They should move the controls down and the keyboard up. It looks uncomfortable to use.]]>Mar 31st 2008 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/
Here's a mockup of the bottom half (the half that matters for your hands, ignoring the touchscreen).

It won't be uncomfortable at all.

Quality gaming comes from commercialized milked for money sources. Fact.
No "gamer" will ever buy a Pandora. The only people who will buy it are those characters who are proud of installing 200000 homebrew applications on their handheld so that they can boast that it can do this and that and will never ever play a game on it.]]>Mar 31st 2008 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/Mar 30th 2008 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/
I think the only reason Sony hasn't remodeled thePSP with a R.analog is because if they did, newer games would be nearly unplayable on older PSP's which would anger the PSP community.

I really wish they would throw in the Right analog stick. Then they could basically emulate any PS2 game. Perhaps they could cut the L and R buttons in half and make them two buttons. Then the PSP would be complete.]]>Mar 30th 2008 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/

I think Sony actually claimed they wouldn't have 2 analog sticks because it would make the PSP hard to hold.

I think sony should have put dual sticks flanking the LCD screen near its centereline. This way you'd be holding the PSP like a controller and using your index fingers for actions while your thumbs controlled movement and aiming.

The PSP really wasn't a good design for 3d gaming. Its better for using the DPAD and the 4 face buttons.

Analog sticks are something no portable console has really had to deal with since older games were 2D. Sony took a good shot but got it wrong considering they were trying to produce PS2 quality games. Hopefully the next redesign of the PSP will get it all right.]]>Mar 30th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/I agree, I think that the analog stick on the psp is too low to use comfortably. I would much rather have it closer to the top where my thumb falls naturally.]]>Mar 31st 2008 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/Mar 30th 2008 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/
AcidMods already has a working unreleased POC that converts the digital to analog wich we will release in the near future.
Also there are a number of SONY PSP FPS games that make use of this digital configuration as it stands today. The one used in the video is a good example. The Video can be found here = http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=17041.msg129796

As far as the ability to hold the PSP, it does take some getting used to (The Nub) at first but that only took me an hour or so.]]>Apr 9th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/Mar 31st 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/

I love my Slim but I would ditch it for a dual-analog platform that plays orignal xbox games (downloadable or copied to mem card plus it's own).]]>Mar 31st 2008 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/30/psp-slim-modded-for-dual-analog-sticks/May 25th 2008 11:10AM
