OMG! Is this thing for real!

I grabbed this off You Tube…

If that’s for real, I gotta get me one!
Maybe then I can finally play Dark Stalkers & Alpha 3 decently.

I thought maybe you were talking about an actual arcade stick. Fuck…analog sticks for fighters suck but I guess it’s better than that atrocity of a dpad.

Here’s a longer updated vid:

I gotta find a tutorial on building one of those!

  • Edit: and it looks like I found part #1 - Tutorial

I’m thinking its possible to pop a joystick in there with a couple wiring changes

although it’d be a waste of time.

EDIT: a HUGE waste of time …

thought crossed my mind too. but wtf for? totally useless, impractical, and as you said, huge total waste of time. point of psp is portability, dragging around joysticks for it, lame.

That’s awesome

While I was driving around today, I was toying around with the idea of having a crapload of wires coming out of a psp with a DB15 port for NeoGeo emulation purposes. I also realized there’s 2 extra pins you could plug 2 more buttons in to…

Who are you people?!?!? Did anyone even watch those clips? How is that attachment not portable (I know people who carry around three or four games at a time, which it just as big if not bigger)? And the adapter is completely detachable, so you only need to use it when you want to. Did anyone even bother to read the tutorial site, or did you all just look at the pictures?

The point being the D-Pad on the PSP blows for fighting games, and the analog nub it just as bad, this mod is really inventive and I believe would be great for games like DarkStalkers, Tekken, and Street Fighter Alpha 3. I don’t see why you all have to rag so hard on it.

Who are you is more like it, and why are you riding this guy’s nuts? People are entitled to their own opinion, you obviously liked it a lot more than others. I personally think it’s a waste of time, yes the D-Pad blows for fighting games, but anything besides a stick blows IMO.

Couldn’t this be done with a standard Dualshock d-pad?

Who Are You??? You are an idiot! Just cause he likes it, it means that hes riding the guys nuts… wow
Also it is not a waste of time, it’s actually clever and practical, because the psp dpad sux balls

Is it me or does that analog stick hanging on the side look really uncomfortable to use?

its just you

I think you misunderstood what some of the guys were saying. Someone in the thread mentioned rigging up a real joystick to the psp and another poster mentioned adding extra buttons. They both decided that those ideas where a huge waste of time. No one really ragged on the attachment you posted about. They just thought when you said joystick you meant joystick and not an analog stick.

yeah, I dont really see that thing making all that much of a difference.

Yeah I guess I did kinda misunderstand. I re-read those replies and it does make more sense the way you explained it. Sorry for over reacting.

yea its pointless since the only game you’ll be getting exclusivity on is Tekken 5 DR
alpha 3 and darkstalkers you can get on ps2 which is cheaper

lots neat for non-fighting games though although this is a fighting game board.
