Today's most-watched YouTube game video shows the result of a slick dual-analog mod for the PSP. Well, sort of ...We can't tell if the right analog-style stick is inputing variable speeds, or if it's just mirroring the digital face buttons. (We're leaning towards digital input through the analog-type stick.) Still, it's a cool hack, and your right thumb won't be jealous of the already-mentioned left-stick hack.
See the video after the break.

Now all that's missing is the overheating power supply and five surround sound speakers. With those additions, we should be able to vanquish all semblance of portability in this "portable" system and return it to its roots once and for all.

The article shows a picture of a Ps2 CONTROLLER +
a PSP.
NOT a PS2 + a PSP
I personally don't care for it but it was indeed a hot video.

And funny, all the people who say 'PSP coulda been an FPS contender with a second analog' seem to forget the N64 and Goldeneye/Perfect Dark...

I would also like to place my vote in the "not fake" ballot for this, since the same modder has already released design documentation on how to do your own left analog usb mod.
As far as the comment about the long loading times on the PSP - only noobs use UMDs, they deserve the load times if they don't know ways around it.

Well GUH! That's my point, dumbass. Why put a huge PS2 DualShock controller on a unit that's supposed to be "portable" when the end result is that you're taking away all the portability, and you end up with what is basically a half-assed PS2 with a tiny screen and slower load times?
Hey! Here's an idea! Let's hook up a dance pad to a Nintendo DS! Let's make a four foot tall tripod stand for the iPod. And hey! Just to make it more like our clocks at home, let's attach a huge magnifying lens to a wristwatch!!!
Portability sort of excludes carrying around a DualShock in your pocket. If you're going to stay home and play with a full-sized controller, then you might as well spend half as much and buy a PS2 instead of turning your overpriced portable into a home console.
Guh!
What's next? A mod to make the Wii as big as the PS3? Yay!

The actual mod doesn't use a Dualshock controller. It just takes the previous analog mod and adds a second on the right hand side, basically they take the analog sticks from the dualshock and add mini-usb ports to the sides to plug the sticks into the system.
I think it's a dumb idea myself but whatever.

Why does ZeroCorpse have 7 stars? The only thing I can discern from what he spouts is "bullshit". Nothing in his comments is useful, and he appears to be more like trolling. He also forgot that Microsoft consoles are just as defective as Sony's, and Nintendo's coming with "good quality" with the trade-off of other shortcomings of course; but maybe he has "fanboy amnesia" or "fanboy blindess" though.
