While the PSP's Chotto Shotto (aka the Go!Cam) camera boasts a handy set of functions, one issue some peopel have with it is that it sits prominently on top of the frame, and really messes up the PSP's otherwise streamlined exterior. Rex over at the AcidMods forums apparently had the same issues, given this new modding project that's just been finished.

This mod has the camera installed directly inside the PSP Phat, in place of where the UMD drive used to be. Here's Rex's video demonstration to give you a better idea of how it works:



Rex further noted that future projects include plans to build the Chotto Shotto into the PSP Slim. What makes this attempt interesting is that it won't involve removing the UMD drive. That's it for the moment, although you guys may also want to keep on the lookout for a tutorial - the modder plans to release one soon.

Kudos goes to F00 f00 for tipping us off regarding this mod!

This will be most awesome!

What we'd need is two cams, one on both sides
with a flip switch. Video calls or just taking photos.
You'd need two just to replace the swivel motion
of the Chotto/Gocam.

Cool!! I already had a cam, but i bought it back because it's price where to high and quality was a bit to low... Can you make a Tut please? And do i need the orginal cam? And where did you got that cam from(not go!cam)?

Don't want to be too much of a buzz kill, but its still not streamlined is it? Is there anyway to make it less notable on the back, like a smaller camera lens portion, etc.?

I like the way it looks like a traditional camera when you're looking right at the lens.

That big thing you see, is an extra 'big' speaker.. the Go!Cam is kinda hidden at the top right hand corner..

how cool is that? I had the same idea, but I simply don't have the technical knowhow to make that.

Respect to Acid mods and Rex!
