Note: In a future video we will be trying out full 3D analog module swaps from various consoles, including the vita and switch, so stay tuned. For anyone new, this is part of Project Smokey: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5iKhtCpu6y-eo0.html

Which mod will be easier to make: PS Vita sticks or Nintendo Switch sticks?

@TotalKommando 3 ай бұрын

@@hitbox2381 The vita is better and easier in this case. Switch is only easier because you can find it easily on amazon as well. But you need to do a lot of trimming if you want to make it low profile. Vita is close already and you can skip the full trim if you want and be ok.

where do you usually get your psp shells specifically for the 2000 slim model?

Aliexpress, the shells come and go, some colors go out of stock for years and randomly apears years later. 2000 shells are not perfect buy I will have a shell swap video for the 2000 and tall about all the things you may deal with during the process

@jakeparkinson8929 3 ай бұрын

If you can squash in a pi pico to have a second stick that has a three-way mode switch mapping to the action buttons, dpad or the other stick... then I'd be super impressed.

So if I have a PSP 3000 model, then I need to open the shell and replace the joystick with a 1000 model and make the adjustments to a Vita thumbstick?

@TotalKommando Ай бұрын

The 1000 model stick is not compatible with the 2000/3000 sticks as its much shorter, so i would recommend ordering a spare slim (2000/3000) stick when you order the vita replacement. Once the parts arrive, you chop the bottom of the spare stick to make it easily removable like the 1000 stick, and you know the rest from the video.

@TotalKommando 3 ай бұрын

Stick drift can be because of poor contact between the stick and motherboard and the jelly bridge, and the cheap AliExpress replacements are not as smooth as the original one, so during the swap it may fix it self or stay the same. Im experimenting atm with soldering the contacts directly with wire, to see if one can fully eliminate it on any shell

@@MiBrCo4177 I mentioned 32gb because its dirt cheap and is enough to get started with over a dozen games. You can also do 64gb/128gb but the more games you have the longer the load times when opening the game folder, unless you use a category app to cut down on folder opening read times. You can do 256gb but it would require extra steps to format on your pc then insert into your pc. 64 holds like around 56 games for me. 128gb holds 100+ on my main.
