PSP mod integrates mouse support


What's the PSP missing? No, not a second analog nub (or hardware refresh), it's missing a mouse!

PSP hacker TokyoDrift found a way to map the handheld's buttons to a mouse, using nothing more than a PS2 mouse, an ATMEL ATmega8 chip-sporting breadboard, and a massive brain. PSP users looking to do this themselves can find all of the steps at the pspfreak.de forums. Of course, it goes without saying that you should probably be somewhat comfortable with homebrew before trying this.

If you want to see it in action before attempting it, or you would like to know why someone would do this, check out some video past the break.
