Although, very well done. Did you use a dremmel to cut the hole in the trim? A scalpel?
-
He would have used a dremmel to cut the hole in his PSP
-
not necsarally

Between a scalpel and a dremel I mean

-
Where did you get the controller from? How much did it all cost?
-
What did you do to get the wires around the golden wifi thing (whatever you call it)? did you go under it, pushing the golden thing closer to the power board?
-
congratz man your on psp-hacks and engadget
-
Wow I tip my hat very, very clean!!!
Good work!
-
your on pspfanboy and hackaday now your doing well lol

NICE JOB DUDE! :tup:
I gotta say this is the best External Controller MOD I seen.

WATISHHH!!!!! just kiddn dude brilliant mod i love it!!!!its 3 in the morning here in ireland so i better be off lol,SO CLEAN!!!would you mind drawing me a guide of where you trailed the wires on paint or something becase i tried something like this before but i couldnt get the psp closed lol
-
god i want to do this
-
That's one hell of a nice mod, these are the things that make me want to mod my psp again. :tup:
-
How could you ever stop? Its things like these that will always keep you interested
-
A switchable 15/30w iron from RadioShack, but I keep it set to 30w for almost everything. I get the tips for it at a local hardware store because their prices are much better, I usually switch between a chisel tip for desoldering, and a pointed tip for everything else.
I see. I just need a new tip and then I'm ready again to mod and make a cool pad
I wanted for so long to play a game at it's fool awesomeness!!
The tip I have now cost me 10euros and it's not that thin and a bit burned on the
end so I need to find a place with better,cheaper and thinner tips.
Thank you Blizzrad! You rule.
-
I've got to get a new tip too but the one I've got now will have to do. Its a little burnt at the top but added a bit of solder to it to get it good again.
-

I can do the job with the one I have now but it's gonna be a bit hard and with bad soldering.
Though if I'm so very impatient I'll do it with my current tip and play all day with my new pad!!
-
lol, same here, I've already ordered a clear SCPH-1200 PS1 controller. When it comes, I'm going to be working non stop

-
Good infomation, I've been drawing diagrams and thinking about how I am going to route the wire inside the PSP. I've been collecting ports that have a resonable amount of pins too
-
i didnt realise this but your on gizmodo as well - i still cant get over how clean this looks. now thinking about it if you did this on a psp slim you got yoursel a very small ps1/ps2 style console
-
i think im going to do this
-
*deleted
-
damn, that looks ridiculously clean, nice mod!!!
-
Looks good, I'm rerouting my wires a different way, but you put a lot of thought into it
-
woop old thread bump
i would just like to ask a few questions:
1) how many of the pins on the connector did you use?
2) can i see some pictures of how you connected the wires to the board in the ps2 controller please
-
*deleted
-
ok thanks man ill look forward to them, one more question, do you need the board that is in the ps1/2 controller to wire to or can i connect the wire directly to the connector and analouge sticks, if i do need it then i think i need a new controller, also because this is not like when its connected to the psp do i need the chip where you connect the second analouge stick to or can you remove that and just wire to the pads where the pins were?
thanks in advance
*searches desperateley for a 23 - 30 pin connector*

Sparkfun electronics has 30 pin IPOD connectors and plugs
Micro size

ZIF Connectors?

off topic but spotted this while looking for the connector http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8651 (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8651) add 2 resistors to the 2 non present pins and solder inputs to it you got a sound mod board for 5usd includeing lm386 board and resistors! i looked all over sparkfun too vox they dont have them anymore they will prob get more soon digikey has all linds just gota look at the data sheet to pick the one you want just search 30 pin there
-
How much modding experience will i need to be able to make this. I am fairly good at soldering after doing electronics for two years at school yet not all that great at case mods.
-
fairly good
You've got to me a LOT more than "Fairly good" at only soldering to do this.
-
you might want to have some fairly good equipment as well. very fine tipped iron, steady hands, all the necessary stuff.
-
My dad is a electrician and has soldering irons of various sizes and solder ect so il have all the nessessary stuff, The only item i may not have is the 25 pin connectors but im sure some of the junk in my house has a couple lemme just have a rummage to find out.
-
...Like I said. If you're just "fairly good" at soldering, you'll be short a psp dude. You ARE going to screw up unless you're really good at soldering.
-
Which mods should i do as more practice?
I was thinking of doing the led mod as i heard that it is the best one for getting better at Soldering. But i want to also try the dual nub mod with the razorx as an alternative to this one, but i cant find a tut for the slim installation, unless its the same.
-
Find some old printed circuit boards
with surface mount chips on them.
Practice re soldering the chips and see how
are it is to solder one and not get solder on the one
next to it.
If you make a mistake see what it takes to remove
the soldering without damaging the board
Practice makes perfect.

-
Hmm well ill get some practice in and when i feel i am ready i will give it a crack on an older psp of mine. Although if that other one does come out soon ill prolly wait for that as it does seem alot less work for the same result =) But atm this one still stands as the main one ill try.
-
The hardest soldering part is soldering onto the ps2 controller ribbon cable, lucky i had 2, becuase i melted the first one. I had an old ipod nano(broken) that i toke apart for the adapter. When i took it apart, it looked like there is no place to solder to it.
-
thats hella sick
-
there are some ps2 controllers that have no fpc connecter. I learned that the hard way
-
u should make it so u can use the right analog
-
Someone (I don't remember who now) told me recently that they were working on doing exactly that, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see it here soon too.
I actually tried it and it didn't work. Don't know why. I followed the diagram to the letter, but no such luck...To my knowledge, nobody actually every did it, just the diagram.
-
Yeah, I was actually working on it for a bit, but now I have found some better componants to use than reed relays. So i am working again.
When you figure it out, please let me know. I have it all pretty much wired up, just gotta replace whatever you find necessary and put it back in.
-
very smexy blizzard ima do the same thing with my see throught blue controller plus ill add leds
-
can i use teh connector from an ipod video and the usb female? i scrapped the ipod cause the headphone jacks busted, and the screen as well. oh and i found it on the road :w00t: so im gonna use the HD for the PSP HD mod, and the connectors for potentially this?
-
*deleted
-
hell, ill get a robot to sodder the pins :huh:
-
are u able to put up what you acually didi because im intrested in doing it as well I have every thing except the female and male 23-30 pin :psp: :drunk:

He’s got a point. Seriously, this is old news. I did this a long time ago with a psp2tv adapter. It was used for video output on the fat psp before sony made the psp slim wireless internet (http://www.firstwebhosting.net/wireless-internet-access.html). But all you had todo was hook up a few spliiters that came with the kit where the button pads hooked in. You’d plug the button pads into one plug and the psp2tv into the other, and just hook a ps1 or ps2 controller tothe psp2tv dock.
