[Asayyeah]

@ username : for my broken stick or nub and then few months later with my Dpad , i get it to the game shop i purchased it and the retailer gave me a 2nd hand's one waiting for my psp been repaired or exchanged by Sony Japan ( 1 first time with the nub they gave me a brand new one , and 2ndly i don't know for the broken Dpad if they can reapair it or not ).

a brocken d-pad sounds fixable to me, all i think that you should have to do is remove the front panel and replace the plastic button cover. but i wouldnt try it yourself

[Sausehuhn]

if just the cover is broken that's no problem. Just pull it out. Done that a few times for cleaning my PSP

[username]

how do you do that max? i think mine could do with a nice clean. *i wonder how many pieces of fluff i can find???*

Yea, i like the sharpness of the stick but keep making silly errors, pushin forward while turning so not getting it as sharp, practice i guess.

PS Did you know that if you've got an old analouge PSX/2 controller you can modify the the thumb stick to fit on the psp? the slot it mounts on is the same, you just need to file off the 'shoulder' on the PS2 stick. alot easy to get to if you have shovell hands like mine.

can you post a link to a guide to that? I'm curious to see it, I find the slidy nature of the psp nub makes it unusable for me, so if a tilty analogue stick can be fitted I might be able to use it

[Nifton]

It still doesn't tilt though just makes it alot easier to handle, can actualy hold the nub and use the shoulder without danger of firing th PSP across the room. I'll try n find the guide.

edit by Lance: redundant quote eliminated. please read the guidelines

I started using the stick, but recently switched to D-Pad due to familiarity.

When it comes to Wipeout on PSP it has to be the d-pad for me, the stick is too unresponsive and uncomfortable to use, its the sole reason why I won't play GTA on PSP I hate that stupid little stick
