Sure, but the question has to be: Would any developer want to?

Make tv-out a reality first, then you'll have MUCH more reason to add USB controller support.
Then again, that's up to GPH as it is...

Its a great idea to use the WIZ as a gamepad .. I imagine a scenario where the dedicated controls are all doing the normal USB-gamepad function, and the touchscreen is being used to configure custom controls or provide a virtual keyboard (a la Lebedevs' thingy) .. would be a very nice app to write, imho, and use .. if it worked properly.
What it would take is to get the usb_gadget stuff going already - for gadget_ether, for example, as the first step - and then write a gadget_HID_controller module if one doesn't already exist somewhere.

Ohhh, you mean actually use the Wiz itself as a USB controller.
Seems like a neat idea, but I'd much rather use an actual gamepad.

I got another idea for a software to use the wiz as a controller, how about a tablet type program to make it where you could draw or write in pc programs using the wiz. though they would really need to get the calibration for the wiz touch pad itself a hell of alot more acurate first.

I already brought this up with developers before the wiz was released. They all guffawed at the idea. I think it would be useful, but the developers do not.

Yeah, that's a homebrew done by someone hacking the closed source PSP.
And a similar thing that uses wifi exists for the DS too, even letting you use the DS as a mouse.
I guess the Wiz could maybe work as a gamepad via USB, but I don't know if the USB is strictly file management or if you can use it to do more than that.

Actually, what you said about the virtual keyboard is brilliant. You would be able to use the wiz as a keyboard if your keyboard gets broken, among other things. That would come in handy if I smash my keyboard again (don't ask. Anger issues. =D)
