PSP Push-Activated Shoulder Button Lighting Mod

Posted by greg

Everett has emailed PSP hacks with a remarkable PSP mod; not even MacGyver could pull this off –

Sony decided to make the PSP shoulder buttons transparent, leaving modders an excellent opportunity to make the device look way cooler with lighting. Llamma has done a write up on adding lights to the buttons. I wanted a similar effect, but not for the lights to be on all the time—I wanted the buttons to light when they are pushed. This is how I did it.

    Na it wouldn’t waste the battery, why? because LEDs are being used! not some other source. You should know that already man.

    Good one man!
    I would put these on my PSP too, but I am too afraid to open up my PSP

    It would be cool if I could pay someone to do it for me. The only thing I’ve hacked by opening up are my Guitar Hero controller and a PSX controller to turn it into a metal DDR pad. And neither of those cost 250 bucks I’d be out if I messed up.

    Nice but it will eat your batteries faster and also it’s not a good idea to open your PSP without reason - it’s hard to avoid dust on LCD.
