Hey all, soon (hopefully by end of next week) i will have Ben's book and begin work on my PSp.
couple questions that i have though (if they are covered in the book please just tell me so and mods can lock it)
1) can you wire it so you have the 5" PSone screen on it and also have a jack so you can hook it up to a normal tv? If so, how??
2) can you wire it to have two controller ports? The reason i ask is even though there are going to be controls on the PSp itself, if i want to play with another person it would be impossible for him to see the screen while i was holding it.
so can you wire it so there are a) 2 external controller ports and b) so i can switch between the controls on the PSp itself and an external controller?
if so how?
thanks all,
JDP

Actually that's not covered in the book, but both are very easy to do.
For AV out, just attach a jack to the same spot the PSOne screen is attached. If you want to be able to turn off the screen while it's playing on a tv, add a switch between ground and the screen.
For external controller jacks, just wire them up to the board where they normally go. Add a switch for the player one controls between ground and the controller so you can switch from onboard controls to an external one.
Or, here's an idea - have one switch for ground for both the screen and the player one jack so you can have an "AV out" mode and it will turn both off at the same time. That makes it behave just like a normal unmodded psone!

hmm cool, seems easy enough..
how hard is it to fry a PSone while building? Just wondering because i want to have it done by end of october and with school i really only have time to build one so i want to make sure i dont mess one up??
also i'm gettin an amazin deal from my cousin- 2 controllers, mem card, system, and a ton of games...
for 20 bucks..
which brings up another question- how to incorporate the memory card into the PSp??

1-As long as you don't exceed the nessesary Voltage for and know how to solder you should be fine.
2-You can simply let the Mem Card slot stick out or wire it directly to the mem card without passing by the mem slot and have it integrated.
