External PSP Dualshock Controller

This video shows a PSP-1001 being controlled with an external DualShock controller. This is achieved completely through hardware modification and can be done with any firmware. Both the PSP and the controller have been modified internally to make this work, and a custom detachable cable was made to interface them.

The PSP retains all of its original functionality and portability, while the external controller provides some additional control scheme advantages and a much more ergonomic alternative when using the PSP at home (particularly for people like myself with larger than average hands).

The games shown in the video are:
Crush (Puzzle/Platformer) - a great game
Coded Arms (FPS) - not a great game

    You can’t necessarily put games from other consoles on PSP, most of it is Homebrew, that uses the Triangle square circle X as a 2nd analogue stick, in this case, its mapped to the Left Analogue stick, and the right is wired to the Up down left right or Analogue depends on the game.

    Regular psp, what he did was he soldered wires to all of the controls on the inside, such as up down left right, square triangle circle cross/x, and he wired them to a 24? pin female connector, then he wired up the ps2 controller to the male connector, so it worked when he plugged it in, really innovative.
