The possibility of being able to mod your PSP into having a right-side analog stick is starting to materialize itself. Before we know it, these babies could go into mass production, with modding kits included. It was none other than F00 f00 who tipped us off (and later we were also tipped by Rob) about AcidMods' latest project: the Razor Nub.

We know some of you guys are pretty excited already for this. Much to say, this project has actually already gone quite far as it is. As cyberpyrot posts on the AcidMod forums:

This new nub design will be balanced and fit perfectly on the right side to match it's counterpart on the left side.. For all of you who waited for us to get it under the face plate your wait is now over. I designed the new board to fit cleanly. My good man Neubit manufactured the first batch of prototype boards this morning Chinese time zone. This weekend F00 F00 will produce the first PSP to sport the new design.

This weekend huh? You can bet your short nubs that we'll be ready to post an update on this. To F00 f00, send us a video why don'cha? We'll surely be green with envy, but damn, you'll get all of us drooling still, you lucky modder, you!

If you're looking for a fun reason to whip out your PSP for other real-world applications, then Neubit probably has something you guys might like. It's a video showing his PSP combined with Sony's GPS attachment and Deniska's Map This! software on the road, and you have to be surprised at how well that turned out.

Call it a mini-review of sorts. In under three minutes, Neubit discusses the pros and cons of the combined powers of the GPS receiver and Map This!, including adding some helpful hints for getting the best performance out of the two.

Here's the video showing off the two in action. Just remember: your signal goes out under a bridge!

If you guys have heard of the name Neubit in the PSP community, then you've probably heard of the various projects connected to his name, like the recently announced steering wheel mod, or the Chotto Shotto camera night-vision mod, which would make Sam (Fisher, that is) and Snake (Solid, that is) drool.

This time around, Neubit has decided to let everybody in on how he does his cool PSP UMD Jewel mods by way of a YouTube video. The video displays his works: it begins as a computer-generated image before it eventually gets machined and snapped into place on the back of a PSP UMD door. Aspiring PSP modders may want to stick around, as you'll also see glimpses of Neubit's tools and methods for the project.

Kudos to F00 f00 for tipping us off regarding this gem of a vid.

Neubit and the rest of the gang from Acidmods are cooking up something really tasty in their backyard. The YouTube video below exhibits their steering wheel mod for your PSP. Yup, it's specifically designed for all you racing junkies out there, so be sure to get a good grip on it once it gets finished.

Now, according to Neubit, as it is but a work in progress, he still has yet to wire up a connection jack yet. And in case you're wondering just how holistic this mod is, unfinished as it may be, there are also the Brake and Gas pedals. Actually, this is the PS2 steering wheel hooked up to the PSP.

So, click on play and check it out for yourselves. Keep checking QJ for more updates to this project.

You've seen Neubit's Acidmod of Chotto Shotto into an IR-based night vision camera, and suffice to say, you pray one's not looking down on you as you sleep. Keep praying. F00 f00 tells us that Neubit got around to posting in Acidmods, Part One of his how to turn Sony's Chotto Shotto into an invasion of privacy lawsuit waiting to happen a night-vision camera.

We'll leave it as a Read link for the technically inclined to work on, that they may have dark-room recording capabilities, too. We can explain some of the details of the mod (Part One), not to mention how night-vision works, so that people who are still confused as to how night-vision devices (NVD) work will understand the mechanics behind this mod.

This mod falls under the category of active IR NVDs: they use infrared light (e.g., a remote control IR diode) as a "flashlight" to light up the night. The NVDs you might be more used to are passive NVDs used in the military, such as the one pictured left. They rely on low-light amplification with image intensifiers to lift the blanket of the night. IR NVDs are not normally used in military applications, as the opposition can detect the IR flashlight with their own IR NVDs.

IR-wavelength light is invisible, so our eyes can't pick them up. The Chotto Shotto camera can pick up IR light, but an IR light filter in the assembly filters out the IR spectrum. Part One of the mod involves taking this filter out of the picture, which (in low-light conditions) turns the Chotto Shotto into an active IR-ready NVD. Part Two, when Neubit posts it, will cover the IR flashlight built into the mod, but even with Part One, you could probably use a remote control as a mobile flashlight for your purposes, if it's powerful enough.

Now if that purpose involves videos that may require HideMov/HideMedia BETA II video file stealthing... you did not get this idea from us.

Thanks, F00 f00, for getting this idea to us, but we swear we're not getting any ideas (on how to use this thing)!

If you thought Neubit's battery pack mod for the PSP took the cake for eyebrow raising mods, think again. Syn7h from their site has gone on another tinkering binge as of late, which conceived this interesting little upgrade:

  

Yup, it's a PSP-mounted cooling fan mod. And unlike some other company-sponsored parts we've seen before, this one sucks air directly into the unit's innards - which should make for more efficient cooling, and gives of a nice, powerful hum only a PC-mounted fan can churn out. What are the uses for such a thing? We're sure the guys who somehow find themselves stuck in Death Valley or the Kalahari desert should gets kicks out of this setup. Now if we only had a dust filter mod...

The cool part about this mod is that Syn7h guarantees it does not require any form of soldering, relying instead on either a tube of superglue, or a glue gun. Here's a rundown on what you need:

• PC Cooling Fan
• Wire
• Hot Glue or Super Glue
• PSP
• Little Switch
  

Now before you get started, you will have to remove some components from the PSP, such as chunks of the UMD door and the UMD cradle itself. Make sure to read Syn7h's step-by-step instructions for the mod (click on the Read link), and keep your fingers crossed.

Here's another cool video from AcidMods' Neubit">Neubit. Yes, the same person responsible for the AAA PSP Battery mod. Behold, the new PSP Chotto Shot night-vision mod, in which your PSP Camera is apparently able to capture decent quality video in dim / dark lighting situations.

As much as we'd want to enjoy this mod, and as much as we eagerly await his promised mod tutorial - which he promises to release later this month - there was something about this mod just creeps us out. For one thing, he says that his brother (the one seen waking up in the vid) didn't even notice him (Neubit) filming him.

But what about future implications? How long will it be before we hear more complaints of shaky cam amateur adult content creeping on the PSP?
