I’m not sure why anyone would want to do this, but some guy has managed to interface his PSP with the Nintendo Wii motion-sensing controller.

Wii-mote on PSP

PSP hacker joesnose MacGyvered together a combination of the GlovePIE, iRShell and Nethostfs libraries to make it all play nicely. The idea that it took a PC, a PSP and the Wii-mote seems like too much work for too little payoff.

If he could figure out a way to cram the motion sensor circuits and applications inside the PSP, then it would be far more useful. I guess some people just do things to prove they can be done.

[Be sure to check out Joe's excellent NES DVD case mod too. I need one of those.]

Nope this is not fake becuse i have tested it by my self. its kinda hard to fix a wii control to steering with on PSP but its not impossible. Do a Test if you want to but remember its REEEEEALY hard

Given the software that was said to have been used, i’d say that’s entirely possible. All it would take is running software that would take the wiimote signals and translate it to an x and y axis, then set it those axis’ to the psp controls.

Obviously easier said than done. But entirely possible. The translation process is why the controls have the small delay. It’s a small delay, but it’s there. Also the wifi light is active, so you can tell it’s either receiving or sending information.

The Sixaxis controls aren’t much better. The PSP would require custom firmware to do this in case some of you were wondering why you couldn’t do this. Just takes a bit of knowhow and a lot of free time. lol

Before anyone says i’m trolling with the sixaxis comment i made.. I own a PS1, PS2, PS3, and a PSP and I don’t own any xbox(360 or otherwise) or wii.. lol
