PSP Push-Activated Shoulder Button Lighting Mod

greg | October 30, 2006

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.

Two random screenshots (click to enlarge):

Check out the mod in its entirety over at Everett’s website.

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.
