Teh 0verl0rd FPS PSP Mod: PS2 analogue sticks, tactile switches

Like playing First Person Shooters on your Sony Play Station Portable but find the controls a bit too restricting? Modder Teh_0verl0rd may have the solution. He has released details and pictures of his first FPS PSP mod. The handheld itself looks really good with its clear faceplate and back lights. However, the changes that most gamers would probably pay attention to is the new control scheme for the unit.

Do you like playing First Person Shooters on your Sony Play Station Portable but find the controls a bit too restricting? Modder Teh_0verl0rd may have the solution. He has released details and pictures of his first FPS PSP mod. The handheld itself looks really good with its clear faceplate and back lights. However, the changes that most gamers would probably pay attention to is the new control scheme for the unit.

Teh_0verl0rd swapped out the analog stick and the cross,circle, square, and triangle buttons with a pair of PS2 analogue sticks. In addition, he also added tactile switches for both the D-pad and the buttons. While we haven’t seen the unit in action, the addition of the tactile switches should provide users with more control than the standard PSP configuration.

Some of the more experienced modders on the Acid Mods forums who saw this commented that the FPS PSP may need smaller analogue sticks and that the left stick may need to be properly centered. That said, we’re hoping that Teh_0verl0rd decides to release a video of this PSP.
