Home > Computers > DIY Gamepad Attachment for Sony UX UMPC

Dan Middle, owner of Sony’s UX UMPC, found that platform to be less than attractive when it came to portable gaming, decided to literally take things into his own hands by hacking a cheap USB gamepad, resulting in a set of controls that make available all eight buttons on a single hand, while the other hand will be free to aim with the UX’s mouse controls. The gamepad, originally a “Genius MaxFire Pandora Pro Foldable Mini USB Gamepad for PC” has been attached to a CF dummy card, slotting beautifully into the UX’s CF port. After some testing, it seems that usability is pretty decent, with Vista even recognizing it as a gaming peripheral. Does that mean the PSP and DS Lite are doomed?
