PSP Extra Analog Stick Mod
by Raj Patel on October 10, 2006

I think there’s enough evidence out there to officially say that the PSP isn’t the best portable option for a gamer. We’ve got a few titles coming up including Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, but we all know it isn’t going to save the Playstation Portable. However, the lack of good games weren’t the only obstacle for the PSP. The portable console also faced awful controls - especially the analog stick. The infamous Ben Heck decided to take matters into his own hands, and mod the PSP with an actual analog stick.

Apparently, the process of adding an extra analog stick to your PSP isn’t too difficult. You’ll need a PSP, an analog stick from an actual controller and 4 pieces of thin wire or ribbon cable. You’ve also got to have some basic tools including a small soldering iron, desoldering iron, wire cutters and a small Philips screwdriver. If you’ve got all the essentials, hit the link below and you’ll find yourself in the first part (out of two) of PSP-modding heaven.

  • Fixing the analog nipple won’t help too much. The PSP desperately needs a second analog stick, as games like Siphon Filter or GTA have shown.

  • Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
    What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
    The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
