What we we have for you today is mod that will kill your UMD drive but provide you with more internal storage amounting up to 30GB. If you are willing to take that trade, then grab your pen and paper now and learn how it is done.

Watch the actual video clip of the mod after the jump!

Tony Hoang (also known as PvP) tipped off QJ.NET that he has gone to work on a revision to the FPS PSP mod. Version 3.0 spins in a similar direction to version 2.0, although this time it swaps the analog control position in placement of the PSP's original four button interface - one for the PlayStation controls and the other for the D-Pad.

It's an improvement over the previous version, which had the analog sticks situated below the Sony PSP's original control layout (see left). Images and more details at the full article.

Remember the FPS PSP mod that Tony Hoang (aka PvP) released last month? The modder dropped us a line earlier to announce that he's decided to redo the project, adding even more tweaks and features to further personalize the FPS PSP. Here's a short list of what's new:

• external analog sticks (relocated)
• speaker grill in UMD drive to protect speaker
• speaker (smaller than grill) in UMD drive to provide a ring of nothing around the speaker
• LEDs in UMD drive
• trigger LEDs
• rumble mod that is hooked up to the hold button (push power button to hold if u want rumble and if u don't want rumble don't do anything after powering it on)
• built-in microphone
• all black design
  

On a related note, PvP mentions that the current build's LEDs burned out - they're going to be replaced soon. PvP also sent in a video to demonstrate how the PSP handles. Enjoy the video. Click on the source link below to read up on this mod's full details.

And this makes it three. PSP modder PvP (aka Tony Hoang) over at AcidMods has apparently been kicking it into overdrive lately, as he informs us of another project that's just been completed. This new mod will ensure that any onboard LEDs mods will only activate under low-light conditions and won't turn on (and drain your battery) when it's bright.

As PvP explained, this was done by wiring the LEDs to a light-sensitive PCB before hooking them up to a power PCB. The sensor is taken from a light-sensitive night light - PvP used the one to the right - which should be readily available in stores. The mod has been described as easy to duplicate and will require the following materials:

• PSP
• LEDs
• IDE cable wires or very thin wires
• Soldering iron
• Solder
• Light-sensitive nightlight ($1.50 at a thrift store)
  

Full install instructions are available at the AcidMods site, provided at the Read link below. There aren't any videos of images available for the mod at the moment - we'll let you know if PvP decides to update with these items.

Tony Hoang, also known as PvP, has informed us that he has created a PlayStation Portable mod that's geared towards players who love playing first-person shooters. You can check out a pic of the FPS PSP at the right.

Here's a list of what PvP has done to the FPS PSP:

• removed stock analog nub
• cover stock analog nub hole with glue and painted it
• remove speakers from previous location and placed them on top of the PSP
• removed UMD drive
• external analog sticks
• usb mod
• sealed up charger port with glue and painted it slightly
• see thru jewel on UMD door
• preparing PSP for 'UMD storage device' mod that I'm working on

It still looks rough, but PvP attests that it works great. Tony is also still in the process of adding a few more features such as a rumble mod and a sound reactive subwoofer mod or IR keyboard for the UMD drive. Cosmetic work on the FPS PSP is also coming.
