PSP Game Ideas

Considering the PSP has less buttons than a standard PS2 controller, anyone know why the USB microphone which is used by the PSP talkman cannot be utilised for other games for voice activated game controls? Just a thought...

It might require specific drivers, which might require kernel mode. This is a problem as home brew under firmware 2.0 cannot utilise kernel mode - so no wireless :-(. You could try downgrading your PSP to 1.5 for kernel mode stuff, but be careful you don't brick it. Then you'd have to get the driver or write one (don't know how viable this is as I only have 2.0 on mine).
