PSP Plus Second Stick, Camera, 32 Gigs

jobless_punk_psp_mod

[JoblessPunk] recently finished his what-a-psp-should-be mod. He’s internalized a camera and added a switch in the body to toggle between using the camera or using the USB port. There’s an additional analog stick, and added charging functionality via the USB port. He’s also packed in an additional 32 GB of flash memory. The device is of course running custom firmware which facilitates the ubiquitous flock of emulators and homebrew apps.

We agree that the original PSP is a pretty powerful handheld that never saw a full realization of its potential.  With the impending release of the next generation PSP Go we hope the price and availability of the older units leads to more mods of this sort. Check out the video after the break.

Here’s a well made video from [JoblessPunk] detailing his work. The first half is propaganda to help find partners for a future commercial venture involving these mods.  The second half shows-off the new features, connectors, control, etc. Try to resist the urge to strangle when you get 25 seconds into the video; it’s all uphill from there.

  1. A touch-screen would’n be a baad idea!
    Would making a fimware whith this be too hard? Generally no, but i dont know the psp firmware/software.

    It would be brillinat for nintendo DS emulation and you would flip the console 90 degrees to use one half of the screen for the DS-stylus :b

  2. She never looked right at the camera for more then two seconds,….

    More importantly this was done rather nicely, and if I had a psp this is what I would do to it. definitely digging the dual “nubs”.

  3. “DUAL KNOBS OH MY GOD”

    “so, I can take a picture of my family with my PSP?”

    I won’t even try to make fun of her

    Cool hack, but honestly, I hope he fails to market it. Maybe jobless punk should get a job.

  4. So…. whats the hack again ?
    “Note:
    This PSP is my “TEST” PSP
    I have not run the wires to make the nub actually function”
    Its a mod… not hackaday worthy
    Nice chick btw

  5. So basically he’s just done what the acidmod guys have been doing forever and trying to make some cash off it. Awesome.

    If he could cram the flashdrive in the psp and still leave the umd drive functional then it might be worth looking into.
