PSP with a SNES controller makes me cry

by david

Well, here is my first grain of sand to Elioncho, who decided to let me post here after NOT ASKING HIM that much. (I’ll keep doing it unless I have to “throw code” like a brick mason… hahaha)

I almost cry when I found a blog where the author shows a modding for a PSP slim. There are many kinds of mods you can find, but… is there any sense on connecting a SNES joypad? For us, SNES lovers who keep living of those great nostalgic moments from the past, it makes perfect sense…How it was done?, simply:

“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.”

Here’s a short demostration:

So after watching this, do you think it’s more comfortable to play SNES with its original joypad or maybe with another one? Lets open a debate. Comment about it!

Cheers,

David
