We all like mods. Heck, they make life more interesting for us, and for our PSPs. But how serious are you exactly? If there was a mod-boy award to be given out, would you be in the running? We all know how risky the mod business is. It ain't for the faint-hearted. You gotta have a lot of faith, first, in the developer, and second, in your own skills.

Well, Joe Stranger sure had a lot of both, and if there was a mod-boy award, he definitely would be in the running for it. How come? Just check out this compilation vid of all his PSP mods. He's got the blue WiFi LED, the blue Memory Stick access trigger LEDs, the analogic joystick add-on, and the Xbox jewel complete with blue LED blings. And you know what the best part is? His PSP didn't end up like some Frankenstein. Now that's talent. Good job, dude!

You do realize at the very least 50% of homebrewers have modded flashes. This guy's PSP is one of a kind.

 » nice but

that last mod in the back, eww at the xbox logo on the PSP. I never like mixing systems like that, especially not from different companies. Also, it sticks out of the PSP, Ive seen it done better, flat, no logo. :/ looks good

 » The Xbox mod

Is the coolest one. It looks so friggan wicked. And even cooler with a UMD stars spinning. And I still hate the PS2 analog thing. I honestly don't see why people want that on there; it's too flimsy looking--no resistance. I'd prefer the original PSP one anyday.

The flashing shoulder buttons look cool, but would get annoying if it's always like that. Hopefully it only flashes when downloading something onto the PSP and stays either on or off completely during gameplay. I mean, come on, the loading and charging LEDs are annoying enough as it is.

 » Well thats nice

But I wouldnt recomment doing this if ur not that technical... Lol u can mesh up ur whole PSP.

Looks nice, best PSP mod ever. But wouldnt the blue light drain huge amounts of battery?

 » no

Not nearly as much as overclocking. I wonder if those lights flash when you load savegames and stuff.... that would get annoying.

 » well

trust me when i say ur lucky if ur nub lasts forever trust me. i like the x box logo just cause people get so touchy about stugg like that id so it so good job. i agree that u could make alot of money moding but thats if u wanna take the cances of *****ing someones psp up but if theres is as bad as mine then its pretty much inevitable. i need to grow some ballz and mod that analog stick to my psp. it does look ugly but sumthin is better than nuthin. ;

 » Nice

I'm not really big on mods, but this is NICE. Only thing I don't like is "xbox". There's a big gap in the market here for some company to manufacture UMD tray's for the PSP with clear windows like this. I wonder why nobody's picked up on it yet. They'll make a fortune, and I'd definately buy and install it.

how..can..he..have..a..usb..port..on..the..side??


   Re: I eat game systems (Unregistered) - 2006-11-05
 » Heres how

With a soldering iron, usb thingy on a wire, Some craft knife, and a good really really good skill at modding and soldering.

I think thats how its done on his, A more expensive but easier option might be something through parts from a psp2tv or whatever team extenders thing was.
