Playing a PSP – with an SNES controller

It probably was a matter of time before someone decided to try plugging an SNES controller into a PSP (hey, if you can plug a PS2 analog stick, and toss in motion sensors to boot, what can’t you plug?). Well, thanks to a tip from Natboy, he showed us this: AcidMods‘ F00 f00’s external PSP controller test with an SNES controller. Talk about old-school control.

For the skeptical, F00 f00 says that he’s not using a PC anywhere in this hookup, so there is no delay in control inputs. There’s the matter, however, of the DualShock 2. Either it’s a very pretty stand for the PSP to be held in a semi-upright position for easy viewing by the camera, or it mediates inputs from the SNES controller to the PSP. Absent any further details from F00 f00, or elaborate design schematics, we can only assume.

WARNING: Mod not meant for games which use the nub separately from the D-pad. (Thanks again for the tip, Natboy!)
