How Can I Make a PSP Into a Gamepad?
Based on its design, a PSP (the PlayStation Portable made by Sony), would make for an excellent gamepad for older PC titles (and console emulators). The only problem is that the PSP is not designed to be used as a gamepad with PCs in any way. For those who still want to use a PSP as a gamepad, there is a way to register your PSP on your PC, so long as you have a wireless router and LUAPlayer on your PSP.

Tips & Warnings
It is best to know LUA before attempting this, as this process violates the warranty of your PSP. This means that if you should make a mistake and crash your PSP's firmware, Sony will not repair it.
