Using a 360 controller to play PSP games

Imagine a gaming utopia, where Sony and Microsoft are friends. Gamers will be able to buy just one piece of hardware, and get all the best games on one machine. You'll be able to plug in whatever controller you like and it'll work. Unfortunately, that utopia will never emerge as reality. Until then, we're going to have to amuse ourselves with clever (and cute) pieces of homebrew like this. Maxconsole's Jay has made it possible to use a 360 controller on a PSP. It's certainly not the most useful thing to do -- but an impressive feat of engineering nonetheless!

Imagine doing this with a PSP-2000 (Assuming it will be cracked). Then you plug it into your TV and sit on the couch and play with the wireless controller. Just like a normal console!

Good news for you my friend, that pandora's battery hack will work with ANY psp, old or new, to get it to fw 1.50!!

as for that hack, isn't it a bit pointless if there's no option for duel analogue control??
